sniffnoy"It's easy to compute when you have zeroes in your hands." - Dr. Vijaya
You know, there's something rather disturbing about being the only one who actually cares about completing the seder, and also being the atheist of the family. I mean, I know my sister's atheist too, but my parents believe in God, don't they? And at least some of my uncles and aunts and cousins? And my grandmother? And yet I'm pretty much the only reason we actually finished the thing instead of just trailing off after the meal? That's really a bit strange.
And no, I did not do it just so I could annoy my mom with Chad Gadya, Echad Mi Yodeya (sp? Eh, who cares, it's a transliteration), or Adir Hu. :D (She hates *all* those songs. :D We only ended up singing Adir Hu (but we didn't even follow the family tradition of banging on the table drunkenly on the word "Bimreha"! :-/ :) (though then again I suppose that's more of a father's-side seder thing)).)[0]
And then we're not going to have a full seder tomorrow night? I mean, I know normally we'd go to my Dad's parents, but they can't really do that this year, and... eh, come to think of it, I'm don't think I really want to do a second one either if we're not going to be seeing anyone different. At least we'll do the skeleton of one.
...blech. I shouldn't be writing this. The other day I wrote a private LJ entry - a *private* LJ entry, since when do I do that? I know it'll become public eventually, after a lot more editing, I hate to feel that I'm hiding something - so I appear to be generally taking things too seriously. Well, not *generally*, as anyone who saw me today can testify, but at least partly. Blech. I already said that, didn't I?

[0]I just think it's really funny that thousands of years from now, kids will still be annoying their parents by insisting they sing all 13 verses of Echad Mi Yodeya.

Date: 2004-04-06 06:13 pm (UTC)Hey, at least you got a seder at all. We had what can only be described as a skeleton of one last night, although I must say we're doing a full one tonight.
On a side note, how much editing can you do on an entry before you really are hiding something? Think about that.
