Thanksgiving Break, Day 2/5

THANKSGIVING!!!!

If you want this whole post summed up in 4 words, here it goes: Bursting at the Seams. Wow, it was such good food! Especially good was this cornbread/italian sausage with bell peppers stuffing that Regina's Uncle Tigger made. Sooo amazing!

After the meal, we went to visit some of Allie's and Tigger's friends, who, much to my dismay, all have babies of their own ranging from 6 months to 2 years. Ugh. It was just too much for me. I mean, since being eight years old, we have only had 2 babies in our family, and here I was stuck in a room full of 6 babies! I did like one of them, Gabriel, who I trained to give me high-fives on command, but the rest were quite annoying. Plus add breast-feeding mothers to the mix, and here I am, an emerging gay man focusing on college and parties, being stuck in a room full of babies and boobs flying around. Totally weird to say the least!

These mothers wouldn't go to a back room or any form of privacy either, they would just pop it out, and I'd turn around and bam! Public nudity!

Which leads me to my next point that these days the masses are totally afraid of male genitalia and men have been forced to all forms of modesty now (which women somehow easily charm their ways out of), but I'll save that for another time.

On the whole, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope everyone had as much amazing food as I did, I miss you all back home, and I can't wait to be home for christmas break!

Love,

Neil

Thanksgiving Break, Day 1/5

This is my first day on thanksgiving break! I am at Regina's Aunt and Uncle's house. I am experiencing yet again the adventures of a new neighborhood and territory. Like having my room in a basement.

I would have liked to be home at a time like this, but alas, that was not in the plans the universe has in store for me.

I promised myself I would write at least a short blurb before I go to bed each day. As I had two morning practices in a row, and duty, I will be going to bed very soon! I'll get the "I'm thankful for these things" out of the way first, because I know they're expected. I'm not including family, because everyone should know I treasure that a lot, and that getting care packages are one of the coolest things a college student will ever get while at school.

I found my camera! Huzzah! It was underneath my sink, in a plastic bag. I blame Captain Planet. Don't ask haha. The trees now are bare, and I will for sure take pictures again soon of winter!

I am Thankful for:

~~~~An amazingly handsome boyfriend (Michael <3), who kisses me goodbye in public (with people around) , even though I know he hates PDA with a passion. It really showed me he cares.

~~~~An unbelievable best friend (Hannah) who gives me hugs and second hugs, even third hugs every day, and who smiles just because I'm smiling.

~~~~The Internet: for allowing such people to post their general life views/struggles/ and inspirations for me to read, in order to find love and beauty in the world again. These stories and pictures remind me of the beauty and diversity in everything and everywhere.

~~~~Being given a body that does what I want, and looks good while doing it! I'm usually the one to complain about how I'm not good looking enough, but deep down I know I've been gifted. Thank you, Genetics :)

Love,

Neil
