Does anyone else ever remember there being a Chips Ahoy contest that if you got a box of Chips Ahoy cookies that didn't have any chocolate chips in it, you'd win some large amount of money? Man, fuck that contest. That is so not worth it. Sure, try telling me that I can buy all the Chips Ahoy cookies I want with all the money. You'd be right, but that money sure as hell wouldn't cover the expense of all the emotional damage that'd be inflicted upon me when I went to have some milk and cookies, and opened up a box of chocolate chip-less cookies. Nor would it cover the cost of all the damage I'd cause to myself and the things around me in the ensuing shit fit I'd throw after discovering my cookies had no chocolate chips. Fucking worst contest ever. I'm glad I didn't "win" it. But as you may have gathered, I'm a big fan of cookies and milk. It's the best dessert going, for sure. But I've always liked the simple things in life. My favorite lunches are a PB&J with a tall glass of milk, and grilled cheese with tomato soup. These are the things that make me happy. And when people start fucking around with my simple pleasures, I get pretty pissed. But then again, I'm not even sure if this contest ever happened. I just vaguely remember a commercial for it. Or maybe I don't. Can anyone back me up on this?

Oh yeah! Want to know the saddest thing I've heard in a long time? My friend Anthony is not having a Thanksgiving this year. He's going to be spending it alone! His parents are going to be on vacation, and his siblings will be elsewhere, as well. I got seriously bummed when I heard about it. So Anthony's going to be home alone on Thanksgiving with a Hungry Man turkey dinner and a loaded gun, and he's going to be thinking hard about which one to put in his mouth. And that's just terrible to me. I want to invite him to share Thanksgiving with me, but my Thanksgiving is not being held at my house this year. I still plan on making mention of it to my mother tomorrow, but it's kind of rude to invite people to someone else's house for dinner. Either way, I don't think Anthony should be spending Thanksgiving by himself. The kid loves to eat, and if he misses out on the biggest eating holiday all year, it will be an enormous tragedy. So I was thinking of gathering whoever was around, and having all of us go to the American Pie Company this Wednesday so we can feed him their delicious turkey dinner. I've only talked to Christian about it so far, but he seems to be down. I haven't even mentioned it to Anthony, so I don't even know if he'll be able to do it. I figure he'll find out about it when he reads this, but who knows. I just want to get something together so Anthony doesn't miss out on Thanksgiving this year. So if any of you readers out there have any suggestions or like my American Pie Company idea, let me know. Because there is nothing more depressing than a Hungry Man brand microwaveable Thanksgiving dinner.

But now that I've got all of the serious matters out of the way, who's psyched for Thanksgiving break?! I know I'm excited to see all of my friends again. What I'm not excited about is the fact that I'm going to be working a lot while my friends are home, though. It's to be expected, though. The week of Thanksgiving is a big week in the retail world, and they need all the help they can get. But I figure that I should let all of my readers know when I'll be around so that I can get lots of good hang out time in. On Tuesday, I get out of work at 8:30. Wednesday, I get out of work at 5. Thursday is Thanksgiving. I'll be in Middletown or Cromwell or somewhere. Friday, I get out of work at 3. I'm sure I'll be dead tired after a 9 hour shift, but seeing my friends is much more important than sleeping. If I really need to sleep, I'll sleep while hanging out with my friends. And Saturday, I'm working 4-9:30. Now I'm willing to hang out at any point that I'm not working or Thanksgivinging. So you guys just let me know when you want to see me. Of course, on the off chance that some of us miss each other this week, winter break is only two or three weeks after that.

Okay. Now business is settled. I guess I wasn't as done with the serious stuff as I had originally thought. But I guess that's what you're getting from me tonight. But I'm going to get going to bed soon, I think. I've got my only day of school this week tomorrow. So that cuts the amount of days I go to school in a week in half! And I think I'm looking forward to this school day. I even did all of my homework. That is, unless you consider doing the reading for my Marketing class homework. I don't really read too much for classes. I'm smart enough in all subjects. I don't want to make the rest of the students look bad. Although, I already do. I swear to god, if I don't start off class by answering questions, the rest of the class just stares at the teacher while (s)he waits for answers. Nobody makes a fucking move. The students don't do anything. The teacher doesn't do anything. So I have to break the silence. It's ridiculous. I used to be the quiet one in class, but now I'm the one putting my two cents in for everything. Fucking necessity. What a bitch! Oh well. I'm done here for tonight. See you cool cats tomorrow!
