Well, since thanksgiving is coming up, I thought I'd add that. And I'd like to say thank you to anyone who has ever sent me anything, ever. Packages, letters, cards, chocolate (mish, thank you, that helped Freshman year like no other) and all sorts of things.

Today, someone I beta for on FF (amazing author for SPN and Boondock Saints, apparently, if you're interested I can link you), has become an amazing friend to me over the past couple years, even helping me out in my adventures at college. She started sending me care packages last year, in light of the fact I was incredibly lonely and pathetic. While things have been getting better, this semester has been shit. Excuse my language, it has been fucking shit. As you can see in the last journal entry. It has been a series of stupid events like that one, including my somehow having an inability to get to classes, or any willpower thereof. But, she has sent me 3 care packages, one for finals last year, and this one arrived when I was particularly frustrated with life (today)
aaand, because I need a list for when I write my thank you letter....
I was looking for chapstick after I ran out last night, and in my care packages
I found...
a set of four. And lemme tell you, they're nice. My lips don't burn anymore. :} Thank you so much. Some somewhat dubious packaged soup "tofu miso" I've never had it, but I'm excited all the same, not to mention a whole bunch of lipton singles so that I can make one cup. Mom sends me the stuff you use for an entire pot. I don't have any pots. Sooo cooking it is a bitch. But, three packets of Miso. And countless packets of chicken noodle. And guess what she sent?
A soup bowl.
Labelled "Soup" on both sides.
I am so excited to make food in that thing. You have no idea.
She also sends me cute things that just brighten my day like no other.
Such as some brilliantly bright pencils. Just good old pencils like from when we were in grade school, but some are glittery, some have swirls and other patterns. I'm thrilled. :} Gives note taking a lot more fun.
A tin of something I've never had before : chai latte. Spice Chai latte. Btw. :} I can make it myself and put it in my awesome starbucks thermos mug thing whatever they are.
Play doh. Yes, play doh. WOO. I can be FIVE again. I haven't had play doh since my brother was born and the little monkey ate the homemade crap mom gave us to play with. Idiot child.
What I'm assuming is a glow stick, but I have no clue, I'll find out at night, and then a copy of the Boondock Saints. I've never seen it. I hear you either love or hate it. I'm prepared to love it, even if I just really love that someone cared enough to send me a movie. :} It's unrated and it's got a metal tin with a celtic cross like mine on the cover, so I'm pleased regardless.
And you guys will NEVER believe this:
scented pencils. Made from recycled materials. I have bubble gum and cotton candy. I have no idea what cotton candy tastes like, but it smells kinda like how I'd imagine it would. MINI OREOS. (probably now powder, but YUM)and candy. I will not list the candy, iti s clearly halloween candy, and somehow candy I love. Without us ever having spoken of what kind of candy I like. So she is made of win.

Then just as I was complaining about not having an organisational system... I find a notebook, and a folder thing. It's got 8 pockets for holding notes. That's all it is, is a notebook of folders. :} I no longer need worry. And it's amazingly cute. I like cute things. Sure, I love Batman, but y'know, even Batman has a little flair inside him, ever seen the yellow belt? Or the yellow outlined Bat symbol? Yeah, screw you guys, even Batman needs a little bright colouring and fun in his life. (I'm Batman!)

But that just goes to show that you can make a huge different to a college student with leftover halloween candy, and potentially dollar bin items. :} lol. I'm sure she worked really hard putting this all together, and none of it looks like it could come from a dollar bin. At all. But dude, even if it all did? I'd still be so damn thankful to have someone thinking of things I might need or want to make me feel really comforted when I've been having a horrible time. So, thank you. :} Thanks to anyone anywhere who has ever done something remotely like this for me. Even thanks to Evil Grandma, who sends me money.
