Jewberg: i can get anything i want 24 hours a day
Jewberg: i live near the beach
Jewberg: there is work for me here, lots of girls
Jewberg: whats not to like?
vermonttamar: hm
vermonttamar: when i lived in tel aviv, i lived near the beach, could get aything i wanted 24 hours a day, could have found work, and there were lots of jewish men
vermonttamar: i never went to the beach, never went out late at night, worked in jerusalem and commuted each day, and i think i went out with only one tel aviv guy
vermonttamar: some things are just wasted on me
Jewberg: yeah like the idea of fun
vermonttamar: i take offense!
Jewberg: i intended for you to take offense!
vermonttamar: i have fun
vermonttamar: i’m old - fun is more laid back now
Jewberg: whats your idea of fun? crocheting?
vermonttamar: i tried to learn, but it didn’t take
vermonttamar: that was actually a trend in college
vermonttamar: lots of people were knitting and crocheting, including the guys
Jewberg: back in the 1800s?
vermonttamar: i graduated in 2001
Jewberg: oh right right
vermonttamar: one guy used to make knit chain mail
Jewberg: i only finished a year after you
Jewberg: oh man, did he play dungeons and dragons while crocheting?
vermonttamar: i think he was a LARPer
Jewberg: omg even worse!
vermonttamar: campus was full of them
Jewberg: or is it worse that you know what that is
vermonttamar: they would run around sometimes in capes
vermonttamar: i’m only an honorary geek
Jewberg: no no
Jewberg: the term geek is too high for those nerds
vermonttamar: i went to marlboro college
vermonttamar: we were all a little strange
vermonttamar: it’s kind of a way of life there
Jewberg: did they make you smoke camels while you were there
vermonttamar: no
vermonttamar: think 300 students up on a hill in rural vermont for four years
vermonttamar: lots of snow
vermonttamar: lots of strangeness
Jewberg: i think mass orgies and lots of yellow snow
vermonttamar: ew
vermonttamar: there was a room in the library
vermonttamar: the religion room, where people used to go sometimes
vermonttamar: for private moments
Jewberg: haha the religion room
vermonttamar: it had a door
vermonttamar: the rest of the library was kind of an open layout
vermonttamar: where did you go to school?
Jewberg: ucla for undergrad, usc for grad
vermonttamar: did they have things like fraternities?
vermonttamar: kegs?
Jewberg: unfortunately
vermonttamar: wow
Jewberg: i love kegs though
Jewberg: just not frats
Jewberg: its a giant can of beer
vermonttamar: indeed it is
vermonttamar: it’s a shame i don’t drink
Jewberg: oh that just proves my theory
