Sleep Don't Weep

It's Friday afternoon, I finished my piano lesson, Yair's down stairs (i'm in my room) taking his now. We went on a hike to סטף today with the Gorenbergs which was lots of fun :) I really like those guys, especially Elisheva. She's so sweet and talented and cool! Love her.

It's סוכות now, btw. We made our סוכה out on the grass, and it's very nice. Simply decorated - not extravagant. Some day I want to plan out the entire succa and decorate it gorgeously. This year we hung up some of our old decorations and pictures - paper cutouts and pipe cleaner chains and pretty stuff like that. The girls (I think it was) hung up a string with popcorn and raisins. :) Me and Eli made a decoration of origami balloons that looks kind of like an אשכול of grapes. Chana hung up a picture of Moshe Hayim and also the 3D art i made in Ofek that I gave her, and also a belly dancing skirt over the door which looks really nice and special :) We had Bobby, Diane and Meyir over for lunch yesterday. It was fun.

Last night I went out with Netta, after meeting up with her and Naomi for a few hours in the afternoon. First we went to the T-Market, which is a big T shirt convention. We went with Naomi and her boyfriend ישי who seems like a really nice guy (although not on Naomi's beauty level). It was lots of fun- there were so many stylish, sexy, funny shirts, every size shape and color under the sun. They were all so expensive, though. :( In the end I bought some long black glove for Ayelet (who needs cheering up because Boaz is going away to the Technion) and an orange t-shirt with a pride graffiti on it that Yotam really likes: Two male lions getting it on (like the Jerusalem flag) and it says: ירושלים של כולם. :) Yotam's gonna love it!

One other cute thing - when the girls told Yishai that I was buying the shirt for my boyfriend, he said, "מה, הוא חובב בנים?" That made me laugh. :)

Then Naomi and Yishai went to Emek Refaim and me and Netta went to town. I can't write it all down...it was such a long night. We went to the מרקיה, we practiced flirting, we tried to buy beer, we went to a giant succa, we met Sky, we hung out with Elisheva (not Gorenberg, Nechemia's sister) and Rivka. Three words I won't be forgetting: fancy a fuck? God, it sounds so vulgar in writing. But it was hilarious :)

Eventually Netta had to go...I met Gabe and Michael and Guy and Gideon and Benji...we sat in a bar...I went to the shushan, but Shlomi wasn't there. I may go tommorow night. :)

And then Benji gave me this huge revelation, that he had sex with another guy a little while ago. I didn't really know what he wanted me to say. I said it was cool, great, that he's trying new things and learning about himself and all. I think he may have wanted to do stuff with me - not sure, that might just be me being ego-y. But anyway I think we became closer because of that. :)

And he also told me that everyone in our class apparently has known I'm gay since the summer, which is cool, cuz it obviously doesn't matter to them. It's nice that they know :) Also Michael apparently stood up for me (I wasn't there of course) against some gay bashing girl...which is so sweet of him.

So it was and interesting night, but I only got home about 330 and I had to get up at 830 for the hike so I'm completely exauhsted. The lesson with Angela went okay. I need to practice more, (of course).

Yotam's still in Europe...I really hope he's having fun. I miss him :( I miss his smile and his face and his warm body. I wrote a poem about it. Maybe I'll write it up here if I can find it....

That's all for now. Love you :) שבת שלום!
