Freestyle description: I love people, life, God, the world and myself. In no particular order. I just came back from a year and a half of transformative Torah learning and self discovery in Israel and plan to make aliyah this summer. But I also have learnt not to take my own plans too seriously. I'm a free spirit that loves making lists. I don't like to box myself or others in. I try temper ideals with reality. It's really hard. I really dislike freestyle desciptions of myself. Makes me nervous.
Random Questions: When you hesitate before hitting snooze on your alarm clock, are you being lazy?
No, by taking the time to hesitate you're being responsible and excercising your free will.

For your birthday, your aunt gave you a maple syrup dispenser shaped like a rooster. Please write her a thank-you note.
Dear Aunt, It's the thought that counts. Next time...think harder. And include a gift receit. Or at least a maple syrup refill. Can't wait to see you next year.

Have you ever drank your soda from a straw?
I don't drink carbonated beverages, they make my nose feel funny. Except beer, which makes my nose feel great...but not from a straw.
Whats your favorite planet and why?
Earth. That's a rediculous question.
