Thanksgiving

Yes, today was Thanksgiving. New experiences: Deviled Eggs (better than they sound), finally winning at Rummicub (like Gin Rummy, only with tiles. It's a family tradition), and having my braces licked by Grandma's new puppy. I cooked a Turkey for the first time...not as fun as it sounds, but highly amusing if you are clumsy. The scariest part of the day was when the fuse to our kitchen blew halfway through the preparations, with a hungry mob crying for food. Other than that, it was very enjoyable...

The Anguish of Being Ordinary...maybe.

Brian:
For the first time in my life, I'm bad at something. And it's ENGLISH, for Pete's sake! For some reason, I've always been portrayed as this great writer with stunningly amazing analysis skills and witty repertoire. What happened? Why do I suddenly suck?

I want to blame Mr. Aase. I want to say that it's his fault, but really, I know it's not. Have I lost my drive? my talent? my muse? Am I so preoccupied with you, I no longer live up to my full potential.

Was I even talented in the first place? Was it all just a hype? Am I hiding behind a facade of intelligence? What of I'm really . . . ORDINARY?!?!?!
