Bizzarity...

Hellooooo!

I'm sorry for my appalling absence - Coursework sucks. I'm supposed to be writing the remaining 1500 words right now.... Argh... 

Anyway, today is this Jewish festival called Purim which is basically the battiest festival you could hope to find. The idea is to celebrate this story of how people were gonna die but didn't basically (is anything ever to celebrate much else???) (the actual sorty is longish and complicated) and as this all took place in ancient Persia, people used to dress us in Persian outfits for the festival, which eventually turned into it becoming a festival for general fancy dress (or something along those lines). Anyway, the point is that we now have this festival where we dress up in costume, go to synagogue to hear the story (which is in Hebrew so no-one actually understands... Awks...), then have a huge party afterwards. Its also a tradition to get so drunk during the party that you can't tell the difference between the goodies and baddies in the story. You can imagine how that turns out. 

For the 'youth' though, as we can't legally drink yet, this basically means holding a party on the upper floors of the synagogue - playing poker, eating candyfloss, and the little kids chucking shaving foam everywhere. By 10pm it looked like it had been snowing inside. (The party was last night.) Bare in mind that we were all still in costume. The most bizarre festival ever, in conclusion. They're not all like this... 

Me and two friends went as Hogwarts houses - I was Ravenclaw, and the other two were Slytherin and Griffindor - but we were missing a Hufflepuff. Also, there were some really cute guys there... I stayed over at my friend's house afterwards (the Griffindor) and we were discussing the guys there until v late at night. I was slightly zombified in school today...
