Holidays inspired by pasta, being thankful, and other shenanigans

So I’m totally jacking this idea from my friends [admittedly superior] blog, but Easter isn’t the only major holiday that falls on today. Pastover has a home here as well. Pastover is a mock holiday invented by a man named Bobby Henderson. Henderson protested the teaching of intelligent design in a Kansas school by creating arguably the most elaborate and just downright hilarious instances of irreligion, like, ever. Pastover is his variation on Easter and Passover. On this day, Pastafarians are encouraged to eat unholy amounts of pasta, pass an eye-patch around, and say what they are thankful for. Me and my friend Brittany have already done this with each other, but I felt like sharing with the rest of the world. So, here goes;

- Being part of a very tightly knit, if disorganized circle of friends.
- The nice weather we’ve been having lately (I call it “perfect sunroof weather” :p)
- Having good friends who actually appreciate me.
- My older sister being home from college.
- Slowly but surely cracking down on all the prom-related expenses and preparations.
- Becoming a more confident individual over the years.
- Getting accepted into Millersville.
- The prospects of graduation being only 2 months away.
- Good grades.
- Having my driver’s license for about half a year and not having gotten into any serious troubles, if any at all.
- Getting substantially less awful at playing the guitar.
- Having enough free time to actually be able to read a book for funsies.

Do I wish some things in my life were different? Yeah. But it feels like for every one aspect of my life I’d like to change, there are three better ones that I’m ashamed to admit I take for granted. Who doesn’t have those? But I’m totally feeling a change of pace is underway. Hopefully for the better.

RAmen.
