AHEM said the tiger

my fam is amazing. we are a little crazy, but i love it that way. i guess probably every family has key words and little memories that only they understand; things that wouldn't be funny to anyone else. lately i've had some alone-time, which may or may not be causing me to talk to myself and throwing around little family-only-style inside jokes. to myself. and emailing my mom, dad and sister about it after i crack up aloud for like 4 minutes. i wish cappy had an email address.

sheshbesh is really big here. there's this area in the shuk, past the arab part and past vegetable corner, where there will always be at least 20 old men sitting playing backgammon. i kind of want to play sometime and take their money. no just kidding. but it would be kind of funny.

it's not oh-ten. it's twenty ten. two-thousand ten. if you will.

i will. em... yes... i was quite a hungry hippo. starvin marvin. but then i ate brie for dinner. is that normal? i'm a bit distraught. this week is going to be bigtime crazy and super emotional. i'm actually really nervous about making it through the week alive. chellllp. i wish i had brett and elaine and emily and emily and MOM. duh. and even dad, too. :P

the other night was a massive 10-year anniversary celebration for birthright... i mean it was fun, buttttttt all three people i wanted to bring had other plans. tear. however, an awesome texan named eli wound up being my date. and she's hotter than the ones who declined- especially cause i got to dress her in my clothes... hahah. she totally pulled off a black velvet dress, cardigan and plaid scarf with grunge pants and green converse. she called her look "mismatched barbie" but i came up with another label that i currently cannot remember. regardless, the only alcohol on site was sangria. hot, boiling sangria. i don't drink red wine in fear of migraines, but i REALLY needed a drink (mingling with billionaires makes me nervous)... luckily i did not get a migraine. the night turned out to be really fun, even though later on i was burned by an explosive coal sitting atop a hookah and wound up misbehaving (oops). the next morning, i went to fruit bar and ate the most delicious frozen yogurt ever. then headed back here to have lunch with ben, jon and danielle. UM, yum. this place by my apt. is quite delicious. and i'm supposed to help translate the menu/design the menu this week!? WOO! anyway, i wish danielle would come back, i kind of miss her already. i miss rachel too. i seriously need some girl friends.

ok there is far too much work to be done to be writing nonsense or complaining right now. although i'd like to watch a movie or go outside and play/drink/meet up with some people who are having fun while i'm in my room on my computer. BUT work hard, play hard? i need a hugggggggg.
