Day 7
THEY'RE LIKE SWEET BABY HAMBURGERS. Uh, this holiday needs to be over. Or maybe go on forever. I can't decide. Fillings included vanilla, dulche de leche, and jam.
Today I lit candles* with The Technionians, the group of friends which I am on the outskirts of who are all Very Smart Engineers. This means that when I asked "So what are the chances that a dreidel will land on four different letters in four subsequent spins?" a) no one laughed at me, and b) it provided a whole minute of very enthusiastic conversation! Another cool thing is that they were all utter geeks who actually like singing the songs, which, like, is rare. I think. Even when I light candles at family gatherings, and the adults in my family are holiday song freaks, there are those who want to rush through it or skip to the food; in the few occasions I've lit them with friends, it's always been just a number of songs, small and awkward, because we are ~not in kindergarten anymore hello. Here, though, they actually wanted to go through every single song we could think of. Enthusiastically. Saving the canon one for last because it's so fun they have a tradition of singing it over and over again. I enjoy this pastime :D
I have no offerings today. Except, I guess a rec for this Kings vid by obsessive24.
hannah recced it to me, and I mentally shrugged it off because I haven't been in Kings fandom for a while and it's not nearly as interesting to me now that the canon is closed, but then I watched it and it's a gorgeous vid about Jack.
So, happy Day 7! And tomorrow morning I have a job interview bright and early. I... hope I wake up. *crosses fingers* *sets alarm*
