Linus- You know I have jewish envy! Must you rub it in??? MUST YOU?

Jamelah- I think confessing to things that you didn't do or think or whatever manner of sin they might be is actually brilliant, as it creates a sin debit system. So you confessed to a sin that wasn't yours, thereby affording yourself a "sin credit" so to speak, and allowing yourself to sin it up as you wish and not have

Funny, religion is a big topic around my friends lately...
I went to Catholic school (being of sort-of-Irish-Catholic-stock but also other-Catholic stock) and LOVED the little bit in 4th grade where we talked about the other religions. I actually decided I wanted to convert to Judaism, I forget why, but then a few years later, I also decided I wanted to be the religion described in the

Dear Lover and a Fighter,
I must say I laughed harder today than I have in the past three weeks. It was a delight. Thanks for that. You are really truly very funny.

When I was going to Catholic school (so, 2nd grade), I for some reason was explaining that my dad was a Muslim and someone thought I said I was Muslim and because I wasn't Catholic and I wanted to be exotic and different (especially because I was a little envious of the Catholic girls since this was the year they got

2008-01-28T10:16:17.275-06:00

See, if it had been me? There would have been a long silence, and then I would have suddenly popped up and said "Oh! Wait a minute! I am. Of course, Jewish. That's that thing we did in Sunday School. Duh."

We used to have Christians in on the high holy days sometimes so they could see a synagogue in action (I went to Sunday School at the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue, an extremely

Lengli- Let's hamotzi together! And my mom is pretty great. Oh, were you the one who asked if my blog is named after strangers with candy? Because yes it is. So hard.

Curly- I needed you in grade school! And your teacher is a big weirdo.

Mindy- let's talk numbers

Meggles- Yes.

Jewzer- You probably just look confused.

Hi.

I found you through Peter (he actually GUSHED about you) and I think I'm in love. Seriously. You have to be the funniest female blogger out there. I totally want to marry you.

You will definitely be seeing more of me (but not in a stalkerish kind of way).

2008-01-27T10:24:46.000-06:00

I love that. In my line of "work" I attend religious ceremonies outside my faith tradition with some regularity. And whenever I have to go to Jewish things, the fact that I look Jewish helps me blend, until it's time to sing which is always a beat late and a sheqel short... Or when I accidently genuflect.

Can I please be you for the day? Please?

"hatched from large eggs freckled with shamrocks and Jameson bottles..." BAH! I thought all Irish babies were born that way. I know mine were.

We need to set up a mom date (lucky they're both in the midwest) - my mom will bring the Tibetan prayer bowl, Native American smudge sticks, her rainstick and dream catchers, her eagle and hawk feathers, her very own book of mormon and (just

The thing is, I can see you doing this now at age 26. And I would give money to do so.

2008-01-25T17:22:41.594-06:00

So something like this happened to me in 1st grade. Somehow it got back to my teacher that I was half Jewish, so when we started learning about other people's cultures and religions in class, she made stand up along with the rest of the Jewish kids and say something that was "fun" about our religion. Me, having always celebrated Christmas and Easter, and being the brightest kid in Sunday school (

2008-01-25T17:15:48.665-06:00

I think I actually heard your version of the hamotzi before dinner at my neighbor's house - clearly you are a trendsetter!

By the way, your mother sounds like quite the awesome lady!

LosingIt- You are too kind. I am glad it is funny now, as it was really embarrassing at the time. Oh my goodness terrible.

Peter- you'd like my brother. he is really the funniest kid. he is still grateful for farts to this day, too.

TLM- thanks. I think YOU are fabulous.

You. Fucking. RULE! That was THE BEST. :) I've said it before, but I have GOT to stop reading your posts when I'm at work. I was laughing so hard I had tears spilling down my face and PR ain't that funny. ;)

Your entry reminded me of the time a friend was playing the piano for our first-grade class and, jealous, I told the teacher I could play the piano too. (LIIIIIIIE.) I got to the

de-lurking to say that was hilarious. My personal favorite is your Passive Agressive Prayer.

You are all sorts of hi-larious. And I love it.
