Give thanks, people!

♠ ♠ ♠ GRATITUDE MEME!♠ ♠ ♠

To the players and characters in or from the United States, happy Thanksgiving! To everyone else, that'll be why many of us are unusually quiet tomorrow. But before we go off to be harassed by relatives, let us participate in an exercise in the power of positive thinking! Before you run, though, it's not as scary as it sounds.

1) Hey characters, you're thankful for something, right?
2) No, don't give me that crap about how everything's horrible and you want everyone to screw themselves. Come on. There's SOMETHING, even if it's as simple as 'I'm thankful that that jerk over there is more miserable than me' or 'I'm thankful that torture exists'. Post!
3) Write your thanks in that post. Even if you don't want to admit that some of these people are sometimes tolerable, you're damn well going to. It's standard meme ~magic~.
4) Respond to others' lists and be merry, thankful, and giving! Or...maybe you could just be slightly less cruel than usual. That works too.
5) Mind the turkey, it was prepared in the back room. It might not be so innocent!

There's a lot to be thankful of, but I'll try to condense it as best as I can.

-I'm glad for the time I had with Sokka, Mai and Zuko. Even though it wasn't as long as I liked, they still mean a lot to me, and even though they're repodded right now, I know I'll see them again.

-All the friends I've had here that helped me when my brother disappeared, and even before that. There are a lot of people there, so many that I know I won't be able to get them all, but believe me, you were all helpful.

But to specify:

-Billy and Renne- My Bonded. You guys have been here for me and mean a lot to me. You give me your strength in your own special ways, and have helped me in a lot of ways to grow on this ship. I'm forever grateful.

-Nura- I'm sorry we haven't been able o hang out, and I'm even more sorry that I didn't get to help you when you were in the bay. I hope you recover soon. Get well soon sister.

-To all of the Outsiders (Starfire/Beastboy/Alex/Tavros/Laura/Vita/- I'm going to do my best to learn from and help all of you guys. I know we haven't gotten to do as much as we would have liked, but I hope we can get down to business soon.

-I'm thankful for all of the training I've been given, from my waterbending to my Bene Gesserit beginner training to my sword training. All of my teachers did their best, and I'm grateful they took the time out for me.

-I'm thankful for all of you on the ship, for making things bearable.
