for the first time, Stu is frank and overemotional

Besides my wonderful aunt barbara (the redneck), it seems that no one gives a big fat rat butt about wanderingstu.com . being neurotic and isolated on a hill in the west bank with a bunch of ultra-orthodox warriors, i feel the need for some love from my old school gang all the more acutely. even my mom and sister don't read the blog. my own sister doesn't even email me. even elijah, who i dressed and bathed and taught how to pee standing up doesn't email me. tommy is probably passed out somewhere in the Mission, so he has an excuse, but otherwise, the only thing sadder than my friends abandoning me is the ridiculous babyish way in which i am whining about it. but it's true. i could list names, but i won't.

so i thought i'd let you know here, since you never write:

i quit HUC, am moving to Bat Ayin full time to claim the land in the name of Hashem, who promised it to our forefathers. the rabbis here have introduced me to a nice young girl, Rivka Sarah. She is 19, and is almost done with her army service. we met and had coffee a week ago, then i took her to dinner last night, and after shabbat i am going to propose to her. i will be learning here for the next 5 years, then i will be an orthodox rabbi, after which i will, with God's help, move to Hebron to help keep the enemy away from the Maarat Machpelah, the tomb of our ancestors Avraham, Yitzhak and Yaakov. the arabs think it is theirs, and i am ready to fight for the truth.
