I'm thankful for...

Upon sucking down the last dregs of the room project, I had the opportunity to go through a folder of saved stuff from school when I was 10...which is always ammusing. On the surface, I seem to have changed so much, but alot of the core is still there. Apparently even my fetish for paradox was there:

"I'm thankful for a lot of things. But mainly, I'm just thankful for life. If it weren't for life, I wouldn't be here. Sure we're thankful for food, and having guests, and being safe, etc. But I rather be in trouble and danger every second, never have guests, and barely have food, than not exist and have everything. (which would be impossible if you didn't exist.) Some people might even thank God just for having Nintendo, but this Thanksgiving I'm going to be thankful for life."
