shweeeeet

I didn't have any Internet for a few days and I survived. I'm not as addicted as I thought I was. Points for me.

Hope everyone had a RIDICULOUSLY FUCKING AWESOME thanksgiving.
...................yeah, no. People make such a big deal over this one day, and when they enthusiastically ask, "How was your thanksgiving???!!" what am I supposed to say, "It was the BEST FUCKING DAY OF MY LIFE"

I mean, all you do is eat. Which is pretty sweet, I guess. But seriously. Un peu overrated, if you ask me. Oooh well, I still hope your thanksgivings were okay.
My parents are in AK, so between myself, my brother, and my grandmother, we didn't get a turkey, since those things last forever and I hate turkey leftovers. But I made steak, some kick ass french string beans (they're becoming my specialty), candied yams, mashed potatoes...which, for me, is a big deal. Even my brother was surpised that I had that much range in my cooking abilities. GO ME.

On another note, I really really love buying books. Any books. Novels, dictionaries, cookbooks, doesn't matter. I'm a huge dork. New books really turn me on, baby.

I cut mah hair. Got bangs again, I missed having them.

So, fun news: junior (or was it senior) year at spence, Frosch told me to submit some poetry to the Asian American Writer's Workshop, because they were compiling a youth anthology or something. So I did, and didn't hear from them. Until this fall. Apparently they picked one of my poems to be in the anthology, and....well, I cringed when I re-read it, but if they liked it, it's all good. So....I'm in an anthology! Very exciting. I'm dragging Elena to the reception. I take her everywhere with me, she's like a security blanket.
(It's her birthday tomorrow, party at our place)

I'm getting a sugar high from some pumpkin cake goodness that I just inhaled so.............bye.



p.s - I stole my brother's little gameboy color with super mario land and brought it back to the dorm. And I'm knitting a scarf. I feel like both of these things are not very conventionally me, but I'm enjoying the out of character-ness.
