a tzimmes jew // 2003-01-09

from beliefnet, a quiz to gauge your jewish identity. my profile:

You are a Tzimmes Jew
Like this Sabbath-evening fruit and sweet-potato side dish, your Jewish identity is highly traditional, even as it adapts with changing times. A basic recipe is supplemented with various individualistic flourishes. Judaism plays an integral role in your life, though your identity is not defined solely by it.

... and i'm not even jewish.

c and i discovered last night that we both always wanted to be jewish. sure, it's completely superficial (woody allen is sexy, i want to name my first son ira, kosher marshmallows) but somehow i can't help but think that i got shortchanged in the religion department. i'd convert, but, well, it just wouldn't be the same.

to all those who watched the premiere of the bachelorette last night: write a letter to abc letting them know how much you love rob, the cutie programmer from biloxi. wouldn't you like to see more guys like him, and not these slick, boring tools? it's going to be a heartbreaking day when he's not given a rose (which, sadly, is inevitable).
