My Most Heartfelt ThanksFollow

I know not everyone celebrates turkey day (tho I did find out from Dralid Canadians get turkey too, wtf??). But it's getting to be that time of year where people tend to be more involved with loved ones.

Its also this same time last year that I started playing. You see, my brother got me hooked on this game. I started playing for him, so that we would have something to share. With him going away to college I felt as though we would still be able to bond and hang out through the game. And it worked, it was great. Our schedual didn't always coencide, but we would send tells all the time, just chatting. We joined the same ls, got to participate in various events, and even partied together. It was blast.

But recently he hasnt been on with the same regularity. He started enjoying campus life more. Which is fantastic. I dont begrudge him in the least for finding fun, new, exciting things to do while in college. That does not mean that I do not miss him in-game though. I got to thinking "well maybe I shouldnt play anymore either". I totally intended to get back into the game if/when he did.

But something kept me playing. At first I didn't know what. But earlier this week a new friend made me realise why I keep playing. The other people I've met though this great game. Through this game I've meet so many kind, interesting, and down right brillant people. While it's not the same as playing with my brother, I find the most fun from meeting and talking to friends, new and old.

So what was the point of this post? I have no idea. I just wanted to thank someone, anyone for sharing the fun that is Vanadiel with me. So..Thank You. Thanks to everyone that has ever made me chuckle. Thanks to everyone that has offered a kind word and a smile. Thank you, my friends, new, old, and those that I have yet to meet.

(sorry this dosnt make much sense, I'm a bit scatter brained right now, I was up far too late last night, gallivanting around with some silly little Mithra)

Thanksgiving isn't just an American holiday folks. Some of you I think forgot, the great USA has not ALWAYS been there. It was just a vast unexplored land that the native tribes called home. The name Canada is actually derived from kanata an indian word meaning village.

I love my American neighbours and am thankful that we are neighbours and friends. But sometimes I'm really surprised at the lack of knowledge you possess when it comes to your northern neighbours.

I don't mean to rant, sorry if it seems that way. I wish you all the best on Thanksgiving. Have a great holiday!!!

oh yeah and we celebrate, Christmas, Easter, New Years Day, Canada Day, Victoria Day, Labour Day, Hallowe'en, Boxing Day(not fight night people...yeesh), Superbowl, World Series, Stanley Cup, Beer drinking contests, dog sled racing (Iditarod), Remembrance Day, St. Jean Baptiste Day, Valentine's Day, Spring Break and the first day of summer.... cuz winter sucks ***.

Happy Thanksgiving! :)

Oh yeah and Sigmund! rate up for you!

Yeah, thanks to everyone in Bismarck you guys have made playing this game so much more interesting that it otherwise would have been ^^b

Yeah Omnis is very sarcastic thats all.

/ja "Cover" <Omniscient>

*Hugglez Sigmund*

Well, we're glad you're here and hope that as the days go by, you find the world more and more enjoyable, with new adventures and friends to meet along the way ^^ Happy Gobble Gobble Day to all!

lol To this day, unless they've died, there's a kindly elderly couple wandering around Florida who I firmly convinced that a majority of us Canadians *do* actually live in igloos. Explaining how we have central heating in an igloo took up the greater part of that conversation. :)

Cheers!

That IS terrible...but it did make me smile. Thanks everyone!

I live in an igloo.

My village is also not assessable by vehicle, only by boat. Oh, and we're all fisherman up here. And it snows year-round with an avg. temperature of -40 (celcius, not farenheit). :p. I actually had quite the convincing argument with a cross-border friend about this once ^^.

I love it here personally, I went to Texas a while back, and as much as i loved it there, there's something about the ocean where I live that brings me back. It's just not the same elsewhere. I think it's only a few americans who remain ignorant, but they are few and far between. i don't know if anyone remembers we had a show on TV here in which we had a canadian reporter go down to the states and interview a bunch of americans and inform them about different Canadian achievements, like how we just recently got running water (to name an example). Of course americans would congradulate us. That was some funny stuff.

Anyway, again i wish you all a happy thanksgiving and have lots of turkey, drink lots of beer (if your old enough of course) and watch lots of football and be thankful for the good things in life, like running water ^^ ;P

Depends on where you go, but most of the places I've been in this country seem (to me) to be filled with hoards of the ignorant.

Okay, so maybe I'm just an ***... >.>

lmfao... Rate up for giving me a chuckle.

Back when America was first beginning to talk about the possibility of invading Iraq, I told my mother that if we went to war in Iraq, expect there to be talk about moving on into such countries as Iran, Syria, and Damascus.

She looked at me strangely and said "Syria? Damascus? Where are those countries? I've never heard of them."

It's not so much complete lack of knowledge of the outside world as just a general lack of understanding what goes on there.

To her credit, she is aware of the attrocities going on in the Dafar region of Sudan nowadays.

I blame it on crappy news reportage.

I watched the election results on CBC. -_-

Boy I really hijacked this thread beyond all hope of redemtion.

Well don't I feel like a ******.

Meh, I never paid attention in Geography.

But for what it's worth, I was also right. Syria got mentioned as another possible threat a few days later.

So I think about the world at large, even if I ***** up the names and capitals of some.
