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.

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.

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
