Love fest, get your asses in here
It's a holiday, so for one entire day we have to smile and be nice to each other and give *hugs*. Yes, even you Canadians, I don't care if you already celebrated Thanksgiving. Celebrate again.
But seriously. I am thankful for TAC. I am thankful for a fantastic run of mafia games - it was great fun while it lasted and who knows, maybe some day people will be interested again. I am thankful for all the lovely art - even the stuff that isn't safe for work but isn't marked not safe for work, so you click it at work and go HI BOOBIES and hit close . I am thankful for good discussion and baby pictures and reviews of the movies and books I care about. I'm thankful to the supporters and the admins and the people who show up just to read. I am thankful for the lyric game thread and the best and worst movies threads. I am thankful for the poems and the essays and the short stories. And none of it would be here without you.
Yeah, you. *winks*
So if you managed to read that without hurling, thank you, and have a happy thanksgiving. *hugs*

I am thankful to Roz for having the good sense to be another Mae so that we could be constantly confused on SMMO. I am thankful such confusion caused us to get to know each other and become friends. I am thankful she invited me here. I'm thankful for the friends I've made and a place to haunt where people say what they mean and yet still manage to get over it later. I'm thankful for the art crits and comments and the mafia games (its a lot of fun finding new ways to kill you guys and I mean that with love!) I'm thankful for Billie letting me help her do the above killing and for being a good friend. =)
I love you guys! Happy Thanksgiving!
*mutters I haven't even had anything to drink yet*

Thankful for my beautiful daughter that most of you have watched grown up via the internet. To veb for being my quiet bard or my silly little gnome warlock, but very much a caring husband and friend. I'm thankful for life being very very good in many ways right now (knock on wood). Thankful I don't live paycheck to paycheck, that my daughter wants for nothing, that my dog doesn't mind her purple collar, that life went on after EQ and WOW, that art and writing is now a very big part of my life and it makes me happy. Thankful I don't suck (that bad) at poser.
Thankful for the patience TAC has forced me to have. Thankful that Diet Dr Pepper tastes almost exactly like regular Dr Pepper. Thankful that soon the bard and I will be trying for bebe #2. But just pretty thankful that my family is healthy, I talk to my mother every day, that my husband doesn't care I'm not a size 2 and that my friends are good ones, definitely worth having.

I'm thankful for TAC for the candid conversations, and beautiful art, and for those seldom times when I post my own art, crit of what I do. I'm ever so thankful for SA, with out it my brain would have exploded by now. I write, it's part of who I am and when my last message board closed, Tac gave me an amazing place to learn and grow more as a writer. I've met so many interesting people and I'm able to be immersed in a world of vampires, weres and sex. Good times!
Oh yes, I said aunt.
My aunt looks like Steven Tyler.
Oh yes, I said aunt.
Be thankful she doesn't look like Mick Jagger?
