Protective Edge Observations...

Little fun facts/ observations/ lifestyle changes/ etc going on in my little neck of the woods as rockets casually fall and fly over me. Because you know that's totally normal.

- Little Miss "Cursing is So Unnecessary & Distasteful" (me during non rocket times) goes away to Snob Land when the siren goes off. Time for the potty mouth


- I also learned I may need to work on my religiosity. I long for the day when I scream "hashem yishmor" when a siren goes off (like a holy friend of mine did) as opposed to "SHHHHHHHH******T" like this BA chick did. (refer above if you are pondering how such an un-Lottie word comes out of Lottie's mouth) 

- I am surprisingly really not adopted. Shocker right? I know this because I'm neurotic when it comes to rockets casually flying over me. Mapping out the safest place to go, leave shoes by the door, take 5 second showers etc. And I 100% got it from my mama.  Thanks mother dearest. 

- Deciding with your roommates to finish up all the drinks in your fridge is just a really bad idea. We'll leave it at that. Basically anything that ends with "omg guys it will be soooo funny" just isn't going to be funny. 


- Going to sleep with the possibility of seeing the neighbors at 2am creates major havoc in PJ-Land. Last night I went to sleep in my Sunday best. Tonight, screw it. If the worst thing that happens to my neighbors is they see my infamous "How to Marry Prince Harry" PJ shirt then so be it. And yes, I will marry Prince Harry. Just give me a few more months. 


UPDATE: 8am on Thursday morning the neighbors saw the "Marry Harry" shirt along with Soffes... Throwback Thursday to those pre sem Soffe days... sigh. And calm down tznius police, I'll sleep wearing a burka tonight. 


- I no longer crave sushi 24/7. Rather I crave peace. You like that eh? (and if you're quoting me, since obvs this has the potential to go majorly viral, please add my name. Thanks)

- Benji Lovitt is hilarious. If you are not following him on FB your Protective Edge experience probably sucks. If you are following him, well your Protective Edge experience probably still sucks. But not as bad.

- I guess it's about time I learned the map of Israel. I honestly always thought Rechovot was north of Tel Aviv and was legitamatly confused why they were getting more sirens than us. Initially I thought it was because of Tel Aviv Power (woot woot), then I looked at a map.

  Whoops

- Only Shlomo Katz & Shwekey these past few days. Non stop. 

- Pretty cute how Hamas takes KY15 (my apt building) into account when planning their attacks. It's like they knew we were in desperate need of a staircase reunion. After all November 2012 was our last one... I wonder why that happened... 

- And lastly, on a serious note- why can't Hamas go bully a country that doesn't have G-d on their side?! It would def boost their deflating ego.
 I think it's pretty obvious who has the upper hand here. Of course the IDF, iron dome and incredible unity of Am Yisrael play a massive role, but most of all we have the Man Upstairs and ain't nobody messing with Him and His people.
