Hungover

ouch
I think I'm gonna lay off the drinking for a whil
Smirnoff's is no good
And over priced
But did you know it was the official vodka of the Russian Imperial Court?
Last night, well into the booze, Jake the history buff said "I feel like Saint Nicholas the second"
It was funny.
Ha.

Well, I'm Back

Sort of. Still in Israel (Be'er Sheva, in the south, the negev desert to be exact) but MBI (my summer program) is over. It was the best, the most amazing, the most incredible five weeks/summer/experience of my life. I lived so much more than I ever have before and I enjoyed almost every hour of it. Almost. I kept an occasional journal (once every coupla days) and I'm thniking I will type it up and put it, in its uncensored glory, here. This however may be a bit disturbing/offensive to some/all. I apologize. Or as Eminem would say (heard this song constantly all summer), "Will Smith don't got a cuss in rap to sell records. Well I do. So f**k him, and f**k you..."

The messiah has exited the building.

I'm currently somewhere in Jerusalem, maybe a twenty minute walk from the Old City walls. Was there last night (friday night), had the experience of watching all my friends cry over the western wall (kotel) and feeling nothing. The much more spiritual experience was later on, standing in the Kotel plaza and singing quietly with all my friends. (Well listening to them sing; I'm tone dumb. More or less).

Then my life started mucho sucking. I spent the entire walk back from the old city to Kiryat Moriah, the youth hostel we're in, with this Ezra guy. And all of dinner. And then Sharona decides to come hang out with us and bam! forget about me, it's all about her. F**k. I can't be angry at Sharona for long but damn I am extremely, extremely angry. Which is not helped by the fact that when I'm pissed about a guy, I get insomnia. Due to 11-hour flighs and a seven hour time zone change, my sleep level was averaging four a night. Last night I slept exactly zero hours, which rubbed it in. DAMN DAMN DAMN.

Well, it's morning here in Kiryat Moriah, the birds are chirping, I may go have breakfast (mmm - bread with chocolate spread and peanut butter) and for the seventy-third time replay my mental video of me telling Sharona exactly what I'm thinking. But it's nice out, really nice, before the heat of the day (and damn is there a lot of it) kicks in. And I have a better view than all of you. So there...

Shopping malls...

Are the spawn of Satan, havens of evil, focal points of Lucifer in the universe and the epitome of suffering, not to mention imperiling my immortal soul. Today we did the bulk of shopping for my year in Israel. I also got a harmonica. That's my goal for next year - to learn how to play the harmonica. Also not to take up smoking cigarettes and not to get laid. Sounds like a constructive year, right?

Well, no, not at all. I'm really excited, particularly about my summer, but in terms of Beit Hashita I have no f*****g clue what's going down. I'm still excited, but I'm also - how do you say it - scared out of my mind. People generally come back from Beit Hashtia with far more holes in their body, several new addictions, and (for girls) a key piece of skin missing. My friend (we'll call her Rachel) has 'fallen in love' with some Israeli guy, and tellingly also has gotten tongue, nipple, and yup c**t piercings. You know what that means. Everyone there smokes and while I don't mind that I will be EXTREMELY mad at myself if I get into said habit. Apparently heroin is also quite cheap in Israel.

In other news, I don't remember anything about the country, and now I'm gonna spend a year there, so I hope I like the place a whole f*****g lot. I'm also missing a key year of high school and a s******d of fun with my grade (particularly certain people therein) which is rather upsetting. All in all, the future is looking pretty bleak. I mean not really, as it's a year ON MY OWN (which I desperately need) and AWAY FROM MY FATHER (which I very desperately need) and should expand my horizons (which I desperately need) but it's still not looking as tempting as it did when I signed up. Oh f*****g well. Argh.
