an unconventional thanksgiving

so this thanksgiving will be a bit unique. my mom is coming up to chicago as she did last year.  the difference this year?

doug, as well as his mom, dad, and sister will be joining us for the feast.  the meeting of the parents!  ahhhh!  crazy bananas.  thankfully we will have tons of food and tons of spiked apple cider.

also, to add a bit of spice, our amazing friend blair will be joining us for the day.  doug, blair and i have been discussing the menu all morning long.  im getting hungry thinking about all of the food.

soooo excited yall.

i never want to take down my blanket fort.

also i dont want doug to ever take the projector back to his work.

srsly yall.  laying on a mattress on the floor watching shitty/amazing movies projected onto a blanket hanging from the ceiling is kind of amazing.

Worth it

I used to think there was no such thing as sleeping in too late, but right now I’m really wishing I had more of today left, haha.  It’s all ok though, because last night was worth it.

It’s hard for me to be social with people I don’t know very well in groups because I’m such an introvert, but last night was a lot of fun in large part because of the people I’m getting to know.  I have also never witnessed the unifying power of the Black Eyed Peas until last night, and that shit is extraordinary.

For all of that I have to thank Matthew as the gathering was in honor of his birthday.  I have many amazing friends, but none that I have known longer than Matthew.  It’s been over 10 years since we met each other in high school, and looking back I can’t imagine what my life would be without him being around for most of that time.

You’re the best friend I have Matthew, and I hope you are in my life for the next ten years and the ten after that.  Happy birthday asshole, haha.

thanks.  youre toooooo nice.

asshole.
