I wish super mario galaxy 2 were out. Actually, it would distract me from the many many school work I have for the next three weeks, so maybe it's good that it isn't out yet.

edit, looked it up: Fucking hell, why do they let us wait till 26th March? T.T

Hey, just stopping by to say my tournament went well. Made second in Humorous Interpretative, and 14th in Impromptu. Yeah, that wasn't that great an event this time but oh well. Oh, and I won't be on today. Two essays, another music CD, major chores, and some other crap to do today. Later.

Man, I'm excited for Thanksgiving. Food, football, and a few days off.

Hard to believe it's so soon already, right? I actually go home for break after my last class Tuesday (though it ends at 10pm >_>). Though I'm looking forward to different things, My friend's lending me her Colosseum Bonus Disc so I can get a Jirachi, The Mysterious Crystal event starts (yay latias), more time to work on my nano, and yay no classes for a few days. xD

Thanksgiving. Somebody please explain it's meaning to me real short, as I don't know (read; too lazy to check Wikipedia)

Something like:

When the first people from Europe moved over they were starving and the Native Americans helped them with food and stuff.

I dunno, it's what I've been told.

We haven't been really told anything, but I don't need to know it either, unless I all of a sudden move to the US, which isn't going to happen any time soon anyways.

Total weak sauce. My friend who goes to Pitt has classes on Monday and Tuesday too. Luckily I convinced him to have someone else turn in his physics lab and come home on Monday.

It's good to be home. My sister insisted on making margaritas, even though I said mom would be mad if I was drunk when she got home. She just told me to act like I wasn't drunk, and it worked fine. I actually wasn't that drunk at all, which helped.

We also made a pizza and guacamole, and we were going to make a cake but there were no eggs left. It was going to be for World Television Day or whatever was on wikipedia yesterday, but we're going to have to find a new holiday to make a cake for today.

Then we raped, murdered, stole from, and gave smallpox to them as a show of gratitude!

A semi-religious holiday started by the Europeans, thankful for the Native Americans' help to survive the winter.

A holiday dedicated to recognizing what we take for granted such as food (which is recognized by devouring a feast =D)

Then we raped, murdered, stole from, and gave smallpox to them as a show of gratitude!

Well, this IS America we're talking about.

Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday. No responsibilities or anything, just lots of food.

I heard TG is a fake holiday, just yet another something made up to make Americans spend money .__.;;

I dunno. I don't really like most of what people make on TG... I like KFC potatoes better than real potatoes and I like ham better than turkey.

Ironic how Europeans appearently started thanksgiving, but don't celebrate it nowadays. Ah I don't care anyway, I'm a vegetarian, and I heard the main course of thanksgiving is turkey meat.

it was in America where it supposedly happened so I guess that's why.

yeah I know. Well at least we have Sinterklaas here, which seems more fun to me, as I'm very fond of the Sinterklaas candy :D

I also heard thanksgiving is also a holiday usually used to visit/invite the parents that aren't visited/invited on Christmas xD

Nah, that's just Valentine's Day. :p Maybe now they've turned it a little towards being a way to earn money, but it was originally to give thanks or whatever.

Personally I don't care, the holiday usually sucks for me because my family usually goes to my grandma's and my grandma just doesn't get me (finds the whole anime thing stupid), and thus I spend most of the time playing or drawing, which I could have done in peace at home instead. =3=

People usually get their entire family together at one big table for the huge dinner (and considering how much food is usually made, they had better. xD), so it's kinda that.
