Roman was never a friend of mine.

He was just a quiet boy, a little younger than me.
He was the son the our family friends. They migrated from Russia to Israel when roman was just a young child.

I don't think that I even exchanged 2 words with him in my whole life. He was just there. A round faces with with big teeth. Kinda cute, but very very shy.
Roman was 19 when he was earning his money as a kitchen worker at a local wedding hall. He was about to be drafted to the Israeli army.

I don’t know how many full moons i've seen since that awful day.

I came back from work. A few minutes after - his stepfather was banging on our door hysterically. I opened the door with a smile on my face as usual. He came in, very confused and saw may mother, a dear friend of his. He couldn't speak. He just sat on the sofa and said to her with a broken voice - "something bad happened to Roman". I can't remember much after that. I just went outside to the garden and looked at the sky with tears in my eyes. The full moon was looking at me And I cried.

While at work, lifting a heavy rice sack and carrying it to the elevator - Roman fell down to the elevator shaft and broke his neck and died.
19 years old, his mother's only child.

Almost four years had passed, and still - a full moon has only one meaning to me. Nothing to do with romance, but everything to do with Roman.

I remember you.

It's amazing that nowdays you can see the world without getting up from your comfy chair. I've seen Rome and Paris and the Chinese wall... I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run, I've been to paradise, but I ever been to me (OK...kidding!)

So I thought I should show some places on earth where important people live.

This is Ashdod:

This is Raleigh:

And this is the distance between them :-(

It's so hard to live in a non-clayish environment.

No clay fans here. No clay Cd's here. Nothing.

I thank god for this website and you guys

for allowing me the experience of being a part

of a bigger family than I could ever imagine.

Every time i think that i know what there is to know

about being a fan - i discover more stuff that I wasn't aware of.

first there was the cellcert. Even after I heard this word I just

couldn't put two and two together. It took me a while to figure out

that it is a concert-by-cellphone.

yesterday I heard about clayvirsity.

Still don't get that one.

but this sweet, comferting face always makes me feel better
