Lots has been happening lately. We spent an afternoon in the Boston Commons. My friends played soccer while I lounged and then danced embarassingly in public with Becki and James.
I went out for dinner alone after and got a huge bowl of Pho. My friend Jon always says he feels sad that I do things alone, but I sometimes like flying solo. The Pho was okay-nothing to write home about.
The Drag Queens made another visit to Afterhours, our schools small concert venue/coffee hangout. They are always entertaining, though this time they were so vulgar even I was uncomfortable and had to look away at times.
I visited NYC overnight to stay with Robin and see cousins in from Israel. I came home Saturday night so I could go to church on Easter. Though I am an atheist (culturally Jewish) and have incredibly mixed feelings on religion, I like to expose myself to all forms of worship...and I love all holidays, except Yom Kippur.
Beck and I went to a Black Baptist Church for Easter services. I could count less than a dozen Caucasians. The (two hour long) service was fun. It was very cool-full of dancing and clapping and "Hallelujah!'s". T. I think religion should be about happiness and celebration of faith and I loved that these people we singing their hearts out and dancing. There was a real sense of unity there, and everyone was incredibly welcoming.
The congregation made all the first time guests stand up and say our names and where we were from into a microphone. Becki thinks the "Amen" we got was extra loud, but I was too nervous to notice since any form of public speaking scares the shit out of me. They did give us a sweet welcome gift bag afterward, though.
We even got free breakfast of eggs, potatoes, biscuits and gritz.
Can I get an Amen for free food?
Another cool thing was the Zombie Walk. I didn't participate, but I took tons of pictures. People were so confused as to what was happening and had mixed reactions-smiles "WTF?!" and one girl even cried.
