Today isn't my day to find you

[trenchkamen]

Memething from finmefiant and tanuki_dono.

1. Reply with your name and I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/film reminds me of you.
3. I'll pick a flavour of jelly to wrestle with you in.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. I'll tell you my first memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal.

Half-days are glorious. I went to Chipotle with the Nerd Herd, visited Lizzy in the hospital and watched some quality daytime television (today's topic: bisexual male gigolos confess their night jobs to their wives), picked Rachel and her friend up from the mall, and I am planning on spending the rest of the afternoon working out, doing homework, and researching stuff for college. And looking for community service. For college.

I should just scrap this and go to Saguaro Continuation College to take advantage of Jeff's money laundering scheme. I could get a degree in something-computer-related and give up on excelling. And stuff.

And junk.

I'm pretty sure that if I go in-state I'm going to the University of Arizona in Tucson, so that at least narrows something down. Maybe that would be the best option until I decide in which direction I want to go. It's a top-tier school, the best for the money, and two hours from home. I can hit up UCLA and whatnot for post-grad.

Maybe when I take Rachel to her dance lesson this evening I will stop by Goodwill to attain some new pants, finally.

5) FF.net.
6) A snake
7) Same question as Asato's, and, though this is a rather open-ended question, what is day-to-day life like in Israel?

1. hot headed and stubborn more like it ^_^
2. oh that. I took it off from Equivocal the last time I did small repairs in it. It wasn't proper.
3. Jell-o? you want us to fight in a lubricant? >.<
6. A snake?
7. You read the answer Asato got right? if not then go and read it. Day to day life in israel hmmm....Nower days it's very quiet and everything is comperatively peacful. A few years ago you couldn't pass a week without being sad about at least of terror attack but now it's very very peaceful. The Gaza pullout ending brought a kind of stalemate that's like....nothing's happening really, compared to all the noise made by settelers before etc. At the moment people are more occupied with keeping an eye on New Orleans and how our politicians re-arrange themselves towards the next allection, which will basically directly and powerfully influence where the country's going. that's what's on people's minds.
Generally we're a lot like you in technology levels and exposure to the outside world media etc.
oh yeah and we have cars. yes, cars. not camels; C-A-R-S. bedus (a group of nomad arab tribes) have camels and even they're giving it up for cars. I'm sorry but whenever I talk to someone from abroad about israel it's all about 'so how many camels do you have in the neighborhood, how many do you have etc.' In the San Diego Zoo's camel compound there's a picture of a camel tied to a plow with the title 'in israel' or something, it doesn't even make sense for god's....

so there. anything else?

I was never under the delusion that Israelis all rode camels or any such nonsense like that. That's typical ignorant, novel thinking about foreign countries that aren't in Western Europe or East Asia. I have had some people from abroad ask me, when the find out that I used to live in Texas, if everybody there rides horses. Erk.

And, obviously, if you didn't have advanced technology, you wouldn't be talking on the internet.

What I was wondering more about was how peaceful it actually is nowadays. I don't trust the American media, especially when it comes to reporting on the Middle East. But that answers my question. I am glad to hear things have calmed down. Hopefully the country will head in a positive direction with the next election.

Ah, sorry about the camels rant, it was more in general and less aimed at you. you don't sound like a person who would think that.

About the peace i really don't know. it seemed like the right winged party is going to be alected again in the next round and since no one (in his own party) loves Sharon because of the pullout the man who might get chosen is such a bad prime minister (he has experience in that) and such a shallow, ignorant, careless andhorrible man that i fear the day he'll get alected.
Also just because we pulled out of the gaza strip doesn't mean it's going to be peaceful. the heads of the terorist groups in palestine are far too currupt and bloodthirsty to let it go so easily. they want the whole land and they have thier branches all across the west bank and gaza strip, brainwashing ordinary people into going to our cities and exploding themselves (something i learned during my service) so i don't know.

you know how, when you recieve an unexpected serious injury and for few minutes there's shock and you can't feel anything; that's what i think is going on. either that or actual real recovery. things have been so bad these past four years that it's hard to believe things are getting better.
