Went to a job interview for an airport cargo company, which will be an overnight shift. However, I am holding off committing to it until I finish a job fair on Saturday and get some word on a temp job at State Street. God knows I don't want to take a job that will cut down on dancing and general socializing.

I imagine if I take the job, friends and family will worry. Much like I was saying, "Hey guys, after doing the conversion thing, I'm going to join the IDF. Anyone know a good nutritionist to get all that weight off?"

(And believe me, I thought about that, and learning Arabic, probably becoming the world's most polite interrogator. I'm sorry, I was just reading Brudnoy's editorial in the Boston Phoenix, and thinking "Okay, point taken, but what about reports of five settlers on one Arab? I can make the argument it's not feasible for the PA to rein their nuts when Israel does not." At the same time, this editorial in Bay Windows about Pim Fortuyn made the obvious point that Israel, the one country that's somewhat tolerant of GLBT populations, is getting a lot of shit by leftists who aren't getting the idea that condemning one country for being religiously based while ignoring the human right violations done by religiously based Arab countries is ignorant as hell, very much against the whole idea of peace and social justice--oh, man, I should shut up, I am obviously fevered. Suffice to say, being an openly bisexual non-married woman who is not going to give birth (but may adopt) due to liking things like quiet or privacy or not not having my talents and ambitions overruled by the tyranny of the mother role will get me shot by some of the Jewish settlers and executed by the PA. If I want something, I want either one secular government with mixed populations whose reports of being beaten or bombed are taken seriously or two states where there is a lot of room for different viewpoints within Judaism and Islam, mostly for my own protection, and for the protection of people I care about, either in the abstract or in person).

On another note, Winthrop looks real pretty for a town so close to an airport. I want to see Arik tomorrow, but something makes me think he isn't interested. I wish I could talk to Sivan soon. I wish I could observe Shauvot. I wish for sleep. I want to get my own place, since my mom is wrapped up in finding a place. I will have to pay rent for that too, but I want to have some place to call my own (so I can invite people overnight, so I can decorate my own living room, so I can clean up only my own messes, so I won't feel like a loser, so I won't have to hide Judaica like most people hide porn). Meanwhile, I requested another deferrment for my loan until I get a steady job. Wish me luck.
