Turkey Day!

The night before we all met up at our favorite sushi place, Goemon. They're really close with the sushi man and we get faded off his jalapeño champagne that he calls his "pussy juice". he has all these drinks that he makes and then tapes naked ladies on the back of the bottle and we all hoot and holler and he does his toothless laugh. The backyard had a little koi pond where you can smoke and we all sat out there asking each other what the each others favorite dance move was and to demonstrate the dance you do when you're ecstatic.
My first thanksgiving on my own was a success! Sonya and I rearranged our house to have the festivities here with her coworkers and siblings. Everyone had their assigned food, I made cranberry sauce. I would have opted to just buy 10 of the jello canned ones, da  best ones, but that'd be a cop out and making the real stuff was surprisingly easy: berries, juice, sugah, ZEST. I also attempted carmel corn 3 TIMES! i never make the kernel kind and it kept burning. Sonya Stewart comes over like Alton Brown and explains that you put one lone kernel,wait for the pop and then you pour em all in. AHMAZING!

My family had a broken thanksgiving on Tuesday since were all around the states. Mitchell and brandon joked about suicide at the table on account of the Rhoades sisters absence and that made me smile. Then i get a text from Mitch saying "heard about tony, I'm really sorry. I was listening to Enya at the time. "..... What?
On the morning of I woke up, watched the parade and called family. Mom was in New York AT the parade, sis was in Oregon flying back to Pheonix for a game. and dad was at home doing nothing except forgetting to tell me MY CAT WAS FUCKING DEAD. I'm 22. I understand that you don't need to give me the fluffed up "he went to kitty heaven meow meow" story, but i would have MUCH preferred that compared to the gory facts that are burned in my head now.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED ( be weary):
Tony was sitting on the bathroom sink watching my friends dad take a piss and he started contorting and spasming, hacking up blood and then fell off the counter. yup fucking great.

After everyone showed we decided to take a walk in golden gate park for some soccer with some volleyball on the side. When we got back we had enough time to drink about 3 more glasses of mulled wine and 2 mojitos and 1 trip to the roof before the turkey was cooked. Everyone sat around the table like scavengers, just picking at green fans at ripping at loaves of bread until the grand unveil.

As we sat we all went around and said what we were most thankful for. Family, friends, alcohol and opposable thumbs were the top rated answers. A meal that took 6+ hours was finished by 15 in 10 minutes. The boys had played triscuit and then scattergories! things like "ildos,d" for a toy that starts with I and fighting over if dingleberries are actually "sticky" or if they're just stuck. no round was complete without a poop joke. After some apple pie and coffee (and much more mulled wine)
