arielarena | Yeah, the Jew Crew.

We have a convenience store downstairs in my dorm, the C-Store, and while it has very little selection you can get the basic necessities there-- milk, orange juice, hair stuff, condoms, mac and cheese, etc (what am I saying? No one buys condoms at the C-Store, they get them for free from Health Services! Or the 6th floor). So I ran out of orange juice and decided to go down and get more (sidenote: I forgot to get soda.). On the way down, this guy came into the elevator and turns to me. He asked me, "Are you Jewish?" I guess it's pretty obvious that yes, yes I am. So I replied yes and he said, "Happy Yom Kippur!" I kind of hate Yom Kippur. It doesn't make me feel spiritual, it make me feel hungry. And cranky. So I may or may not observe it tomorrow. I ask him if he's Jewish and he says yes. "We should start a club," I joke. He replies, "Yeah! The Jew crew." I ask him if he's going to observe and he says that he's going to synagogue tomorrow at 6 AM. I reply that I'm most definitely not going at 6 but I may still fast (or just forget to eat, which tends to happen with me when at school). We talk a little more and then he gets off the elevator while I continue on my way to the C-store.

This brings me to ask, do I look like the stereotypical Jew? I don't have the "Jew nose" according to friends (mine's aristocratic thankyouverymuch!) but I do have the curly brown hair and brown eyes. It's possible that he saw my Chamsa necklace and deduced that I was Jewish but considering it was kind of hidden by my shirt I'm guessing that's not it. Or if it is, I don't want to think about it. Still, it was kind of weird and somewhat awkward but mostly amusing. I guess I'm just Jewtastic.

Perchance he has highly sensitive jewdar. Look! I just made up a word.

1) Their's a convenience store at my school called the C-Lion....WOOT.
2) My friends here call me The Jew. Because apparently I have a Jew-nose. Even though I'm a stereotypical Irish Catholic. And the nose was only a result from an injury in gym class when I was 14.
So....um....we rock.

And when I was in Ireland everyone asked me for directions. I guess we've swapped features.

Heh. Aside from the "jew-nose" you look...Jewish? I dunno. I like the jewish look. Then again...my family's Sicilian and a lot of them look Jewish, though they're not. Its tough to say.

Ah well. Go Jews!

lol some customer was like "Wow you have a lot of freckles. Did anyone ever tell you that?"
In my head I went "Nooooooo... in fact I just woke up today and had 14 trillion freckles. I don't know what the hell happened. Waking up covered in spots was not something I anticipated."
what I said was "Hahaha yeah I know...have a great day"

oh man sully same thing with me. people are always like, "wow, you're really tall!" one day i'm just going to be like "what???? when did this happen?!?!?!?! i was a foot shorter yesterday!!"

and the guy may have just been asking everyone he saw if they were jewish, just for fun. or anyone that looked really hungry

Haha! I should have yelled, Jews? WHERE?! HIDE YOUR MONEY! Or something equally awful.

The guy was looking at me sort of funny before he asked so I'm pretty sure he was debating whether or not to bring it up and then decided to just ask.

Speaking of Yom Kippur, I'm actually trying to fast but forgot to eat a lot last night (because I often forget to eat at school) and am currently fucking starving. Can't wait until tonight. We're seeing Across the Universe and then going for sushi. Hopefully I can hold out until then.

lol
danny and i plan on going to zac's burgers for the sunday special tomorrow (10 burgers, $12) theyre the best burgers on earth. so i suggested we not eat for two days beforehand to prepare, and he was like "Yeah its like our own Yom Kippur...but like...Zac Kippur. Cause of the burgers."
hahahaha

o man i cant wait for those delicious delicious burgers.

OMG JUST GOT BACK FROM ACROSS THE UNIVERSE.
I LOVED IT.
ESPECIALLY JUUUUDEEEE.
I'm gonna marry him.

I feel like I would have enjoyed the movie more had I been under the influence of a few things.
oh well. i was driving.
when it comes out on dvd i'll get the full experience.

I saw it tonight, too! It was beautiful! Sometimes on crack. Eddie was in it! Did you see??? I adore Jude!!!! And Max! So much love for them!!! And Bono and Salma Hayack are awesome for doing cameos! I need to see it again. I'm pretty sure I didn't pick up on a lot of the subtleties of the movie. We should watch it together! We have yet to watch Breakfast on Pluto together, by the way. I still haven't seen it all the way through.

lol yeah.
of course i noticed eddie. i noticed him in the trailer...he was mostly why i wanted to see it.
i was a little weirded out by bono...
ahhh im listening to the soundtrack right now. oooh and sadie was like...<3
but yeah jude and max are so gawgeous.
did you think jude's first girlfriend was butt fucking ugly? cause i do....lol i feel like he should've had a prettier girlfriend.

I think they were using her to contrast Lucy.
It took me like five minutes to realize it was Bono and less than a second to recognize Eddie.
I want a poster with just Max and Jude on it. Lucy kind of annoyed me.

I agree....Lucy was a little annoying. Max and Jude on a poster would be cool. Max and Jude on my new satin sheets would be even better.
:)

Dude! SHARE!

P.S. I just DLed the "deluxe" edition of the soundtrack. It is amazing! I heart Jude and Max so hard!!

oooh whats the difference between deluxe and regular?
cause i dont know what i have....
haha
and where'd you get it?

Got it from a mp3 LJ community. The deluxe version has 32 songs.

oooohhhhh...
must find.

I guess I'm just Jewtastic.

Hahah, this made me laugh so much.

Yeah, the Jew Crew.
