Yeah, I know. It's been two and a half months. I was going to write the first weekend I got home, but everything I used to do seemed so silly at the time.
Right now, I work in an office and live at home. It takes a bit too long to get there, and I do 8 till 5:30, except when it's my turn to open or close the office. My commanders are prosecutors. In other words, they are educated people, and not typical army folk. That's good. The rest of the girls are ignorant. I don't like them much, for different reasons. Might be my mood too, I suppose, but having someone from my world amongst them would be nice. One of the officers is all antisocial and dorky in a way that makes me feel very at home, though. I just got a desk and a very old computer, and it's in the only proper room we have. The rest are in more open spaces. I already left my German dictionary there, and my arabic textbook, and some stickers. It's nice to finally have my own corner.
I'm trying my best to have a life outside the army, since I find it so depressing. There's a million plays and movies I want to see, and I hang around Tel Aviv afterwards sometimes. It does me good, because there are always some flyers and posters about, so I know about the cool stuff that's happening. I've also gotten into alternative fashion, but that was even before I got drafted. It's just that wearing uniform makes you want to dress up more in your free time. It started with a barrette craze, brought on by some girls I used to know, evolved into an immitation of the colourful style of the star of an Argentinian children's soap that's airing here, and then I raided the LJ fruits community for photos, and I just exploded. I haven't worn so much colour since I was little, but I'm still all about accessories. I have a huge collection of barrettes now, and I got lots of new earrings lately, and yesterday I got ribbons and lace and cute buttons for a whole lot of money, and made some really cute barrettes, two so far and an elastic for my niece.
I just signed up for the NME site. I like it. On an unrelated note, I also like Rufus Wainwright a lot. I'm pretty sure there are some fans reading this, so I figured I'd mention it.
Also, there was round #25,426 with my ex. Didn't work out, because I'm frigid, or he's a really bad kisser, or he's insesitive, or I'm scarred from the previous rounds, or I shouldn't date when I'm all messed up.
I don't remember what my journal used to be. I don't think it was this. I'm feeling awefully israblog right now. But I don't care, it's this now. I want to participate in LJ stuff again. Funny I never really did that much. The most I did was QP, and that's a no go now that the time slot's in the middle of the night. I actually keep wanting to set the alarm, but the thought of about five non-consecutive hours of sleep doesn't sound very appealing.
Speaking of sleep, I'm getting tired and I have to get up early tomorrow, so I guess I'll shut it now. |

Updating would be a good idea, wouldn't it? I think I'll try.
They have Purim costumes at the mall already. They have carnival masks, and awesome easy-to-breath in animal masks. I want to have a party at my place, but I wonder what the neighbours will say. Also, probably not enough drivers amongst my friends. I want to make sure we celebrate anyway, with costumes and משלוחי מנות and everything. Hopefully, also drink עד דלא ידע ארור המן מברוך מרדכי, or just some sweet wine for the prude ones.
The mall is awesome on fridays. Everyone is there, and there's food and all sorts of pretty stuff. The chestnut guy wasn't there today, but I got sugar-coated walnuts instead, and an empanada. There's Knaffe too, which is awesome but not for the healthy eater. I love the mall on fridays. Feels like a holiday.
There's an awesome new bakery in town. I'm so happy, it's so much better than the other fancy bakeries we have. They also have different flavoured butter, and interesting cheeses and just about anything. It's also a cafe. They have quinoa bread. I think I want to marry that Erez guy.
I have new clothes. Preppy summer pants and sexy winter tops. Hopefully I will have more soon, because there's a new American Apparel shop in Tel Aviv, and it looks promising. I can't believe I didn't know about it, I would have shopped there on-line if I had known. It's like Fox before they got a big head, except better. More expensive too, but I guess we can live with that if the clothes are as good as they look.
I swear there was supposed to be more rambling about more intellectual and less worldly stuff too, but we've been invited to dinner and I have to go, so you'll have to make do with food, parties and clothes. Shallow, aren't I? |

Damn it. I have people on my flist who have never seen me post. *waves meekly* This can't be good.
So what have I been up to, other than not commenting? I can remember a time I was too busy for my two weekly movies, but I can't remember what I was busy with. I can also remember a time I was watching too much TV. There was some socialising, too, and some doctors. Maybe I forgot it all because of the funny shot I got that didn't make me high though I thought it would. Or, you know, because my life is boring.
After boring, there was ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) hllangel. She was here visiting and we had so much fun! We ate far too much, and we talked Potter, and we did the touristy thing and she took over my life. I'm sure some of you noticed that, whether because she told you so or because I suddenly turned talkative. Not that I'm not a talkative person in RL, hehe.
After Hannah, there were relatives. They were from my dad's side of the family. My brain hurts. We're expecting more of them in the next few months, but luckily the rest of them don't argue quite as much, even if they do patronise.
I finally passed an interview in the army. Apparently they like nerds. So I now have a good position, unless they decide I can't work with sekrit stuff. I'll be away from April till July, only coming home every other weekend, and probably going insane from having people around all the time. After that, who knows.
All my metaphors have escaped. I blame all those attempts at prose. Help, I miss them.
The Hot Prime channel is having a Sundance month. In my language, it's stare at the screen till I'm a zombie month. Last night was a Culkin night, a movie for each of the boys. I recorded the lot of them. I've wanted The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys on tape for ages. It's one of my favourite movies, and I want to show it to my poor unsuspecting friends. After that there was something called Saved! which was sorta silly, but I did get my proof that Macaulay is good. You can't judge a boy by something like Home Alone, ya know. Also, that was two Jena Malone movies in a row. Which reminds me, The Ballade of Jack and Rose = awesome. Watched it with Hannah, she said it was a fandom movie. Rory's movie was of course Mean Creek, which was excellent, and made me feel completely different the second time around. I guess it's too much TV time again.
I think I'm going to get off the computer before I lose the day to fanfic. And by fanfic I mean this entry isn't locked and I just made my mom a watcher journal. ;) |

First of all, happy birthday to mad_maudlin! I hope you're enjoying it!
Other than that, I'm having trouble expressing myself lately, so I'll try an old updating method of mine- mostly disconnected words, phrases and sentences. Under a cut, because I want a line for each and because I feel sorry for your delicate brains.
( weird )
Also, ♥ for Garland. I don't know what happened, but I'm sure it can't be much fun. :s |

| Meme- Ten Things That Make Me Happy |
[Nov. 23rd, 2005|10:07 pm] |

| | happy | ] |
Because kinky_kneazle tagged me ages ago and I gave her hell for it, here's ten things that make me happy, starting with those which made me happy today:
- Company- Someone to talk to, someone to eat with, just to know I'm not alone. Like studying with a friend, each for a subject the other knows nothing about, just to be together. Like getting up early to have breakfast with my mom. Like getting an unexpected call or visit from a friend.
- Sweets- It's not very good for me, but pigging out with a friend or stealing a cookie between meals always puts me in a better mood. If I stop on time, that is.
- Girl nights (or any time of the day, really)- Girl talk of girly subjects, and trying out make up like little girls. I actually did come up with a pretty good combination, and that always makes me happy, even if I don't get to wear it afterwards and forget all about it.
- Cooking- I like cooking, and especially experimental cooking, despite disasters I sometimes end up with. Today my fingers are burning so bad from the green pepper, but I have lemon-honey-fennel sprouts!
- Singing- I'm musically ignorant, so obviously I can't sing for anyone else, but since I can't hear what's wrong with my singing, I enjoy it very much! I sing different styles, and rather loudly when I'm alone. I also read poetry out loud in my room, but that's more to vent out anger and general moodiness.
- Shopping- By shopping I don't necessarily mean clothes, but I do mean things I don't desperately need. I like going into a store and getting what I like, not just what I came to get. The other day I bought fennel seeds, flax seeds, cocoa and some socks and came home extremely happy. Book shopping is a great treat for me too, and I end up with more books than I can read. I haven't properly shopped for clothes in ages, but I like that too, as long as I can still decide I don't like anything. Just looking at everything is half the fun!
- Weather changes- I'm always very excited about the next season being just around the corner, the first rain or the first hot wind. I'm still getting used to the rain now, and when I think I hear rain I go open the window to see and feel it.
- Making people laugh- That's actually quite surprising to me, I never wanted to be the funny one before.
- Daydreaming and imagining- I can spend hours daydreaming a conversation that can never happen, and it makes me almost as happy as if it did. I also like thinking up stories, far more than I like writing them down.
- Analysis- Of poems, characters, languages, computer problems or various riddles and exercises. I'm not much a creator, and absorbing information is just something I do, but taking something that seems arbitrary and finding the meaning inside it, that makes me happy.
Not tagging because tagging is evil. Go leave your address for a holiday card instead! |

[Nov. 5th, 2005|07:49 pm] |
Anyone who wants a holiday card, please leave address and holiday in a comment, comments will be screened. If I have fanatic atheists on my list and didn't know it, leave your address anyway and I'll send you a drabble on a cute Japanese postcard, art, a japanese paperdoll, whatever. Or maybe one of those will come your way anyway. Let me express my love, people!
Dammit. I'm sure I forgot to reply to some address collecting posts people made. I'll go look for them, but since we're on the subject, remind me?
I'm so behind on NaNo. I'm an idiot. |

I'm not fandom-locking it, because I don't want to friends-lock, but if you're not in fandom and have no idea what a BNF is, just skip this post. Yes, even if you're a family member in awe of my super writing skills.
starrysummer just posted On Fandom, Belonging, and Making Friends, and promised a post about BNFs too, which reminded me of a thought I had ( about BNFs and whether they exist anymore )
As for where I am, I'm just doing NaNo. That wouldn't be any trouble if I was actually doing it, but not doing something can keep you surprisingly busy. |

Happy birthday, sevastnikon! You're the best brother I could wish for, and I love you to bits! I did want to see you today, but I also wanted mom to have some rest. Expect a birthday call when parents are sufficiently rested. *hugs!*
mimbulus too, who should come here to get your present. Nev is very well behaved, but he won't get in the box, and he keeps running away when I try to take him to the train station. Come and get him! That is, after I take some nude photos to send lauriegilbert, who's birthday is tomorrow, and gets lots of love too!

Please remember you're a rheumatologist, not a psychologist, and get of my case. As surprising as it may sound to you, I am actually fine, for once. Or I was, before I stepped into your office.
I should have told him I was pregnant or something.
On the bright side, I am now the proud owner of a pretty, shiny mate straw. |

| Things learned in a day of housekeeping: |
[Oct. 14th, 2005|07:52 pm] |
- No matter how authentic you want your ethnic dish to be, do not be tempted to use corn flour.
- Crisps are made by machines for a very good reason.
- Rice is very good at not burning even if you forget all about it.
- Flies have a very short life cycle. Possibly, they shorten it by committing suicide against my living room window. Either that, or they come here to die because they think I'm god.

Meet sevastnikon - officer of the IDF, father of three, older and wiser brother of rimadora and now official creator of linguistic wank. I heart my brother.
I had so much fun at QP chat last night! I knew that one QP friending day wouldn't be the end of it. Bagels to all new friends! Yes, bagels, I bet you've already had too many cookies today.
I am procrastinating. This is the first lull this Ulalemo. I will get over it, and if I don't I expect you lot to kidnap me and leave me in Lapland to fend for myself in the cold.
My parents leave for Japan tomorrow. They will bring me back all sorts of things lacy, pink, and both pink and lacy. Pretty paper for cutouts, plush toys and pocky are also likely to magically appear. Also, independence and loneliness will ensue. Possibly wild orgies. Anyone cares to come for a visit? |

One line stories! I'm into Monterroso again, and I remembered some people were doing this a while back. Leave me a pairing/character, a one word prompt, or both, and tomorrow morning I'll write you a one line story. But really, just one line. If I write two you get to pick my penalty. Lines in the very end of a long comment thread don't count. HP, MD and no fandom only, please. Sleep now, good night.
ETA: Because you're mean and don't give me prompts, here's some political slash for you:
