*eyes dart nervously left and right*
Okay, the music withdrawl has gotten so bad, I've listened to the same three six13 accapella songs for A FULL WEEK STRAIGHT I'M GONNA LOSE MY MIND!!! I've been singing Doctor horrible, and like....disney...! I have to go do my laundry in a few minutes, and I CANNAH LISTEN TO MY IPOD OH MY GRASH WHUT AM I GONNA DOOOO!?!?!?!?!?!
huh-huh-huh-huff huff....
..huff huff..
okay i think we're good now...
So, what has happened in my life so far you ask? Well, I shall tell you. I'm filling out an AC2 meme! It's been a lot of fun, inasmuch as I've gotten to draw Ezio clocking someone with a mace going "KLONK". I'm gonna submit it when it's done. Also, I got a new coloring program- Paint Tool Sei. Check it out, it's pretty cool. I'm still getting used to it, but the brushes are beautiful. The problem is that it doesn't edit very well, and most of my pictures are scanned in from my sketchbook...So if I want to color anything it gets kind of difficult. But I'm sure I'll figure it out someday.
Yearbook is gonna be done in like two weeks people! What'll i do? I practically do nothing at all to help the yearbook anyway, just every once in a while I email some snapshots to our editor and she puts them in. Seriously, i struck it rich picking photographer. Although I've heard in Senior year you get graded on yearbook...Just something I'm gonna have to fail then...
CALLING CONSENSUS!!!
Should I try out for the play next year? I don't know if I'm a good actor or not. I mean, I'd like to think so, but there are so many high schoolers out there who are better than me...next year I'm just gonna be a lowly freshman...like a little calf out there in a field of experienced Wisconsin dairy cows....
okay that came out wrong.
Ignoring that, I don't actually know if I'm any good. I plan to establish an awesome reputation in tam next year by playing the KEYS off their piano. Unless that's viewed as a bad thing. In which case I'll have to do it at secret during lunch period or something. Also, I've heard the principal of the high school is interviewing the girls in my class to find out what kind of people they are and what they want to do when they enter and leave tam.
Should I TELL her I plan to go to seminary in Israel and live there afterwords? Or is that frowned upon, seeing as my community is mostly anti-zionist.
My life is so full of questions.
Fudge don't you say a word. I don't wanna hear it. This is MY blog, so I get to rant about MY issues, even though they're only like two, because I lead a good life, bli'eh.
picking at her rubber bands with a viscosity, since 2009,
Iguana :\
I'm typing this at super speed because I have so much friggen homework, and I gotta pack :/
ReplyDeleteAnyway, according to Halacha one may listen to music, as long as you're not in a group.... so, basically, no concerts.... :P Stuff thats recorded is fine. (I'm so happy daddy is a Rabbi!)
With the whole yearbook thing, its pree stupid. I mean, the ONLY reason why we're being graded is because last year's 12th grade decided to "laze out." basically, they didnt really do so hard on it 0.o or thats what i hear. You'll only be in 9th grade... you got a LONG time to worry about this m'dear.
On a different note, everyone can hear the piano, so, only Jewish music... or disney music. thats abut it really. Anything else and you're.... SCREWED.
I'm sure you'll do fine at your interview. Just lemme know when you is coming in, maybe u can chill with our class ^-^ I'll take care of you. I'll be the senior you wont have next year :'( Sad? I know. But, we can still see each other this shabbat, and when u come for ur interview.
Tell Mrs. Rauch that you wanna stay in Israel :) Also, say the qoute "KI MITZION SAYTAY TORAH" (I know... its prolly spelt wrong.) Just say from Zion we received the Torah. Therefore, MAZRACHI- ZIONISTS are the BEST. Because we LOVE ISRAEL AND THE TORAH *WOOOOOOOOOOOT* Isn't Kovs going to the army or something? Tell her that as well. She'll get a kick out of that.... muhahhahhhaaaaaa!
Um, they'll most likely make you try out. They "like" when students participate in everything... its like... trying to control us.
Thats about it for now. I better get back to my homework.
See you Shabbat! We'll talk some more.
Love ya!

Wow, that was a lot of words.
ReplyDeleteI know I could probably listen to music, but I don't really want to take any chances. I feel kinda like I have to take this on, you know? What I mean mostly is like when I was washing the dishes today I wanted to put music on my laptop. The thing is- I want to keep the no-music thing for sfirah because it defines sfirah. Complaining about it is the only way I can release teh steams and vapors usually released by music.
Does that make sense? (Leonardo Da Vinci, ac2!!!)
As long as Tam's okay with israeli pronounciation...cuz i got that...
well, i get to define sfira by counting it, not shaving, and not going to movies w me friends. and not hosting crazy karaoke parties in givat shmuel at least until lag ba'omer.
ReplyDeleteas for the play, definitely try out! the freshman who sticks her neck out the most will be loved/despised the most. the one who doesnt will remain invisible. it's a high risk, high gain kinda way to play the game, and frankly lanza, low profile u r not.
i liked ur cow metaphor so much i just copied it right into my facebook status.
yes, kovs is going to the army, who just bumped his enlistment date up to July 1st, so.... book those tickets for June!!!! quick!!!!
Tam will likely taunt ur israeliness. dont let them kill it! it's kickass!!!
as for VISCOSITY.... u keep using that word.... i do no think it means what you think it means....
not to mention, playing yerimu should be fine, because there's no words.
ReplyDeleteYeah... I can't really live without music... it's basically my own personal brand of heroine. Like... one you take it in, there ain't no going back. For shizzle. (Yeah... I didn't sleep to well.) Like, I try not to listen to a whole lot, just a bit.... I need music!!! Shabbat is bad enough :'( Seriously. I go through music withdrawal. Yeah, I had a lot to say about your post Guaners, because you are one sweet innocent awesome gurly! HAHA.
ReplyDeleteLike Kovi said, DON'T let them take away our special gift... Loving the Land and the Torah, UNITED. AS. ONE. Because honey, one thing that will NEVER happen.. Israel will NEVER EVER leave. EVER. And, we have Kovi here to kick some terrorist butt! So, yeah. Three against basically the whole Milwaukee.... It's kind of depressing if you think about it. BUUT, doesn't matter. What matters is that we care, and we'll do EVERYTHING humanly possible to make sure Israel is safe.
Kovs, I wish you much Hatzlacha! You're doing an awesome thing. Don't let anyone get in your way. Kick some serious ass!
Thats about it, me thinks. Anyway, off to see if I missed anything... See you tomorrow G-dwilling! Remember, AM YISRAEL CHAI!
(OOOH... CHAI... as in CHAIki. I feel honored!)

Oh, and if you're wondering where I'll be staying at, I'm gonna be by Mrs. and Rabbi Anton Senior.... not with my class. It's a LONG story.
ReplyDeletePlaceholder cus it is literally negative minutes till shabbat here. Just let me say that I went to a beit Yaakov school and although no one was thrilled about the fact that I was making aliyah and they for sure tried to talk us out of it ( my mom taught at the school so that's what I mean by us)we both knew why we wanted to do it and they saw that passion when they talked to us and eventually backed off. Will write more after Shabbat. שבת שלום לכולם
ReplyDeleteWow.
ReplyDeleteYAY PINOT ISRAELI!!! DO DOOOOOO!!!
Cow metaphor = huh?
Look forward to chilling with u chaiki! Problem though is that s'posed to rain this shabbat...so..we'll have to think of something.
KOVI I WANT TO SEE YOUR FACEBOOK STATUUUUUUUS!!!!!!
P O U T!
>:(
I'm getting interviewed by mrs.Rouch this wednesday peeps...i'm le'nervous (pardon my french).
Will i get to play piano for all yous guys?
@ Iguaners :( I was looking forward as well! Damn it. Kay, so I came to your house around 6:00 ish because apparently you had Bnot today... thats what Malki said. Anyway, I had bluma knock on the door, but i guess nobody heard...and we couldnt hang out :( I was SO upset!!! Anyway, next time I come to the West Side, we are making plans BEFORE! Because now I basically have a second home.... Senior Antons. They are on the same block as Pekiers. Which makes your house like only two blocks away or somethink.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, Wednesday????? Kay... can you PLEASE chill with my class? Also, you can try to sneak in ur sketch book so i can see ur stuff... because yeah :'( Um... I dont think so. because pple hold until after Shavout to listen to music.
Also, whats Pinot Israel?
@ jawttgirl it has nothing to do with just our school, it has to do with our community. They honestly think Torah is way more important. when in reality, Israel and the Torah are both equally important. Like, I'd rather Chas V'Shalom die knowing that I protected Israel and/or not be around to hear that Israel is no longer in existent. I want to make Aliyah... like in the summer this year, but my dad thinks i'm too young, and I need to start working. But, im for sure gonna make Aliyah when I get married IY"H. If it were up to me, Id go make Aliyah and improve my hebrew, and then enlist for the I.D.F.

I for one Decided to not enlist in the army for many reasons. Some of which are religious and some personal. The army is not for everyone and I am personally soooooo proud of kovi for volunteering. There are soooooo many other things people can do to help Israel that isn't army service and if you come for seminary most of them will help you pick the right thing for you. Sherut Leumi is also a very good option.
ReplyDeletePersonally I have a very weird view on Israel. I'm what I would like to call a realistic Zionist. I know that the Israel we have today is not the Israel G-D promised us. This is the land he promised us and of course we should fight for it, But anyone who says that the current government and the way it is run is what G-D intended is tripping...all they need to do is pick up a paper and would figure it out.
My family right now lives on a Yishuv over the green line. I love it here. I love waking up every morning ( sometimes at 4 am when the arabs pary loudly over the loudspeakers 5 minutes from here) and knowing that everyone in my community is here cus they want to be, Cus they believe in being here. They don't just view it as another place to live. I for one would never be able to move back to ny after living here for almost 3 years. Israel really is the most peaceful place.
I remember one time going with 2 friends to Chevron. This was 2 years back and currently it would not be save to just "go" but we felt really safe. I doubt I would even feel that safe walking in some parts of ny. From the moment you step onto Israeli land if you know why you are there it really does feel like coming home.
Yeah, thats all true and good, but I feel the need to help the I.D.F. and what better way to do that? Sure, I'll devote my love for Yerushaliam. By volunteering and all that. But the real action begins by being with those who I love, and I would help knowing that I might pass away, but I'll know I'm no longer in Olam Hazah because I helped my fellow brothers and sisters. Also, I believe there is a separate program for Frum Girls... But I have a while to worry about all of that :)
ReplyDeleteI really miss israel, and I hope to go back sometime.
ReplyDeleteI want to go to seminary when I get out of high school, and from there I'm hoping to get a job as a nurse for hatzala. My aunt told me it was good work for Aliyot (what's the word there?).
Awh, following in your mom's steps! That's cuute ^-^
ReplyDeleteWe have MADA here..Magen David Adom instead of Hatzala. Its a great job a lot of my friends work for them. In Israel its actually a course they give in high school and then if you like it then you can volunteer for it. I also have friends who did Sherut Leumi in hospitals and they loved it. Btw the word is Olim
ReplyDeletelol olim for all of em in general - i think elana means olot.
ReplyDeletei think that idea's really cool. yknow i know a lot of girls at bar ilan who actually came to israel for the last 2 years of high school, and then went to seminary or where ever. if you did that you could take mada coursim in high school (they even let u work in the ambulance!)
int'resting....
ReplyDeleteI'd be interested, that's for sure! But not only do i wonder if my hebrew will be good enough by then, but mommy prolly won't let me drop out of high shcool like that...
Gurgh. now you people have got me psyched.
All of this Israel talk is making me homesick :'(
ReplyDeleteAnyway, just pray that I get to go to Birth Right this August! Ten days of freedom ^^
Actually, since we're on the topic, Iguaners, you'll get a kick out of this one. Today in Mrs. Avruch's class we talked about Mazrachi Zionism. I brought up the topic ;)
Also, not only ten days of freedom. But ten days of being home *sighs*
ReplyDeletelol elana it's not "dropping out" of high school for 2 years in israel - it's going to an israeli high school for the last 2 years. though I don't know if they'd let someone who's not a citizen take the mada course...? I don't see y not, I'll try to look it up.
ReplyDeleteKovi, Can you see if they'll take me in as well, even though I'm done with H.S. in June? :P
ReplyDeleteBtw, Igauners, I'll prolly be seeing you tomorrow (check ur emails.)
