today will be a long day

it's just after one, and i'm back at library lounge, wondering if i dare read over a price center full of hundreds of people. i didn't cry last night, and i doubt i'd cry now since i'm just too tired to...but still, it's intimidating, reading with all those people out there. it's not like all of them are listening, but a good portion are, and it's just frightening. i dunno. when i finish this, i will go outside and decide then if i wanna do this or not.

so i had a nice quick talk with my mom, and we were discussing why she wants me to marry a "nice jewish boy." if you wanna know why i was talking to her about it in the first place, you gotta wait until i have time later in the day to write a friends only entry. but yeah. so it turns out, she doesn't just want the religion aspect of it. oh, no...she wants the whole culture tradition thing. this means she'd like me to marry a guy who's jewish by birth, not through conversion, and he should be ashkenazi, not sephardic, since the sephardic jewish culture is radically different. i was a bit amused by this...she has very specific prefernces for my future mate. doesn't mean, of course, that i'll follow them...but it's amusing to see how my mom's mind works. ok, well, i'm off to maybe read. more updates later.

i think it's tres amusant that you and your mom were talking about that...i think i can sorta see what she means about the culture thing, and only marrying an ashkenazi jew. can't say for sure, but i think if i were part of such a rich heritage, i would definitely want to carry it on and pass it to my kids. altho technically it shouldn't matter if your husband is jewish or not since it's thru the mom.

btw, my mom does the same thing...only cantonese chinese...not even mandarin. that pretty much excludes anyone i've ever liked except maybe daee. maybe i have a thing for taiwanese guys. heh.
