Just got back from a work conference in Ottawa last night. It was interesting, but there was a lot of sitting. I met a lot of my co-workers and really bonded with the Toronto crew so I'm super excited for this year- challenging as it will be. My group of Hillel butchers rock!
As for what I'm doing today? Well clearly the same thing I've been doing everyday- it's been a slow start. A very slow start. But at least there's a little more direction.
So anyway that being said- last week I'm driving down Bathurst, after meeting up with Javeed. It's like 1130pm and I'm stopped at the light. All of a sudden this kid on rollerblades materializes out of nowhere. He's maybe 15 or 16, wearing all black, with paese and the black hat. A religio- as the friend likes to call them. He's like "Sir, can I get a lift down to Bathurst and Wilson?" At first I'm like what the hell is going on? Then I'm like "Sir????!!!!" Did he just call me Sir????? Then I'm thinking, I'm north of Steeles right now, this kid is going to rollerblade from here down to Wilson??? I assessed the situation and aside from a little bruised ego from being called Sir, I was like fine, I'll do my mitzvah for the year. I also figured I could take the kid if need be. Once he realized I was actually a girl and not a 'Sir' I think he got super uncomfortable, but luckily I had my Israeli music and we chatted. Turns out he's from Argentina, working in the Chabad camp this summer.
And so I gave a ride to a hitch hiker- something I thought I would never do- especially after giving Omer so much crap about it.
It was an experience.

Oh, he was a religio, it's fine. What's he gonna do, kosherize you?
Please don't let this into your new pick-up tactic. I mean, at least go for guys who recognize your clear femininity....
Trixie- NO. And he was young. Very young. 10 years might be a little too young for me. I've decided 4 to 5 yrs is ok though.
Vanjula- When I told my mom she was like he could have been the "hassidic killer."
So I shouldn't be patrolling Bathurst in the middle of the night for sexy hassidic boys is what you are saying?
