"leopards break into the temple and drink to the dregs what is in the sacrificial pitchers; this is repeated over and over again; finally it can be calculated in advance, and it becomes part of the ceremony."

Interesting....nice blog! Keep up the good work! L'Shalom, Yehudi
Okay . . . and who is that?
just...some person who likes hebrew and blogs? this one ain't private, remember Eowyn?
sigh...we need to get together soon. it's ridiculous how close you live for how little we see each other. I'll call you really soon, 'k?
Kafka is....I'd like to see amazing but I wanted to ask if you could explain the Metamorphosis first. I've been thinking and thinking and thinking about it, and I've no clue what it means. it seems very random and abstract and I can't quite seem to get the meaning behind it.
there is a meaning, right?
kafka's meaning is in the search itself.
he writes to be reread.
though i think the metamorphosis is about disapproval and scorn from society. how people react to how you change and how much you don't fit in to what's expected of you.
Definately Verya. We HAVE to get together.
I just realized:
that sentance has two semi-colons!!!!! *does happy dance* I love semi-colons, esp. in British use. they always put them in the "wrong" spots and them mom gets mad at me when I do it too.
yes definitely. I keep trying to call you. today I was so dead when I got done with school/chores/piano/christmas stuff, etc. that I didn't think you'd really appreciate talking to me. considering I just wanted a nap. and tomorrow I'm gone all day - oh dear.
well I'll call you when I do get some good quality time to catch up! story of my life is, I have some free time here and there, but never enough to really catch up with my friends so it doesn't seem right to call someone for just ten minutes, you know? that's why you still don't have an e-mail Em...
: )
Sam, I'l say. You do make life awful complicated. Don't you ever just stop trying to understand it all and try to just live it?
you sound like my sister. =-)
probably a decent point.
i enjoy trying to understand it so much, though, mj. would you want to take that away from me? replace musings with diaries? lol.
