It’s Thanksgiving

November 27, 2008

It’s Thanksgiving! Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Even though Thanksgiving is probably the most boring holiday ever. It’s the same thing every year. My dad stays up till 1 cooking, then wakes up at 5 and cooks more. My mom wakes up around 7, and my brother and I wake up 30 minutes before everyone gets here. Then we’re forced to do chores, like this year I had to iron napkins…? WHO IRONS NAPKINS?! What happened to paper napkins? Why do we need to use fabric napkins, that get stains on them, and end up looking like trash. Haha. Then, everyone gets here at noon, me and my brother stay upstairs and watch tv, or go on the computer, because my family’s boring. There’s no one my age. My dad’s side of the family comes over, and my dad was the only one out of the 3 kids to have kids. Therefore, it’s all adults except me and my wonderful brother. (High sarcasm, there.) When it’s finally time to eat, at like 3, there’s never enough room for my brother and I at the table, so we’re stuck in the kitchen. But, we ditch the place before it’s time for dishes. They usually don’t notice we’re gone till the dishes are finished. Then, the guys fall asleep on the couch while “watching” the football game, and the girls go on walks, even though it’s freezing, and if you wanna loose all the calories you just ate, you’d have to walk for 5 hours. Yeah, true fact right thurr, I learned it in math. Haha. And they make ornaments. FUN! ;) So, hopefully I’ll get a lotta updates in. I updated SO much yesterday. I have a lot of content, considering I started this site two days ago. Oh, god, my mom just yelled for me to come downstairs. Looks like I have to go sit in the kitchen with my relatives and talk about stupid stuff. YAY.

Ok, in honor of Thanksgiving, I’m going to ask some questions, and you can answer them in comments! Ok-
1. What are you Thankful for? (I know, boring question.)
2. Do you have any funny Thanksgiving stories?

What’s the point of doing something that your suppose to enjoy, when it feels like a chore? It felt like a chore for me to sign on to exclusive and update for everyone. It wasn’t what I enjoyed doing, that’s why I’m moving on. The one thing I enjoyed doing, was blogging. So, I decided to start over, with a personal blogging site. The first name for it that came to mind was Sophie Online, so I stuck with it. This will not be a myspace resource site, in fact, I’m going to have nothing to do with myspace. No layouts, no nothing. Like I said, this is a personal site, so it’s going to have movie reviews, book reviews, tv reviews, my own portfolio, and more. I’ll put on stuff that I enjoy doing, and that’s it. I’m pretty excited about it, and I hope you like it.

My life…hasn’t really been that interesting. I don’t have any school the rest of the week, because of Thanksgiving. And, it’s freezing cold where I live. It’s like, 10 degrees outside, and the sad thing is, it’s going to get even worse. For real, when I turn 18, I’m OUTA HERE. Also, I have this crazy bus driver. His names Cliff, and he’s like, 80 years old. At first I felt bad for him, because he says he was windowed 3 times. But, about 2 weeks ago, I was getting off the bus, and this is how the conversation went.

Ciff: How come you on this bus?
Me: Ummm, because I was assigned to it?
Cliff: No you were not! You live on the other site of the bus, you should ride 87.
Me: ?????
Ciff: Don’t get on this bus no more! Now get!

The next day, I got on that bus again, and he yells at me. He said he was going to write me up, and I’d be suspended. So, when I got home, my mom called the bus company, and the said they’d send me a bus pass so that he couldn’t yell at me anymore. The next day, I have my bus pass, and the conversation goes like this.

Cliff: What are you doing here?
Me: Um, going home?
Cliff: I told you to stay off this bus!
Me: My mom called the bus company and-
Cliff: I don’t care what your mommy did!
Me: *laughs* The bus company sent me a pass, see look, *pulls out bus card* it say’s (says really slow) bus 49. 4-9.
Cliff: *looks confused* WELL THEN…
Me: *Gets off the bus*

Then today, I was getting off the bus, and he smiled his toothless smile at me and said, “Bye Bye.” I really don’t know what to think. The bus company probably had a lil’ talk with him, since my mom called and complained. HA, that’s what he get’s for messing with me. ;) Just kidding.
