כל נדרי
Todos los votos.
すべての誓い.
Все Клятвы.
All vows.

And thus starts twenty-five hours of fasting (nothing passes the lips but air during that period of time).  I might not be the most observant person in the world (I can already hear Carl saying something snide about me eating bacon ^^;;;;), but this I at least do.  I remember one year WORKING on Yom Kippur, which isn't really intelligent seeing as I worked at a grocery store.  By sundown even the Snausages were looking appealing, and that simply means that I'm an incredible pussy when it comes to this. :: laugh ::  And you know, there are people who have it much worse than I do and have to go without sustinence ROUTINELY, so at least I come away with SOMETHING, right?

... because I so don't buy the whole "experiencing the life of an angel" spiel I used to get fed as a kid.  Yeah, I don't see angels being so hungry they're ready to eat dog treats, thank you. ^^;;;;
