the time has come, the walrus said
to talk of many things.
of shoes, an ships, and ceiling wax. of cabbages and kings.
and why the sea is boiling hot
and where pigs have wings.

It has been a little crazy around here. Grades have been good. Heart, ehhh. Trying not to pay too much attention to it. Eyes...I've got them on a freshman and I really think that that is SO incredibly creepy. And he thinks I'm crazy because we always have these awkward encounters in the stairwell or the lunchroom. I almost ran him over with cranberry juice the other day.
He thinks I'm nuts.
oh dear,
it's been hardly a moment and you are already missed
there is still a bit of your skin
that i have yet to kiss

"Wishing Heart" by Lisa Loeb
No teacher to follow, no prophet to tell me how,
But I know what I want, I know what I want now.
Like water, it rushes,
it's the last thing you see when you close your eyes,
it's the one place you want to be.
But if it doesn't brush my shoulder, and it doesn't beat my heart,
that's not what I want, that's not where I will start.
I never kissed somebody so that they would break my heart,
that's not what I want.
If you don't know what you're missing
cause you don't know where to start,
follow your wishing heart.
I was restless,
I just want this to be good,
But you don't understand,
You don't understand me, and I want to be understood.
But if it doesn't brush my shoulder,
And it doesn't beat my heart,
That's not what I want - no, that's not where I will start.
I never kissed somebody so that they would break my heart,
That's not what I want.
If we all leap before we crawl, we might fall,
And it's not always candy spun from head to heart,
And it's not always meant to be,
And it's not always up to me.
But if it doesn't brush my shoulders, and it doesn't beat my heart.
That's not what I want, that's not where I will start.
I never kissed somebody so that they would break my heart,
That's not what I want.
If you don't know what you're missing,
'Cause you don't know where to start,
You don't know what you're missing
Follow your wishing heart.

I promise to post some pictures soon. I'll have a lot of free time on my hands with the no eating policy and all.
This weekend has really been great so far. But, now that I'm home, I just feel lonesome.

I feel extremely relieved. Relieved from a whole bunch of things. Mainly this week. This week has been so bitter and crammed and just plain old crappy. But it's the weekend! It's a long weekend (fasting or not---it's a three day weekend! Beggars can't be choosy.) I don't have much work to do and I'm probably going to purchase my Olivetti at last---along with a pair of sugar boots, maybe?!?! I need to treat myself.
Sake bombing in St. Marx and hookah tomorrow night with Rachey, Hannah, Hillary, and Gabby.
wahoo :)
Ben leaves for Israel really soon.
Really, really soon.
Good news is: HE'S COMING HOME FOR WINTER BREAK! AND WE HAVE LIMMUD TOGETHER!
I couldn't be more thrilled. It would be too hard being away from him for a full year.

Things are good.
Certainly not great, but very very good.
My day went really well. Flew by quickly. I got a bunch of nice grades back.
27/30 on my Hebrew poem (haha I rhymed limonada with Guatemala and somehow I did well on that!)
B+ on Mr. Gross essay (yipee!)
blahblah who cares.
I AM GOING TO THE BAHAMAS WITH MY BEST FRIEND IN FEBRUARY.
I have two spares tomorrow.
I am excited for Empire Maz's minty fresh '06-'07 fundraiser (brace yourselves!)
Things to look forward to:
Seeing "The Last Kiss" with E.Fox some time soon
Grey's Anatomy on Thursday (!!)
Drawing more butterfly tattoos on Harrison's arm tomorrow
Possible sleepovers
Things to dread:
Fasting for Yom Kippur
Ben leaving for Israel for a year
Tanach/Rabbinics/A. History/Bio quizzes in the next three days
Have I mentioned it is fabulous having my shoes back? Because it is.
Oh, and to answer an inquiry from a previous entry
The almonds are on the bottom of the box, Talia.
Someone remind me this next time I complain about cereal.
Also, I found this on AOL tonight.
Question No. 4:
Is Waldo Risque?
Naughty beach scene lands him among banned books!
I would still like to get high.
Just once. Just to see how it feels.

Honestly? I'm thinking a big N-O on the whole Machon thing.
It'd be silly to take the same exact trip two years in a row+ Year Course.
I'm not saying I'm definitely not going, but there's a chance that I'm going to just be home this upcoming summer...working maybe...I really don't know.
I think it'd be good being home for a summer. It hasn't happened in years. I'd like to see the 4th of July fireworks the last summer I'm home.
Hmm

There are so many things that I'm wondering right now---
How did I know to check my text messages at 4:00 AM and have one from Ben?
How did I wake up on the THIRD FREAKING week of school with a fever!? Missing work. NO NO NO.
When did I turn into a vulnerable girl?
When did I turn into a girl at all?
And now that I am a girl...why are things sucking so bad?
Why do people make things more complicated than they need to be?
Why don't they put enough almonds in Honey Bunches of Oats w/ Almonds?
I am an over reactor. Or rather, someone who requests the impossible from other people. Is there a word for that sort of person?
I guess I've always needed
To be needed by someone.
It's a comforting feeling
Being under someone's thumb.
So just be gentle with me
And I'll be gentle with you
yup?

Joshua Radin- "Closer" |
] |
Due to the negative feedback I've been getting about all my school rambling...this is going to be a school-free post!
Aside from my feet being extremely happy to have their shoe-friends back, I've had a good week too.
I got to sleep in a little bit today (10:30...eh) and walked into town with my dad and Arel to do some errands, and then I got to go driving with them to the florist because we needed to look at flowers for the big BAR-MITZVAH (ahhh!). Then I got a call from Ron and he came over later on in the day. We went to the shadey looking Piermont basketball court and I almost beat him, but then I lost my lucky streak and he beat me in the end. We went by the pier and into Nyack. He parallel parks nicely.
Anyways, tomorrow's going to be lots of shul, lots of food, and lots of nothing. I don't really have any homework which is lovely.
I want to go into the city on Sunday. Takers?

I think I am going to drop my art course, because the teacher is a bitch and she gives us HOMEWORK. Like I don't have enough of that already! I don't need that. Besides art, everything has been really great! So far I've had a quiz in Torah which I somehow scored a 10/10 on and a lab that I got a 100 on and I REALLY hope I did well on my in-class essay for Gross that I had yesterday. Today we went to the "WE STAND WITH ISRAEL AND AGAINST TERRORISM" rally. Colossal nightmare. People everywhere, but I got to see Ronit (sort of), Itai, Matt, a bunch of Frisch kids I went to middle school with, and Ben and Dan. HA! Two ex-boyfriends in one day. Rock onnnnnnn!!
Needless to say, I got to miss class today for that and I saw some neat people.
Tomorrow's bio test is going to be the end of me.
OH, AND ALSO, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO KNEW ABOUT THOSE CRAZY MISPLACED SHOES OF MINE...............I FOUND THEM!
Actually, Arel did. But same thing.

I have a lot of things to say, but I know that I really, really am sleep deprived, so I'll make it quick for my own benefit.
So, I've been inspired. Well, I mean, I'm inspired by many people. Even people who read this silly journal. But really inspired this time. I've had great english teachers before. Freshman and sophomore year I had this one particular teacher who I thought was somewhat inspiring, but in the end he just let me down and ripped apart my hope of becoming a writer, and he just wasn't very nice or stable at all. But I think this time it is different. Don't get me wrong...after a few crappy grades on essays and tedious work and mounds of vocabulary tests my opinion could feasibly change, but that would make sense, I suppose. Because students are going to be bias when given a hard time by a teacher, but I'd like to stick with my idea of being inspired by this one particular person.
So, we're in the lit mag meeting, Zach and I, and Johanna (a senior...and the current editor who's job I'm taking over) is talking about Massachusetts and Henry David Thoreau and Walden Pond and Mr. Gross looks at her and goes "You NEED understand. You need to make this an experience. You need to wear L.L Beane boots and you need to write poetry and you need to snapshot the pond and you need to breath and absorb every moment you spend there, because besides it's physical splendor, some of the most beautiful literature was written there and that lingers in the air. All of that history. And it doesn't get much better than that."
And it really made me see how much this man loves what he does and really loves literature and really appreciates words. And I thought it was very beautiful.\
On a less serious note, I had my first driving lesson today. My instructor's name is Jimmy and he is a really really large Spanish man. He's nice though and he said I was really good for a first-timer :-D!!!

Alan Dershowitz frustrates me.
Read The Case for Israel and tell me what you think.
I'm indecisive.
