Priscilla and I were talking about our creative juices, and how we would judge their current and past rates on a scale of flowing, oozing, or dribbling- (for those who have experienced the phenomenom that is our friendship the conversation was actually pretty typical). And my creative juices have been drip dropping at physics-defyingly slow intervals and it is probably one of the most discouraging causes for my (now chronic) despondancy.
And college-goers, here's a pang of nostalgia if you didn't already know (which why would you know?): the homecoming picnic is tomorrow. I'll be the one manning the Amigo's booth nachos because the Underground Book Exchange never got off the ground (in part because a book club already exists, in part because i never liked the idea that much and no matter how i spin it the club still sounds elitist, and in part because i am too lazy to make it into anything interesting)
Anddd what else
Veronica won Homecoming Princess, which is amazing but I can't help but find it sort of funny at the same time because the high distinguishment does not keep her from being dragged into the hermit lunchtime corner of me and Priscilla and AK, with Chelsea Rinden, Kristine Sosa and Jin Min making their appearences
Priscilla claims I have a cult of Tiger-reading followers, which is also funny because all my articles blowwww and are pretty much me busting out bullshit during the class period, imitating what i think a newspaper article sounds like with all the pep and shallow wit.
Oh by the way what does anyone have anything to contribute about the Undergound West Coast Hip-Hop scene?
I tried uploading some Israeli stuff by the way, but it won't compress the characters or something. I never did finish that post. I never really elaborated on how confused I was the entire time about what I was doing there, and what a fake and a spy I really was during the whole experience (an aspect that brought its share of interesting and bizarre moments) and how the Israeli mardrachiim (counselors) were some of the most amazing people I have and will probably ever meet.
Short descriptions, for necessities sake: (because i have been imbibing lots of new AP information and the trip memories are going to seep out of me soon enough, and it cost too much for me to let it seep)

native Russian and bubby, not very good English speaker but expert at dancing and advising (sometimes at the same time) I borrowed her high rank military shirt when i was playing a zealot for this activity, when we went into the old city I unknowingly enraged and confused many legitemate soldiers

"Subject: Shopping With Yoel
Hi guys,
I don't know if you know this but I don't exactly like shopping.
But the day comes when even I have got to get off the couch and go to the supermarket.
Some of you girls must be saying to themselves that going to the supermarket isn't really considered shopping, well I have news for you, the supermarkets today are not as they used to be – they are big and they include everything (including clothes, toys and bubble gum).
I have had the same good old toothbrush for a while now, and it became a little fuzzy and lost it's color. I know that it isn't nice to throw out things or people just because they are old, but in this case i simply had to listen to my dentist.
So I stood in front of the toothbrush shelf in the supermarket, shelf... well i it was more like a toothbrush ally, which maid me quite confused.
There were at least 5 different companies with something like forty different kinds. There were flexible ones soft ones and hard ones, at first I picked up one which was called Total so I thought what could be better than that?
But then there was another called Advantage, a dilemma arose in my head, furthermore I started reading what was written on the packages and apparently it is just as complicated as rocket science.
There is one which is called 360 degrees I wonder how you would use that?
In the end I simply took the cheapest one, not because of its price, but because it had nice colors (I love rainbows).
And now as if that all wasn't enough I need to find a backpack witch can carry a laptop since my previous backpack which I had since 8th grade is kind of turn apart.
So if you have any good shopping advice you know how to contact me.
Yoel"
Orni!
so beautiful! She is only 20, grew up in France, just moved to India, drove a tank in the army. We shared love of Miles Davis and Billie Holiday. One day she brought a musician friend over to her room with an Oobie(?) instrument and made me and my friend herbal tea with leaves from the Kibbutz
embarrassed hilarity characteristic of our interactions with the madrichiim
this is the uncomfortabley nude birthday wakeup of Tom
tom and orni always played tom's recorder to the misery of the kids. i took part in one of two recorder kidnapping conspiracies
Tom was aloof, wore that hat all the time, somehow stretched the reading of Slaughterhouse Five over six weeks and played Leonard Cohen in the bus. Seemed content with leadership even when he had no idea what was going on. I often laughed just looking at him. Reminded me of myself. Now traveling around Spain for whatever reason
And then other freaks and geeks and fun and insanity
our very rotund, red faced, and conspicuously neckless "principal" Baruch not around much, but when he was told empassioned, long breathed speeches during which most slept until awakened by mention of a biblical prostitutes or stories of his reckless youth holding up embassies. ashamed and appalled of lack of fervor in jewish youth.

aaron-jewish dayschool attendee and future rabbi. this was his hebrew speaking face. generally regarded as a douchebag when he wasn't bitching out the bitches

Kibbutz hamster wheel
Heather...oh Heather. The Israeli baseball game we attended by the way was the first major league IBL(Israeli Baseball League) game. Pitifully small with folding chairs and about 45 attendees including the burger stand and 30 american students. The players were recruited from areas of Florida. Mira and Aaron got up midway to request singing Take me Out to the Ballgame" and succeeded

Itamar the Israeli boy brought us noodles. Outed himself to my friend Leah by relating how he didn't just "like" Dumbeldore. He reallly liked Dumbeldore, followed by a "shhh don't tell." Confession has taken on new implications in light of the new Dumbeldore discovery
Israelis dancing in the bomb shelter club (which has super cool alien and blues brothers wall painting not to mention the pimp chair seen above and a dj booth)Left Israeli named "Chen" (pronounced Hen) only seemed to know the English phrase "I'm cute!" and had biting habits. Right Danielle was like 14 and skeezed on one of the 17 year old girls. As and more ridiculous than this picture portrays.
glorious comingling of the animal kingdom by the jordan river: ducks, chickens, and peacocks swarmed our camp site in the north. We had to brush away the ducks from our sleeping bags and food.

and then you know...
