I haven't been home for Thanksgiving since high school.

[bedlamsbard]

Well. It looks like I'll be able to make whatever the fuck I want for Thanskgiving dinner because I'm going to be the only one here. On the other hand, ticket prices dropped for that week from what they were the last time I looked, although it's probably still not low enough to (a) convince my mom to come to New Orleans or (b) convince my mom to let me come home.

I don't know, this will probably be good for me. I can get the experience of what it's like living on my own for a couple of days. Right now I'm just going, "Wow. That's really depressing."

It'll still probably be better than the time I basically just hibernated in my dorm room for four days; I literally did not leave the building (the dining hall closes over break and I was a freshman, I didn't know anything).

Weirdly my parents are also not going to be in town for Thanksgiving. First year that has happened. *boggles*

[highlyeccentric]

Aww, that sucks! I'd join you, but, er, oceans.

[bedlamsbard]

My parents have never made it into town for Thanksgiving, though every year I am hopeful. (I just really want to try a freaking turducken, which is not really something I can handle on my own. Or that anyone else wants to handle. *sighs*)

[bedlamsbard]

Damn the oceans! Well, at least I can cook whatever I like.

[scy]

I am agog realizing I can have whatever I like for Thanksgiving. Which may very well be waffles. IDEK.

*blinks incredulously*

[bedlamsbard]

I'm thinking I might try making these. And pumpkin pie. I'm a traditionalist. (Well. Sort of.)

Aliyah, Sid, unknown other grad students that Aliyah may invite, and I are having a pre-Thanksgiving handmade holiday luncheon, if you feel the urge to whip up something delish and eat with other people. It will probably be Wednesday of break week. (Aliyah's flying to Trinidad on Thursday for a wedding. Grr, 'spensive wedding!)

[bedlamsbard]

I will keep that in mind! I do make really awesome dinner rolls, if I say so myself.

(Oh! And an aside: do y'all still want Stitch 'n' Bitch Nation? Because I have it if you do.)

[harpers_child]

you want to tentatively plan to do something during your break? i'm an occupant of the land of unemployment so my schedule is wide open except for T-day itself.

[pinesandmaples]

Yes. Aliyah is on campus Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. She's also an irresponsible git.

[rooibos]

I'd like the book! You should bring it along to our pre-Thanksgiving thing!

[bedlamsbard]

Oh, yes, we should! I think the last day of class that week is Tuesday, so I'm free after noon that day and then on till Sunday.

[bedlamsbard]

I live on campus, so I'm here all the time, if you want it earlier than possible Thanksgiving.

[bedlamsbard]

Yay! I may or may not make the pre-Thanksgiving thing depending on how I feel about socializing and the phase of the moon and the alignment of the planets etc., but I am basically on campus all the time if you want it.
