  Happy Thanksgiving, Brooklyn

Happy Thanksgiving people!

This year, as always, a big dinner, the onset of holiday season financial drama, and my thanks, sent out into the universe that I'm blessed with a roof over my head, food in my kitchen and a life I don't hate. Thanksgiving in Brooklyn is different than the big Thanksgiving brouha that goes on at home, with the family in the kitchen fighting and loving and sharing the old holiday traditions. It's smaller, it's I don't have a real table so I'm spreading the food on the coffee table, it's more about loving myself then about a big showy affair with gorgeous place settings and impressive presentation.

I'll always do the big dinner, even just for me - I'm totally worth it. Here's to good food and another year of scrapping and shining.



The spread; mashed potatoes, stuffing, broccoli casserole, stuffed shells, tofurkey.

Awesome.

The basics... I'm 34, a feminist, lesbian, vegetarian, cat owning aspiring writer/director. After 27 years of fucking around telling myself my dreams weren't practical, seven years ago in a story that has now become legend in my life, I packed everything I owned and moved to Brooklyn to pursue life as a writer and theatre director. It's a very Madonna-esque tale ($800 cash to my name, nowhere to live, roaches, starvation and a crazy Turkish roommate) that I'm sure I'll be telling, but not now. For now, suffice it to say that this story, still in progress, has a happy ending. Or a happy middle, seeing as how I'm nowhere near being finished with anything. Life in Brooklyn is funny, scary, occasionally really hard, and everyday testing me as a person and a survivor. I think I'm passing. At least I wake up smiling every morning. The city is my lover, and like all truly great relationships, I love who I am when I am in it.
