In honor of Hanukkah I wanted to share with all my Gather friends this e-mail a co-worker sent me last year on common Yiddish terms. For my fellow goyium good luck with the pronunciations, haha: . . . more
"I've given up with the whole weight loss resolution. I've spent a good part of puberty and young adult life hating myself for not being thin, and now I feel enough is enough. I will live each day . . ." more
I'm just a quiet, easy going person. I'm kind of a green girl doing my best to live a healthy, environmentally sound life (which is not always easy when you live in a big city), I hug trees regularly. I currently work as an editorial assistant for a group of community newspapers in Chicago, and freelance in graphic design jobs here and there. I dapple in fine art also, do paintings and drawings, but that is just a hobby of mine. I have lived in Chicago my whole life, and really can't see myself settling anywhere else. I really enjoy reading, where ever I go I usually have a book with me. I've recently decided to expand my love of reading into writing with my chicklit style story Sweetheart Pie (hope you are able to check it out).
On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:
People who have similar interests as me. Would like to correspond with fellow book & art enthusiasts, and of course anyone that enjoys a good laugh.
I thought you might enjoy the premier of "The Sockfather Part 1" on youtube. It will resonate with your funny bone. I copied and pasted the url for you below. Feel free to share with your friends. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seqXfUytNis
I loved the ending of Sweetheart Pie! I'm going to miss Mike and Joan, but I'm so glad they're getting their happy ending. I really enjoyed this story.
No McLaughlin show here - in fact, US tv is pretty rare. Not that it matters since I don't even have a television :)
As for the EU, in some ways it has a strong influence on the world economy. We'll see what happens, since no one in the US seems to be paying much attention to the rest of the world.
