45. לשכנע מישהו שאני בת 18

אוקי, אז כמה פעמים זה קרה לי בכמה חודשים האחרונים? יותר קרה לי שאני צריכה לשכנע אנשים שאני לא בת 18...

אוקי, לפי סדר כרונולוגי: 

1. זה קרה פעם ראשונה כשהייתי עם חן במסעדת "נלסון" ברחוב כצנלסון 33 בגבעתיים. ישבנו על הבר והתחלנו לדבר עם הברמן, היה נחמד. אנחנו אוכלות לטומנו (תומנו?) כשפתאום הוא בא וכמעט מושיט לנו כוסיות של צ'ייסר והוא שואל אותנו כזה- "יש לכן 18, נכון?"

אני וחן מסתכלות אחת על השנייה ולאט לאט מנענעות בראש. הוא כולו מופתע שואל, "מה, לא?"
כדי להיות בטוח הוא מתייעץ עם המלצרים האחרים ושואל בנות כמה אנחנו נראות להם. הם דווקא קלעו יותר קרוב והגדירו אותנו בסביבות ה16 וכשהוא שמע שאני רק 15 וחן עוד 14 הייתה, הוא פשוט חטף שבץ. מסכן, לא רק שהוא היה כנראה מובך עוד הכנסתי לו משפט : "הרדר שלך ממש לא מכוון..." 

טיפוסי לי כל כך!!!!!!!

2. בערך יומיים אחר כך, חן ואני שוב הלכנו ביחד ברחוב שלי. היינו בדרך לתחנת אוטובוס להגיע לשבוע הספר. לא עברנו 20 מטר מהכניסה לבית שלי וכבר עצר אותנו מישהו מהרכב ושאל "סליחה, אתן יוצאות מאנשהו עם הרכב?" אני וחן שוב הסתכלנו אחת על השנייה במבט ואני כזה מחזירה לו תשובה: "אם.. עוד אין לנו רישיון".

אז שוב איזה אחד שהיה איתו באוטו שואל אותנו "אז בנות כמה אתן?" והם גם לא האמינו... רציני שפשוט לא מזהים!!!!

3. היום, היה לאבא טקס סיום מהלימודים של במב"ל (מכללה לביטחון לאומי). היה טקס מכובד וממש יפה, הגיע אהוד ברק ובני גנץ וניגנה תזמורת צה"ל. בקושי נתנו לאנשים להכנס, רק עם זיהוי מיוחד לפי אורחים של איזה בוגר אנחנו... אקיצר התלוואנו לאבא אני אמא אסתי וארזי שהצטרפה בדקה ה99. במזל, היא הספיקה להגיע בדיוק כשהטקס התחיל אחרי שהיא הגיע מאיזה ארוע של תומר...

בקיצור מכוון שהרב שם היו מבוגרים, אבא הכיר לי עוד מישהי שעובדת איתו במשרד החוץ ובאותו זמן הוא הכיר לי את הבן שלה שהוא חובב צילום. התחלנו לדבר והצגתי את עצמי ואמרתי לו שסיימתי ט' והכל... והוא אומר לי : "אם לא היית אומרת הייתי נותן לך י"ב  בכיף"

אני לא נראית עד כדי כך זקנה!!!!!!!!

57. להמציא לעצמי ריקוד

אוקיי, יודעים מה?! זה לגמרי נחשב אם העלאתי סרטון שלי ושל לילוש ליוטיוב שלנו רוקדות .

זה לא בדיוק להמציא ריקוד אבל זה בהחלט קרוב וזה כל הנושא של הסרטון- אנחנו רוקדות!!

אני יודעת, זה אחד הדברים המביכים שלא לדבר על התחת שלי שמבצבץ שם כל הזדמנות אבל עדיין! הגענו בינתיים לכמעט 50 צפיות שזה יפה, בהתחשב בעובדה שלא פרסמנו אותו בכלל. אפילו או במיוחד לא בפייסבוק...


Good Job!

1. לרוץ 5 קילומטרים

Running 5 k.


okay, now thats something that i've neglected a long time.

running hasn't exactly been at the top of my priority list through out the year. it is pretty much my fault, i've become soooo lazy that i'm already ashamed of myself. besides tennis that i used to have lessons every week my sport activity hasn't been really .. abundant.

anyway, there was this one time that i did manage to get my fat ass off the couch and i went running with a friend. it was awesome! even after not running in many months, eventually i got in the pace and we actually ran 10 k without as much as practice!! i was so proud of myself but now it just leaves me excuseless...

after doing sport i feel so good with myself, a sort of feeling of accomplishment. and then again when i don't manage to make myself get up and do something with myself, i feel really bad as if i'm letting me down...

oh well, i've certainly go mental issues...

Nightime Murmurs

Okay so right now its about 4;30 in the morning and i'm not in the least bit tired. in the backround you can hear mum shouting something about me not wearing tights. let her stop me.

anyway, we're all up and packing. to be honest i've already finished which was surprising but mum and dad are still going on sorting through towels and old socks. yesterday mum and i were zapping through the TV settings and what do we find out? 5 days before we get the hell out of here we realize we can watch a ton on TV series FREE! including my alleged Grey's Anatomy. Well, since then for two nights straight i've been watching it on the Tv instead on my lousy computer. the only difference is the subtitles, the volume and the quality so no big deal. meanwhile i think mum is also getting interested....

so the countdown currently stands at four days to go before the flight. we've already had all the goodbye parties but its still just the close friends and family we'll be seeing. my friends planed my a surprise party this monday and it was amazing! it was at my friend's grandmother's house (i know) but it was huge! the house had a regular 25 meter pool, a tennis court and i think two jaquesies (how on earth do you spell that!?)

to be honest i kinda ruined their surprise because having my suspicions i eventually found out about it and by that time nobody was troubling to deny it. anyway, it was AWESOME! everybody was waiting for me at the house, and the pretence of going in was that my friend had to drop off a towel... humph...

once i was inside i was ambushed with hugs and tons and people, trying to look surprised all the same.. we were in the pool for several hours from 16:30 to about 21:00- having about an hour break for food and a trivia!! it was really sweet, but i would've expected so much more! i would've been highly disappointed if the wouldn' t have know my colour eyes or hair (both questions on the test). i would've made soo much fun of myself! but i guess they were being nice... oh! and also my friends wrote and really cool rap about me! it was only a couple of seconds long but it was funnyyyyy!


i think only now the realization is starting to hit me. once i see the house empty and once i'll really be at the airport i'll truly understand the huge realization that i'm not going back. i'm going to start a new life right now in chicago and leave everything behind. i'm optimistic about so many things but then again my friend told me not to wish for things that will only disappoint me in the end. right now what other option do i have?

i've told myself that i'm going to keep in touch with my friends, or at least the ones that matter to me but how long is that going to last? i mean, sure, i'll write postcards and letters  and believe it or not created a postcard kit including everything from stickers to paper to coloured envelopes. i get really easily excited by these things, i have everything organized inside my suitcase. thats it. i'm moving in only four days and i've already suitcased most of my stuff. i hat living by the bags, its so irritating! having everything in place and trying to stay tidy...

anyway, i'll do the best i can. i have aobut 25 days in chicago to do whatever the hell i wish- which is a Lot of time. besides, i'm not even going to have all my stuff with me. I'm for now stuck with 20 kilo worth of stuff taken in my suitcase and another two boxes of clothes and stuff that is being flown directly over to our house in chicago while we stop in new york and will arrive shortly after us.

during that time what am i going to do? no use trying to organize my room, but i desperately plan on getting to know the town better and exploringg. i plan on a lot of drawing and computer time. i think a little bit of arts and crafts wont damage anything and Shopping. i'm counting on that.

anyway, i've got a lot of mission stuff to get going on! maybe right now i'll actually have time...

Best Friday Friendship

Hey guys!

so this is going to be a little bit of publicity, but after a lot of hardwork our first video came online.

this is a channel that my BFF and i devised on youtube. the channel main purpose is to help us stay in touch  while i move to Chicago (Bitches).

Anyway, we've both agreed to post a video every friday including events from our week (accesorized with clips and shots), telling the other what we've been up to.

we've decided to share this with you guys, so that you'd become part of our Best Friday Friendship/ 

This is our journey from miles apart to stay friends and to look back at all those times of insanity and laughter in the little time we do have together...

hope you subscribe and enjoy our videos!!

this is our first video, meet Lee ;)

Picture Parade- DIY

my wedgie making shleykess

my bleach crop top

gangsta pumpkin style

kiss me right under my mustache

ass

indie rock is in the house tonight

this is how i cut my bleach shirt- i based it on this model. it works out well!!

lately i've started having a new obsession- i really really like indie style. i think i was influenced by a couple of my girlfriends that have started dressing this way and i've realized its really amazing! i really like indie with a mix of "street" kind of wear, holey and loose- crop tops type. 

i've looked at ideas on the web and its shirts and jeans that are really pretty and even fun to make. 

i made it my little DIY project. 

i was over at a  friends house and while she was away at a lesson i stayed with her sister, a sewing machine and some old t-shirts and we just played around!! we cut and stitched with the sewing machine, and she taught me tricks how to make holes in jeans and shirts. 

the trick is: cut a hole in your garment, and in order to pull out the string you just gently pull on them with a needle. it works so well!  on the way back home i had a huge impulse to try it myself that in a moment i was at the second hand shop near my house and buying clothing that i could "fix up". i came home and made a cut pair of short jeans that i cut and an amazing shirt using bleach!!!! the result was sooo good and ifelt proud of myself. i don't like spending money on expensive clothes, so most of my wardrobe is from the second hand shop, seriously. some people find it disgusting but i honestly dont care!!

tomorrow clauds is coming over !! they're flying in the afternoon and mum and i are going to pick them up from the airport= a long day! mum is pushing me to go to sleep but i don't know when my next chance will  be of posting anything, as mirra and hugh (my friends mum and brother) will be sleeping in my room an clauds and i get the coach in the living room! it opens up into a bed, but that at least means we'll have the TV! 

Joy. 

THE CLOCK TICKS

this is going to be my house in just three short weeks. its FUCKING AWESOME!!!
( i invaded google maps and looked around the whole area. you can see the marine which is just outside the window, and the roads and shops. its funny cause you can actually see the people in their everyday lives, frozen at one angle caught from space, like the guy in the picture...)

 here we are on the 10th of july, and there are only 20 more days for me in Israel. On the way to Chicago we plan to stay in New York a couple of days. its really exciting for me because the longest i've ever stayed in NY is only a day!! you always here so much about new york city and we're going to see the sights, visit museums and parks, i plan on maybe a lot of shopping and getting to know the city better!

NY is one hour flight from Chicago, and around 6 hours on the bus or so. when i'll actually make the trip i might know more accurately cause right now these might be rumors...

anyway, so i'm pretty much spending my time well right now doing absolutely - nothing. most of my friends have got jobs for the summer but i thought- i have only one more month to spend in israel with my friends, why should i work instead of having fun! in any other circumstance i would have found me a job, a loong time ago... but thinkin of the situation i didn't feel the urge, especially cause right now i've got NOTHING on my mind and i'm literally freeee!!!! its something you can seriously appreciate after the sort of year that i've had...

talking about saying goodbye, today was the last time that i saw my grandparents before our departure. they're off tomorrow for a long trip in the US and they wont be coming back to Israel before our flight, i actually contemplated getting insulted- i mean, they're going on this huge trip to the US, which is exactly where we're going to be and they're not even bothered to come visit us in our new home!? they are visiting EVERYBODY except us!! not to mention the fact we wont be seeing them for a year...

i'm really attached to my grandparents and in the last period i've spent a lot of time over at their house. we talk on the phone something like once every two days, sometimes even every day. 

when i was over their house today, we went over gran's old jewelery which she doesn't wear anymore. she told me anything i wanted, i could have. 

now one of my saddest obsessions is to jewelery. i buy myself the cheap stuff, but all the other "real" jewellery have a story, and are symbolic. for example- i have two pairs of rings on me, that i've worn every sing day for the past two years. they rarely come off. (i think i might've mentioned them in the past, but for a review..) 

one of them is from my mum- from when she was 16. its silver and has an eggshaped blob which is hollow on the inside but from above there is a lovely silver spiral on a black backround. the other one my grandmother gave to me but apparently it used to belong to my aunt when she was small.  i've had it wayy back and its small and slightly broad, and its also silver and is black with tiny mosaics of flowers.

today, my grandmother showed me a necklace that she made herself and i immediately connected to it. it looks very simple on a very thin and delicate silver string. the pendant looks like an upside down sail in the wind and just looking at it come to me so many different associations. my art teacher would probably say its "geshtalt".

it reminds me of: a shark tooth, a dagger, a cross, a wind sail, but most importantly, my grandmother. i don't know why but all my connections to it are negative or dark. right now it still hasn't come off.
