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.

Nov. 10th, 2007 01:50 pmFor lack of anything interesting to post about (the Halloween party was confusing and Shinjuku Ni-chome is never to be spoken of again), I shall picspam. A picture's worth a thousand words, right?
( Mmm, photos. )
( Mmm, photos. )
On the upside, I have made a friend. I think. We barely understand each other but that's okay. His name is Matsuki Tsubasa (I am finally getting the hang of this 'surnames first' thing) and he's in my photography class. We bonded over the uncanny likeness between our shirts and how pathetic his photos are. It's confusing, because I've seen his art portfolio and it's amazing. I've tried to tell him that it's just like drawing what you see with a camera but he doesn't seem to get it, my pronounciation must be horribly wrong as usual.
On the downside, I only ever seem to attract attention from girls who aren't my type. How do you say "I'm sorry but I don't want to go out with you" in Japanese? Meg-neechan and Pukamon are too cruelly amused to tell me. I'm glad I won't be around when oneechan and Kenzie meet, they are way too similar to each other.
* Cinderella eventually got to the ball.
