shine on you crazy diamond...

okay, so now that i am in turkey with relatively nothing to do (and at this moment nothing to eat...) i am going to blog as if i really meant to keep this thing up. i wonder who i am actually blogging for. my mom, mom's friends, grandpa, my friends, myself...i guess i just don't know.
well i left ein gev on thursday which was a little sad. i really love it there. my roommate kindly hitchhiked with me to the bus station and from there i somehow got to my aunt's house near tel aviv in ramat hasharon. saying goodbye to mario sucked. i really miss him now.
oh ya, and i guess i should mention that i have a boyfriend, who is amazing. mario from guatemala. 25. ha i can never get over the fact that his name is mario. i asked him if he had a friend names luigi. he almost killed me.
anyway...
now that i am with my family i begin to remember why i took this gap year in the first place. i mean yes, i love them all very very much. but damnit sometimes they drive me a little crazy. i have gotten far too used to being on my own to spend such condensed periods of time with them so abrutly. i get to see aaron on tuesday though which is awesome. i haven't seen in almost 2 years...
my family in turkey is the same. my grandparents are beginning to get really old. i guess everytime i see them they look really old. but my grandmother barely stays awake for longer than a couple hours at a time, and can't move around without the help of somebody. they have a really sweet maid that takes good care of her, and talks to me in turkish as if i can understand. i laugh uncomfortably and smile, thats all i got. my grandfather is slowing down a bit, but his mind remains sharp. he is still witty and quick, and he manages on his own quite well. he really amazes me.
my uncle and aunt are still the fighting couple living a life of luxury that is questionably affordable to them. my aunt doesn't yell at my uncle so much anymore, but you can still hear her screams once in a while.
oh turkey.
we are leaving for bodrum tonight, thank god. in istanbul we get a little stuck in a static, but in bodrum its sheer beauty and relaxation + good food/wine for a week straight.

somehow i still miss israel.

my life got really uninteresting.
