Happy Gorging Day!

It's the anniversary of the "day of Thanks". The day where we give thanks by killing millions of turkeys and gorging on them as well as other food items like cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy, bicuits, and pumpkin pie. I can certainly see the thanks! :) And I CAN say something about this. haha.. I'm a vegetarian! Well, mostly. I try, unless I go out with my friends which isn't all that much so yes. I CAN talk about it. :) lol... no offense to you guys who DO eat meat everyday for, in my house, I'm the meat-eater for I still crave a bit of fish now and then - but hey! It's not turkey!

Seriously though, does gorging yourselves full of calories and cholesterol sound like the epitome of the word "thanks"? Not to mention the fact that over MY Thanksgiving Break, my teachers decided to load us up with about ten truckfuls of homework! It shouldn't even be called a break! In fact, if school was in this week, I'd probably be doing less work since they seem to like giving us the most work over our "holidays". In fact, one of my teachers told us we should be thanking her for our homework. *rolls eyes* That evil smile plastered all over her face told us all we needed to know: she planned to give us our Christmas presents early. Cruel and unusual punishment. Isn't that unconstitutional?

:) Anyways, the main part about today is that I found and listened to a Thanksgiving Greeting card on MSN and it totally rocks! It's sung to the song "I Will Survive" and the singer in the greeting card was a female turkey. :) The lyrics are below! Enjoy!

"I Will Survive"

By a Distraught Turkey

At first I was an egg, I was petrified,
Kept thinking I’d be lost or I’d get cracked and fried,
But you took me to your nest before it was too late
And kept me warm, and you helped me incubate…
And now you’re back, think you’re the boss,
Wanna put me on the plate
Next to your wife’s cranberry sauce.
I should have known this day would come,
I Should have known not to relax,
If I thought for just one second
You’d come in here with that ax.
Go on now go
Walk out the door -
Just turn around now
Ain’t choppin’ my head to the floor.
Werent you the one
Who prized the dark meat on my thighs?
Did ya think I’d gobble?
Did ya think I’d lay down and die?
Oh no not I.
I will survive.
Oh as long as I know how to peck
I know I’ll stay alive.
Got my wings so I won’t fall
Ain’t sellin’ me to Butterball!
I will survive!
I will survive!
Hey hey…
