I feel like a floater. Lol. I just looked up the definition of a floater, and this is what it says.
1. One that floats or is capable of floating.
2. One who wanders; a drifter.
3. Informal. a person who is continually changing his or her place of abode, employment, etc.
Yup, sounds like me. This one, not so much: 4. Australian. a meat pie served in a plate of gravy or pea soup.
Nope. Never felt the urge to be an Australian meatpie.
Walking through the park today, I felt so out of place. There were the kids, of course. So cute, with pudgy hands and cheeks. On the swings, and slides. Falling down, and laughing, and clapping.
There were the old people, sitting on benches, reading, enjoying the sun.
And then there was me, strolling along. No longer a teen ager, not yet an adult, I don't think I fit into any category. Hmmmm..
We have exams now. I don't feel bad saying that I'm not studying for them. (Ok, I feel a little bad, but I don't think I'll do anything about it.) Seriously, what can you do with a seminary diploma?
Inspiration. Something I don't have right now. Contimplation. 2 more weeks in Israel. Procrastination. Summer schedules to plan... Three excellent English words. If you are bored, look them up in the dictionary.
Job for next year. Decision making. I hate making decisions. Plus, you have to have options first in order to decide. Anyone know of any jobs?
On a brighter note: I made soup today. Yes, I know it's hot out, and soup is for winter. But when you are bored and have nothing better to do, (and learning sichos isn't exactly what I would call 'fun') then you go to the supermarket, buy some veggies, some peas, and barley, cook it up in a pot, and voila! Not only do you have a scrumptios supper, you also just killed a few hours of time. And now I have something to blog about.... cuz unlike TRS, (I hope I get commission for linking to your blog...) I can't pull up some old dvar Torah that I posted long ago, when I have nothing to write, cuz sadly, I never posted dvar Torahs, and I don't even have that many old posts to rerun.
On another note: for my b-day I took on the hachlata to say sefer hamitzvos. No, not Rambam, not shalosh perakim layom, or even perek echad layim, but sefer hamitzvos, the 'girly' version. (If you feel up to doing more, then go ahead, but as a girl I am thankful that we have less to say.)
And would you believe that the day I took it on, I opened up the dvar malchus, and....yup, for those who recall, it was like 7-10 pages long!!!! I laughed, and said, thanks, G-d. The jokes on me. Then I said it anyway.
Today I REALLY didn't want to say sefer hamitzvos. It's not too long, like a page and a half, but you know, tired, lazy. But I made the hachlata, so I decided to keep it. Yes, dear readers, I said my sefer hamitzvos today. I should get a ribbon. (Did you say it? If not, GET OFF THE COMPUTER AND GO SAY IT!) Now, does anyone know the reason why we say it altogether? I'd be interested in knowing.
I'm going to Chevron for shabbos. You should be happy for me, not jealous. Don't worry, I'll have all of you in mind.
Now I can succesfully say that I wrote a post about absolutyly nothing. Something I despise. Oh well. Happy reading!
And for those of you who are online, bored, and have no life (most of you out there. No offense, I would be too if I wasn't in sem, and didn't have restraints about the computer) check out this video: it makes me laugh every time. But beware, it might be what you call 'shtus'.
Yay! Another post. I'm trying to get to 100 before I leave Israel, think I'm only up to 87. Give me some ideas...
p.s. the cat, just found it cute. And for those that know, Israel is swamped with cats. I pass tons every day on my way to school. They stare at me with their beady eyes. And I stare right back, and say, didn't yo mama teach you not to stare? (Ya, I talk to cats.)
sefer hamitzvos is really long in the beginning, but later it gets easier. And the funny think is that the harder the Shelosha perakim is, the easier the sefer hamitzovs is. For example, when the 3 perakim guys are sweating over hilchos tuma'as mes, the sefer hamitzvos gals just need to say one line for seven days.
ReplyDeletewhen the 3 perakim guys are REALLY sweating over hilchos keilim (which has not mitzvos associated with it and includes 28 chapters), I'm not sure what the sefer hamitzvos gals are doing, but it ain't too strenuos.
*it's PROBABLY not to strenuous.
ReplyDeleteHow much do you want for that?
ReplyDeletefor a post about nothing, there's an awful lot of something...
ReplyDeleteso next year - job your only option? what about school?
lately i've been having nostalgia for seminary... perhaps because ive been reading your posts, and you're leaving?
just noticed this one - conTEMplation. sorry.
i always manage to burn my soups on the bottom. i really need to practice my cooking.
the cats in israel put me off of animals for a while, but now if our landlord lets, we're gonna get one!
e. you know all these random fun facts. its cool.

ReplyDeletee- thanks, i dont feel bad that im not a guy. and i see u are careful to give us crefit too
