Back to life

I've been terribly neglectful of this blog, instead choosing to relay messages in small pieces- or not at all.
While in some circles keeping my mouth shut is encouraged, this little corner of cyberspace is rarely stumbled upon, so I don't think I'm bothering anyone by rambling incessantly... Though it is a little lonely sometimes. The main thing on my mind this particular evening (other than "wow, it's been forever since I wrote up a blog entry, I'm amazed I haven't gone mad") was Thanksgiving. On the day itself my main thought on it was, "Ah, Thanksgiving, the most self-loathing time of the the year," due the fact that I ate too much, and it did a bit of damage to my confidence- I've become more and more self-conscious lately, and there's nothing like eating too much yourself to make you feel profoundly unattractive... I very nearly missed the point completely- I'm a few days late, but I'm trying- the point being, Thanksgiving. As, in giving thanks. Of course, you all knew that, I'm just trying to reinforce that for my own benefit, don't mind me. What am I thankful for?

A family that cares about me.

My friends- Those I've known since the 6th grade and those I am just learning to love.

A (relatively) safe and warm place to live.

The fact that I am able to talk to the amazing Mason from a'tris on a regular basis. (That just randomly popped into my head. The novelty has worn off a bit but the wonder of it never escapes me.)

Coffee.

I am fortunate enough to live near an excellent music venue that good bands play at quite frequently- That seems a little silly, but music is a huge part of my life, and some of the most amazing nights of my life have taken place at the Orange Peel.

I know there's a lot more, and I'm probably going to wind up adding to this about a thousand times... I just felt the need to put it out there. Maybe I'll even keep this as a running thing. Who knows?
