so much for thankful entries...

so with the hum paper and all, i've realized i didn't do the thankful entries i was gonna do...so i'll do a couple today and a couple tomorrow, making up for missed ones.

so what i was gonna write about on sunday, but never got around to, was how grateful i am for dancing and for all my dancer friends, but especially kevin and ceci. dancers in general are awesome...it's always so much fun to hang out, dance, listen to gossip, and just chatter. i always felt comfortable around the people from the club, and this year i'm starting to feel more at home with the team members, as well. and dancing itself is such a blessing...i don't know what i'd do if i couldn't dance. i feel so free, so much myself when i'm out on the dacne floor, going along with my partner and the music. ah, the loveliness of it all.

ceci, thank you for being there for me and listening to me ramble...you're fun to talk to, and great fun to grin with! whenever i talk to you, i come away calmer and a little more ready to handle things. have a great thanksgiving in san francisco!

kevin, what can i say that i didn't say in your birthday card? thanks so much for talking things out with me when i'm in doubt, confused, or just needing a different point of view. you always give me something to think about, and i really appreciate that. enjoy yourself this weekend!

and to any other dancers who read this: thanks for dancing...without you guys, it wouldn't be nearly as much fun!

just about bedtime...

before i go to sleep, let me write another thanful entry...it's funny...i'm really sleepy, but i need to write it. i just feel like i do. yes.

i wanna thank the two somewhat religious groups of people in my life...hillel/tga and navs. i don't know if any of them read this, except for sam joe, but that's ok. hillel has been wonderful this year. i feel like i've been forming friendships with people, really starting to connect with them, and also with God. it's particularly nice to be in tga since i'm getting to know all the girls so much more. i'm grateful for having all of them in my life. specifically, thanks should go to emily, laurel, the sarahs, and shelley for reaching out to me as i have reached out to them...but really, everyone has been making an effort towards each other, and we've all been bonding well.

the navs people are so awesome and i'm so blessed to have them in my life. at the beginning of the year, i wasn't sure if i could consider them my freinds, or just freinds of cindy who chose to be nice to me. now, i realize that they have accepted me into their group and i can sincerely consider them all friends. i love being around them...there's an energy of love there that's just so nice to be around. i feel comfortable there, like i can just be myself. there are so many specific people that have been amazing to me...candy, who's funny and entertaining and wonderfully friendly...hailey with her hugs...vic chiang, with all the silliness and funny accents and lindy dancing and listening to me talk about my past...vic chu, who's so much fun to be around and so easy to talk to about anything and everything...sam joe, who's fun and quircky and insightful and such a great guy for cindy to be with...mary ann, who has this strangely calming presence...tena, with her laughter and friendliness...and i'm sure i'm forgeting someone, but i'm starting to get very sleepy and a little out of it. in any case, you guys are great and i love you all.

time for bed...tomorrow will be nice.

p.s. a month doesn't seem like a very long time at all...it passed by in a flash...funny how time will do that. i'm finding it hard to believe it's been a month already.
