I'm thankful that I don't live in America, so I don't have to celebrate Thanksgiving...
Only joking... I'm thankful for... Well, to be honest, now isn't the best time to ask, since I'm on a bit of a downer at the moment, and have been for a couple of months. Several of my friends went away to University at the end of the summer, so I don't get to see them often, and those that remained don't seem to be able to go out much any more, what with either having jobs or just generally being busy. My friends Ali and Dave just split up the other day, and I just found out today that Jill, who runs my group in Youth Theatre Yorkshire, had been forced to hand in her resignation, for complicated reasons, having led the group for 12 years now...
In the longer term, my parents split up before I can remember, and my Dad's an unemployed drunk who still [probably] lives back in Keighley. I'm not sure, since I haven't seen him for nearly a year.
The Two-Party System in our country has two parties that have very little to tell between them. The piece of legislation that most affects me is that the Student Grant has been abolished, which means I may not be able to go to University. The Government clearly does not want poor people to go on to Further Education. And this is one of the
good governments... There are still countries in the world that still have Dictatorships or Oligarchies. Many countries also have rife Poverty, and even our own country has rising unemployment and homelessness...
Sorry about that. Maybe it's a good thing we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in this country...
You'd better ask me again when I'm in a better mood...
