thanksgiving. :)

So if you were just sitting on edge, biting your fingernails, and hyperventilating just wondering what I did for thanksgiving, the wait is over.
 If you were expecting turkey, stop. just stop right there. turkey (no offence to the bird, they are lovely birds), is over rated. The pilgrims were getting a huge feast ready and the best meat they could find was turkey? seriously?! Could you not find a pig?!! I bet you they didn't even have bacon. sure they had corn. how american of them. But you have to admit. There's nothing more american then fryin' up the bacon. Nope. The Indians introduced them to america's core, corn, and in return, the pilgrims decide to cook them up a dry turkey that probably didn't even taste that great. did they put any spices on it? probably not. Would they have been better off cooking up some pork? probably. That is where I leave this subject.

So my thanksgiving experience. So obviously by the paragraph above, I do not have turkey on my very good side. Actually, my family went to P. F. Chang's. Yes. Chinese for thanksgiving. Columbus would have gotten there anyway if America hadn't been in the way. Now, the food was lovely. Actually it was fantastic. But. Since I was feeling a bit rebellious, I decided to not order water like the rest of my family. No. I rebelled and ordered lemonade. And yes, the first time she brought me lemonade. but then. she decided to come back. And i watched her as she re filled everyone elses glasses with water. and then she picked up mine. And i watched her as she filled up my quarter full lemonade with water. And she just walked away. and i sat there for a minute... and I looked at my glass... and I took a sip of not just watered down lemonade. but a crushed rebellion  a crushed order. a beverage fail. really? really? Can you imagine what it would have been like if half way through the American revolution, George Washington's grandmother came over and kidnapped him and took him back and sat him down and made him drink watery lemonade.
.......... REALLY?!
Well yes. that was my thanksgiving. Hope you had a good one too.
