A friend of mine was writing about her reactions to Yom Kippur. It's a locked post, so I won't point you there or quote her by name, but it invokes me, by LJ username, as someone who is probably upset that she doesn't fast or otherwise observe the holiday.

My reaction was, basically, "Who, me? Me, who has a nice chicken tikka coming from the Indian takeout place?" I posted that; she hasn't responded.

It really feels as though she's remembering a conversation with someone else, and putting my name on it. I'm a pinko New York humanist; around here "Jewish" is part of an ethnicity.

Hrm...I didn't even remember you were Jewish (but then, I was fasting and offline for the holiday myself).

But I'm not particularly upset by someone who doesn't do as I do; I'm not even particularly religious myself
