IQ, Yom Kippur, Yearbook, oh my!

Since I guess I have some blogging to catch up on, I better start now.

This weekend was the sacred Jewish holiday, Yom Kippur, which is the start of the Jewish new year. Anyhoo for the day, we aren't supposed to eat and all we can drink is water, but at night we have a huge feast. Saturday is when my family had a feast and I invited my gentile, Serbian friend, Sara. Of course on Jewish holidays it's customary to consume kosher wine, such as Maneschwitz.

Anyhoo, they say "You learn something new everyday" and this day was no exception. My lesson? Never let your almost 70 year old diabetic, bi-polar father drink, even for religious reasons. See, family dinners at my home are pparently the best time for my older sister and my father to take me down a few pegs. My sister makes horribly rude, snide remarks to me, I defend myself, my father yells at me. The night ending with me fuming, my dad passed out, my sister at some kegger, and my only 2 family members present accusing me of being an alcoholic, this took place Saturday and my father was still giving me the dredded silent treatment for "Fighting with my sister", this is my sister and I fighting.

Her: You better keep the wine out of Tish's hands, it might dissapear.

Me: Will you stop, please?

Her: Tish, stop drinking.

Me: It's my first glass, you dirtbag.

My Dad: Tish, how dare you!? Fcuk you, you little bitch! Stop fighting with your sister!

Me:...What the hell? *turn to Sara* Happy holidays at the Solomon's.

Next topic.

If one thing infuriates me me more than anything else, if Colin Farell gave me genital warts it would piss me off less than this, condescending people who think they're more intelligent and just plain better than everyone else. This fuels my spite towards IQ tests, since it acts as wind blowing the firey egos of such individuals. Despite this I took an IQ test yesterday, just for the hell of it. Turns out I am "above average intelligence" and if that didn't make me happy, this sure will. This is an actual quote from the website when I got my results.

"Well done! Your performance on the test was well above the population average
which means that you have the ability to achieve success in life."

Isn't that awful!? It's basically saying if you're not above "average intelligence" whatever the fuck that is, you don't have the abilities to succeed in life? This is making me madder than the Hulk with an adulterous girlfriend so...moving on.

I got my 10 th grade yearbook today, filled with pictures I don't remember being taken...just awful candids, but I feel I've ranted enough for the day so good night to you all!

fuck guy, that was a tasty dinner. I love jew food. I think you'd like Serbian food. But if I ever invited you to a Serbian family dinner thing you'd probably die. Maybe of laugter, maybe of fear, maybe of alcohol poisoning.

Haha it was fun though. And that thing your dad said about the Ganges was fucking hilaaaarious.

PS. I really really really don't like your sister.
