if anyone wants to get me a birthday gift (my bday is on the 4th - this coming tuesday), the only thing i really need is a battery for my razr. it's basically dead.
thanks.

more on modification
music: tv mood: ok
aside from finishing the piece i've been working on, i have a couple of other little ideas that i want to have inked. they're nothing too spectacular, but i'm in the mood for something short and simple. of course, i'm not going to be getting anything done until after i've moved back to israel, but it's a thought i've been having.
right now i'm thinking nautical stars on my shins.
we shall see.

i honestly don't understand why things can't just be easy. if everyone just did what made them happy instead of complicating things more than they have to be, things would likely be better all around.

summer solstice
music: office noise mood: heh
last night i got out of class at the usual 9:30pm and had a voicemail from nicole asking me to join her and adam for a drink to celebrate the summer solstice. since i have a midterm today, i told her i didn't think it was such a good idea... but my intuition told me otherwise. this exam shouldn't be too difficult, and all i really needed to do was get up a little early today to go over the material. besides, i have nine weeks, in which to spend time with my friends here, so down to korova i went. i met them there, and we hung out a bit. i think i had one glass of wine and a shot (nicole wanted to buy me a tequila shot - i had to change that to a kamikaze) before we headed out to eat. i love talking to those two. i think i got a little passionate about something nicole and i were discussing, and i have yet to find out if i scared her or not. heh. hopefully it's all good =P
this morning i did manage to wake up with enough time to do what i was going to do last night (for the exam). now one can only hope it's actually enough.
also, i have a paper to write this weekend. feh.
is school over yet?

it's final
music: AC mood: feh
welp, i looked into possibly changing my flight to a week or two earlier. the agent was nice enough to take her time and actually look through the availabilities quite thoroughly. the cheapest option she could come up with was on august 24th (i'm leaving a week later, on september 1st), for $1116. so i would have to pay the difference ($263) plus a $200 changing fee. yea, umm... i don't think so. and yes, that was the cheapest. the rest were in the $1400-$1650 range.
i cannot express enough how much i would like to be able to leave earlier. but alas, i guess i'll have to bite the bullet a little longer and just go through with the entire nine and a half weeks.

music: tv mood: getting tired
i think i should go to sleep. i have some reading for tomorrow's shakespeare class and i'm in no mood to do it right now. if i get to sleep early enough i might be able to get up early to do it.
you know... the usual.
other than that, it's one day closer to september 1st.
thank you and good night.
ps - please note that all of my recent entries have something to do with time.

i should be sleeping
music: AC noise mood: ehh...
i know i've said this all before...
yes, i'm going to miss my friends here like mad, but i'm so in the wrong country. i've been in the wrong country for the past year or so. and now, more than ever, i simply need these ten weeks to go by so i can move on with what i'm so anxious to do. that is to say, take this well earned break and actually get to be with people i haven't had the pleasure of keeping in my company for more than a couple of days in a row for the last seven years or so... and with someone i'm really aching to be with.
*sigh*

what time is it?
music: silence mood: ok
after having another hang over most of yesterday (yes, i did the sangria thing again *smacks self*), i fell asleep quite early. i had all kinds of tentative plans for going out last night, but decided that none of them were a good idea since i hadn't done any of my reading. so, at about 3am, i woke up from a significant 'nap' and continued reading hamlet, which i need for monday.
i think a shower is in order. i feel icky from lying around all day and doing nothing. not to mention that i need to somehow wake myself up so i can also read three excrutiatingly long chapters for my film class. hopefully dan is feeling better this week, so i can have some work done on my thigh. i'll be very sad if we cancel again.

holy crap!
music: TV mood: overwhelmed
i have so much crap, it's not even funny.
way back when i decided to get out of here, i thought i'd have to send a total of four or maybe five boxes to my sister. now, with the whole post office being a pain in my ass thing and all - it's looking more like eleven or twelve. not only that, but i'm not entirely sure how the hell i'm going to fit all the shit i have left behind into two suit cases... no matter how big they're going to be.
i think my brother in law and sister are going to have to put this stuff in storage, or i'm going to end up taking over their house! LOL.

moo
music: office noise mood: ok
i sent another box to my sister today. that makes five. i think i have another four or five to send. that's a lot more than i had originally anticipated. however, i wasn't expecting the post office to suddenly decide that the size box i had originally sent was considered 'over-sized' and to have to split everything into twice as many boxes. only because they are now half the size they were.
*whew*
i'm in the middle of my second week of summer classes (4.5 more to go) and i'm not really feeliln' it. i suppose that's what is referred to as 'senioritis.' i simply don't have it in me anymore. i swear i'm trying to make it through these last few weeks, but my head isn't all there. i have other things to think about... aside from the fact that i'm trying to get all my shit together for the move, i'm also trying to hang out with my friends as often as possible, get my final ink piece (here in the U.S.) done, get ready for my little trip to the bahamas and about a million other things that have nothing to do with school.
i've been ready for this vacation/break for a long time now.
are we there yet?

sunday morning
music: shower running mood: ok, i think...
woke up at 8:30 this morning to finish up the reading i fell asleep in the middle of last night.
originally, i was going to go to contempt with kristen, but after the massive hang over i had yesterday, i figured that staying in was the better idea.
hence waking up at 8:30am was even possible.
so that reading done, i have to figure out what i will be doing with the rest of my day... i still have to read shakespeare's the twelfth night but that really shouldn't take too long. i was thinking i should to that somewhere in the city, in one of the parks, instead of staying indoors all day. from what i can hear, it's really windy outside. but it also looks sunny. i guess i'll figure it out after this shower i'm about to take.

gettin' there
music: morning news mood: not awake yet
whoa!
this morning my scale said 124 lbs (~56k) for the first time in about a year and a half. see, i knew i was losing weight when my boobs started getting smaller (yay!!). i think it mostly has to do with the fact that i seem to be over my 'hermit' phase. once i started eating healthier and started running around again, i guess my metabolism started picking up.
now if i can only lose the final four pounds =)

random thoughts
music: SOAD - dreaming mood: ehh
usually i can read people pretty well. sometimes i'm wrong, though. tonight showed me i'm not always right. it also showed me i still have some 'girlie' traits about me.
sex on the first date is never a good idea. i know this, but considering i haven't had someone 'regular' for so long - i'm not always able to just wait. i don't know why people have to be like that about this, though. if you like someone, sex on the first date or not - it should all be the same. i've had two long-term relationships start like that (granted, one was with a cheating asshole, but i digress)... i don't see why people are 'put off' by that. it's not like i'm the only one that thinks sex is a very important part of any relationship.
also, showing that you're 'too' interested right off the bat seems to be bad. this is why i am doomed to be alone forever. i don't know how to play the 'hard to get' game. if i click with you, i'm going to be very obvious about what i want. i'll show it and i'll say it. even if i've only known you for a week. scary for most, i know.
i like my new jewelry.
i need to be in israel already. i can't deal with the crap here anymore (appologies to those of you i love, who reside in this city). americans are too timid for me. besides, there's someone i want to be with over there. while i wish he would find someone to make him happy before the end of the remaining 11 weeks - i would be lying if i said i didn't want him to just wait for me. yes, i know that's not a fair thing to ask of someone i've never actually spent any real time with... *shrug*

foo
music: morning news mood: ehh
yesterday i spent the entire day at home. the weather was crappy and no one i know was up for leaving their house, either. i managed to read shakespeare's the merchant of venice for monday's class and ordered food delivery.
exciting, i know.
today i do not wish to stay indoors all day again. it seems that i once used to be able to just stay put and not do a damn thing. today, though, i feel like i'm becoming part of my bed and it's a feeling i don't like. so even though the weather is still icky today, at least it's not raining at the moment - and i will venture out to run some errands.
there are things i need to do, and other things that i would like to keep my mind off of until i can start taking care of those on monday morning.
seriously... is it time to leave yet?

stuff
music: AC noise mood: anxious
yesterday i got my lobes stretched to a 1/2". it was so easy, i couldn't even feel them stretch. i guess i'm at that point where the elasticity goes to shit. however, i'm not entirely sure that this is really the case, since when i take them out - they start shrinking back within less than an hour. what can i say? i'm weird =P
this morning i stretched the little holes up from a 12g to a 10g. not a big difference, and also very easy. i suppose, then, that it's only the middle sizes that are difficult and/or painful. idealy, i'd like the second holes to be a 6g. then my ears will be modified to (my idea of) perfection =)
in other news, today is the day that i would have been going to commencement, had i not decided otherwise. not only is it mostly pointless (as my parents are in another country and no one actually gets a diploma during this ceremony), but it's a pain in the ass to attend a ceremony held for 3000 people and their guests. that, and i really don't want to lose any money by not being at work.
aside from not going to commencement, this is also the first day of the last semester that i will be attending at hunter. the school has been good to me, but i cannot begin to express how badly i just want to graduate already.
finally, at the age of 31, i will have my bachelors degree in media/web development. wow!
on the same note, there has been talk about continuing my education, in the same field, in the holyland. nothing is for sure, because first thing's first - i need the longest break possible from this reality. the most i will be doing when i get there is going to a couple of the school i would be interested in, to see what they offer. this, of course, all remains to be seen...

yep...
music: office noise mood: ok
well i have all of my grades for the semester. they are one A-, three A's and one A+.
not bad for a semester, during which i thought i'd have zero social life due to working full time as well as taking a more-than-full load of classes... not to mention that i had to quit my previous job, because i was being mistreated, and find a new one. i managed to do all of that and kick ass! =D
now i am ready to hand in my graduation audit forms =)
