|| what i will be thankful for. ||

for thanksgiving, i want to go to harbor house late at night on wednesday and sit in front of empty peanut butter shake glasses and plates of cheese fries for hours, get in trouble for laughing too loud, and sneak outside to smoke cigarettes in the parking lot with sam; go to taco loco for blackened tofu mushroom burgers; visit julie's family and cry over how old her sister and brother have gotten; drink too much in costa mesa and find scarves and plaid skirts at savers with aline; drive to my dad's boat and film him fixing the engine on super 8; wake up late on thanksgiving morning and sit in my pajamas on the kitchen table to watch mom cook and dad sneak in to steal the spiced nuts; hunt for buried treasure in my childhood closet; steal some pictures of kelly and me from the photo albums; lie on the roof late at night with my cat laverne, pawing at moths and stars; drive up pacific coast highway in the fog finding my secret spot along the road; see michael's family and perhaps have his mum fix my hair and shop at lou's records; go to the silly brit-pop night at the dance club in l.a. with a whole gang of old friends, uncomfortable with the distances between us and how we've all grown, to dance the only way you can when in an unfamiliar spot surrounded by old friends on a crazy upside-down holiday weekend at home.
