Life continues on.
I went to a wedding this weekend. And its interesting how inportant
seminal moments in other people's lives can force you to take stock of
things that are going on in your own. Sara, the bride, is like my big
sister, although she isnt, and this weekend I found out she is
actually a total pot head. Not that there is anything wrong with that,
just shocking. I asked my parents if they would come to my wedding if
I married a non jewish girl, my mom said no, my dad said yes, she said
she would divorce him if he came. Im not even sure what I should say
to that. The wedding was gorgeous, a blending of catholic and jewish
rituals in a nicely secular setting. On the way home my mother used
the word secular to describe the wedding, used it like a dirty word. I
love my mother, but she can make me nuts.
Most of all weddings make you take stock of those people who really
care about you in your life, in both a friendship and relasionship
context. I miss my friends from college, quite a bit, which is why I'm excited to be seeing people over the next few weeks. In terms of relationships, well beat the hell out of me. Iwent to go see Caroline last weekend. The one thing we could agree on the way into the weekned was that our... whatever it is... was in need of closure and clarification. In many ways it seems like the only thing we didnt get, but hey.
Seriously, I'll be everywhere from Boston to DC, if you want to hang out please let me know.
Above all these days I'm thinking about the future. It seems like
everything is going to be defined by my job situation over the next
month. If i get hired, where, doing what, and getting paid how much.
So I wait, and I am apprehensive.
In the mean time I'm doing fun things to take my mind off the numbness
of waiting, life is enjoyable when I'm doing nothing but concentrating on having fun.
Hope all is well with everyone out in cyberspace.
