nothing inspirational enough to blog about happened to me this weekend, but i think these overheard in ny's are worthy of covering for me. since i got into an argument today with wmij that my name is not jewish, it's just from the bible, this religion edition seems appropriate.
i'm still vehement from our argument, so u have no choice but to read my replay of it: the nomad said our room was straight out of the bible, given our first names. wmij said she has not fully recovered from her shock that my name is {windancer} and im not jewish. she claimed my "situation" is very strange. at that point, i may or may not have said that jews don't own the bible. to put it lightly, this did not go over well. tho i simply meant that other religions exist besides judaism and it would be respectful to acknowledge this fact, this position was an epic fail. however, i'd actually consider it a raging success of an argument since she then fled to the library for the night. im too tired to be nice and caring...

God Squad lady: Praise Jesus! You won't be saved without Jesus! You have to start believing in Jesus to be saved! Jesus will always be there for you!
Suit #1: Would it be so awful if we pushed her out when the doors open?
Suit #2: No. Jesus will save her.

Older woman: Excuse me, miss?
Younger woman: Yeah?
Older woman: Your veil, your burqa is very beautiful. I didn't know your people were allowed to wear it in bright colors.
Younger woman: It's not a burqa, it's a poncho. I'm Jewish. It's for the rain. I got it at TJ Maxx.
(i wish i saw this play out in person. woulda been epic.)

Lady lawyer: This is a disaster. They should never put non-Jews in charge of the catering.
(this is why hewitt has better food than john jay. we've got the jews in charge.)

Son having tantrum: I don't want to go to the park! (throws his coat on the ground)
Father: Did you just take your coat off? I'm going to tell the Virgin Mary you're not wearing your coat, and then you know it will get back to Santa!
(this sounds exactly like a catholic version of donatello speaking to miranda, even tho she stopped believing in santa clause before kindergarten.)

hahahahahahahaha omg. so funny. i laughed out loud, like actually, for the one about the burqa. im still working on my essay unfortunately. but i was also working on calc earlier/now. i finally have a thesis but like nothing i wrote before goes with it. but my friend probs thinks im weird now cuz she thought i was working on my essay and then i burst out laughing when she asked me a calc question. anddddd now im rambling but hey, its 3 40 i have an excuse. ummmmmmm yeah.
these stories are quite good, 1&2 are the best. so your peace with wmij was v.short lived, i can see...
that's quite unfortunate.
Those stories are rather hilarious, but I would have rather been there to see the argument between you and WMIJ. I imagine that it could have been quite amusing to a third party peeking in. If only she had tried to stab you with her menorah or at least smother you with a yamika while you slept...
It may not be the best idea to argue with the Jews, because, from what I hear, they make up a fair amount of the population at your school and things could get ugly fast. At least you will have the crazy UU chalice-bearing nomad on your side.
I went up to one of those people who give phamplets and i was like, will god save you? and he was like yes because he is my savior. and i was like what do you need saving from? and he was like my sins, so i was like if you sin you deserve to go to hell and i walked away.
I'm done with my pms and i feel so good now. preMENstrual cycle
