How did my dinner on Tuesday go? Well, it went well. We had a turkey, dressing (stuffing is that evil stuff that's crammed up the backsize of a bird and makes people sick every year cause it isn't cooked right), a sweet potato casarole (I learned that I like some sweet potato things after all), salad, and that green bean stuff that's on those fried onions' cans. My sister's friend came over, he's a great guy, really amusing and just great to be around. His apartment building caught fire only days before, but he was still in an upbeat spirit. He really enjoyed embarrssing my sister with some lewd comments, that was funny.
The highlight of the evening for me was clean-up. Gettign everythign to fit in the fridge was one thing, but having to catch the turkey (what was left of the 21lbs after carving some off for dinner) because it split the plastic platter in two right before I got it on the shelf. At least the bird is all right, I got it onto a cookie sheet and in the fridge no problem. cleaning up all the juice that leaked all over the floor was something else. I got to give that orange cleaner props, that stuff works excellently on turkey grease on tile floors. At least I have a story to tell later in life about the bird that almost hit the floor.
After clean-up, we all sat around and talked about things, my sister's friend already found a new apartment which is good. He told us about it, and we had other discussions about games, and consoles, and electronic drums (he's a bit of a musician). All in all, it was a good night.
As we go into the holiday, I ask, What's the best part of Thanksgiving? For me, besides getting to spend time with family and friends, it's the leftover sandwich the next day.
Now, for those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving, I expect to hear all about it. Those who do not, well, you're lucky in a lot of ways. Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate the holiday, and Merry Thursday for everyone else.

I can remember when I was thrilled to be the first to comment, I'm not so much anymore, guess the novelty of it wore off for me.
Any comment is appreciated, it doesnt' have to be an intelligent one. After all, what is intelligence anyway?
Well, on my Mom's side I've got Irish and German in me, I've also got Scotch on my Father's side, that and I'm a very strong willed person, I won't let myself get drunk. Someone has to be cognisant enough to handle anything that might come up.
Plum Gekkeikan is a Japanese plum wine. It's sweet, and has a sort of nutty taste, kind of like those dried dates that come on the dried fruit trays from Swiss Colony. It's really good. If you have a store near you that sells sake, chances are they have the plum wine too.

I could have waited, but I wanted to take care of the comment answers, so I improvised an out for me not to have to think hard about the main content.
Nah, I know what was happening. I used frozen strawberries in my version, and on monday, I used the lighter red ones for the test drinks which came out salmon colored (my posted photo) on Tuesday, all I had were darker red strawberries, so the drinks came out darker. I also went from using two strawberrys per shaker, to three, which added to the reddening of the drink.
I only ever wrote one deliberately funny story, that's Old Boot. I talked myself into having to write that one. I like a good laugh now and then too. For funny, I'd recommend you read A Midsummer Night's Dream by Shakespeare, but his writing style and language can be a little overwhelming for people.
I can't do it every day. Even if I have a post to respond to, I don't answer right away most of the time. RP is fun for a diversion, but it's not somrthing that should consume every moment of free time a person has. As for the characters, they evolve as you write with them, and you use them, they grow, they learn, and they get better and stronger. Just like real life, only not real.
I love Lestat:
I'm fully awake now, and ready to take on the internet again.
Yensid:
I am well rested now thank you. The details are way back up there at the top.
By all means refresh yourself and come back stronger. We'll be here for you when you get back.
