I have had a couple very interesting days on the personal front. One. Trading emails with other single guys is so 1999 I can't stand it. Its boring and futile. Here is my phone number call me. And nothing. Lame ass. Which actually is ok because I was not really all that interested in this person anyway. His emails were incredibly boring and he didn't capitalize properly. Sure train of thought and all, but honey.... capiltalize your "I"'s at least. Have a little respect for your personal pronouns. Not quite the testosterone hater that I was in October but not just thrilled about the species either.

I bought my car last night. It wasn't just lovely and pleasent and wonderful. But I am glad that it is over and I can move on and have reliable transportation and not worry about a transmission flaking out and causing me harm. Gave the old car to a uber nice guy that works for my Dad. I think he was a little overwhelmed but seriously the $300 bucks the dealership was offering me for a trade in was insulting. Better to give the car to someone that will appreciate it. This guy is doing me a mitzvah by taking it. The dealership experience was incredibly sleezie though and honestly, I hated every minute of it. It wasn't exciting, it wasn't pleasent and it wasn't supposed to be like that.

One of the attorneys that I work with was telling me that when the financing lady called me today and I explained to her that the way she treated me last night was pushy and rude, I "knocked it out of the park". Huh. I was just saying my mind and not backing down from how I was made to feel.

All I know is that is the highest compliment I have receieved in a very long time.

I got into a slightly heated argument today about the Kabbalah movement. For the record, what ever brings anyone serenity and personal joy I am all for it. What brought about the conversation was... "You are Jewish, do you believe in the Kabbalah?" "Um I don't really know anything about the Kabbalah other than hearing a story about a woman who IS a follower (of Berg) and really taught a rabbai something about the story of Ruth at a wedding that I heard about".... "Oh so you aren't really all that Jewish then"... "well I don't wear a red string on my wrist or a mogen david, but I consider myself Jewish and a good Jewish Person". "But don't you have to believe in the Kabbalah". Then I went to explain that the Kabbalah is actually a mystical text that most Jewish Scholars weren't even allowed to study because it was super advanced and that I don't really think the current Berg-ed Out version really is. It was a really interesting conversation. And then I started blathering on about the blood lines of Princess Leia and her mother Queen Amadalah. Which totally whigged me out because honestly, I have only seen the first movie...from 1977.... Story 6 or whatever it is. How do I know about Queen Amadalah. The same way this guy knows about Kabbalah. Freakin' Entertainment Tonite. It scared me just a little.

Ok hopefully I will have a better night's sleep. Last night I think I got about 45 minutes. I am cranky as hell and ready for a nice rest. I have the a/c on and a nice glass of milk and I am ready to go shluffie.
