   Thanksgiving!
This is the email I sent to family and friends(whos email addresses I actually know) so i figured I'd share it with you all, too, since a lot of you are my friends, but don'thave any contact info up! *tsk tsks*

"And OMG look who it is, right? This is some lovely Thanksgiving spam made up by me for you guys to read, pass around or um...whatever you do. Let's start spreading the love and happiness, shall we?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!
Whee! Don't even ask how much of a pain yahoo was to even get the alternating colors to work. Just...don't even ask.

So...what are you thankful for?

Sure, it's a load of crap, we hear it all the damn time! "STFU! I'm not thankful for anything cause my life SUCKS!" Yeah, well...I could say that, too. But I'm not going to. Time to take a better look at life, just for a moment.

"I know it's not Thanksgiving, but i'd like us to say what we're thankful for...I'll start. Um, I'm...thankful to be alive this year. And...to have a job. And to be sober."
"Yeah, um...I'm thankful for my mom gettin' out of jail...that's cool. And this girl gave me her number..which is also cool."
"Thanks for leftovers-I'm full. Thanks for diet Pepsi, and good neighbors."
".....thanks for dinner."

I hope you all appriciate the effort I had to put in just to make sure that quote was accurate. Cause the DVD player in the kitchen doesn't have a remote at this moment, so I had to fastforward through the movie to get it that far, so I could listen. And for the hell of it, one more good quote from that movie:

"Good memories can save your life."
-Joan, The Punisher.

Because that's really very true.

Feel free to add what you're thankful for and send to friends, family, or just back to me. Cause I'm sending it to everyone I can. Spread the love, I tell you!

So...I'll start. I'm thankful to be pretty much out of my depression this year...and especially thankful not to be cutting anymore, for quite some time now. It proves that you don't need shrinks...that you can quit harmful habits at your own will. Um...I'm thankful for my family, of course, and them all being in good health. Even though Erik's off in Thailand and my dad can't be here...it could be so much worse, and I'm just so thankful that they're alright. Obviously, I'm thankful for a house to live in, a bed to sleep in, clothes to wear and food to eat. I'm thankful my Grandfather is still in good health, cause without him, I'm not so sure I'd be here to even say this to you. Thanks...for good friends, even if a lot of them are many miles away. I'm thankful for all the good times and the little things...because, let me tell you, the little things are more important than you think. You never realize how important those little things are to your happiness until one of them goes wrong or disappears...then that's one less smile, whether you really realize it or not. Um...I'm thankful to be able to look on the brighter side of things, cause...I know I've said to every "blessing", there's a downside, and that's true...but being able to look past that and see the good in nearly everything...that's true happiness. So I hope you'll all try to do that, even if just for this one day. Cause no matter how far away family or friends are...they still love us. And that blessing, in itself, is something you can never be too thankful for.

Love to all, and happy thanksgiving,

Elena"

Yes, OMFG that's my real name. But half of you knew that already, I think.

Now, if you guys don't mind...I'd like to hear the answer from all of you, not just the people I emailed it to(obviously, if I emailed it to you, ignore this), be it in PM or just in the comment. Be safe and Happy thanksgiving!

"Yes, let's thank God, shall we? For his blessings are raining down on me-wait! That's not rain!"

"So you think God is picking on you?"

"God is a mean kid with a magnifying glass. He could fix my life in five minutes if he wanted to. But he'd rather burn off my feelers, and watch me squirm!"
