Biographical

I live in a communal living space in Brooklyn with 16 or so peoples of various perspectives (still able to keep my own). I enjoy writing, telling stories, acting, carpentry, bartending, playing dumb and laughing a lot. I'm 26, from St. Louis, and have been in NY near 3 years now. Family is very important, but that doesn't mean "family" always exists in the traditional way. Family can also mean your good friends. It's more about having a strong support system of people you can trust implicitly. It's the people you feel safe with who provide a longstanding measure of love and acceptance that is equal to a family environment. I remember after I got caught stealing my dad's car and getting it stuck in a mud field, and reporting it stolen, and being 15, the police officer, who was my D.A.R.E. officer, told me "you are who your friends are" (so get new friends). I didn't. I'm very close to my "family", but my family is much bigger and I'm grateful every moment of my life for all of you. Your smiles are the inspiration to my every action. Since being in NY my family seems to have exploded with smiles. Maybe Officer Joe was right, I am you and you are me. Hey, I got the key's to this car. Wanna go for a ride?
