Since it’s almost Thanksgiving, I thought I’d just write a post about something I recently realized that I’ve been taking for granted over the years….! 

Along with my health, family, still having a job, etc. I am very thankful for the friends that I made in College. 

These were the people that I spent a lot of time with, drinking at the parties that we used to throw (after I was 21, of course).  And if there was one thing that I was not very good at during those days, it was holding my liquor.  

 ……actually, I’m still pretty bad at that.  (Damn you, Asian genes!) 

 
(I know, I know, I'm adorable...!)

Anyway, during those occasional drifts in and out of consciousness, they made the effort to look out for and take care of me.  And I don’t think a lot of other “friends” would have done that.  More often than not, things like this had a tendency to happen: 

So basically what I'm saying is "I’m thankful that my friends aren’t dicks," .......because a lot of guys have friends who are and they put up with it because.......that's just who their friends are. 

I guess it’s not that great of a thing to be thankful for, so lemme rephrase:  I’m really grateful for the people I became friends with in College and I just thought I would post this so they would know.

……..not that many of them read this, though. 

What's everyone else thankful for this year?? 

I sort of have an “Evil twin” who works in the department next to mine. (Marketing)

I say “sort of” because this guy – let’s call him “Spock” – is not really evil; and he’s not really my twin, either. 

We don’t really look alike;
We don’t really act  alike;
He’s also a little bit older (and a little more successful) than me, so it’s not really that difficult to tell us apart. 

He’s not even Asian….! 

But he’s short (5ft 7in) with dark hair (like me) and I guess our heads are shaped the same way...so if you’re looking at both of us from behind, it’s very hard to tell us apart…….

…….because he always manages to wear the same outfit as me. 

Every time I decide to wear my blue, long-sleeved shirt to work, he wears one that’s the exact same shade of blue. 

Same thing with my striped, white long-sleeve shirt – he manages to wear it the exact same day that I do – EVERY SINGLE TIME.    

I even went out and bought a few new shirts once, specifically to avoid this problem – didn’t help.  (Guess we both shop at Target) 

It’s uncanny…! 

Now this should be creepyenough in and of itself, but lately, people have been mistaking me for him. 

I’ve been tapped on the shoulder three times in the past week, only to hear “Sorry – I thought you were “Spock”.” 

Now I don’t really talk to the guy very much (there’s not too much interaction between my dept. and his) so I’m not really sure how to approach him about this.   “Hey – don’t shop at the same stores as me!” just seems rude, you know? 

Guess I’ll have to go clothes-shopping again – this time at Macys….!  (Although I hear Ross has some good deals!) 

Can you add to this list, Xanga? 
Who else might shop for Halloween stuff AFTER Halloween?
