HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
To them that do not celebrate Thanksgiving, happy Random Thursday.
Connecticut is fabulous, if cold, and I am surrounded by not only some of the coolest people on Earth, but so many critters. Three cats, a dog, a leopard gecko, a very ugly fish, some very pretty fish, a bird, and crickets.
Did I mention how cool these people are?
Well, consider it mentioned.
And since Thanksgiving is a day for giving thanks, here it is
1. Thank you to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tptigger for betas, and idea bouncing, and being a great fic writer, and a co-conspirator, and enthusiastic and an all around great friend who is patient with my fic anxieties and manias. Thanks for not being afraid to post your fic, 'cause I love it. Thanks for being Tigger, actually.
2. Thank you todenoue_moi for offsetting my overwhelming spazziness with her cool. For being honest. For never being boring. For being generous and thoughtful when others would've turned back, and for not giving up on me even when I sort of didn't deserve any second chances. For cards and emails and trying to get through my very terrible novel and all the things she does for the people around her. Even if they never say thank you, let me say it now. Thank you.
3. Thank you toladyslvr for being someone I've always looked up to and for also not giving up on me in one of my not-most-shining-moments, for TPFICT/TPDIS, which pretty much saved my life, for all the things I've learned from her.
4. Thank you tojennixen for being there, for being supportive through squee and shadow, through thick and thin. Thank you for listening when I needed that, and letting me know that I am never, ever, ever alone. Thank you for teaching me Swedish words and loving dogs as much as I do and being who you are.
5. Thank you towisdomeagle for being my coming-out hero, and for giving me a reason to believe that faith can work out, for being so open about herself that I could be open about myself, for constant crack-partnering, for some of the best fic ever written, for being so much fun and meaning so much to me. For gleeposts. For everything and always.
6. Thank you tovicki7778999 for reading my novel and giving me such great feedback and for spreading the glee!
7. Thank you tofikgirl for being creative, for keepin' on keepin' on.
8. Thank you toexiledtimelord for a host of things, starting in the way back when - like keeping me propped up when I wanted to fall down and give up. For being there when it was a big lonely landscape. For continuing to make me discover great things (like Dr. Who) and for being a smarter, snarkier, better person than I think he gives himself credit for.
9. Thank you toarpiana for wow, also a lot of things starting in the way back. Like comraderie and a reason not to be afraid and that mix tape that I still, to this day, want played at my funeral so people will know who I was. For an email thread that went on for damn near ever (remember Re: Weirdness) and for being an absolutely amazing person who will not, in 1000 years, be replicated again on this Earth.
10. Thank you tolatimer84 for unmitigated cool, for being absolutely hi-larious, and for well...being yourself. Thank you, because when I see you being open about yourself, it makes it easier for me.
11. Thank you toflukeskywalker for being hilarious, for loving the glee posts, and for all the reasons I can't watch Star Wars with a straight face because now, Darth Vader is really saying "I find your lack of pants disturbing" and "You don't know the power of the pants".
12. Thank you togovindaduck for years of snark and sass and smartness that I treasure to this day.
13. Thank you tocelticcowboy68 for every single laugh. Rock on, buddy, rock on.
I, Meg Freeman, am thankful for the following
- for being healthy
- for being happy
- for all the talents I possess
- for all the faults that keep me trying
- for the friends I have
- for the family I have
- yeah, even the ones that I'm not so fond of
- for turkey
- for pie
- for pie x 1000000000
- for dogs and cats and critters of all kinds
- for a boyfriend who apparently likes that I'm insane
- for the friends who also, apparently, like that.
- for books
- for my favorite TV shows and such
- for the fact that I'm financially okay despite not having a job
- for the fact that everyday is a new chance to get a job
- for being a writer
- for dogs. All dogs. Everywhere.
- for living in a (mostly) free country
- for my boyfriend's people who are so cool
- for Thanksgiving
- for naps
- for the internet
- for boys
- for girls
- for everything in between
- for having people around me who inspire me to be open about myself
- for being bisexual
- for life.

But I thank you for the kind words, and also want to thank you for being one of the best things to ever happen to me. I owe you more than I could ever repay.
