thanksgiving day
i spent thanksgiving with two families. one was straight up american, the other was an italian family. very fun.
as we were praying over the thanksgiving meal, the sweet potatoes caught on fire. Rose's little italian mother started saying "fumo fumo". we thought she was praying. she wasn't. we turned. smoke was billowing from the oven. we opened the oven. flames belched out. we got that under control. the smoke detector went off. we opened the door. cold air rushed in. i could see my breath inside the house.
it snowed!

So I trot over here to reply to a comment and I find... two Kimi posts?
A veritable cornucopia.
**looks up "gout" on dictionary.com cause he has no idea what it actually is**
...Ow!
That gets better, right?
I'll keep you in prayer.
...I have just realized something. To me, EVERY stranger is a large, beer-imbibing, grizzled man in a redneck gas station at 2 in the morning. I'm not sure why. :)
Sure, I love making friends at school, but put me in any sort of situation where it's not just little goldfish in a tank and I definitely hate talking to strangers (or even what a lot of Southerners would just call "being friendly.") I've walked my dog the long way around the block before to avoid having to pass some random neighbor and say hi... hehe. (a little weird.... oh well).
About my blog... I think it's something that I had vaguely noticed a little bit before I left for school... then I noticed the same thing more at school, mostly reading a couple of things on Xangas and a short conversation or two. The "question" sort of popped into my head a couple of weeks ago as I was walking around. Then, I remembered it that night and thought I should try to express it... my first try fizzled and I deleted it, tried to simplify, and started again.
...anyway, I think I'll write another post of my own now... as you can see, I'm restless and want to type.
Glad you had an... exciting Thanksgiving. :)
See you back at school.
