My life is a Bubblegum Potato

Confused by the title, well let me explain. Idon'tknowhowtobeanadulteverythingissoconfusingahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
There.

View on the way to Midrasha

Ok so basically these past two weeks have been very...idk. Last week it was groundhogs day which my mother and i like to celebrate by telling everyone it's groundhogs day...yeah. We watched Groundhogs day (the movie) and then my mom had nightmares about it, i was fine. Shabat i went to the Midrasha and i met Ariella Wallfish there with Elana...Eliana? i forgot her name. I was there since two friends from the army came and we were chillen and it was fun. I saw my old Ulpan teacher across the road but she didn't recognize me i guess, i did change a lot from 9th grade. I also saw a black and white cat and called it Bruce. I walked to Arnona from Armon Hanatziv and almost every family i passed spoke english. we're taking over! Then on my way back it started to pour and i got soaked.
So work has gotten a little more interesting, haha no I'm joking but i did actually get work to do so i have something to do now, for like an hour at least anyway. We have a concert coming up so i have to get credic card details for people who want tickets and at first my boss told me only she and the secretary were going to deal with it but now they want me to call people and I HATE THE TELEPHONE WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME! One guy the secretary called and he said to call at 1 pm. So she gave him to me to call, i got his details then realized i didn't know where to assign him to sit since only my boss and secretary did that. They both left early and i was alone so i told him i'd call the next day to confirm it. They told me to choose a seat for him which was nerve racking but i called him and confirmed his seats and then i tried to charge his credit card and IT DIDN'T WORK! I tried 11 times with different end numbers because i wasn't sure if i heard him right but nothing worked! So i tried calling him back and his wife picked up and told me to call back in half an hour because they were in the car. I didn't, i just left then yesterday i avoided them. Today i got the guts and i called and got his details again. I told him 'I'm sorry for bugging you, have a ni-' then i heard the phone hang up....Please don't hate me i just made a few mistakes! Worst part is on the night of the concert i have to meet him and give him his ticket.
AND THEN I OVERCHARGED SOMEONE! i thought they wrote 320 so i charged that then i re-read it and thought it wrote 520 so i charged his card again already feeling guilty only to realize i was right the first time and it was actually 320 so i overcharged a dude 200 shekels and i couldn't reimburse him till SUNDAY! the guilt and ahhhhhh, i felt so horrible, WHY CAN'T PEOPLE WRITE CLEARLY!
Since i don't know how most things work in the office whenever someone calls with questions about the therapies and stuff all i can say is call back since the only reason i answer the phone is because everyone else is busy. Honestly it would be simpler to just let the answering machine get it since they could leave an actual message instead of having me tell the boss, someone called wanting something. Why do people mumble! or why do they call with crying babies or honking horns in the background. Dude i can't help you if i can't hear anything you're saying!
Oh so last week i went to pick up recycling from a all girls high school that donated it to us (for us to recycle and get money from, although it's more annoying then helpful. I have to sort though two large bags of sticky bottles and junk and then only get 20 shekels -_-). So i went with the secretary and the guard at the gate asked if we were looking in for next year. I told the secretary i was honored that he thought i was so young, i was in high school and she was my mom. She's 30 and she got offended and said maybe he thought she was in high school and i was the mom. XD
When i waited for my bus it was super packed so i thought i'd walk home and then i got two blisters (yay) so my feet hurt(and when i got home i found my sock covered in blood). And of course the days when i'm not wearing proper clothes/shoes or when it's raining is the day i'm sent out to run errands. I wore my boots which hurt my feet and i had to go to the post office, evil speedos and the market. The post office took forever as always and the lady i went to first said she didn't know how to help me and transferred me to someone else. So i had to wait till the second lady was done for her to help me and someone cut in front of me. Then she said her computer couldn't do the thing i needed so she had to show the lady i first went to how to do it and i had to wait AGAIN for her to be dome with someone till i got to be served (all i wanted to do was send 400 letters- if you send over 50 you don't have to put on stamps). I dropped the mail off at the office then went out again to accomplish my other missions.

Potato is the new gum

Then speedos was nice but then i forgot the receipt and after i went to the market which all i had to do was buy milk but the express line, where people are only allowed to put 10 items but for some reason in that market people can't read or count so the express line is filled with annoying old people with 1000 items and 1000 coupons and arguing with them is pointless, took forever. Once a guy claimed that cucumbers and tomatoes counted as one since they were vegetables....seriously? Also i found a potato in the gum box. So then i walked all the way back from the market only to be sent out a third time to pick up the receipt and get something i forgot at the post office. So yeah my feet hurt.
A guy who works for us in the uk came and he gave us chocolate and since i'm the only one in the office i'm slowly eating it all.
Oh then Thursday night i saw Deadpool! The theater was jam packed with people and we got good seats luckily and i got to sit in between 2 soldiers. Ok one was my friend from midrasha but the other was a cute guy who laughed really loudly, too be fair everyone did because the movie was hilarious, but he clapped a lot as well. Anyway the movie was great but don't watch it with your parents, there are a lot of dirty jokes and naught scenes if you know what i mean. It got a little uncomfortable when they got naked and yeah....

 Check out the birthday card
 my cousin sent me

OH i also saw a cute guy while walking to the theater with Kylo Ren's lightsaber (he's from star wars juliet) and i was smiling because the lightsaber was awesome (clearly it was a fake one, if it was real i probably would have ran away) and the guy saw me smiling and he smiled at me and we had a romantic geek moment. If i was batya i probably would have flirted with him but i'm not and instead i just walked on. Oh and i saw Eliana at the theater as well. Well to be honest i forgot my phone at the snack boothe and i ran cutting though people back to get it. The workers said they found a phone and thats when eliana tapped on my shoulder said hi and i said hi back slightly shocked to see her but too distracted to make small talk, then ran to follow the guy who took me to my phone and never saw her again...oops.

There was a cat at the bus stop filled with people sitting in the middle of the bench not giving a crap about anyone. It had this face like 'just try and scare me away, this is my spot'. Of course it was in the middle of the bench as well.

You guys think i wrote enough? XD.

Art Angst and Awkward Encounters

It's that time of the week again...

'Sup guys, Juliet again! Here's the latest report:

First: Pretty trees! 

So last week was actually technically one of my busiest weeks of the semester, since I had 2 tests, 1 quiz and one paper, all on the same week. So this week is much more relaxing in comparison; the calm after the storm.

Anyway, I had to do a watercolor painting with complimentary colors for my art class on Monday. So I worked all Sunday on trying to get it done before class the next day. I had originally started it last Thursday, spending over 3 hours on it, before realizing that I was using the wrong type of paper. NOOO!!! So I emailed my professor about it, asking if it was okay if it wasn't the correct paper.

Come Sunday, still radio silence. So I frantically (and sadly) restarted the whole thing from scratch, spending over 8 hours straight on Sunday trying to get it right. Finally, at 11:30pm, the police came to kick me out, saying that it was past closing. So I had to frantically run around and gather my things. But the policeman was really nice, and even offered me a ride back to the dorm. All the policemen here are really nice here; not sure why. Not that I'm complaining.

Sunday night, upon the completion of my piece, I received an email from my professor, saying that it was okay if I used the wrong paper, see you on Monday.

....

Anyway, here is the fruit of my labor. What do you guys think? I'll know my grade probably by next week, along with the grade for my other piece, in charcoal.

In other news, I had a funny/awkward encounter the other night. To set the scene: It was about midnight on a Thursday night when I attempted to throw away an empty chip bag, when I realized, to my dismay, that the trash can was stubbornly refusing to ingest the bag, so full of other food wrappers that it immediately ejected the bag upon its entrance, leaving me with a mess. So it was with a heavy heart that I finally accepted that it was time, at last, to empty my trash can.

Since I was studying with music coming from my phone at the time, I decided to take my phone with me, music still playing, as I took out the trash and recycling (might as well recycle while already abandoning the warmth of my dorm room). So I walked out into the hallway and into the common room (where the trash cans are located), in high spirits because a good song had just come on.

It turns out that I walked into an awkward scene. This couple, a guy and a girl, were apparently in the middle of a serious conversation when I walked in. As I got closer, the guy suddenly pulled the girl towards him, and they started making out.

Well, I came here with a task to do, so I continued on my path to the trash cans and started to sort through my trash. Besides, the other trash cans were so far away!

Upon realizing my presence, the couple broke away hastily, looking right at me. The guy started to glare at me with the intensity of a laser beam. But I would not be intimidated, darn it. It's called a COMMON room, the room of all the COMMON people in the hall. If you want privacy, go to your own dorm. So I calmly sorted through my trash while the guy continued to glare. I was not bothered at all; I had good music, and cardboard and plastics to sort! So I simply continued with my task, enjoying my music, finally leaving when my task was complete.

Another thing: If you want romance, I would choose a different location then next to the trash cans. Just saying: Week old pizza and rotten bananas does not seem like the ideal place to impress a girl, but maybe that's just me.

When I returned, my roommate said "Wow, you've got guts, Juliet!" I don't consider myself to be very bold, but I do intend to finish a task when I start it. Plus, it was very funny; it's hard for a guy to look intimidating when his hair is all messed up from his make-out session ;)

More art angst: Yesterday, we had to draw curtains with charcoal and pastels. While everyone else got started right away, I first sat down and just stared at the curtains, trying to find the perfect composition for my drawing. My art professor came by, and asked "Are you okay, honey?", just because I had been staring at curtains for over 2 minutes. Sheesh! Good art takes time, you know, and I need time to properly visualize my future masterpiece. I'm only slightly insane.

Also: In my art class, there are about 11 girls, and exactly one boy. Truth to be told, he is probably the only one in the class without any previous art instruction. But I admire his spirit: It's not easy being the only guy.

But anyway, most of the girls in my class have boyfriends, apparently. So whenever they go to the art studio to work on their piece for 4+ hours, their boyfriends tag along, and just sit at the table across the room, waiting for them. While this may seem sweet, the annoying thing is that the boyfriends accumulate, thus forming this boyfriend "club" in the corner, chatting amongst themselves. It reminds me of a parents' corner during little kid parties.

This is annoying for me, because:
a) the art studio is crowded enough already, and
b) I like working on art in quiet.

Seriously, why do they wait all day for their girlfriends? Don't they have anything better to do than to just sit there for over four hours? Go do homework, or study, or something. It's not like they get to talk with their girlfriends; they just it on opposite ends of the room, waiting for them to be finished. So yeah, it's sweet but a tad annoying.

Creepy Charlie update: Nothing much, just seeing him around occasionally. The other day, on the way out of the cafeteria, I crossed paths with him. We didn't really make eye contact, so I wasn't really sure it was him; all I knew was that I was grateful that I was leaving when he was just entering. When I turned back to see if it really was him, I was met with him also turning back, looking straight back at me. Our eyes met. This was very awkward, so we both turned away hastily. Well, okay.

Also, I downloaded Subway Surfers (remember, with Esti?) onto my phone last week. For some reason its a lot easier for me now. I played a single run for over an hour, and got the #1 highest score in the United States!! Diamond ribbon! I included a picture to document this proud moment. I competed against complete strangers who spend all their time playing phone games, and won!! HAHA!!! This goes under one of my life's proudest moments :)

Hope all is well with you guys, see you in the next installment!
~Juliet :)

P.S. Tirtza, I watched Akagami no Shirayukihime, if you didn't already know. Love it! But I keep on wishing that the castle will catch fire or a war will start, so that we can get some more action. Oh well.

In the Write Mind

Hey guys,
I'm in a writing mood, no idea why though. I have 6 or 7 fanfics in the making but I can't seem to get anywhere so that's why I thought of choosing random prompts from Pinterest and making mini stories. My favorite prompts so far are; "No, precious human, you are not the last," he said in a soft, compassionate tone. "You are the first". 

The other is; Write about the dragon who rescued the princess from the knight. I have a small story for this one, but the other one is still plot-less.

I actually had a plot that came to me randomly when I was on the bus...though it is slightly demented and bloody. Okay so the main character (still debating on whether it should be a girl or a guy) and their group of four other friends were kidnapped by a sociopath or accidentally got involved in something dangerous and were taken for knowing too much, (cliche I know but that's all I have right now). Anyway, because of the trauma the main character suffered it caused them to develop a split personality, when they were rescued the police got involved but due to the main characters split personality they are unable to get much but seemingly unimportant, gibberish like riddles.

But, one cop/investigator sees them for what they are...hints, riddles. It was the main characters only way they could cope with what happened (What happened? like I said that's where it gets gory so I'll leave that out XP) (So I cant decide if I want the cop to be male and the main character female, or in reverse...Help?) I need to do some research on Split personalities.

That's all I really have at the moment so...yeah.

Oh! My games came in the mail todaaaaay!!!! YES!!
I now have to wait for one more game, after that I have the wig I ordered for my Zoro costume and the clip on earrings, I'm hoping they get here before the Con.


Here is the wig I ordered for Zoro, I love it!! Hope its what I get...

I spent 8 hours washing dishes and shredding cheese at work today nothing really interesting. I miss having the whole group together, I cant wait till you get back Juliet, remember us talking about going to the beach when we were in school? you still want to go? But maybe we'll take the train, I don't know why but I love trains, the old ones not the stupid light rail we have...
I'm re-watching Castle right now...


I'm sooooo soooo bored!!!!
Well I guess that's it, see ya'll later!!

Heartbreak, and I'M A FREAKING GENIUS!! :D

Hello everyone, Juliet again! :)

Several issues I want to talk about today. But first:

So I heard from my roommate that a girl sitting behind me in my philosophy class last semester had briefly dated this one guy, but he dumped her :( Anyway, now she was just very sad, and just wanted a guy who wanted to be with her, aww.

Then recently, she got all happy again because she apparently got a crush on this other guy, thus getting over her old heartbreak. My roommate and I were happy for her, and when my roommate asked who she liked, she said "Charlie".

.......

O_O


CREEPY CHARLIE??? WHAT???? WHY??!? Anyway, continuing:

So she went out with him and a bunch of friends, apparently. They got drunk, and apparently she confessed to Creepy Charlie her feelings for him. He told her that he had had feelings for her for a while, and they made out.

The next day, when the girl talked to Creepy Charlie again, he said that he never liked her, and he doesn't remember kissing her at all. Now she is, of course, very upset again. Jerk.

So. Make of that what you will. Moving on:

Art class turned out to be just as intense (if not more) than I had originally imagined. As you guys may know, for our last class had to have our charcoal still-life drawings about 60% completed by next class (which was this past Monday, yesterday). So I worked really hard on mine, getting mine done more like 85%.

When it came time for the second art class of the semester, we first had to each individually walk to the front of our room, displaying our piece, and have our classmates and the professor critique it. There were a handful of students who did not spend much time (if any) on their drawings outside of class, as they were still just pencil outlines so far. A girl who volunteered to be first was one of these few, and man, the professor just ROASTED her. She said that she didn't have respect for art, that this was unacceptable behavior that WILL NOT be repeated, etc., right in front of the whole class. I don't think that I was the only one who felt very awkward witnessing this. The few students who were yelled at held their ground very well, but I felt like if I was in their shoes, I would have probably been fighting back tears by now.

I went last (classic Juliet), and luckily the professor offered me a rare smile. When she asked everyone to critique it, right away this one girl said "That's your piece?" and I replied "Yeah..." and she said "As soon as I walked into the studio and saw it this morning, I started fangirling like crazy!" So that made me feel good. Of course, the professor had to bring me down by saying "But you are going to add detail to the flowers of course, am I correct?" Bahh. There was a reason that I ignored the flowers- there are so many! For next week, we have to have that drawing completely finished, as well as a complimentary color watercolor piece (that we haven't even started in class) completely finished. Too much work :( Oh well.

I also had my first astronomy test today. I'm not sure how well it went; hopefully I did okay. There were a lot of questions that were not on the study sheet, which is annoying. Most of the questions were essay answers. One of the questions was "What two elements are stars mainly composed of?", which wasn't on the study sheet. All I could think of was Hydrogen, but then Helium came to mind. I was like Helium? That's random. But I had no other ideas, so I just wrote it down. Afterwards I looked it up, and it turns out I was right!!! YESSS!!! Good job, brain. I have no idea how you knew that.

Right after this, I had a quiz in Shakespearean English. The professor read the questions aloud, and we had to write down the answers. The professor had just asked "Which character was added to the film that was not included in Shakespeare's written play?" when a guy walked in late. When he sat down, he raised his hand politely, and when the professor said "Yes?" he said "Bottom's wife!" The professor, annoyed, said "This is a QUIZ! You're not supposed to say the answer out loud!" and he replied "Whoops, sorry, I didn't know that we were taking a quiz." We all laughed a lot, and she had to come up with a new question.

Anyway, when she asked "What animal did Puck ride on during the beginning scene of Act 3?" I was stumped, not remembering Puck riding on anything. Lion? No, I would have remembered a lion. Maybe a horse? But I don't remember any horses in that scene... All of a sudden, the word "turtle" just appeared in my head. Just the word; I couldn't even picture Puck riding a turtle. Turtle?? That's random, I don't remember any turtles! But I don't have anything else, and I'm running out of time...  So I wrote "turtle". When the professor read aloud the correct answers, and she said "turtle", I was like "I'M A FREAKING GENIUS!!! THANK YOU, BRAIN!!!!" These moments almost never happen to me, haha.

Side-note: My English professor is pretty funny. I always write down little things that she says. A few examples:

"Somedays, you just want to see things blow up. It will make absolutely no sense.. in the most beautiful way."

"He's a soul-sucking pit of weirdness."

Also, when she was grading our papers, she told us: "You guys are all doing really well. I'm impressed. But you guys have to stop doing well." When we were confused by this statement and asked her to elaborate, she told us that if everyone in a class is doing well, even if they deserve good grades, the administration gets suspicious of the professor inflating everyone's grades, to make his/her students happy. Then the administration might step in and either fire the professor or make the curriculum much harder, so people will receive lower grades. Apparently the whole point of Ivy League schools is to challenge students, and if you are getting As then you are apparently not being challenged enough. Stupid, I know.

Sorry for the long post, I just suddenly had a lot to write about (as you can see). Have a good week, guys!

Strange dreams

So like Rachel mentioned we hung out at my brother's place on Thursday. I held the baby for the first time and she fell asleep on me. She is so cute! Rachel sucks at taking pictures though so after i forced her to take some pictures she took a couple of crappy ones without telling me my hair looked like a hurricane hit it or that my shirt needed fixing. I took nice pics of Rachel and she didn't even have to ask. -_-. 
ANYWAY so let me tell you about a couple of the weirdest dreams I've been having this week. Oh by the way my cat has been slowly pushing me off my own bed. Oogie the fatso likes sleeping in the middle and on my pillow so I get pushed to the side. I have to fight him sometimes for my pillow and i woke up several times to him eating my hair and sometimes he even sits on my face in order for me to move in order to take my pillow. He's heavy and when you're half asleep he gets even heavier so moving his almost out of the question. It's nice when he sleeps on my shoulder, until i want to move. So back to weird dreams.
One night i dreamed that some army was coming to our land and we had to warn the king so i went with a group of people to him. He was sitting with his children in some ruins (it kind of reminded me of Masada) and he looked totally calm when we told him that an army was literally popping out of the ground. He asked his eldest daughter who he wanted to prepare to be queen what should be done and while she thought the younger daughter who looked like one of those creepy tiny evil people in animes. You know the tiny guys who look like kids who are actually psychopaths? Yeah so she came up and was like "i want to be queen." with a freaky look in her eyes. Scene changed and i was in a scene from the movie Hidalgo which is about a horse race. I was with a bunch of others but instead of horses we were on these ostrich-camel things and we started racing but we had to chase things as well as try and make it to the finish line (i don't know it was confusing). Anyway i was chasing a really fat zebra when a lion attacked me. I hid behind a rock while it was looking for me after it attacked and my ostrich-camel completely disappeared. The the lion told me he didn't want to hurt me he was just under orders from the evil princess to destroy everyone who is on the crown princesses side. So i hid and went to this place that looked like Beit Shemesh to someone's house and i told the old lady who i apparently knew that she needed to help me. So she gave me some food and a really large blanket for my journey which i was going to go on. I'm not really sure why i had to go on this journey i feel like it was a sort of finishing the race/ rescue the princess/ save the country from evil army coming journey. Then a friend from L.A. came with me and i had to convince her to leave her Shabbaton she was attending to join me. She did and we went to this ball where i over heard someone plot to harm the crown princess. I heard them coming my way so i freaked and ran out of the ball where this hot guy (i think he was an anime character and i feel like he was wearing the outfit the guy from SAO wears) stopped me and searched me because i looked suspicious running away from the ball he thought i had just assassinated someone and was running away. I told him i was just in a hurry and he could search me for weapons and i was wearing a long leather trench and he found a secret pocket while he was searching for weapons and i totally freaked out on him and if it was an anime i would have become a chibi and i would have been bouncing up and down in excitement for having a totally epic secret pocket. I think i almost woke up from the excitement. Anyway i left and we all met up to play video games while we rested up for our long journey ahead to save and help the crown princess from her evil little sister. I then woke up to Oogie's butt in my face,
The next dream i had was that i was attending a prestigious school and i was walking with others from a small village to the castle like building over these closed train tracks when a train came even though they said that no trains ever came there and soldiers came out and told us to all get in and we kind of just looked at them confused and then i woke up to find both Oogie and Duke had managed to shove me against the wall. If it wasn't for the wall i probably would have ended up on the floor because both of those fat butt faces like sleeping in the middle of the bed and stretching out. I wish i remembered more of that dream.
Another dream was that my oldest brother and i went to a small ball and honestly the first half i was just freaking out about makeup and i was running late and i kept going back in time trying to put on my makeup only to finish late so i'd restart and go back in time to try and go faster and put on makeup but i'd still be late for the ball. I hate that kind of dream but i finally gave up and i went to the ball with my brother, oh and the ball was on a ship i think traveling over land. Juliet you were there then disappeared to study i think. I think i planned on eating in the corner with Tirtza who also disappeared on me. I remember hanging out with someone who looked like Shiran then the whole going back in time thing happened again and I entered the ball room hall with my brother and we were both looking totally epic in matching Tuxedos. Yes i wore a tux to a ball but i had a really pretty silky black skirt with it not pants. Just letting you know i didn't go with my brother as a partner we just went together...yeah. Oh then i went to go eat and had retainers for some reason and i had to go over to wear the snooty rich guys were hanging out in order to find my case to put my retainers so i could stuff my face. That's all i remember.
I had more dreams but i can't remember them and i was too lazy to write them down. Oh well. I like how since i'm so bored at work my brain makes up for it by entertaining me at night. Oh and I started watching Durara! It's really confusing me but i get why you guys like it, they are so funny!
Ok so at work today two arabs came to fix the מזגן and i prayed to Hashem they wouldn't stab us, luckily they didn't, instead they were cracking jokes and they seemed to enjoy themselves. So my office is like three floors up and the guy climbed out of the window and sat on the מזגן thing outside while doing something to it and the secretary freaked out and she couldn't watch just in case he fell to his death. He made jokes about jumping and that she should just come to see how it isn't scary. Then he asked for coffee and she told him he wouldn't get any till he was back inside and he joked that he wanted to drink coffee outside on the side of the building sitting on the outside of the window. Then my boss gave them a bunch of candy i didn't even know we had and they showed us pictures of their kids and it was nice. Then someone knocked on the door and the secretary freaked out that it was them and they came back to kill us. Since i'm typing this they obviously didn't come to kill us though. The office smells like grilled cheese and i really want a grilled cheese sandwich now...
