Silberberg Wedding
Memorial day. Another day where I don't have much to do. I slept late. It feels good to do that.
At three was Miriam Silberberg's wedding. She apparently married someone important--there were rabbis from California, New York, and France there.
I wandered into the room where they were signing the ketubah. After that, the groom gave what I guess was a dvar Torah. In a rather rapid-fire form, in either Aramaic or Yiddish (not like I could tell). There were some men (mostly at the front of the room) who were listening and understanding; most just sat there and weren't really paying attention. It makes me think--when I get married, can I pull something like that off? I wonder, because I don't have any of the background to do that. It's a weird feeling. I need to do something about that.
Apparently a few days ago, Mom was talking to Rabbi Bergstein, and he'd suggested (apparently being on the topic of shidduchim) that I date Jessica. She's not quite my type, though. I once threw that idea at her in jest, and she got a bit of a horrified look on her face. She said that she considered me more of a brother than anything (after all, we'd grown up together). She's not really my type. I remember watching a movie with her and some other sibs when the THX trailer came on. It was the one with the cow-in-a-can, and at the end, there were "moo"s everywhere. When it ended, I mooed, and Jess looked a bit disgusted. Some girls come to mind who would have mooed with me. That's who I'm looking for.
[sigh] I wouldn't mind a cute particle physicist. If I did something stupid, I'd apologize and say something obnoxious like "I feel like such a boson"...
So apparently he's looking for me. I wish it'd be in the area of people I don't already know, but I'm sure he's going in that direction too.
And I met someone else who does that kind of thing. Older lady, and I can't remember her name, but she knows Elisa, and so she can get in contact with me through her. We talked for a little bit. Unfortunately, when she asks what I'm looking for, I can't answer much past "oh, cute and smart and sweet" which is such a generic answer.
But it looks like Wheels Are Turning. So we'll see how that works out.
I came home and finished the screening of Wag The Dog that I'd started earlier.
