stiff [upper lip/legs]

egg reminded me that as part of the dating thing i'm supposed to be an asshole, which certainly makes things easier. it might be a case of too little too late, but it's a learning process :P

the ceremony was good, although after a long day my legs were severely strained by standing for an hour and a half. what's great is that israelis are slowly regaining the pride that's been dwindling over the last few years, and although it's a bit late it's most certainly a good start.

i just had a long, overdue chat with my mum, and most of it was regarding the apartment hunting. i've had the wrong attitude the whole time - my mother agrees with bt's observation that it's not something to get too serious about. it's okay to make a mistake, and so this week will see me making an attempt at one of the first ones i saw.

in the meanwhile: time for bed.
