hagar_972's birthday party was great, there was a barbecue, there was a sea, there were lots of friends and it was late at night.
Not much can go wrong in situations like that.
There was a hell of a lot of catching up to do, since I hadn't seen most of them people in almost nine months.
There were Asaf, Sofi, morin, tamara_russo, Adi, Roi, schniff and fenchurch42 were lovely as usual, May and I talked for a really long time and it would seem that we decided to traverse the British Isles together!
It's still in the theory only, but I'm going to call Mummy's travel agent tomorrow and see if there's anyway of getting stuff done.
Despite the fact that I got the job at the DVD-club and may have an offer elsewhere... I mean fuck it, this is the time I should be living the moment - I have the money to travel and a job I can always find after the Holidays... but how many times will I be able to spend time with a person I like traveling England, Scotland and Ireland?

So, tomorrow I have to get to Bituach Leumi, to cash in my Miluim check, talk to the travel agent and spend much time with Jade and the Babies since they're going back to the Uncle Sam's tomorrow evening.

I don't know when I'll see Jade, Shvo or Libby again but it will probably be a very long time.
Since I left (early July) and when they came to here (just two weeks ago) not a very long time passed and Libby remembered me, it was uncanny how much she remembered me, but then again it had only been six weeks and I was a major person in her life for the majority of her life and now she'll forget me... gonna have to Skype it.

Edit: nurint was at the party!!! Let it be known throughout the land, nurint is a very good friend and WAS at the beach party!!!
And there was no skinny dipping.

Miaw.. Well, with the speed kids catch all comp+cellphones+all other tech stuff these days, she'll learn how to use it by herself in no time.. :o)

Ohh, I so wish your travel agent will find some amazing deal.. This trip could be so fuckin' brilliant!

Should I be offended you didn't list me being in the party? (no, it's okay, I'll just sit in the dark and wait for you to remember I exist while you run off to skinny-dip with your friends :P)

Happy?

Well, you didn't have to make such a big fuss over it, it was just little all me after all... ;P. Yes, I'm happy. Thanks :)

I envy you for being able to even consider putting off school, college, et al to go visit the British Isles.

Welcome to the fascinating life of Israeli young adults. It's common practice for just-out-of-the-army people to spend a year or two working and then traveling, and sometimes repeating this cycle, before moving on to proper adult life.
Most people seem to need time for themselves, after service - both for gaining perspective, and sometimes to get relative rest. Not everyone can financially afford to - some solve this by working more, and some just can't. Other take the Big Trip somehow during their undergrad studies or, at the latest, between undergrad and whatever next.

Again, this common sociological phenomenon developed from Israel being a stressful place, is more common among those who served than those who didn't - and basically reflecs the order of priorities of a whole generation.

(I'm not an example. I was a Uni student before I was even drafted, and at 22 i'm beginning my grad studies.)
