love for a friend

2007-05-28T03:01:55Z

There’s this tight, specific, overwhelming feeling when you’re so in love with someone. It boils your blood and makes your knee caps feel like they’re oozing into gelatin and all the other crazy truisms you can vaguely imagine your body lapsing into. Clichés we have read about over and over again. But I think friendship sort of encompasses all those literary stereotypes into one fixed, beautifully solid emotion. Lovers come and go and rip your insides out through your nostrils, but friends remain. Like a giant safety blanket you can grasp on to and still feel secured by even in the deepest of sleeps.

i'm trying very hard here to up and go this awful moody slump i've been in for the past three days, but i can't seem to fight it off. it doesn't seem as if i've done anything remotely noteworthy this vacation and that gets me so down, because i had high hopes. i've also let my mom down because i walked luke only a block today and when she met me at bay street i turned around and walked back home instead of keeping her company. i know it's not a very big deal, but i felt guilty.

i'm a guilt-stricken recluse. great.

i am bored of every single song on my iTunes.

i'm not sure what the deal is boy-wise with me because they seem to come and go lately. less coming more going (pun!) but i think i've finally learned not to dwell on that junk because i know it really is just a waste of time.

in other news, i got my second trimester report card which made this month so wonderful :)! i was also asked to submit my short story to the "westchester young writers competition" sweet! i don't find out where i place until mid-april, but i'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best!! i really am sorry i haven't been posting any pictures, but when i de-lazy myself i promise to.

license countdown= 2 weeks!

For most of my life I have grown up, like many others, petrified of insects. Spiders, fruit flies, beetles…you name it and I have probably squashed it. But more recently I have turned into a pro-life, permissive, bug-lover.
    You see, about five months ago my family and I moved from one small New York City suburb to another. Although still bustling with ant colonies, spider farms, and sky scrapers built for meal worms; Piermont, NY seems to be a better, less bucolic choice for us creepy-crawly haters. Well, so I thought.
    My first day in our new house was spent schlepping and unpacking objects that I didn’t even know my family owned in the first place. The exterior of the house is old but the inside renovated tastefully. With low ceilings and small, intricate antique details that my parents have such adoring taste for. We were all extremely happy with the new transition. I must admit, much of my happiness stemmed from the idea of having the whole entire fourth floor to myself. The idea of being able to stay up late, blast music, and talk on the phone until abnormally early hours in the morning really appealed to me. All of this without the constant nagging from my stereotypical Jewish mother. My favorite line of hers being: “Talia, clean up your room! The housekeeper is coming tomorrow!”
    Anyways, it was our fourth day in our great new house. I was just getting ready to shower in my great new bathroom when I suddenly noticed a football shaped dot travel across the creamy, granite-tiled floor of my bathroom. Suitcase and top-hat in hand. A ladybug. I jumped in the air and shrieked (with impressive pitch, might I add). In the midst of all this madness, nearly dropping my orange towel. This consequently would have exposed my bare bottom to the new neighbors who were enjoying an innocent barbeque outside my bathroom window. Cringing in my own flesh, I ran into my closet, seizing a large thermal winter boot, and quickly attacked the nauseating creature sliming across my gorgeous immaculate floor. “SUCKER!” I snickered out loud. Talia- 1 Ladybug- 0. My mother put in a call to the local exterminator.
    A solid two weeks later, enjoying a supposed pest-free environment, I decide to take a break from some math homework and shower. Now, for me, showering is my only down time all day (seeing as I am usually a nervous, neurotic, nail-biting wreck). It gives me a chance to loosen up and relax. A good six minutes into my shower something bizarre catches the corner of my eye. I slowly turn my head—like a victim in a horror movie shower scene—and to my shock, there it is…another ladybug! Basking on my soap dish and taking in the suds. This just did not seem fair--or normal for that matter. For, since when are ladybugs hydrophilic? Traumatized, I lugged myself out of the shower and walked towards my sink to rinse the rest of the already-lathered shampoo out of my hair.
    After rinsing the suds and washing my face, I looked up from my towel and noticed that not only had my shower turned into a vacationing spot for these little bugs but apparently they had taken a liking to my lime-green walls as well! There were about six or seven of them lounging about. I had to pinch myself from this Hitchcockesque experience. Forget The Birds, now it was all about The Ladybugs.
    Weeks and weeks went by, and it really took me a while to adapt to my new housemates. They were amongst my folded laundry, in my container of cotton balls; they lolled on the vanity of my bathroom sink—sipping remnants of cinnamon toothpaste from the morning. It seemed as if they were truly enjoying their rent-free residence.
    Maybe I have officially come to terms with these interminable ladies, because as time has gone by, I have found myself oddly drawn to them. Unable to squash, squat, or bug spray them away. They sit daintily in my shower—occasionally flapping their wings trying to dismiss me from their habitation. I don’t bother them anymore though. And I do not shriek or run for a fatal winter boot in attempt to commit a mass buggy genocide. Instead, we coexist on the fourth floor, occasionally sharing lady secrets. Occasionally bathing in unison. After all, girls will be girls. Ladies will be bugs.

i must admit: i'm extremely concerned.
ben comes home in exactly six days which means i see him in about twelve or so.
i'm petrified. completely petrified.
i know that the more i speak to him, the worse it is, but spending a weekend with him?! him being away has been healthy for me.
what is this going to be like all over again?
my whole body is buzzing. i've been recollecting all the weird things we've done to eachother. we torture eachother. we try and try and try to get eachother jealous, and he has been (figuratively) eating away at my body for so long and i am so tired. i am so, so tired. i don't know what to expect but i know that seeing him is not going to be good for me at all. i don't have a choice though. i was asked to participate at the limmud conference again and i can't pass this up, but i just.....i don't know. a whole weekend with him. i don't know!

i want him to kiss me. i don't want him to kiss me. i want him to, but he won't.
i'm messy. i'm petty.
messy and petty.

at my brother's bar-mitzvah my kate spade pumps broke, so my mom exchanged them for a better color/less broken heel.
check it out!

originally i bought them in camel, but i think black is better. they look better on than off.

it's really sad that i went to the movies with someone else's boyfriend tonight just so i could feel another body next to mine.

i am a homewrecker.
casino royale was so long!

i long to tell you that i'm always thinking of you

2006-12-08T04:32:43Z

it's my opinion that my heart is rather broken. but that implies that i have a heart. i guess i do, but it's totally flawed and doesn't work for shit. i don't know how to love but i am constantly falling for one idiot after the other. that's just the way it goes.

[sorry to be so crude but] my youknowwhat is growing spiderwebs, i swear to god.

i feel as if i've been neglecting you lately, live journal.
here goes.
as usual, nothing is new over here. school has been going so marvelously though. my grades have been really great (with the exception of rabbinics.)
today i handed in my "smooth endoplasmic reticulum" paper for biology which was a huge burden up until now.
i also made a 3D model of it out of neon sculpy (clay that you can bake). it really stunk up the house when i put it in the oven, but it looked sort of neat & was worth it in the end.
as for tonight, we had our first YJ club meeting of the year! i made a nice tzedakah box and ate my body mass in pringles.

also, i should mention that my thanksgiving was fun! kaley and her family/a bunch of others came over for dinner which was nice as usual.
then our family friends from missouri came in friday night.
saturday night emily, amy, and i went into the city to eat a lot of chinese food and smoke a lot of hookah which made me really dizzy.
on sunday i became a hermit and did work and moped around.
i've come to the realization that if i am not with my friends or if i am sitting at home, i am miserable.

bad news: tower records has officially gone out of business! i feel so ashamed to be one of many illegal downloaders!

it's aright

2006-11-24T06:05:48Z

are we ever really in love?
or is it just that we're addicted to the exquisite pain of wanting someone unattainable?

things have been so odd lately.
i've realized that good things certainly DO NOT come in small packages.

the good news is ben is back in israel from his trip to russia, poland, and prague so now he has internet access. we got to speak tonight which was nice.
he sent me a few pictures, but this one is my favorite:

(Ben: left)

i promise to post about more worthwhile things tomorrow!

i went into the city today with vinnie and emily. it was nice. we spent most of the time chasing after vinnie who is a ridiculously fast walker. i had excellent pizza in a place that plays modest mouse!! we went to urban outfitters and anthropologie (extremely disappointed) and then to american apparel. we also had a nice run-in with zeke down by NYU and spent some time checking out the kama sutra books in barnes and noble.

just need to remind myself that i'm going to survive this week.

great things:

city on friday with e.fox and maybe vinnie or maybe rachel or whomever
a fabulous new text messaging relationship with a fabulous freshman
three and a half days of school!
good skin (thank you, 40$ proactive!!!!!!!!!!)
people are putting their christmas lights up already!?!?!
the fall foliage is stunning
my new lime green autumn coat

things that suck:

homework
SAT tutoring
itchy, cold weather
no love
where's ben??

in other news: this weekend was very, very nice to say the least. although most of my time was spent traveling on a smelly bus or on a fancy train---it was all done with the wonderful samuel aaron berger and it was great. we ventured to zach's house for our maz night and then had a meeting with sara berger this morning which was (surprisingly) productive. then i had sami's sweet sixteenie tonight which was fun. i danced a lot and my feet still hurt. bad choice of shoes.

sleep time! ta ta!
