Carousing

[theyellowhobbit]

I'm about to go to Israel. I should be asleep, but I just got back from carousing with Celine 30 minutes ago, and I need some internet before bed.

Shabbat was pretty quiet. At the F.'s house besides me there was Y.R. (from Brown/JitW), her boyfriend D. from Toronto, and A. I had never met D. before. He's pretty cool, and he had a lot of interesting things to say. And he went to Malei Gilboa, and everyone to come out of that yeshiva who I've met thus far in my life has been a cool person. If I were a guy I would totally go there.

Celine came over to my house at around 8:15. For Chanukkah she gave me a set of 2 mix CDs with some amazing music on them. There were a bunch of songs from the musical Altar Boyz, and one of them Celine described as the greatest song ever. And I have to agree with her. If you could hear the music and how it's being sung you would get the whole effect, but I guess imagine it as a typical slow ballad sung by a boy band.


When I met you girl
I knew you were the one
I’d be with all my life
And I knew that I’d be making you my wife

So I hope you’ll understand my love
When I sing you this refrain
I believe in God, and so I must abstain

And I know that there is something about you, baby
Something I can’t even say what it is
But there’s something about you, baby
Girl, you make me want to wait

When I hold you’re body next to mine
It feels so good
And feels so right
And it also makes my Levi’s feel real tight

All my friends they think I’ve lost my mind (you’ve lost you’re mind)
And they tell me I’m a fool (fool)
But I’m doing what I learned in Sunday school (Sunday school)

And I know that there is something about you, baby (something about you, baby)
Something I can’t even say what it is (something I can’t say)
But there’s something about you, baby (something about you, baby)
Girl, you make me want to wait (ooh, ooh, ooh)

I mean it from my heart (mean it from my heart)_
When I say I love you so (I love you, I love you)
So please believe when I just say no (just say no)

Spoken: Girl, whenever we get this frisky,
I know it’s hard to put on the brakes, baby, I know.
But something’s making behave responsibly tonight.
It’s your special blend of charisma and spunk.
Crunk, I guess you’d call it.
But whatever it is, you got it all up in you girl.
You got crunk.

And I think you understand my choice,
And I know you see it’s true.
When I tell you that this hurts me more than you.

And I know that there is something about you, baby (something about you, baby)
Something I can’t even say what it is (something I can’t say)
But there’s something about you, baby (something about you, baby)
Girl, you make me want to wait (ooh, ooh, ooh)

At least until our wedding date
So till then, I’ll master
My own faith

So while this song is about religious Catholics, it could totally be about religious Jews.

And now I need to knit Celine a scarf for Christmas, but I don't have the materials here with me in RI, since I brought yarn for specific projects, and all of my mom's yarn is acrylic. I could look through the stash before I leave, but I have enough projects on my plate as is.

Now time to download some patterns before I go to bed!

How long are you going to be in Israel?? Out of curiosity, where did you find a ticket from? I ask because I really wanted to go to Israel during this break but couldn't find anything under what I paid to go for a much longer period of time over the summer, and thought that it would be sort of silly to pay the same amount for twoish weeks there as I did for eight weeks there. Regardless, have a great time!!! (and of course, a safe flight!) : )

I'm here for 10 days with my family. It's an El-Al flight and they bought the tickets, so I'm not sure how they got them or how expensive they were. But flight costs don't change with the length of your trip, because it's not like you staying in Israel for 2 months costs them any less then you staying in Israel for 2 weeks...
