Some People Are Just Real

Knowing that my blog is read widely and open to everyone, I definitely keep certain things to myself. Sometimes there are amazing and fun or sad and upsetting things that you just don't want to share. I have been keeping one of those (positive ones) to myself lately and have decided it was time to share. :)I have been chatting with Mayim Bialik (of Blossom and Big Bang Theory fame) since April or May. It's very cool. She came to Colorado to hear the Maccabeats play the Boulder Jewish Festival and we became friendly there. We have become penpals of a sort and I really enjoy talking to her. She is one of those people who are utterly fun and sweet and makes you feel super comfortable.I was recently reading an interview with her by another SUPER awesome and fun Jewish chick named Gaby Dunn. She is a hilarious comedian and fabulous writer. Gaby really encapsulates the "Mayim Experience" very well in her latest blog. Mayim is a dynamic and awesome chick and I am very glad to count her as a friend. She is a real person. One not affected by fame or power (at least when you know her) who knows what she wants in life. Not to mention that her approach to Judaism is my current inspiration and I think I might convert from Talish to Jewyim because I like the way she works it. :)I encourage you all to read Gaby's interview with Mayim here - 100 Interviews: #69 Mayim Bialik and investigate her site. Her 100 interviews project is pretty amazing and I only wish I could qualify to be one! :) (Ya hear that, Gaby? Got a spot for a rebel rabbi's daughter with yichus out the wazoo?)And remember this: Never judge a person. Not based on a limited opinion. Gained either by the tabloids or gossip. Getting to know someone is incredibly exciting and you may fall into an inspiring situation like me!
