Well, it's been awhile...
so I figure I might as well update. So, Israel was amazing...I didn't want to leave and I want to go back (which anyone who has seen me since my return knows already...). I miss the people, the places, the food (never gonna be able to eat an American falafal (sp?) again, the chocolate is...mmmm, and I want the tea). Ok, I want the tea with certain people drinking it with me...I miss my friend Yotam, who I'd like to be more, but somewhere between the 5000 miles and the whole IFD thing I can barely keep in touch with him at all. That's been fun...hopefully he'll check his email sometime soon so we can figure out when to talk. Also miss Meirav, Oscar, and Nicola too. Even Scholmo and his nearly homicidal driving.
But, hopefully Yotam will be one of the soldiers who visits us. Six of the eight we traveled with are coming, so keeping my fingers crossed. I'm miffed that I won't be allowed to (officially) host him though...the guys have to officially stay with guys...unofficially they get to sleep where they want, but TPTB can't encourage ummm...extracuricular activities. Which is so not why I want him to stay with me...ok, I wouldn't be opposed, but seriously...if they do the same crazy programming thing like they did with us I won't really get to spend any time with him. If he was crashing at my place, I'd at least get to spend time with him and only him, not a bunch of people. Although hopefully they'll have more free time than we did...everything Keith and Noam have said seems to indicate this...at least after dark . And I'm SO not discussing my sex life with either of them, so I wish they'd stop mentioning it like the only thing I could possibly come up with to do with a guy I know when spending time alone is have sex. I have much more imagination than that...ummmm, wait, that's really not making my case is it?
oh, a list of funny things said on Birthright:
~When kosher pigs fly! (me)
~schnowrkoling on the bitches (Noam)
~Pet gerbiles (Noam again)
~How hard can it be to find a guy who's over 6'5" and carrying an M16?!? (answer: very hard, Me and Laura)
~Niiicoooolaaahhh! (lots of people, mostly the silly boys...our tour giude's name was Nicola...get it?)
~Now we only have a couple of minutes so no one stop in their room to change or for a quickie... ...If it only takes you two minutes its only your second time (Keith, the director of Hillel...ie: the 'adult')
~You don't get longer just cause it's harder for you to find it (Keith to Noam after he cut us in line for the bathroom)
Oh!!!! and I got invited to come interview at Princeton!!!!! On their dime!!!! Yay!!! Majorly excited (and slightly still freaked) by this. But tired of typing so more later.
