Exactly the opposite of me. You and I together can eat all carrots in the world, and we'd never fight over them. You get the mushy ones; I get the crunchy ones.

14. I am jewish, but I also celebrate Christian holidays (talk about a Mad Jew :) )

Is that because you have some of the beliefs, or is it a social thing, to "fit in"? Or do you just like traditions? I know people in all of those categories.

I played trumpet in middle school too, and everyone said I was good. Maybe nobody told me how bad I was. :eek:

I went to (marching) band camp too, and the best part was when it was over - my legs were soooooooooo sore from a day of marching practice. But that's just how it was for us star (sideline) athletes. :)

Actually, even though I'm technically Jewish (my mom is Jewish), my dad comes from a more Christian family, hence why I celebrate Christian holidays.
