Somebody, please get married!! Or have a baby. Or get engaged. Or get engaged, then get married, then have a baby.
Wow my life is so boring I keep thinking, what's next, what's next, then what's next after that. Here's what I've come up with:
In 2 weeks is purim. Then my friends wedding. A month after that is pesach. Then something very exciting is happening. You'll find out. Then about a month after that is my birthday. Then a week after that is Shavuos. Then a few weeks after that is summer. Then my little brothers bar mitzva! (He's the baby in the family, and the last bar mitzva.)
Then summer, then try to come up with plans for next year... yadayadayada...
Will somebody please get married?? Or something else exciting. Oh my G-d, maybe global warming will actually happen finally, all the snow will melt and we will have to row away in boats, with all our earthly possessions...
Or the year 2012 will come true and the earth will be destroyed...
Huminahuminahumina.
Lubavitch world is so 19th-century.
ReplyDeletewhat?? why would you say that?
ReplyDeleteBecause it is so true.
ReplyDeleteIf you read 19th century novels, women spent their free time wiling away in boredom, waiting for a ball (19th-century version of a lechayim/simcha) or for someone to get married/engaged/have a baby.
Men dressed pretty much like frum men dress today.
Women could only hold jobs like a secretary, a nurse or a teacher.
The list of things past and past nisht is almost identical. As well as strange mix of Puritanism on the surface and fascination with quite un-puritan things under the surface.
One’s reputation (as well as yichus) was everything, especially in terms of getting marries.
The list goes on. I could be more cynical, but someone might think I am being serious.
If you wanted some high voices in the choire (or in a theater), you couldn’t use women, so you used boys.
ReplyDeleteEtc.
ok ok i get it. BUT as i may know, you are now a part of this world. suck it up. plus im in college. thats a step up.
ReplyDeletewho are you insulting anyway?
Who said I am a part of Lubavitch world? I am a chossid of the Rebbe, that’s it. Lubavitch high society would have nothing to do with a nouveau riche (in spiritual terms) like me.
ReplyDeleteWho said I am insulting? I think it’s rather cute.
College? How scandalous... Major?
you think it's cute that my life is dull and boring? why thank you kind sir. if only you would say more nice things.
ReplyDeleteyes i am very scandelous. if you must know, psychology. dont say it. it is NOT a cliche.
I think it’s cute that Lubavitch society is like a time capsule.
ReplyDeleteSwitch to neuroscience before it’s too late.
Just befriend every girl of marriagable age. You'll be going to more simchos than you can handle. (Over here we call it OC) ;)
ReplyDeleteoh ya, its very cute. soon enough we will regress and live in shtetlach. oh right! we already do, its called crown heights.
ReplyDeleteno thank you i was never very good at science. or interested in it. i like the study of people.
CH is not nearly shtetly enought.
ReplyDeleteThen take up art. Or literature.
well DO NOT suggest to anyone in charge that they should make it into more of a shtetle. no way.
ReplyDeletei like art, i want to take that maybe next semester. but not the study of art, i want to actually paint. and i love literature and anything to do with english.
but what do u have against psychology?
Even with my level of creativity and madness, nothing I suggest can possibly make things more crazy.
ReplyDeleteI have the same thing against psychology that I have against alchemy.
i dont know what alchemy is nor do i care. but you didnt really answer the question. you just created an opening for a new one.
ReplyDeleteCA- I'm just curious, what's your opinion of anatomical pathology
ReplyDeletealso, I'm interested in your comparison to 19th century lifestyle...and truthfully, sometimes I agree with you. I like that though, and that we're just a little more modernized...
Altie- Psychology's cool. :) Psych majors are even cooler
Maybe you should find something in your life that you love everyday. Then instead of waiting for time to pass, you can enjoy every day while living today.
ReplyDeleteWhat’s wrong with anatomic pathology?
ReplyDeleteCrawling Axe: That description of Lubavitch cracked me up! Thanks for the laugh. I feel as though Lubavitch (and the frum world in general) is a microcosm of secular society... Just a few years too late. Music, clothing, food... The list goes on.
ReplyDeleteAltie: Don't let our level-headed scientist here convince you about Psychology...
Take up the piano-forte!
ReplyDeletewill you teach me?
ReplyDeleteif any instrument it would be guittar.
I think it should be the triangle.
