yeah why am i still typing, i'm done. that was a day of moi. peace out.

...for fear of lameness...

I shall post on my blog. woohoo. *and the crowd goes wild* Let's see, what have I done in the past half-week. Well, I started going to ballet again, after a 1.5 week break, that was weird. and I met Taikumi, possibly the cutest kid I have ever seen. Although I may be biased, because his Japaneseness magnifies his cuteness by a factor that my sister can't yet count to, probably. And since I practically speak japanese ya know, I have to be the one to figure out how to teach all his teachers and assistants how to say stuff like be quiet and sit down. Because Julia claims it would be better if I asked one of my 4th year buddies than her trying to figure it out, although she'd probably be better than me...i dunno. Andrew Cribbett is really good at languages. It makes me sad that he's not applying to Uni, cuz he really should. he would be an awesome subbie. and he's smart and seems to like learning things, which is not as common as one would hope in a normal middle school population. Oh well. He'll learn a bit of Japanese as a substitute for going to Uni. Its pretty much the same thing.

French cd----> obsession. Thank you Ariana, very good. Obsessed. I like French. I need to go to France. Now. hehe. I like French song lyrics. They almost meet the poeticness/poeticity (whoa...words?) of Israeli songs, which is very hard to do. Tomorrow is a JELC party, w00t. Today we had people over at our house for dinner, and it was terrible. I don't very much like my family sometimes. Sometimes they're cool though. I dunno, it was just bad. Bad job of hosting. Maybe I can go to the pool sometime soon, its been sooo hot. Not as hot as it could be though.

Oh yeah, Friday I went to Taste of ShampooBanana (ewww, bad to taste). It was good, we walked around and knew people and were hot, and ate watermelon, and cheescake on a stick. (O.O) so weeiiiiiiird. It was good though. Hah, everyone I knew that was there was from dance. Except Ariana. So it was kinda depressing, I realized I had no life. However, I am popular at the studio. heh. yeah yeah.

French song....stuck in head. Sleepppppp time. And then maybe I should run tomorrow morning, so I can turn into Sally, or Doug. yay.

...walking down the street...

Yay today I have more lego stuff. Its amazing to me how much time I have spent on campus this summer, I louve it muchly. Although today I actually have to figure out the legos. Its fun, we have Sara, Monah, Lor and I. Very cool people dudes.

SO yeahhhhh. Maybe I can go biking today. Yesterday Alejandra and I trampolined a lot...it's very fun. w00t. Biking Biking Biking. yay. I wayyy haven't done that officially yet this summer. I think. I can't actually remember. If I can't find people to bike with I can go somewhere new and mysterious. or just normal. hee. It's really annoying that everyone is out of town. Oh no, apparently i have to go...oh well. Byebye!

...spelling spelunking...

...is the hardest thing to do in the world. actually quite simple :P. so yeah, yesterday, went spelunking with the fam, and the rest of the countryside summer school "caves" class or something. i was very reluctant to go seeing as it dampered social activity, but i convinced myself to keep my hopes up about that and enjoy the trip. Spelunking itself was actually really really fun, we got so wet and muddy...knee high water for me, but think of the 5 year olds...hehe yeah. it was cool though, the cave was really pretty, in a "natural rock formations r0x0r my b0x0rs" kind of way. then i forgot to bring extra shoes because i didn't know i needed to, and i was using that as an attempt to say something like "ono, i have no shoes, i guess we can't go spend time in st. louis or something, we have to go home straightaway, MAN THAT SUCKS SO MUCH" but it didn't work because we just bought me shoes. :(. i mean, its okay that i have shoes, but we...didn't get home till 11:15ish. and i had slept 3 hours in the car. so that was kinda sucky, i suppose there is an upside that i got caught up in terms of sleep, 13 hours.....thats scary. yeah, the one night this week that i didn't have a late night conversation with domier, i had one with ariana, and although i enjoy those, i think the world is out to get me...or something. "no, noam can't have sleep...noooooo not sleeeeeep!" but i got sleep, so ha. i win.

i don't really have much to say. math camp is over, so no more 5 hours straight of math. on friday i played rock paper scissors THUMB with michelle, that was entertaining. we kinda...couldn't stop laughing, oops. good times. and then we had the exciting campus adventure, where ariana domier and i went around and did...nothing really, we got bubble tea, and ice cream (at DELIGHTS!!! sorry mo) and just like...hung out, once again discovered that noam is too ticklish for her own good.....and then decided to go to Am-Ko, unfortunately that was non-walking transportation -->stress. thats about all i'm going to say pretty much. mmhmm. i wonder who all reads my blog....*cough cough*. hah, i usually fail miserable at the whole "subtlety" thing, this is one example. so yeah, that was pretty fun...hooray for friends!

um thats all i have to say for now. don't comment here as much as on mo's blog now! haha, really PLEASE DON'T that's insane. au revoir, peeps.

...a blog post...

omg, i was reading deep thoughts (the audience goes wild), and one of them really reminded me of mo. hehe.

" Sometimes life seems like a dream, especially when I look down and see that I forgot to put on my pants. "

Anyways yeah. summer is boring, but eventful. i hate it when i'm vague. and you do too.

tata! i actually had nothing to write about, scratch this.

...can't sleep, clowns will eat me...

I can't seem to sleep. *sigh*. It's like something is bothering me, but its pretty subconscious, as I haven't yet figured out what it is. And I have a headache. One that is probably being caused by this mysterious stress. This is quite frustrating. I wish I knew what was wrong so I could do something about it. Or at least rant about how I can't do anything about it to a supportive listener, hehe.

I know what's going on, and different factors that could lead to emotional stress, but I don't know why or what or how. hmm.

sorry for the randomosity/vagueness, peoples.

...excitement is wonderful!...

Most excellent. This weekend was pretty eventful. Lets list what happened!

-Friday morning, got a ride to ballet class because my mother and siblings had just left for Chicago where they were meeting my father. Its so hard to be alone *sniff* it was actually really fine.

- Ballet class, where fans were on all the way and it was still 307 degrees....CELSIUS. we're used to it, its like that everyday.

-Got ride back from the awesome Stark family, discussing that the German people were safely in Germany, including Jessicca. yeps. And realizing I am like the ONLY person with no out-of-country plans this summer. haha oh well we travel to Israel virtually constantly so no complaints here. and I HATE long flights thank you very much

-Arrived at the DeJongs house, where they were awesomely super-duperly nice hosts for Friday and Saturday. They even drove me back to my house when i had forgotten my admission ticket. that was really dumb.

-Got addicted to the OC. well okay not addicted. yeah, I am. NOAM STOP LYING TO YOURSELF. I don't actually know if i can live without it or not, i watched 12 episodes within 48 hours. the first 9 were in 24. *shiver*. So i haven't gont that long without it. I think I'll survive, but it was amusing to see what our school has been obsessing for the past yearish.

-Ate, watched more OC....and a bit more.

-Got the stupid California song really stuck in my head.

-Had my own suite type thing, because i got to sleep in the basement and i had my own room and bathroom and everything and it was scary.

-Couldn't really sleep too well, in anticipation of the ACT i'm sure. Or most probably because I knew I was about to become an undependable friend. oops.

-Got up...Irish soda bread and T. wow i think i am describing things with way too much detail. and the placement of the third raisin was .37 inches to the left of the edge of the bread....

-took the ACT. finished every section EXCEPT THE ESSAY that was dumb. i pretty much finished but then i didn't and i could have and im mad at myself. but science and reading were good so i think i may have improved!

-saw not very many uni people there, but dealt with the extreme depression that followed.

-went home, as in the DeJongs home, more OC, but this time i was really worried during it.

-*worry* and stuff. Antoine's party brought Uni seniors i mean alumni's whoa. that I probably won't see ever again, thats really sad. eventually I went home with the parents and siblings, who had had a pretty rockin' time at the wedding. WHICH my ACT totally beat I'm sure. haha.

-AIM time etc., i don't really remember what I did.

-Oh yes AIM. Domier will die. 'nuff said.

-I'm gonna repeat that. I will kill him when i see him next. *BEWARE*. and he apparently has green hair. haha, i did that just for the rhyme.

-I guess stuff worked out, still sorry for not being a 'dependable' friend. but I promise i'll make it up with a rawkin' party that will be planned for MONTHS, years even in advance, and it will be very fun and stuff. yea.

-Sunday morning...rain is falling. steal some covers...okay i'll shut up. went for a drive, that was actually
really fun, even thought it was my father teaching which i thought would suck. Its funnnn.

-Went to Iiaeaux's house to sign her yearbook, but only thing I actually did was experience a famous banana shake. and then brought the yearbook home where it lays on my desk untouched.

-Israeli partay!!!! rawk on! that was most excellent, because Batia and I have wonderful Jew plans. and we had cheescake. once again, 'nuff said.

-Japan trip left this morning at some ungodly hour i think. *tear* so everyone is officially gone now, and we're stranded in the US of A. cr00t.

-went to driver's ed which was oh so boring but i found people (juniors) in my pe class, and possibly scheduled Season's Greeting's type driving, but its early in the morning hmm.

-got stranded at Grainger where I am now typing this...thats why its so crazily long, sorry. Go read War and Peace instead, it might take less effort.

-lalala waaaaaaiiiiting. my mom's teaching at countryside summer stuff so i'll be picked up in...one hour joy to the world.



So, excitement, no? Let me go find something else to do. i guess i'll just have to read or something.

...i said what i said, i know what i know...

this week has either been really eventful and busy, or really dumb and lazy, i can't really tell. Basically, I've had no time....to do anything. ballet 1-3 5 days a week is hard, and add driver's ed, that erases 6 hrs from my time per week, so yeah, no time. at least not enough in terms of how summer goes.

And notice that i am not in France *grrr* although i don't think i would want to be in France right now, on the trip. But i really really really love France. And I want to go there again at some point. The other day, we were driving down....some street out pretty country-ish going to countryside I think, and we passed this field and my mind transformed it into a field of sunflowers and i breathed in and i had this huge and irresistible urge to be in France. It was surreal. and then also, my mind sort of refused to breathe Illinois air for a couple of seconds. so at that time, being in France was necessary to my life's continuation. which is um scary.

Since it's summer, I remember my dreams now! this is a definite upside. although they have been quite bizarre....haha okay very bizarre. I forgot most of them but I will try to post some if I can.

Oh yes and I got my permit *excitement*. I ....think I like driving? It was sorta fun but I don't like other cars, because i mess up and then i am in the middle of the road. actually this only happened once, so I'm okay. Once my dad actually teaches me how to drive I think I'll be uber-okay. Cuz my mom's kinda crazy. yeahhhh.

Other excitement in Noam's life? yes, ACT tomorrow. yumyum.

Haha, and i have to teach continuing ballet for Daniela next week, and i am sooo sorry for them because no offense to Daniela, or the art of ballet in general, but the first couple years of ballet are sooooo boring! wtf! why do people stick with this? why did I stick with this? omg. like now, in my class, we do fun stuff, or we do stuff that you really have to focus on and you feel accomplished when you have control and have done something well. but my gosh. 16 counts of like....really really slow moving legs, to be followed by another 16 counts. and another! its terrible. and they're kids! that should be at the pool or eating ice cream or running through sprinklers or making grass angels! oh dear. Ballet is wonderful later on, but i feel sorry for them nonetheless.

So. French trip has left. German trip left yesterday. Japan trip on monday...um i think that's it at least for uni people. some dance people going on vacation...well emily's on the japan trip. and she is supposed to investigate all this Japan dance stuff for Christine. i wonder if sensei ever took ballet hahaha. There is a little Japanese boy in the 3-4 yr. old class that doesn't speak english so they have to figure out how to say listen to your teacher and sit down and be quiet. well, i even theoretically know sit down but yeah.

humdedum. yep. need to sign some more yearbooks. hehe, a bit overdue but thats okay. need to think..what to write. yay.

gooooooodnight. or morning, whichever you prefer.

...its the first day of summer officially now!!!...

and i feel fine. w00t. dude, its monday. and i'm not at school. although i did go to kenney 1st period (sorta, well, first thing in the morning) so it was kinda depressing. for drivers ed. but its not all subbies so i was happy. actually its all sophomores, so i know pretty much everyone to some extent, and the're are cool people yay. today i learned that stop signs have eight sides, and when a sign says 'one way' it means 'one way' (never could have figured it out). also stuff about getting permits and licenses, excitement.

so yesterday evening i was out in...sort of the country, ya know, north urbana whoa far. and the sunset was really pretty! and it was country so you could see the whole sky, and it just looked like it had been planned like that by a powerhungry photographer.

plus i had cake (with just a bit too much frosting hehe) and hung out with my dance/senior peeps. (what what!)

and this weekend i picked the first clover of the summer. how cool is that?

i must go biking. but first, off to dance! (its been worked out more than i thought it would be. if i don't come back you'll know who killed me! yay.)

jjk. byebye.



P.S. if i didn't write i love you in your yearbook and you are reading this you can add it now for good luck or something.

...court ruling, case closed...

so neither side could really bend in the Christine vs. Mother case. Went all the way to the supreme court, it seemed.

So I guess I'm not a teacher. right about now...they're probably doing shuffles, or ball changes or the such. nah, probably still on heel steps. The only thing I regret is being so weak in front of Christine. Because now I don't even want to show my face.

And my mom feels really bad about doing this to me. But I don't want to be mad at her, she's probably right. I feel terrible for making her feel bad. I said it wasn't that big of a deal, she said it was, and she was really really sorry, she knew how much I wanted to be a teacher.

But its okay, because when I was crying the sky was crying too. so I feel very loved by nature.

And all I can say to that is w00t.


Note to self: it is now 5:38, i am gonna have gorgeous eyes for the physics final ;)

...C-Y-B-E-R-chase!...

tanya puts it perfectly:
stellsonic: awwww... the yearbook crew is so encouraging: "As junior year looms ahead, the sophomores realize their easy days are over."
roamnoth: well......theyre right
stellsonic: well, that's true... but it sounds like something from either a drama or a horror movie


IT IS....its like a combination of both. BUT GUESS WHAT its over. except for physics final. and... even though i havent studied (yes, you read it right, i haven't studied, at all, unlike the rest of our class....) i will pretty much just...do it. and i don't really care. of course i will study, but its predetermined anyways, right?

heh, my mom said that if i don't get an A in math i can't take jockusch math next year. that kinda really really sucks. (haha, maybe i'll be in domier's math class after all, :P) i...erg, want to be in that class. i HAVE to be in that class. i want to get an A. please???

dance dance dance! i have tap tonight! yayyyyy. and TEACHING tomorrow. omg, yay. and *scared* aaaaa. i can't teach, are these people crazy? why am i a teacher. well, i did plan out my lesson while i should have been bio-projecting, shhh don't tell my parents. (haha, i did other stuff while i should have been bio-projecting toooooo lalala)

mk, time to put my sisters hair up in a pretty pretty bun. heh not.

in case mo is reading this: REGISTER i might make up on fridays anyways, so it won't be completely dumb. and i bet it won't be as completely boring as mpitt thinks it will!

P.S. i got a 95% on my french oral! w00t, i thought i sucked though. and i didn't like how you had to grade yourself and then she disagreed/agreed. yuck.
