I'd say it's more like two weeks away, but whatever...

You live in Southern Michigan right?  Maybe I'll visit and we'll have a big Desert Colossus party!

Let's see, next week is the week of November 11-17.  Thanksgiving this year is on November 22.  So Gamefreak was right.  It's more like two weeks away.  What calendar are you looking at?

Well, first my sister is coming home from college. Yay! And then we'll have a six hour drive to Ohio and I'll see all my relatives. It's going to be really fun. My cousins Christy and Anna are always really fun.
Last time I saw them was at my cousin Ted's wedding. Before that day, we went to my aunt Caroline's house for my grandma's birthday. And my really annoying cousin, Julia (three years old) started yelling when Christy and I got there saying to her dad (Uncle Steve).
Julia: Daddy, look! My friends are here!
Uncle Steve: I think they're also your cousins.

Oh, 6 hour drive? you poor soul... I always hated going down to Ohio... well, it wasn't the fact that it was boring down there, just way to long of a trip from here lol

Hey, road trips for the win.
Title: Re:Thanksgiving
Post by: JDog on November 09, 2007, 10:57:35 AM
heh, yea, the good thing about road trips is, I can just bring my PSP and watch several movies, or play several games lol

Ah, Thanksgiving. We're going to have a pathetic one, with just me, my fat sister, my mom and dad, and Lloyd and grandpa might come... urk, I'm so tempted to just go hang out with my friend Sarah on Thanksgiving, her family is so nice and not slightly demented. They also have seafood for this holiday... awesome.

Well, normally, we'd be going to California to my Grandparents' house for Thanksgiving, but my Grandparents won't be able to have us this year, due to a variety of factors. Besides, gas is so expensive nowadays that it would cost a lot to go up there, and we'd also be spending a lot on food (there are usually lots of people there). This year, I'm not sure what we're doing...

Aw, I wish I had a PSP. Or at least a portable DVD player. All I have is my DS, GBA, and iPod mini (which I wish was a video). My dad has a video, I'm trying to convince him to put videos on it so I can watch them in the car.

Well, I was gonna say, if you had a regular Ipod. I think you can watch movies on that, but sadly, you have a mini. :(

*In bored mono-tone voice*

This year we're going to my cousins' house since our grandparents canceled it this year and I'm really going to miss my other cousins and the bonfire.

I recently found out I'm going up to Pennsylvania.  Which means I'll probably be hiding in the basement most of the time.  Usually, it's the only place at my grandparent's house where I can find some peace.

You can't watch videos on a regular iPod. It has the same kind of screen as a mini.

Well, I'm at my cousin's house in Ohio for Thanksgiving now. We'll be eating pretty soon. My cousin Christy is here, but my cousin Anna isn't. Oh well. I'll psot some pictures on the facebook topic when I get back.  :)

Ohyeah, I had my dad's side of the family over for Thanksgiving... ugh, having a Wii sucks, they all keep crowding in my room. ;_;

Just staying at home while my dad watches his usual football. And we watched the Macy's Parade this morning. We just ate, and we had chicken because we don't like turkey.

Okay, well... Thanksgiving was bland, we had average food. And... everyone STILL crowded in my room... one of the kids royally screwed my TP disc, it's scratched and it was in the case backwards... in between some loading zones, it screeches and makes white noise. /: not to mention the pointer is off now, and there's a strip of slightly off colour at the top.

I, personally, sat on the computer for most of the day, watching Silent Hill playthroughs and stuff. It was hard with little children everywhere. >_> -hates holidays- I also had to walk the kids to the beach, where a pier washed up. Lucky me, I got splashed by god knows how much water and... I'm sure I'm going to have a cold tommorow. D:

Not to mention that everyone keeps asking me math problems and gives me details of things I don't particularly care about.
