Things about the person in the room directly below mine:
she speaks like a valley gurl
she likes pop music
she calls her friends 'bitch'
she is vocal during sex
she does not understand the meaning of the word 'quiet'
Should I attempt to have a talk with her?
Today, I had a semi-Adventure: I took the bus system to get to an unfamiliar doctor office. Weirdly, the buses here are at the station on time, give or take two minutes. It is the weirdest thing, I planned out my trip and then everything worked. So I got to the doctor's, and I told him my story. After about ten minutes, he was all, "So . . . if your Crohn's is under control and you feel great, why are you here?" Then I explained and he gave me a prescription for more Effective Medecine. ^_^ And I took the buses back. Yey!
Now I have just returned from the land of the Chabad. They don't do Simchat Torah the same way all the other people do Simchat Torah. Although there is still lots of food (Jewish Event!) and lots of dancing, they seem to think that making people-towers four people high is a good idea. Also they do this dance which goes "say l'chaim;" a "l'chaim" is a toast, which means "to life," and it is said over an alcoholic beverage. They were using a vodka so hard it was pretty much just alcohol >.< and so not only are they making people-towers, they are doing it as they became progressively more inebriated.
Also, the Chabad house here is the rabbi's actual house, where he and his wife and their children (somewhere between three and five, I was unable to assign children to parents) live.
So, in short: I have a place to go for Friday nights, and it will include lots of food, a variable number of drinks, children, and other people, and at least some amount of prayer. Huzzah.
For a closer, a bit of a conversation.
MW: A lot of brilliant scientists were Jewish.
Panda: Are.
Me: Well of course. Jews have drive. Jews have focus. Jews have mothers who are like "do you want more chikkin?"
MW: [laughs]
