startrek_diaryHey, Americans and Americants.
Since we're totally all Septic Yankee Scum around here (and the HSAU is winding down for the time being) I was thinking:
American Thanksgiving. An excuse to watch American Football, eat way too much food, and pretend you don't hate your family. (Unless you like your family. Then you're a communist.)
In the rebootverse, where the Federation is basically AMERICA.. BUT BETTER! I would like to posit that Thanksgiving is the memorial day for those who died in the Battle of Vulcan.
So. The Enterprise is in orbit around Earth. The crew is down on the planet. It has now been 1 year since the fight with the Romulans.
What is everyone thankful for? Who are they with? And was turkey really inwented in Russia?

I'm skipping out. And don't try and lecture me about it.

Don't want to think about Charlie?
Me neither.
It's fucking Thanksgiving. My mom is cooking, and she lives in SF. Want to come with?

I don't want to think about any of it. I didn't even do anything, it'd be fucking hypocritical to go and stand with the crew as if I did.
If she won't mind the extra, yeah, I'd like that.

I was there, I did things and I don't want anyone telling me what a big damn hero I am. It should be about everyone else, the people who aren't here. But it's just going to turn into the JAMES T KIRK SHOW starring James T Kirk with special guest James T Kirk. These things always do.
Mind? I have roughly 324 cousins. She won't notice.

Everything does lately. Starfleet is parading him like crazy and it's annoying as hell. And he just eats it up and plays golden boy.
Alright then, count me in.

Joey, Mother wants to know if you'll be joining us for Thanksgiving or if you'll be visiting your own family.

It's like they forgot about what he was like at the Academy, that he stowed away, basically mutinied against Spock and was a dick in three languages all because he saved the world. Single handedly. No one else did any damn thing.
Don't get me wrong, I think he's a good captain, but I wish he wasn't so BELOVED. Like a pet dog.
Good. I'd invite Pavel, but I think he's tell my mother how her pumpkin pie needs wodka or something.

It is one year since mother died.
I wish it had been me and not her.

No, we're not. We lost too many friends when Vulcan was destroyed and none of us want to go around a whole bunch of people right now. So we're just going to have our own ceremny at the vineyard to honor their memories.

Non, I am not in the mood to watch CAPTAIN James Kirk pretend he didn't profit from this entire thing. The man is a horrible liar.
