onlensreflex: (not bad!)
I am thankful for:
  • My family: Aussie, Japanese, and digital
  • My friends: Aussie, Japanese, cast member, and Chosen (yes, this means you guys!)
  • My flatmates, and their friends and girlfriends who are over so often that they seem like flatmates themselves
  • My Program: Getting the chance, my parents saying "sure you can wander off to another country again", being allowed to transfer to something I'm good at and enjoy... I could go on all day but I'd rather not unless the Mouse is paying me.
  • Airplanes
  • Facebook, e-mail, Skype, and Livejournal
  • Travel insurance
  • The turkey turning out great, especially for our first time making it ourselves
  • Jo's awesome pies (and Sam's suggestion of pies!)
  • The meat thermometer that Jo stole from work a few months ago
  • My flatmates not minding eating takeaways for a few days because the turkey took up first most of the freezer and then half the fridge (actually, who am I kidding? half of them eat takeaways most of the time anyway)

    I'm thankful for one or the other every day, but it's nice to take stock. Maybe I'll make at least the thankful part a yearly thing. I'm not sure Mum and Dad will really take to another turkey holiday, and it's not like I can do it with the guys again.

    I managed to get Thanksgiving off work. What should I do? Alternately, what do you do, American people?

    We don't have Thanksgiving in Australia, so yes, this is baby's first Thanksgiving.

    Most big American holidays like Halloween and Christmas, we have in Australia as well, just not as overblown as the Americans do it. Or we have something similar, like Australia Day vs. Independence Day (kind of like your National Foundation Day but more enthusiastic).

    One holiday we don't have is Thanksgiving, which I'm guessing is exactly what it sounds like, and my American friends here inform me always involves a roast turkey. I'm gonna give it a go. I'm getting kind of excited. Or just hungry.
