to my friends
im really enjoying my life lately. i use all my feelings and emotions to express myself in an artistic way and i love it. im painting a lot and i started taking dance lessons, free style. i met this guy on friday in the midrahov and i had to stop and look at him. my mom said he’s scary i thought he was fascinating. he was dancing in the middle of the street, he was amazing. he is a teacher so im gonna take a few lessons till i leave. dance is a wonderful way to express yourself.
im taking these 3 weeks i have left before i go to really enjoy myself. be with my friends as much as i can. with my mom. im reading all the time and i love it. the weather is fantastic, im still going to the beach every day and im using the computer a lot less. i never liked it, but since i got back to israel i have been using it and to be honest, i love it. i was becoming one of those people i never liked. you know, those who cant live without a computer. when the first thing they do when they wake up is checking their emails. i hate those people. after a month with my new laptop i found myself doing the same thing. i hated myself but couldnt stop.
so now im writting down all my thoughts on a piece of paper using a pencil. i read my emails once a day. and i know that in three weeks i wont use it at all anymore. i cant tell you how happy that makes me.
also, im trying something new. you wont hear me say ‘no’ very often anymore. since i’ve been doing that i met some wonderful people, read amazing books, been to egypt and a great concert. i even gave my number to this guy i met. im trying to be a little more possitive. i think its working.
john, i got your CD, thanks a lot i love it. if theres anything you want from israel please let me know, now is the time to ask.
lots of love to all of you
L.

i love my life
i just got back from the beach. left on my bike with a bottle of water and a book. didnt even take my shoes with me. im an anti shoe right now. im having such a wonderful day. the weather is fantastic i love it! i cant stop smiling and everyone else seems to be smiling back. its a really good day.
gonna rest for a few hours and then guess where im going?? yeah baby!! the beach is calling me. beach party right after the sun goes down. i have been drinking nothing but water and mojito for the last two weeks. maybe that why i cant stop smiling. no just kiding. life is great if you want them to be.
so, if you feel sad or angry or just so so, smile. it works!!

new york
i dont really miss new york. not the subway or the food or even the museums. i dont miss walking up and down the streets. dont miss the yellow cabs. not even the amount of people. i lived there for five years and i guess i had enough.
today i went to the movies. the movie with edward norton. great movie. i went with my mom my aunt and my gramma. three generations and we all cried and we all loved the movie. its not easy being a woman. not now and not even 50 years ago. we are so often confused with being complicated when we are really simple creatures. and we all want the same thing. we all want passion. nothing else. not money. or clothes. or diamonds. or a big house. or security. or fame. or a safety net. what we want is simple. maybe even too simple for you to understand. our heart is all we care about. we would all live in a box with the man we love then in a huge house with a man that sits in his office all day long.
are there any men out there that can give us that? i know that there are. my only question is, can it last for more then a week? is there a passion that lasts a life time? or is it just a movie? are all these movies based on real events? or are we all just waiting for something that most likely will never happen?
i was so sure i found my true passion. but i made a mistake. where should i look now? when will i find him? what is he doing right now? what if ill be mistaken again?
i had a long conversation with my gramma today. she didnt love my granfather. they were together for 60 years. she was in love once when she was 17, but he wasnt jewish. they tried to escape together but the police found them the next day and returned them home. the next day she was married to my granfather.
i cant imagine a life without passion. without love. what else is there? what else matters?
after leaving the theatre i felt like im back in new york. i guess i do miss something about new york. the movie theatres. on my day off i would go to see a movie or two or three. i would fall asleep there. talk to people. its a different world. its a world with no boundarias. anything is possible. its ok to dream. and hope. i love that world.
its the first time i was thinking about new york and everything that happened in colorado since i got back. new york is a great city. i loved it. and i still do.

my first kiss
so the wedding was fine. the cake was great. i was playing cards for most of the time and trying to play with the band. had one or two (seven to be exact) drinks and danced a lot.
then, out of no where, this guy showed up. “Lihi? who went to Illanot?” no idea whos the dude. “yeah, thats me, im sorry but who are you?” . he didnt tell me right away. i love this game. my memory sucks! then he told me his name…… nothing. then he told me i once put an egg in his pocket, still nothing. then he told me that the entire school saw us kissing once ( i was eight ) and they all talked about it. that i remembered. he was my first real boyfriend. it was so funny. i havent seen him in years. he told me i look the same and acts the same. so i put some cake in his pocket. he asked for it! we started a grape fight. it was fun. then he reminded me why we broke up. he said we went to the pool and he went to get us a hot dog. and i wanted pizza so i went home and told him im not his girlfriend anymore. the next day he told everyone at school he kissed me with his mouth open. so not true! what a jerk. that was the last time we spoke.
but tonight i gave him my number, the real one, and we are going out on thursday. i think its hilarious.
oh, btw, i really want to know but i was too ashamed to ask, does anyone knows why they break the glass at a jewish wedding? whats the point of that? just curious.
good night ya’ll.

first time for everything
my cousin is getting married today. this is going to be my first wedding ever. i didnt think it was a big deal but it is. everyone is asking me for over a month now what am i going to wear (i guess they all know my closet situation…), i said pants. that was like saying praise jesus in a jewish temple.
so yesterday i had no choice and went to find a dress. yes me a dress. you all know me and you all know how much i hate shopping. after an hour i found a dress. i was so happy and all ready to go home. then they asked me about shoes. oh man, here i go again. shoe hunting. i dont do heels but i found a pair of really nice sandels.
and then i got really into it and got me a necklace as well and a little butterfly for my hair. im so cute! tomer, i know what youre thinking, shut up.
need to get ready now we’re leaving soon. will send you pictures!

the coffee shop
as most of you know i work at a coffee shop in tel aviv, i like the people and after working for almost five years on madison avenue in new york, no one can get on my nerves. if you already know me, then you know how much i hate small talks. i got used to it in new york but hated it. israelis are rude and barley say hello before they order.
anyway, on my first day at work this guy came, short, nice, a smile on his face, he just looked at me and waited for his usual. right. im new here. what can i get you? not a word. then my boss came and gave him his coffee. after he left she told me he had cancer and now cant speak very well.
being me i had to know the whole story ( im such a jew ) and asked him what happened the next day. he told me the whole story and slowly we got to know each other. he’s a nice guy and i can tell that he likes me, and as a big tease ( i cant help it ), i like it.
today when he came i told him to go to the pet store next door and see the new cats (amazing!!!!!!!) so he did. after about an hour he came back with a huge bag full of fishes and a miserable look on his face. haha. i know how he feels. i cant go to one of those stores and get out empty handed.
then i showed him my pictures from turkey, he showed me his pictures from petra ( gorgeous ) and we both sat in the pet store playing with the cats and talking for two hours. and you know what? i had a good time. yes, i had a good time talking to another human being. then i told him im leaving in 2 months and he was the only one not trying to convince me stay. he said he knows the feeling of wanting to disapear.
now, im sick so im going to bed, but i wanna go to sleep with one thought in my head. there is hope. there are still nice people out there. and yes i love david with all my heart but he doesnt love me. i know that now. i do. so as of today, every time a guy will try to talk to me i wont push him away. i will be open to the possibility that theres life after david.
so, maybe i hate my job, but thank god for coffee shops!

marie
hi Marie nice hearing from you again. you know, i think the answer is very simple. read back what you wrote. now, why does anyone needs to control the world? why can we all just have our own beliefs? and you know what, they have been trying to control Israel for 50 years now and i dont think they’re doing such a great job.
you cant make people believe in something! you either believe or you dont. when you force rules on people they fight against it.
Israel is a religious country. they control the country. ill give you a few examples. no buses on the weekends. not just in Jerusalem, the entire country. so the rest of us that wanna go out cant, thats not right.
or if i wanna marry someone who isnt Jewish, my marriage wont be recognized in Israel, its like i never got married. now, i didnt marry a fish. its a human being but still not good enough for a Jew.
here’s one more. if you wanna take a trip to Jerusalem and look around, maybe see the wall, and you’ll do it on the weekend, be careful. they will through stones at you. happened to me a few times. only because im driving on a weekend.
now, they might hurt me, might even kill me( happened in the past ), only because i dont have the same beliefs as they do. im one of them. im Jewish. im Israeli. im a person!
a lot of them are not such great people. come here and ill show you a very different reality them what you read in the newspapers.
the problem is control. people feel like they have to control everything. other people, animals, the weather everything. that’s why our world looks that way. when we’ll stop controlling it, that’s when the real wonder begins.
i know how much you love god and im not telling anything about that. remember i wrote about people who believe in god and people are not god. people make mistakes. people do bad things. some of them are better some wrost. dont look at them as one. faith is wonderful in any shape and color. love is love. just because you love george doesnt mean we all need to love george. have faith. let others have their own.
