11/22 Happy Thanksgiving!!

I know for damn sure this isn't an original post, but I don't care. In the spirit of the holidays, I'm going to tell you guys what I'm thankful for. And you'd be kidding yourself if you didn't think it would be in list form.

1. I'm thankful to be alive. That's something a lot of people (myself included) take advantage of.
2. I'm thankful for my family. As much as I gripe and complain about them some days, I wouldn't be here today without them.
3. I'm thankful for my friends. Especially those that put up with my shit when I'm having a rough time.
4. I'm thankful I have a job. It may not be my dream job, and I may not be entirely happy there, but I have a decent enough paycheck that allows me to live mostly in my comfort zone.
5. I'm thankful for for the roof over my head, food on the table, and drink in my hand.
6. I'm thankful I have the opportunities to see my favorite bands when they come to town.
7. I'm thankful for the music that keeps me sane.
8. I'm thankful for the internet and the friends it's brought me. I don't care how cheesy that sounds, but I wouldn't be here today without some of the friends I've met online.
9. I'm thankful for the Potter fandom and the opportunities it's brought me.
10. I'm thankful I have my writing as a way to express my thoughts and clear my head when necessary.
11. I'm thankful for my dogs and their unconditional love for me no matter how many bad decisions I make or what kind of mood I'm in.
12. I'm thankful to be spending Thanksgiving at home with just my parents. We always spend Thanksgiving at my aunt's house, and because of my dad's surgery we weren't going to make it over there this year. And I'm okay with that.
13. I'm thankful for the medical technology that allowed my dad to have his knee replaced and that the surgery went so well.
14. I'm thankful for all of you. If you've ever read one of my blog posts, tweets, posts on tumblr, or watched one of my videos on YouTube, I'm thankful for you giving my creative outlets a chance.

American friends, I hope you're having a great holiday and eating plenty of good food. International friends, I hope you're having a great Thursday. I love you guys <3
