First of all, I have to say that I'm thankful in general for everything, especially the fact I get to type this on a laptop in a heated home, and that I go to a school that is accelerated. Related to my classmates though, I am grateful for a couple of people:
I'm thankful for Lauren. Lauren, we've talked about this, but in seventh grade, we were pretty good friends. However, we drifted apart throughout the middle of the year and in eighth grade because we started to make friends that were so different. When I found that you were in my English class, even though I was disappointed like you were that we didn't get to be in a class with one of our actual friends, I was glad I was in a class with you. I would much rather have you than a lot of the other thirsty people in our grade. You seem to be so chill and relaxed all the time and you always know the right thing to say, like you're thinking about what you're going to say. I am not that person, as you already know. I'm glad that we're friends again, and you're just a good person. Also, I always like what you're wearing. You have good fashion taste.
Evan, I looked at a couple people's blogs just to see if they did it or not and then I looked at yours. And I was like, holy crap, how did he do this before I did? I'm really losing my touch.
First of all, I'm really surprised at what you said about me. But I agree. Somewhat. Wait, what does chunk mean? Urban Dictionary didn't really help.
I just knew you as a guy who was in my division and also in my gym class in eighth grade. I still have so many horrible pictures on my phone by the way. I never really considered you my friend until this year. And I'm happy about that, because like Lauren, you're one of the only popular frackies that I actually like. I look forward to English because I get to talk to you, and Lauren. You're just such an easygoing guy and you're also hilarious. Also, you've been getting really good at doing your homework. Better than me. Congratulations.
Happy Thanksgiving to you both, and even though I told Evan already that I don't celebrate it at all, I hope you guys eat a lot of turkey, which I think is disgusting and I feel really bad for those turkeys. The holiday season must be, like, their mass massacre season. Oh, and eat cranberries? Or stuffing? Is chestnuts for Christmas? You know that Costco only sells them right now?
Oh, and I'm sure Mr. McCarthy is reading this and shaking his head in sadness, so happy Thanksgiving to you too!
