thankgiving 2008: adventures in censorship
in times of war, it's the custom to censor the letters from soldiers to their loved ones to assure sensitive information isn't revealed to the enemy. i don't know how long this has been in place but here's an example of a highly censored letter from 1917...
history!
now, i'm not saying i'm in a war zone.
but if i were to write the traditional, family thanksgiving dialogue, i would have to censor out a lot to avoid getting phone calls from said traditional family.
so i'm taking the safest road possible...
happy thanksgiving!

I'm so glad that we are clever enough to meet in person at a secure dinner spot so that we can talk about the uncensored version of the stories, because I feel like we are in this war together. And the enemy is winning.
X attempted to order diet coke at vegetarian organic restaurant.
X ate much soy.

I also ridiculed my sister over Thanksgiving break for reading Twilight. She claims that as a school teacher she has to keep up with what the kids are into but I know it's just a cover-up. Personally, when it comes to cheesy vampire romance I'll just stick to this.
Detailed, unedited description of what happened at Kathryn's family Thanksgiving dinner = good.
Please and thank you.
