Post Secret & lovin la vida loca (god, did i just type that?)

Do you read Post Secret? Well, I do. Every Sunday I tune in to see what people submit as their secrets... I love it. I think it's fascinating what they choose to admit and how they present it.

Today I found one that read:

"My creative gifts are worth the mental illness I've suffered for them"

And I couldn't agree more. I have some trouble with reality sometimes... but there's no question I'd have this brain/heart again.

A very NY experience.

Tonight I'm going to a friend's book opening party at a bookstore in Carroll Gardens. I am psyched to see her photography and the book and maybe get some free wine...?

I am BROKE. I don't even have quarters. I had to spend my paycheck on averting a small financial disaster and now have no money whatsoever. It will all work out in the end (hopefully) but for the moment I am... how you say? Cash poor.

I will meet friends at this opening and have a wonderful time, I'm sure, congratulating my friend and looking around at the Brooklyn Literary Elite and then come home to my lovely condo and eat cereal.

I have both lean and lush times in my life and I'm sure this will continue - but tonight is an oh-so NYC experience. Maybe someday I will not only live here, but flourish financially... THAT would be a coup.
