Singing Spice girls is straight if other straight guys are singing with you

I guess I never finished my stories about the rest of thursday night. Here goes!

We got back to our camp site, which looked like it was hoppin in the 70's but had gone through a bunch of wars and bad weather. So, there were bottles everywhere, and even some extra pairs of dirty socks from the 80's! I brought some socks that I had bought at target, so I didn't take any new ones. We wanted to buy drinks from the bar near the beach, which seemed ok from afar, but upon closer review turned out to be a makeshift dog shelter, with Labs and retrievers sleeping all over the floor. We rang the bell for the guy who worked there, before noticing that he was next to the bar doing lines of coke. I now understand why he overcharged us for beer-- he needed coke money. Respectable.

After we set up tents and relaxed on the beach in the sunset, we built a fire and started the festivities. Ollie cooked hamburgers, which tasted so much better just because he had put his virgingirl20 effort into it (see below for the explanation). Adir came up with his guitar, so obviously we jammed out to some sweet beats: the typical save tonight, michelle branch, backstreet boys tracks-- ya know, real camp songs. People kept saying "omg jared, you have a good voice." They must have been really drunk, as I have listened to recordings of my own voice and I'm sure that I don't have a good voice. but it was a good confidence boost nonetheless.

I woke up in the morning and found out that the following things had happened: We had a dance party until around 4 in the morning, I had deep talks on the beach with Adir and Chelsea, and I ended up in a tent alone with 2 hotties. It was so good that I had no recollection of it. Hmmm. But I do remember when a moth fell in Faith's drink. What a waste, moths just have no manners nowadays.

I was made fun of in the morning for having sung "Wannabe" by spice girls, "Blue" by Eiffel 65, and "Get down" by b4-4 at the top of my lungs. And yet, looking at pictures, it seems everyone knew the words and thought it was cool. So, it was cool AND straight.

The ride back to Jerusalem was fun, and it was soooo Israel. Halfway through the arab territories we were forced to pull over for about 10 minutes-- a herd of goats needed to cross the roads. Dem A-rabs need to build some pedestrian walks for their goats or something, a bridge maybe. I just dont have time for this shit.


Shabbat dinner at Adir/Matan's was amazing as always. It's never a bad thing when there are 20 people over, and a guy girl ratio of about 7 to 13. Thats 6 extra girls for our viewing pleasure! Do you think it made us more manly?

Heck no. Actually, we ended up singing Disney songs on the porch, all of which were sung beautifully by DanDan and harmonized by Adir, who may be the only straight disney song harmonizer in the country. Half asleep, he would wake up to put a new tone to "can you feel the love tonight?" I was impressed.

The night was an obvious success when some of our friends went to sleep with girls, and DanDan and I watched mature porn. It was gross. Israelis watch some weird shit. I would've been fine with an episode of Boy Meets World.


All is good here in herz right now. I'll be in Italy this weekend if anyone wants to come, or is already there.
