Freakshow3’s Neighborhood

As families gather for Thanksgiving, there's always a chance that political difference will come up during dinner. Do you think this will be an issue for you and your family this year?

The other day I realized that both my siblings are Republican. Normally we keep our mouths shut and I kinda expect that we'll continue to do so for Thanksgiving; we don't ever fight about politics. Dunno about my parents, though. XD

Thirteen years and fourteen studios later, Guns n' Roses' much-anticipated album, Chinese Democracy, was finally released last week. Are you going to buy it? Did you buy it already? And if so, what do you think?

Guns n' Roses, what kind of songs did they have?

What is different or new about your life this year that you're thankful for?

This year, compared to last year? Well, this year I know a little more about using Flash... and I have a lot more business cards with a correct email address... and my dad is slightly less prejudiced about Atlanta... and I'm a camo belt. Oh wait, the belt. That's definitely a big thing. And the weight loss...

What's your favorite Thanksgiving tradition?

We all sit down at dinner... at a huge table... and we eat what's on the table. Then afterwards the men go watch NASCAR or a football game while the women clean up the kitchen. Being the youngest adult in the family means I get to drive the youth herd around.

What "old fashioned" cultural behavior do you wish still existed in these modern times?

The one where you met someone face to face before considering them your boyfriend/girlfriend.

What one piece of advice would you like to give President-elect Barack Obama before he moves into the White House? 

Wash your hands before you touch anything. Might better bring in a priest or somebody to cleanse the place beforehand.

What was your major in college? Does your major apply to what you're doing in life now?

Animation, and kinda.

Twilight, the movie based on the young adult vampire/romance novel, is out in theaters. Are you planning on seeing it?

I'm not even planning on reading the stupid book, what does that tell you. XD

The future belongs to those who give the next generation reason for hope.
