That last post was pretty fucking depressing. I refuse to go to sleep with such a depressing post as the first thing visitors to the blog will see- the same way I refuse to finish a meal without drinking coffee.
So here goes:
1. My current roommate does not have any family in Israel. I can not imagine making aliyah without having any family at all here. I really admire her for that.
2. The outfit I wore today cost 95 shekels, including shoes (ie flipflops). I am proud of that, especially since I bargained the store-owner down to 40 shekel from 49 when I bought my skirt. This was not on purpose - when I heard the price I began to walk out of the store. He asked why, and I explained that my skirt budgets was 40 shekels, at which point he gave it to me for that price. The thing is - I really was not bluffing. I did not feel I had the extra 9 shekel to spare.
3. Part of the reason the book I am reading resonates with me so much is that the main character loves poetry, comes from a very traditional family, is lonely, is torn between two identities, and comes from a world of strict sexual ethics which she chooses to violate. I could go more in depth, but I'll choose not to for now.
4. I am currently listening to Eyal Golan.
