Relearning Hebrew has been extremely rewarding so...
Things I must do in Israel:
Go to everyone’s last day of high school. Except Michal.
Have a girls’ day at the beach… or a month.
Shop a lot.
Speak like a local (maybe a little better).
Learn some Arabic!
Attend all the parties as an annoying satellite girlfriend (one invite down).

He says I caught him on a bad day.
I have found, recently, that there is an appalling lack of symmetry in my life. In the mirror I scrutinize myself – from the size of my breasts, the slope of my hips, the hollow at my clavicle, the shape of my eyes. I am lopsided.

We’re playing a game of cards. I showed you my hand. I didn’t know you were going to play the same one.
If you had ever shared a shower with me, had I ever shared a shower with anyone, you would know that I write names in cursive on the shower door. I always write the name of the person that I like in pretty cursive script. Today I didn’t write a name. Today I wrote “someday”. I didn’t even mean to.

lightthesky asked: You haven't posted a picture of yourself in forever. Were you involved in some freak accident? Cuz that's the only valid excuse I can think of.
