I don't think Rosh Hashanah is supposed to be this much fun
So first off- this year's Rosh Hashanah service was the most fun ever- I have never had to suppress so much laughter in place of holy worship. And it is all completely and totally T and Jake's faults. Just looking at them cracks me up. They so mischievous, and devilish, and devious- and at times it seems that the pinnacle goal of their rascally schemes is to make me laugh out loud in the middle of services.
Two things that were funny that I forgot to mention last night-
1.) They fully snuck into the building's fridge and ate, like 6 popsicles.
2.) I guess they come up with theme for every Yom Kippur (next Jewish holiday coming up)- I didn't know this until yesterday. So in 2001, it was "NFL 2K1", in 2002 it was "Everywhere" by Michelle Branch, in 2003 it was "YMCA" by the Village People, and in 2004 it is decided thhe Yom Kippur theme song will be "Tainted Love,"by Soft Cell. I hate webspeak, but all I can say is laughing out loud, laughing out loud.
Today on the way to services i was laughing so hard I swear I was going to burst into pieces. The one thing I really remember is them talking about Jake running for middleschool president (I somehow got cornered into filming the speeches for their TV Show as T will be in school. T is writing Jake's speech, which will be, apparently be "...all about the free vending machines." The best part is his slogan "Rock the Fro." I was dying.
Services were fun- bopped side to side like along to prayers, just for T, I dah-venned (when everyone reads at same time with different melody) to "Eye of the Tiger," but I don't think he knew. Well-does now. They marched to the V'hafta (another prayer). I took off my heels for a while- b/c they really were killing me, and theyh took off their shoes too, all the while grinning knowingly. During the part in the service where they read the Torah portion, and you have to go up and do the blessing over the portion if the intention applies to you, was amusing as well. For the "Something Foolish You Did" blessing, T went up on because of the things he said on lj about everyone's favorite ingenue, Jake went up for going out with Natalie- and I- went up for a lot of reasons. Me and mom had to stay down for the " Time you stopped yourself from doing something foolish blessing." Not ashamed- am human. Saw lots of favorite little girls- who I tend to get along with better than people my own age, including Balzhana, blond curly twins Rose and Sophie, and tons more. So all in all was really fun service- I mean- like completely inappropriately, but fun nonetheless.
Here comes the stormclouds- when went to do Tashlicht at the beach ( I can not spell Jewish words) (But it's where you throw bread in the ocean and it's like getting rid of your sins and starting theh new year of spantacularly) saw dreaded ex boyfriend Stephen Israel who goes to UCSB. Every time I seem him I feel like I'm just some stupid gullible sophomore over again. i don't know where my self respect was that year. I mean- my gosh- he is so sleazy. I got Balzhana to be my shield, and just played with her for an hour and a half until he went away. I really can't stand him- but even worse then that is the feeling that that's what college is going to be like, a whole bunch of guys looking to use romantic, gullible, stupid girls like me for sex, and then throw them out when done. I really, really hope it's not what it'll be like- but nevertheless, it is a huge fear of mine. Anyway- I avoided talking to him- but my goodness- he is such a slick, sleazy bastard.
Thank you everyone for being so sweet- uc party this weekend for sure- and am seriously considering having a going away party a week from tonight ( I leave the next afternoon) Think that's a good idea? It'll be a fun dance party- lot's of bad rap and 80's pop, if it happens.
I can't even think about going away now, so ah''ll jist have to think about it tah-marr-ahh. Alright- not thinking about moving out right now. otherwise- am sure the bottom of my stomach will fall out. home will be so missed.
love,
kit
