Happy Thanksgiving

So it's Thanksgiving today, and I didn't even realize it until about 3 hours after I'd woken up. Why? Because I'm in South Korea, and there were no Indians here for the white people to wipe out. Maybe there's some form of "The Japanese came and killed a lot of us" but I haven't heard of any holiday associated with that. Yes, that was probably completely UNpc of me to say, but whatever, I'm alone on Thanksgiving.

So what do you do when you're alone on Thanksgiving? Eh.... you make breakfast in your underwear and cuddle with your puppy while he tries to eat your face.

Seriously though, I really miss my family. I'm really big on holidays back home, and this time of year is my favorite time. There are always good friends and loved ones around, laughing and having a good time. It's the time of year when you cringe at the Christmas songs on the radio (I secretly LOVE them) and shopping becomes a contact sport. The air is cold and chilly and decorations start slowly going up, and twinkly lights are everywhere at night. Waking up and realizing I'm completely alone at the start of my favorite time of year is depressing enough in itself to make me want to go out and decorate a small Korean child in Christmas lights and shiny plastic streamers... or stuff them full of Stove Top and shove them in my toaster oven.
