A Quick Thanks For Thanksgiving!

Hello hello everyone!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Okay... so I MIGHT be posting this at a really late time, meaning it's technically the day AFTER Thanksgiving, and you'll all be seeing it that day or later anyway...
But shhh, let's just pretend it's still Thanksgiving Day for this one little post! XD!



Ah, I love Thanksgiving! A lot more this year than I have in past years! I have quite a lot to be thankful for! The Lord, family, and, of course, you guys!




I can't even begin to say how much you guys mean to me! Y'know, when I first met some of you, I was going through a time when... well... when I felt my best friends and I had pretty much grown apart completely. And, being the shy person I am, I knew it would be hard to make new friends- I'm not the kind of person that can just go up to someone and start talking.
But then I met you guys, and it really helped lift me up and keep me happy. After that, I DID end up making two new friends IRL, and I like to think it was because of all the bloggers having my back and encouraging me.

I'll admit, I am having a similar problem these days. My IRL friends just seem so... different. They talk about things I'd rather not even think about. They're all a little more talkative- I'm more of a listener. They live in the real world, and I'm pretty much a dreamer.
But, knowing you guys care, knowing you guys are always behind me... that helps me in ways you could never imagine.

So thank you. I'm thankful for every single one of you today, and every day! You guys are amazing. :,)







*Dusts hands off*
Well... ahem... I apologize if that all sounded cheesy to you guys. But it's true- I swear it is.


Well, I better get going. I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving (even you, Lost, even though yours was a while back, XDD)! I'll try to get a post up tomorrow- I have it as a draft right now, because I haven't quite finished it yet! But, until then, remember to PARTY HARD, BE KIND, and JAM ON! ;)

    Happy Thanksgiving, Swirl!! I hope you had a great day! :D
    And hopefully your week isn't filled with leftover turkey
    *Shudders* The fridge smells horrible right now, XDD

    Aw, Swirlll c: I feel the same way, honestly. It's really hard for me to make friends (I only have like 1 friend IRL). Especially at church, the teens there are pretty immature o.o When I was pretty upset about that, CoolCat was there for me. And I know now that some of my good friends are there for me too :) *Huggies*

    I didn't find it cheesey :D I thought it was vury sweet

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING
    HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY
    HAPPY CYBER MONDAY

    XD Aaaand I'm leaving for vacation on Monday! I shall stay in contact with y'all on blogs mostly, I won't be on Animal Jam too much, maybe in the mornings, and a little at night

    Anyways, adios! XD

    Remember, God made YOU!

      You as well Gracie!
      And XDD!

      Aw D: Same here- making friends is oddly difficult, in my opinion.
      But I'm really glad CoolCat, and the bloggers, were able to help you out!
      Online friends are truly awesome, hehe! *Huggies back* c:

      Aw- I'm glad! It's nice to know people who think like that- most everyone I know IRL would call it cheesy. But that's public school, I guess. ,:1

      HAPPY ALL-OF-THOSE-THINGS! XDD!

      Ooh, a vacation! Have lots of fun, hehe! Hopefully I'll still get to talk to you sometimes over it! :D

      Byeeee Gracieee!

    Awww, this post is just too sweet. <3

    I'm glad I was able to help you through that hard time with your friends and you drifting apart. Believe me, I know how that feels. I wish I had known the bloggers when me and my best friend drifted apart... But ya know, I think you guys did help me! When I started blogging, I was pretty much a loner who had her family as her friends and that's it. You guys have helped with break through that shell of shyness and helped me make a lot of friends at camp. <3

    Just wanted to throw that out there. ;)

    Love ya (in a FRIEND way, as you all know!) guys so much. <3

    And LOL! XD It didn't feel like Thanksgiving yesterday and yet... maybe it kinda did. ;)

      Aww, thanks Lost! ,:D

      I'm glad you were too- you're an amazing friend to have! :D
      Yay! I'm glad the bloggers helped you out, too!
      We all just seem to have helped each other without even knowing it, huh? XD!
      Ah, I love our group. XD!

      Right back at ya, Lost! ;D

      XDD! I know: it felt just like a normal day (but maybe that's because my family is coming over on Saturday, hehe), but I slightly felt like it was a special day in the back of my mind, XDDD!

      Aww, Swirl, you're one of the most amazing people I've ever met. <3
      I love our group so much too. XD We have each others backs which isn't always what friend groups do. ^-^

      ,:D <3

      Same! Thankkkkk you for describing that! XD It felt like a regular day since it wasn't Thanksgiving for me and yet, with everyone online talking about being thankful, it felt kinda special. ^.^

      Oh gosh, Thanksgiving felt so much like Sunday. I was just so so tired, and I'm always tired on Sunday from getting up early XD

      After dinner on Thanksgiving me and my mom watched tons of YouTube videos of this little girl o.O I had her voice in my mind after XDD Then there was something I said to my dad, and me and my mom both thought of the little girl, because she used the same word I did

      Yeahhh it probably did something to our brains, XDDD

      Sorry to jump in XDX

      Remember, God made YOU!

      @Lost

      Awww, thanks so much Lost! I have to say, I don't really think many of my IRL friends would say the same thing. It means a whole lot. ,:D
      Yeah, true! Bloggers are the best, XD!

      XDD, yeah!
      Next up, CHRISTMAS! WOOOOOO! XDD!



      @Gracie

      XDD!
      I'm tired while writing this comment, but maybe that's because I was rushing around with my kinda-overly-hyper cousin (he's my age, but still) all day, XD!

      Oh gosh, XD!
      And XD, my mom and I do stuff like that too sometimes!

      THANKSGIVING HAS ALTERED OUR BRAINS
      XDDD!

      You're fine Gracie!! :D

      Ahhh me can't handle overly hyper people

      I used to have a friend that seriously could not just not do nothing- she had to be doing something. XD

      XDDD

      Oki :D

    Happy (late) Thanksgiving too Swirl! :D

    I'm really glad that we were able to help you through that hard time with your friends! I probably only have 1 true friend IRL XD
    Ah same! IRL I'm mostly more of the listener, and shy so its kinda hard to make friends XD (All in real life of course, I bet some people wish I were a little more shy when on AJ or google hangouts XDDD) But ever sense I met you I have probably been a little less shy, everyone around my age at Church are.. somewhat immature,(there is a pair who literally almost only whisper each other and giggle, it makes me feel so awkward o,o XD)

    You're defiantly one of my best friends, we email each other, voicecall etc, I cannot wait to meet you IRL ;)

      :D

      Heh, yeah, I really only have one or two friends IRL that I feel close to anymore. :1
      XDD- no no, I love being crazy online with you! XDD!
      Yeah, same here! I think meeting you guys really helped me be braver and voice my opinion more often, hehe! I remember at first, I was mostly the person who kinda say back and said "XDD", and not much of anything else.
      Look at me now! Oooh boy, long comments and everything. XDDD!
      (That's... odd. O.O)

      Same here, Sarah! That'll be an amazing day, hehe!

      OH
      ALSO
      SARAHHHHHH

      HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

      I'm sorry I didn't wish you happy birthday sooner- I... uh... kinda thought it was still the 20th or something. Turns out, when I finally checked my computer, it was the 25th.
      So that's my fault, XD!

      Anyways, I'll try to get your art to you asap (although I DO have to go back to school [gross, school. XD] so it may take a bit longer)!
