To describe me takes talent... all I can say is, "Come back here and i'll bite your legs off!"
Thats my favorite line from Monty Pythons-The Holy Grail...
If I haven't scared you off with that brief introduction, i guess you deserve to read some more about me.

Babysitting was not half as long as I thought it would be. I did not make and even bigger dent in the book. I should go do that now though. Goodness! I want to give it back so badly! I dont like it very much and it fragile... these heavy big hardcover books are evil! anyway, the moon is really nice tonight if anyone is interested... g'night mush
And once again the sun is in my eyes as I try to type, hmmmm... Today was busy. I was at school most of the time. I got attacked by a pigeon in Loris apartment and then my foot feel asleep really badly on the bus. Big plans for tonight! I am babysitting and hopefully that means that I will finish, dum dum dum... Robert Jordan! We'll see :)
Today has been a slow day. I havent done much of anything, but I know that tomorrow I have stuff to do in school, so getting through today isnt so bad.
Shabbat was enjoyable. Friday night I wore my new sandals. They are comfortable and as Sara says, so not me. I got to Aviv and saw dina and yael and erica. I am sorry if anyone thought I was trying to be evil. It wasnt my idea, really. It was coincedence. And I dont know if I "got what I wanted". I had a peaceful relaxing shabbos afternoon. A book, sleep, and warmth. what else could you ask for? Lori watched Kate and Leopold with Brenda, so I had to find something else to do. So I kept myself busy, by not doing much of anything. But I am content and warm and believe it or not, sleepy. So gnight mush
This morning started out SO nice. I woke up and then went to the pool with Ima and Raizi. It was really really nice. The pool is more crowded in the morning, but it sure is a good start to the day. Mommy made me an omlette for breakfast and then we went out to do some shopping. Cherries, huge grapes, necterines... delicious fruit! I love summer fruits. like these ones for example. I am going to babysit in a couple of minutes and catch up on more of my reading. maybe i'll post again later if the mood strikes me. or else i might watch grease or even go to sleep early and get to school on time for my bagrut tomorrow...

I was right. This week is a busy one! And profitable. My morning started out nice. I always know that it is going to be a nice morning when I pop out of bed when my alarm clock rings. This rarely happens, but its a really nice feeling and I wish it WOULD happen more often. I think i'll have to experiment and see what makes this particular miracle occur. Ora, who slept over last night was still sleeping like a log, so I left her there while I went to get ready to go to school. Dont worry, I woke her up with plenty of time for her to get ready. I discovered this morning that Ora really will eat anything. I am not brave enough to taste plum jam. Or israeli peanut butter. and least of all together. But I have proved to my own satisfaction that Ora really will eat anything as long as it isnt associated with yogurt. Which I knew, but now I really know... whatever. forget it. I guess this is only funny if you know Ora :) We love you anyway! After school, Raizi and I headed to town. We went in search of: 1)earrings 2)sandals 3)a skirt 4)a tee shirt 5)finding out the price of sweatshirts 6)food-since our stomaches were rumbling anyway. We found some earrings, no sandals, no skirts, some really nice tee shirts, no sweatshirt prices, and food. All in all, it was pretty profitable, for Raizi that is ;) Lori, we have to get Ima some earrings. the ones that we said are weird, but you wear them. I found a cute pair today actually. They were silver and light blue and not to long or heavy I think. We ran and caught the 420 with no seconds to spare. And then got home at a normal time. At 7:15 I got an interesting ride to the Clarks. I walked into the house and Judy looked at me and said, "hmmm, I forgot to call you didnt I?" So she drove me home and I came back an hour later. Doesnt matter much to me. I read tons of this big heavy book. I am going to give it back soon! I promise! I want to finish it already! Now It is pretty late since I have a very full day planned for tomorrow, even though I dont have school. Yay for me! g'night mush
The 417s were acting funny this morning, so I missed half of my only class that I had in school today. It was ok though, because Shira and Sara didnt show up at all (no, wait, Shira got there for the last five minutes). And I saw Raizi and we even made plans for tomorrow after our tanch classes, so it'll be cool. Ora is sleeping over tonight. We are studying for chemistry :) And working on stuff for the yearbook. And well, yeah... I babysat at the Clarks tonight also. I got in some much needed reading in that hour and a half. They are such funny people and I am actually managing to plow my way through this never ending heavy volume of Robert Jordons nasty series. At least I will be able to give the book back soon. I think that is a good thing. This week is going to be so busy as today proved. I am very ahppy about that, because last week was torture. I was so bored! But I had to study, blah, that is never something to be so happy about. especially when its chemistry we are talking about here. Time is moving and there are still a couple of things to do before I shut my eyes and pray for sleep. Therefore, although sitting here listening to some new songs that I took from Michalie (thank you Michalie :) enjoy the ones you got! If you want more, come and we'll find you some!) and typing is very enjoyable and relaxing, actually, I must sign off and say... g'night mush
Today started out slow, but like all good things got better and better. I was very bored this morning and actually did the laundry which mommy asked me to do. And then later when she "suggested" that I sweep from the top floor all the way down to the kitchen, I did that too. Ok, ok, I got it. In the dead of night, you and I grab some provisions, hijack one of those long boats, and row back to spain like there's no manyana...
Well, its NOT a pry bar...
Sorry bout those... I dont know how those random lines keeping getting stuck in.
Where's my Apple?!?!
Mommy bought me Grease today. That is a good movie! I watched it once and a half today. I also got a fawafel and went swimming. I had to go swimming all by my lonesome self, but it was nice. I got lots and lots of swimming done. And I even had a lane all to myself for fifteen minutes. So, You still like Harvey better than me? huh?
Were you going to say worse? Ummmm, no... At least we're in a row boat! Right!
Whoa!
I have a piano lesson in the morning. And I need to study some more for my assorted last bagruyiot that are coming up. hmmm... tomorrow will do and sunday and monday and tuesday and... aiyeee...
I am sitting on my bed again, now with tears running down my face. No, I am not crying, I am laughing. My sister never fails to amuse me or give me something to worry about. Sisters! You gotta love them :) Anyways, Its late as you can see. Since I woke up this morning more on the early side, I think I will turn in for the night and dream of Little Women, since I just finished watching it...
I have a very pleasent scene running through my mind. It involves the movie thats playing on my computer and a book that is sitting next to me on my bed. Right now, two people are walking down an empty street and they stop to watch the traffic light change from red to yellow to green. This is what is showing on the screen, not the scene that is running through my mind. I think I want some popcorn.
This morning I went with my mother to the nursery to pick out big pots for her to plant in. So we found three really big planters and then I carried them all upstairs to the roof. The last one was the heaviest, but Ima and I split the job fifty fifty. I carried it to the car, she carried it into the house. She carried it to the middle floor and then I brought it to the roof. It was really heavy. It is going to be one of those gosh darn heavy pots that you cant move, onces its filled with soil and basil plants.
I love it when the weather is nice :) It always it a plus. I don't know what to do today. I dont really even have a list. Well, I guess there are the things that can always be done. Like, clean up loris closet, rearrange my bookshelves, study for chemistry, help do stuff around the house. hmmm, I've got to think on this one...
At six thirty, we left Loris office and headed down Rechov Yafo. Somehow, Lori always finds the good clothes, and what a nice shirt it is! Great find Lors! Lori treated me to supper and got me Raviolis... They are yummy! And I ate my little tomatoes unlike Lori, who left them sitting in their bowl, forlorn and sad looking :( I'm sure they forgive you anyway. We also drank ice coffees and they were yummy too! But that meant that we werent in the mood for ice cream, so we walk to the park and lay down and looked at the stars and talked about silly people and stupidity (come to think of it, a lot of the stuff that we talked about started with "s". hmmmm) Finally my legs fell asleep so we decided to walk back to TM. Well, since the Old city was closer, we walked there. Hey, you can never go wrong with that choice! We davened ma'ariv at the kotel and then used up all of our spare change and this time... we didnt have to chase the old people! Yay! Next, we walked up all the stairs and I decided that it was time for ice cream and ices. So we left the old city with pizza and throat coolers :) Did I name them well? We caught a bus and that got me to TM on time for the 416. Lori, you will never believe it! It was a low down bus that you feel like you are going to fall off of it... but the view is so much prettier than in middle of the day like that! It was a comfortable bus ride. My feet didnt fall asleep and there was tons of extra room. It was good. Then I got home and am updating for the second time today, due to a request. Sorry it seems so blunt, but i've had a long day and it is late and I am usually candid anyway. Remember: Are you good for anything? That is a general question. No offence... :) g'night mush again hehehe...
What to say? What to say? Well, I am currently sitting in Lori's office and typing because I am waiting for her to finish doing nothing, which is what her job at work entails today. We have another fifteen minutes to go and then we are going to have a fun story-filled evening. My toshbah bagrut went pretty well today! I looked at the first question and was like, hey! well this is easy! And so I answered them, like you are supposed to. It was all good. My bus ride to school was funny at least. And it wasnt overly crowded and the bus didnt smell TOO bad. Why do people leave half filled yogurt containers stuck between the seats?! ew... 74 year old womens feet... Thats all folks? g'night mush
I think today was my last day of classes. Notice how I only think that today was. I am pretty sure that it was, but you never know? or do you? Don't fret little people, I still have matkonot and bagruyoit and all that fun stuff and even some more random tanach classes, but I never have another day of organized high school classes. I feel old. Not really, but everyone has been saying it lately and so it came to mind and found its way onto the page. Is it weird that I feel no emotional attachment to my "last day of school"? Is this like, my childhood is gone forever and now I am expected to be an adult, because I doubt that is ever going to happen. I am not in the mood to grow up, so there. Ok, enough ot this. Lori, if you happen to read this before I see you, I want you to know that tonights agenda was not my idea, so dont blame me...
Brenda is busy informing me that she has a paper clip collection, which she counts while she is talking to people on AIM.Actually, she is AWAY from the computer while she's counting, but do we have to get into detail? She also likes to eat strawberries! (This information can be found in the Book of Brenda. To find out more contact...
The sunset is more than beautiful this evening. The sun is a a bright reddish-orangish color. Its kind of cool to watch it sink behind the mountains in the far off distance, or not as far as I once thought. That was quick, well, its gone and now I need to find something else to write about. The bus ride home brings back fond memories. It was a new 416 bus and not crowded at all! I sat by myself, Indian-style, listening to Kashmir Orchestra play "All My Love" and I was having a very nice time. In the background, Yael was laughing and Sara was sleeping and Talya was (as always) studying for some test or another. I admire the dedication of that girl. Keep up the good work, now that school is almost over! Officially classes end at the end of next week, which is good news, although I only have three "days" of classes left anyway. Funny story: It was 11:50 and I was done with school. I called Lori and reminded her that me, her, and Brenda were supposed to get together later. Like at 3:30. So I waited 45 minutes and then went to find Brenda (the wait was because class had started and there was no way to reach the silly girl.) When I went down to her classroom, Tamar asked me why I was there and I couldnt spot Brenda anywhere. Nor could I think really, because all of her classmates were saying hello and Michal was asking me about my pink pizza. Turns out, Brenda did not go to school today, so I called Lori, gave her the latest update, and we decided that I should go home, which I did. And then came the really nice bus ride. Lori! You didnt tell me about the ringing pancake. I guess it was payback for the computer, but I really didnt remember when I saw you the day before. I guess I'll go back to cleaning up my room now, so that we can make a new mess in it tomorrow. This is a vicious, never ending cycle. g'night mush
I dont know what to write tonight. Tomorrow morning is going to be awful. Tomorrow night should be interesting. Today was strange and the book store is the most unhelpful place that I have been in for a long while. Sleep? poor alexander!
Usually when I spend all day at home, I think to myself, "hmmmm, well today was boring and what other words can I use to describe it? not very many." Today the word gory takes precedence over boring. I hate cats. Good bye Urky.
That is the problem with sundays. I dont have very many classes. I have one the first hour and one the last and I am free to do whatever I want in between, hence, why I blogged. As for what a blog is for, well mine started out to be for myself. The title of my blog, from one birthday to the next, is in fact siginicant, not just pulled out of a hat at random. It was meant for me to write to myself and who ever was interested enough to read it. On my birthday, I plan on reread my blog, from start to finish and see how I have changed and if I have grown or learnt anything from my experiences this past year. To tell you the truth though, half way through the year I realized just how dangerous information is and so I stopped writing about my entire day and speaking the whole of my mind. When there are too many prying eyes and ears, it is safer to stick to writing in my old notebook. And after some other interesting encounters I stopped posting daily and I'm sure I missed a couple of weeks a few times. Recently I have started blogging frequently again, but I dont talk about anything to serious or deep. Everyone expresses their feelings in different ways. My sister for example, makes full use of her blog as an outlet for her emotions. Some other people pour their hearts out through their eyes. Others talk a lot and make their emotions flow throughout a room. Hey, some even make music. But I have not yet found a way in which I can express myself to my fullest without having everyone watch and become more depressed by the minute. I am not deppessed though. "There is always tomorrow," has been floating through my head recently. So I know that even if I dont do things to my satisfaction the first time round, well its not the end of the world, because however annoying it is, you can do most of them again. So having started my week with a wonderful, if strained mood, I hope to discover all the secrets that this week holds and make the most of them :)
I am in school. This is the first and probably the only time that I will blog from school. I was in the mood and these two strange things kept talking to me about messy hair, and got me in the mood to blog. I don't think that this is such a bad thing. Is it? I have a free now, don't worry, I am not cutting class. I have the strangest Sunday schedule. But funny things always happen, so I dont mind so much. It took a really long time to get to school today. Rachelie and I decided to catch the 417 since we were running late. The first bus didnt come and neither did all the other buses that were supposed to come. Finally at a little after eight, a bus pulled up and let us on. I didnt know that we looked that intimidating. The bus wasnt crowded at all, so we got to sit as we waited in traffic. That is always a plus. But the traffic was, well, traffic. We got to Jerusalem in time to catch a bus that would get us to school only a few minutes late, but alas the 21 didnt cooperate as usual and so we were very late to first class. This wasnt such a big problem for me since we were just taking turns running in gym class. I have really resigned myself to being average. I hate this feeling. But what else can I do when my brain wont comply to my wishes? Oh well, I cant do anything about it now, so there is no point worrying about it. After sport, I was bored. I still am bored, and disappointed. But yeah, I think I am going to be bored all day. And to think that I have stuff to do. I am going to fail my chemistry bagrut. I failed everything else, so it only stands to reason. Wait, I remember passing english which was one of the stupidest things I have ever taken and no, I didnt really take it seriously. If I remember correctly, I wrote an essay about how marvelous Peter Pan is. I should go review for my ezrachut test that I am going to take soon. If I pass, well, then I pass... If I dont then, I guess I really am, yeah, hi.
Deep thought for the day: Lets all decide what we want from life and work toward that goal. Yes things are going to stand in the way, but forget me. There are bigger things out there and I am in the mood to meet a funny person. Maybe from Australia...
Wow! Shabbat was really really nice! I am in a good mood :) I finished the book Raizi! and now I just need the other one back, and then I'll need to look for a new author. hehehe... I am really not in a talkative mood. I think I'll be quiet now.
I had a sha'at efes this morning. So I got up and went. Lori came with me into Jerusalem and tohear all about her day, well... i'ms ure she'll post later, so stop wondering about her cause this post is about me... hahaha... just kidding lori! You are my favorite older sister :) But this is my blog and my post, so I wont concern myself with your affairs... how many are you having? O-K then... My teacher didnt come, so I didnt have any classes today. The tekes was nice, but the choir this year wasnt so good. Last year they were amazing and I think the choir teacher is grasping at straws... They also dont have so many good voices. Just squeaky ones and israeli ones. Thankfully, they gave the solo to a girl who does have a normal nice singing voice. It took two hours to get home. Sara and Yael crack me up! Did you get bus-sick from the ride Raizi? At home I found some food, helped make soup, did some other stuff and then went to the shul to help set up for the breakfast tomorrow. The room looks decent and the festival committee might just pull this off. My favorite line that I heard today: "I love drugs!" followed by "I had a massive headache..." dont worry, we are a safe community. I got home and found Abba. He was sweeping the street. I asked him what he wanted for supper. He said he wasnt really hungry, but maybe we could make steak and ice tea... I offered him apple pie to go with it. Does he know that its ISRAELI independence day and not America?
Yesterday my parents drove me to Bat Ayin. I think, if its a fun place like that then they actually like driving. Mommy commented how the road would be a pefect place to ski. There was only one point wrong with that statement though... ummmm, snow? It is a really cool place and really pretty too. I just dont know why the girls cant take better care of their rooms. They all complain about the spiders, but they sort of invite them in by not cleaning up or even getting rid of the spiders when they spot one. I am not against spiders, if fact I share my room with some really cute ones, who live in the corners on my ceiling, but how do the girls not move the ones that spin webs next to their beds? When there is a spider web between your bed and your night table, wouldnt you move it? But besides for that, it is a really nice place and I think I could have lots of fun working there. Now I just have to meet the director in the next couple of weeks and we'll see what happens!
I have to leave for school soon because we are going to go picture crazy and take pictures for our yearbook. I hope we get the girls to co-operate and we do print the silly book in the end. I realized a few weeks ago, that I have been in that school for three years. That is a long time. And I guess I feel like I belong. Which is a good thing. But now its ending and we are all going to make our own way in the big scary world. hmmmm...
This week should continue to be interesting I think... Lets wait and find out! and maybe even keep you posted???
I am a typical me, so read all about it. Other than that, a year spent at Sha'ari Tzedek Hospital in Jerusalem doing Sherut Leumi is on my agenda at the moment. Lets see how it goes, shall we?
