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.

I just sneezed and now my head hurts. Its strange.
It was raining this morning and I was so excited that my backpack was going to get soaking wet while I made my way back to Jerusalem, but as it turns out, the sun has come out and its warm outside, so I'll take a coat, but at least my clothes will be clean and not soggy. That is a happy thought.
This week ought to be busy ish. I need to schedule an appointment to see and eye doctor. And I have a date with Amalia! This is so exciting!
So now i'm off to have another busy week and we will see what comes out of it!
I must admit, I felt quite accomplished today. I got a lot of things done before I even woke up. THAT is good. I really want to watch Private Benjamin, but it will be Shabbat in a few hours and the time to watch is just not there. Therefore I suppose it will have to wait until next Saturday night or maybe even the Thursday night after that. Life is hectic, what else can I say and a week is far too short a time to get entangled in all of the snares that I get caught up in. Thats all folks...
Have you ever lost your journal? It is not a fun or enjoyable experience, let me tell you that. Well, I feel like I've lost mine and I dont like it at all. Not one bit. And my shoulder hurts, but on the bright side... I have a funky bruise on my arm left over from Sunday! Its so much fun!
So I went to go donate blood for the first time tonight. I left the house and walked to Karate to pick up Sara. Then we walked together to her shul so I could give blood. We got to the Shul and went into the downstairs where the mada people were already set up and taking other peoples blood. I filled out the form with Sara's help. I got my blood pressure checked and it was 120/80 textbook normal. They also checked my hemoglobin, but I didnt think to look at what it was, but it was somewhere between 12 and 14 because those are the only numbers you can have and still donate blood. Finally everything was in order and I went to have my blood sucked out. There were a few empty beds, but only one that was on the right side to have blood taken from my left arm, so I went and sat down on it and the nice guy, who was annoying like the new doctor in my ward, started to talk to me and feel my arm to find my vein. He was funny and had very nice eyes. I also didnt understand a lot of what he was saying, because I was freaked out that I was going to faint and I didnt want to. Turns out that: I didnt faint! As Sara phrased it, I had rosy cheeks and I am psycotic =) wonderful! But the guy missed and stuck the needle all the way through my vein instead of just through one side, so there wasnt enough blood in the bag to be able to use it. And he was nice and didnt want my whole arm to puff up and bruise, so he didnt fill it up all the way. I thought that was nice of him. He was so sad after and didnt talk to the next lady who sat down and he took a ten minute break and was really upset of having screwed my blood up. I told him not to be so depressed, because I really just wanted to know if I would faint or not and I didnt so that was good. Plus he said I have good veins AND sara was amused that I have black blood =P Anyway, in four months I'll go give blood again and be'ezrat Hashem if they are supposed to be able to use it, it will all work out! Dude! Don't be so sad! Layla Tov!
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?
