i am fat but happy but fat

today was an interesting day on both the farm and on the twitter and i will tell you about both but not in that order.

oh and thank you for coming back and continuing to read my weblog.

on twitter today i saw a number of very pretty birds and they were so colorful and so pretty and one of the things they also all had in common is that they were much smaller than me. now of course i know that i am a turkey and i am a bigger bird but even i have been feeling lately that i have been getting a little, um, shall we say, portly around my entire body.

i am also very happy these days because i keep meeting new friends on twitter who tell me nice things and i enjoy having friends and i enjoy eating the two lunches the man and the woman give me and so what if maybe i am fat i am happy and that is what counts right/

but then even just as i think that thought and feel good about that thought i see another smaller bird and think that it would also be good to be a bit smaller and maybe it wouldn't take me so long to sneak into the farmhouse at night and i could be stealthy like a ninja which is another thing i learned about today. it would be easier to be a ninja if i was smaller and also i think it would be easier for others to call me pretty if i was smaller.

which brings me to my interesting day here on the farm. today i wandered out of my shack and my whole purpose was to start living my life of heroic virtue so i went every which way i could, this way and that way, looking for ways i could help improve the lives of the other animals here on the farm and i had three interactions that i think would show anyone who wanted to keep a score that i am living a heroically virtuous life right now.

the first is that i went over to the lamb who is often very shy and i told her how nice i think she looks today and you should have seen how happy that made her. i just thought that she looked nice and to give her a compliment out of the blue would be a nice thing because i think i would like to hear compliments out of the blue and you know what i was right. i did not stop there, i then said that her coat looked so nice and fluffy and soft and she must not have any trouble sleeping because she is already such a soft animal and she told me that sometimes she actually does have trouble sleeping and i said well she could always just try counting her family members and she laughed but i did not think she got the joke i was making.

see emma/ i can make a joke.

but i digress because after the lamb i went over to the attention horse who today i will call her by her real name and jasmine came up to me and said hello and i said thank you for the valentine and i didn't say this at the time but that meant a lot to me and i appreciated the gesture and she said you're welcome and that she hoped i was doing okay in my shack because the animals have not seen me a lot and i did not say this out loud but i know it is because i have been on twitter with my other friends but i really should be making more of an effort around the farmyard. what i did say is that i have been tired lately but i am feeling better now thank you for asking.

i went back to my shack and as i passed by the chickens i could hear them gossiping about jasmine and me and saying how they hope that jasmine will start talking to them as much as me and why would a horse even bother with a fat turkey like myself and i will tell you that my third interaction of heroic virtue today was not going over to them and kicking them and instead i ignored them and went back to my shack and waited for my second lunch.

i enjoyed my second lunch today and i enjoyed my dinner and after dinner i quietly looked through twitter but did not heart as many pictures of pretty birds because a heart i think is something you have to be feeling in the moment and tonight for some reason i was not feeling those feelings one hundred percent.
