I kind of love Toronto.
It's the kind of city where you show up and are kind of surprised you don't know your way around, since it feels so comfortable and familiar.
It's kind of the best of everything - the friendliness of the midwest, the restaurants of New York, the amazing tiny markets and crazy shops of Europe, plus, composting.
Seriously. I went to street festival and they had COMPOSTING. On the street.
And there was hanging out and TV watching, and it was generally good. Though it's funny how easily my third-wheel sense kicks in, even with my brother.
Also, hilarious border encounter:
Customs Agent: What's the purpose of your visit?
Me: Personal
CA: You're going to be more specific than that,.
Me: I'm visiting my brother.
CA: How do you know him?
Me: Umm....he's my brother.
this was seconded only on the way out when the US agent asked me what my profession was and I literally couldn't get a sentence out.
I love being jobless.
Today was a day where my productivity rivaled that of a houseplant. Funny how the more I have to do, the less I can muster the strength to get out of bed. |

I swear to god, this has to be the best week ever. It is the first time I have ever cried tears of joy over the government.
It keeps hitting me over, and over, and over, and it never ceases to be awesome.
Even some of the states were awesome (yay! south dakota) even if some should dislodge from the continent (california).
But I just realized what this actually means when I read a poem someone posted - Langston Hughes' "I, too, sing America"
This brings up privilege issues up the wazoo, but the idea that I had even the tinest bit to do with making that poem come true is a fairly awe-inspiring thought.
I realize this is an idealistic, emotional post, but, dang, it's nice to feel that way. |

It feels awfully callous to post this, and I don't even know how many JDS people even read this, but I thought it might be the best way to let people know.
Amy Shaller ('04) passed away yesterday.
I don't know about the funeral or where they're sitting shiva, but I'll post if I find out.
I also don't really know how to deal with this. It's slightly unbelievable.

Weird weekend, not helped by the fact that I was suddenly confronted by people from every part of my past, bringing up some major identity crises.
And the mother mood swings didn't help.
Friday night was Midsummer Shakespeare. The play itself was...ok, crappy, but massive props to everyone involved-you guys were fabulous!
Confronted with the usual shit-like the fact that now when I see those folks I fall into this stereotype of myself from three years ago that doesn't seem to fit at all anymore. It was great to see them, but it's weird to feel like you don't belong to something that was once a huge part of your life.
Saturday...James Taylor concert. If you ever feel like being completely content in a very melancholy sort of way lie under the stars listening to Cowboy Lullaby. It was also fun to watch all the aging hippies trying to still be cool.
Today was the zoo, which was awesome as always, despite the copious amounts of wailing children. And then the JDS reunion party. Again, people who I just fall into this stereotype with, and really have nothing to say to them. It's so weird, large gatherings like that remind me why I hated high school, and how much I've changed over the past year. I really don't like who I was in high school, and despite all the work I've done to change that over the past year, I revert instantly around people from that era. Thank God Josh Lipsky wasn't there or I would have had a complete meltdown.
Tomorrow is a day off during which I plan to do absolutely nothing. How amazing. |

Ask me 4 questions. -Any 4, no matter how personal, private or random. -I have to answer them honestly. I have to answer them all. -In turn, you post this message in your own journal and you have to answer the questions that are asked of you.
Weird day. I felt like I spent the entire day moving through water, everything was in slow motion.
I kind of want to sit down and cry. |

Today I found out that Rabbi Bell passed away after suffering a heart attack on Friday.
The world just lost a dedicated, wonderful teacher who cared about his subject and his students.

Comment and:
1. I will tell you what song reminds me of you.
2. I will tell you what celebrity/public/fictional person you remind me of, either personality-wise or looks-wise.
3. I will give you one word that I associate with you when I think of you.
4. I will tell you what colors I associate with you.
Because I desperately need something to do with my time. |

The real lesson for this winter term?
How to cause irrevocable damage to friendships.
That's right.

Why aren't I home yet?
the least he could do is not ignore me entirely.
Oh fuck it, I'm just dissolving into a quivering mass of angst. |
