re: the actual entry: i think rituals can be awesome in a--remembering history sense. my only real sense of ritual is from when i celebrate passover with my dad's girlfriend's family, where it seems like all the rituals are there to remind you of the history of the jews. i think that's kinda cool. otherwise i'm so distanced from them except for my few extremely personal ones (that are a holdover from when i was afraid of the monsters in the closet) that i can only look on them in a perplexed fashion. "oh, look! they're all standing! hm!"
