Thanksgiving

Classic Birmingham moment: sitting in Wagamama, clinking sake glasses with four people from four different countries (none of which are the US), and all saying "Happy Thanksgiving!" In Greek, German, British and Canadian accents.

I love my friends.

Of course, I'm missing my friends and family from the US as well today... you know what they say, "Make new friends, but keep the old / One is silver and the other's gold." It's such a cliche, but I felt like reiterating it today.

In other news, I've pretty much finished my writing sample! I'm going to read it aloud to myself to play with style and check for typos, but I think it's good! :) It's only been, what, a year and a half?

And I'm going to London tomorrow to spend more time with the parental units. That'll be fun. And I'll take aproximately five gagillion books on 18th-century theater with me. Whee.

Then Renee is coming! Yay!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving, folks.
