obligatory yom kippur post

[dancingyel]

so today at sundown is the start of yom kippur, and since it falls on shabbat this year, i've decided to actually keep shabbat. this is turning out to be much more complicated than I had originally thought, but it's ok. i'll give it my best shot. what this means, though, is that i won't be around online 'till saturday night, nor will i be answering my phone. so yeah...unless it's an emergency, don't call...and if it's an emergency, call my land line (858)535-1492 and my roommate will deal with it.

before i leave to take care of last minute stuff, i'd like to do the standard yom kippur apology thing. if i've done something to make you angry or upset, i apologize. specifically, sorry, avi, for the fact that i'm never around and don't respond very promptly. also, sorry cin for all the negative things i've said/though due to the issues around the end of the year last year. and sorry sam for general negativity. and everyone else who i can't think of specific things for, i'm sure i've done stuff that wasn't meant to offend but did, and for that i apologize.

anyone who's fasting, i hope you have an easy and meaningful fast. see you all later!

I don't know the official term, but you're easy to forgive, sweetie. Haven't been feeling very productive myself.

Chag Sameach =)
I really like the thought of wishing everyone an easy and meaningful fast. I hope mine is easy and I will try to make it meaningful. And I hope the same for you too =)

my freshman year, the rabbi here wished us all an easy and meaningful fast after the evening service, and it just stuck with me. it seems like such an appropriate thing to wish for people, you know? my fast was pretty easy...the fact that i had time to nap really helped. it was a good yom kippur...lots of time for reflection and thought, and just plain resting. how'd yours go?

Mine was actually not that easy. I woke up at 7:30 to go to a yoga class with my mom, which was actually a really nice way to start Yom Kippur (makes me very aware of my body in a similar way that fasting does), but it meant I was up early. I napped a little, but not enough to keep the day from being very long. By 5pm I was feeling very lightheaded and I broke fast a little early (around 7 instead of around 8 as I had planned) because I wasn't feeling well. But food tasted so good anyway!! And the day before 5pm was excellent.
In other news, I looked through Kevin's little black book that you made him again last night- very very amusing, especially the pictures of the stick figure "guy on guy" dancing. Err, the "men on top of each other." Err, yes. =P
Good luck moving in and getting settled!

I forgive you for any wrong that you have committed against me, though I confess that I take most of the blame upon myself in my mind. Take care.

Sam

P.S. Will call you tomorrow (Monday) night, and if I don't, call me at midnight and yell at me for being stupid.

of course you're forgiven,

and i hope you forgive me too for provoking such thoughts and what not. i was not at my best...

btw, in case you're wondering, i'm just going through and commenting on all your posts because i'm at clics and the thought of reading human reproduction right now (PGC lines and genital ridges and the true hermaphrodites with ovotestes) is just not appealing.

you're forgiven, too, dear

just realized that it says "though" instead of "thought," which is what it should say...but yeah. both of us were not at our best, i think, but i'm glad to see that things are good again. *grins*

human reproduction sounds like not such a fun class. i'm once again glad not to be a bio major. seems like i won't be a bio minor, either, since i'm not really taking any more bio, but that's ok.

but...but...

don't you want to know all about ovotestes??!!
