Breishit

Hello world. And when I say world I really extend my greetings to the one or two people with whom I will be brave enough to share the existence of this blog. And maybe even my mom. Just kidding. I think it’s important that I lay out for myself exactly why I have made the choice to post my words online as opposed to writing them in a little notebook I would probably throw away. (I had a journal when I was in high school but I have a distinct memory of burning it discreetly one Lag Ba’Omer.):

1) It might bring relief to my friends who will not have to bear the brunt of my rants at three o’clock in the morning.
2) Maybe I will come a bit more self-conscious of my grammar when it’s up there for the world to scrutinize.
3) It appeals to my creative side which has become a bit stifled this summer, being smothered by binding machines, SOCs and disbursement checks. (I’m currently working in a law firm.)

A little bit about me: I’m almost 20. I’m from Toronto and I really hate when people joke about my Canadian background. Yes, I’m American too. I can vote in two elections for two different countries, I know both national anthems, and I know that the thirteen stripes represent the thirteen original colonies while the maple leaf doesn’t represent much of anything. I go to Brandeis University, which is a place that I love. I am very proud of being Jewish. I have a very short attention span, but books are my friends. I cannot live without music or ice cream. I am afraid of almost everything but I will never let on and I will almost always try. I struggle with a lot of things but so does everyone, so let’s relish it all together.

This pretty much sums up who I am, Yeah, right. Not even close. Not that I’m so deep or anything. But I got bored with all this typing, and the screen sort of hurts my brain.

So on this note, shalom, and I welcome myself to the unfamiliar turf of cyberspace.

Love,

Zahvi
