Oh my Lord, someone's actually reading this. Wow. I really never thought this would happen. I'm so excited--such naches!
I live in Yerushalyim, spiritual center of my people (although I'm fairly convinced that my personal spiritual center is Target), where I'm studying to be a teacher. When I'm not knitting, it's usually because someone made me stop.
100 Things About Me
(BTW, can I tell you how excited I am to finally have a blog to do this on? Send me memes, people! I live for memes!)
1. I would marry my French press if I could.
2. I have two ridiculously fat and shed-prone cats. I didn't declaw them out of principle, but sometimes I wish I had.
3. I have bad skin and won't leave the house without makeup. Come a house fire (G-d forbid), the Bare Escentuals comes with me.
4. I am often jealous.
5. My sister is much prettier than I am.
6. I must. have. coffee.
7. If I could choose to have any kitchen appliance, it would be a bread maker. I would gain 50 pounds, but it would be 50 pounds of happiness.
8. I could care less about most sports. I secretly think they're all fairly silly.
9. Except during the Olympics. Then I'll watch anything. Curling? Sure. Swimming? You bet your bippy!
10. I bite my nails off.
11. My home page is the Jerusalem Post, but mostly I just scan the headlines. UPDATE: my new homepage is Haaretz, but I mostly just scan the headlines.)
12. Favorite food: sushi. Favorite new sushi: vegan avocado rolls from the local health food store.
13. I love it when I eat healthily, but I'm lazy and tend to eat a lot of crappy food.
14. I believe in divine providence.
15. I wish that I were more disciplined about religious observance. I'm much happier when I am, but can't seem to keep it up.
16. I'm not married.
17. I tend to be very negative before I even try something, and then am surprised by how wrong my expectations were.
18. I am a therapy drop-out.
19. I love to get my hair cut.
20. I have no kids but already have future, currently non-existent kids' names picked out.
21. I hate beyond all reason seaming up UFOs. I hate seaming. I hate it.
22. I'm not a technical knitter at all. At all. It's much more go with the flow for me. Which can result in some major SNAFUs, but also results in relatively stress-free knitting.
23. I rescued a cat and dog (Olive and Stanley respectively) from stray-cat-hood and euthanasia (also respectively) and am very proud of that.
24. My parents adopted Stanley, and now call him 'son'.
25. I am deeply squicked-out by cockroaches and most bugs. Also the sound of bones breaking and frosted glass rubbing together.
26. I sometimes find myself humming or singing snatches of psalms or prayers. I don't really know what that's about.
27. I would rather buy a pair of shoes than a nice meal. You can buy me the nice meal if you want.
28. I love the book The Once and Future King, but have never finished it. I've read the first 3/4 6 times, but never the end. Too sad.
29. I love four-way stops. The possibilties!
30. I used to crack my knuckles all the time, but now I think I have arthritis in my right thumb cause it hurts all the time. So I guess my dad was right. Phooey.
31. I am very messy. I had 8 empty coffeecups in my room this morning.
32. I've been growing my hair out for over 6 months, and it's finally able to go into a real genuwine ponytail
33. My favorite museum is the Israel Museum. My favorite exhibit is the Dead Sea Scrolls.
34. I make a mean kugel.
35. I will cook meat for you, but only if I really, really like you.
36. I think lace is art.
37. I wish I could go back to school to be an archeologist.
38. I'm always slightly disappointed at the results of personality tests.
39. I'm amazed when people can't tell I'm being sarcastic.
40. I am catching up on Season 2 of Lost by watching 4 episodes a night.
