Last time

This is about as close to a Burning Bush/Lion King shot as I can get without having a. a burning bush or b. a lion
There are Josh and Adina walking up the path towards our home. Isn't it pretty?
Josh is telling you to wait/hold on (depending on the context)--this is in front of our building. My room is the door on the left that's open.
A pretty flower shot outside my room....
---------------------------
I promise after this no more two-blogs one-day, aval I feel that I haven't given enough credit to the beauty of the place where I live...

Second time

Who is cuter? Boy or dog? Both probably either have fleas or need a hair cut..
This kid is always smiling; you can tell from this shot I think... I didn't have to work hard to get it, all I had to do was point the camera at him. If my Hebrew was better, I'd ask him why he is always smiling, but I'm not at the point yet where I can host philosophical conversations in Hebrew. Too bad..
Action shot.
He might be smoking his cigarette while playing baseball, but this is only further proof of the cross-cultural melting pot present on my lovely, favourite Kibbutz. Oh, and emo boy. Also, I believe Khen (guy on the left) is looking at me in this foto, but I'm on the clear other end of the field. Any guesses?
------

Second weekend and probably last weekend spent on the Kibbutz... I stuck around to meet a friend, but he never showed up. Ah, well. He's back in the army now I suspect, so I won't get a chance to meet him any other time this weekend; they probably had fun at the pub last night.

As did I. However, at a completely different pub about an hour south of where they were, so whoo-ee. It was basically a metal barn with alcohol inside of it... and a bit pricey too. And I was still feeling a bit sickly and not up for the stupidity of picking up stupid males, so even though our group was fun, it wasn't the mood I was in.

Oh! And I made a new friend. Her name is Shiran. Funny how I'm not shy or anything in front of girls, but with guys about, I clam up. Since when did I become a girls girl?

Why does Af Ehad mean Nobody when it literally translates to One Nose? Can someone explain please?
Thanks

Being a Sickly Pear is not on my to-do list

I'm a sick one. I'm also mean. Being sick, however, makes me extra mean, and apparently when I'm on any kind of pain medication recently not only do I feel dizzy and drunk without the drinking, but additionally I enter a state of mind where I feel the need to be honest--and bluntly so-- every time I open my mouth. Ohhhhh man that would have been fun with one of the guys.... I really wanted to slug him across the face and make his chin all nice and shiny... but I was incredibly dizzy and it hurt my head to move and they were all walking to fast... He's lucky. I was feeling mean.

Anyway! Point is I have/had the flu, got my antibiodics this morning. Actually, one of them makes my mouth numb so I can eat food and drink things without my throat hurting. It's really nice. And it has a beautiful burning sensation.

I woke up at the first class period beginning and decided to sleep until the second half, when we were working on spoken Arabic supposedly, because that's also the part I don't know. I ended up at the Marp (camp for nurse) and got my meds and joined for the second half... but after I had my bowl of cereal for lunch I skipped the second class and spent the day in bed. (please don't say 'your mom'; i might punch you in the face)

Aaaaand now it's 3:40 in the morning, and I'm writing a blog instead of going to sleep because I'm so restless. But I'm tiiiiired. Why am I not sleeping??? Being sicky sucks.

P.S. To keep up-to-date on the drama/gossip/fun stuff:
Y continues to call despite the fact that I ignore his calls, texts, and facebook IMs. I have very little to talk about with T unless Y is around, and then I have quite a bit to say. E (our Kibbutz Director) has a nephew (R) who's interested in my roommate... they shook hands once when we went to check out the gym where he works. She now knows, but they have not had a chance to talk. Too bad. We will work on changing that throughout the week.

Axis of Evil Comedy Tour!

Is absolutely hilarious. Go watch on youtube. 

On another side note, I'm tired. Very much. Night.

With milk... ugh.... I'm going to regret this choice tomorrow...
