Can you believe it? It’s been fourteen months since this blog was created, and needless to say, it’s been quite an exciting ride. It all began with this post, as He (who recently “came out of the closet” himself) and I jumped into the Israeli blogosphere, hoping to take the world by storm (I’m still waiting for that one). Sometimes witty, sometimes thoughtful, sometimes provocative, and usually pretty enjoyable. I say usually, as because with any ongoing, long-term project, there are bound to be bumps and bruises along the way. I’ll even let you all in on a little secret. At one point, quite early on, I almost quit, so affected was I by some behind-the-scenes (and some not so behind-the-scenes) action around these parts. Fortunately for me, I chose to continue writing, despite the nagging fear that something would trigger a repeat of the events, that I would once again feel threatened for expressing my opinions. So far, it hasn’t happened, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I’m always looking over my virtual shoulder (and it makes me crazy that I feel this way, but what can I say – once burned, twice shy, right?).

In any event, now that He has sadly bid us farewell (the gang over here at Something Something will miss you terribly, mwah mwah), there may be some changes around here, as I make this place truly all mine, a place where we can all continue to share ideas and opinions, and a place where I can take credit for my writing. To that end, I have decided to forgo my anonymity, at least partially. After all, who in the world will take me seriously if I continue to use my adopted, anonymous moniker of She? Not to say, of course, that they will take me seriously then, either. I’m just trying to improve my chances.

So, without further adieu, ahem, ahem, from here on out, please feel free to call me Liza. Note that that’s Liza with a “z” not Lisa with an “s”, cuz Lisa with an “s” goes “ssss” not “zzzz”. “Lie” instead of “Lee”, “z” instead of “s”, simple as can be, see Liza!
