About Me:
I only type with one hand (the left one) but i'm fast.
People keep telling me I'm funny, I hope they mean it in a good way.
War zones intrigue me, for study and travel.
I have no interest in the medical profession (or anything else lucrative, for that matter).
I spend my days learning Jewish texts for fun.
I own my dorkiness.
My best friend and I once wrote a dictionary.
I like non sequitors.
I frequently walk into walls and stick my naked arm into the oven but I've never broken a bone or had an operation.
I overthink things a lot.
I write down the name of every book I read.
I write in my blog almost every day--if you're half a good a stalker as I am, you'll find it--but I can't seem to keep up with a written journal.
Avenue Q (with Zionist frum people) pretty accurately describes my current state.
And anyone who knows me in real life will tell you that one of my most endearing/annoying qualities is my affinity for telling ridiculously long stories that have no point.
I adore lists.

Anna is a dedicated friend, a smart and independent Jewish woman with a flair for orzo casseroles. She's also looking for a charming Jewish man, in case you are one looking at Anna's profile...
I'm glad to be friends with Anna.
Anna secretly thinks that, if one us
were a boy, there could be something
good between us. And, I must confess,
I agree. Although, you know, lots of
things would be different had one of
us been born a boy, not just the fact
that Anna and I would be able to
date...but you know what I mean. We
would have loved collaborating over
the Times' Sunday puzzle, eating
Shabbat meals in our underwear,
watching hours of syndicated TV...oh
wait...that describes our current
friendship...so who needs a penis
anyway?
ever met in college. Most of my
friends are quite intelligent, but Anna
takes the cake. She introduced me to
the art of doing crosswords while in
class. How else are you supposed to
stay awake in some of those? I'm just
waiting for her to get another degree
and then save the world. She'd be good
at it. There's no one else I'd rather
dork out with either, Anna. When I
come back for a visit, we should break
out the bras, chips, hairbrushes, and
n'syncs...and then watch ridiculously
romantic movies. I haven't had a good
laugh like that in way too long.
Remember your birthday in Hewitt, when
Nellie fell on your cake b/c we were
trying to surprise you? Now that was
funny.
I am a lucky woman to have a "bored at
work" buddy like you. We can talk for
hours about our mutual hatred for Bush
or the 80 things we hope to do before
we die. Who else balances the serious
and the silly (and dare I say obscene)
like you? You are equally comfortable
talking about Israeli politics and um,
to put it politely, bathroom humor.
Some day you are going to hurt yourself
though with your complete lack of self
preservation. Luckily I am around to
keep those knives from falling on your
head! And by the way, you are a
fabulous hostess and a fuckin hot
Jewess. Mwah!
been happy to help me procrastinate.
I'm not sure how I would have gotten
through senior year of college with out
her rescuing me from work. She is also
great at drama to my life and I always
enjoy hearing about her exciting
experiences in life. She's the master
at writing brilliant away messages for
Instant Messenger and she's the reason
NY doesn't seem to terrible...
because there is just about nobody
else in this world who is as
ridiculously smart. The girl is a
crossword puzzle STUD. Aside from
being smart, she is also very
ridiculous. Our favorite thing to do
is for me to sing "Can't Help Lovin'
That Man" (our feminist manifesto)
while she performs interpretive dance
for the benefit of the hearing
impaired members of our audience. It
is entirely munificent and selfless
the way she helps the deaf.
SHE WORKS ALL DAY SHE SLEEPS ALL
NIGHT. ANNA BANANA BANOO.
