| It's Apple Cinnamon Cupcake time! |

Today was a nice day, although I barely left my apartment. I woke up around noon, had lunch, and did nothing until 5~6pm, when pedro came. We watched "2 Days in Paris". I absolutely LOVE Julie Delpy, and the movie is fantastic. After he left I started my cupcake bake. They're still in the oven. I'm making Apple Cinnamon, and I also put raisins on a few of them. I never baked cupcakes before. In fact, I'm not that good a baker. I always end up forgetting things in the oven, overcooking or burning them. It's mostly my ADD saying I cannot ever be a pastry chef. Well, anyway, after the Banana Butterscotch Pudding I made yesterday, I feel confident in my oven skills.
UPDATE:
The cupcakes turned out okay. They taste good, but I think it still needs a little sugar. I'll try and compensate on the frosting. The ones with the raisings turned out better. They don't look too good because I baked them in those little paper thingies, but I think I'm buying a pan tomorrow.
And I hate how crappy I feel this late at night. Gonna take an allergy pill and go to sleep. G'nite. |

I hate the fact that I don't have anything to wear in a mild weather. It's always really hot here, so I don't have any light jackets or anything. I only have heavier coats that I use when I travel. Today the temperature is around 70, but the wind makes it feel lower, specially with the rain coming down like it's the end of the world.
I also really needed to get out. I'd been inside for 4 days... because pedro spent the weekend here and because my kitty had surgery (she was castrated, no bid deal, she's doing great) and i had to take care of her. Anyway, yesterday, around midnight, I was playing Zelda on my Wii with Pedro, when a friend of ours called and invited us over. We got there and there was a small party, and everyone was already drunk and huggy. After everyone almost suffocated me with drunken love, we started dancing and singing old songs from a CD we found that had been burned 12 years ago. It was fun. Then we had to go outside because the neighbours were complaining... it was raining really hard, and we were all wet and cold, but we still had a lot of fun. Then, everyone went to sleep and Pedro and I came home. While we waited for the rain to stop we almost fell asleep in the car.
And my friends came over in the afternoon. We decided to make toys. You know, toy art. But we're all newbies to the art of sewing, and we didn't do thaaat well. Pedro made a doll that I like to call Mr. Hung.
Hum, anyway, that's it. Tomorrow I'm watching Dark Night, and I am SOO EXCITED. I think it's gonna be awesome, I love Batman.
And on saturday I might be taking a trip to the beach. It will be good for me to get some sun. They say that exposure to sunlight helps produce endorphines... and I'm running low on those. PMS sucks.
I don't usually post like that, with details of my day, I actually thing it's quite boring. But I'm trying to get back to the habit of writing, so... yeah. That's it. Love to all. o/

I leave you here with a picture of me and Pedro, my boyfriend, on our last trip. We went to São Paulo a couple of weeks ago. It was amazing, I love that city and I love this boy. :)
You may notice I've grown my hair. I love it like that. :D |

Hello everyone. Look who's back!
I missed LJ so much, specially the people I got to talk to here. So I decided to come back. And it's good for me to do some writing, you know. Even if it's in english.
Well, anyway, here's an update of my life:
- I've been in a relationship for the last 10 months (which started almost exactly when I wrote here for the last time). We are doing great, I love him with all my heart and he is sweet, understanding, and most of all, he loves me and he's very supportive.
- I did get that new camera, and I have some photos up on my flickr page. Feel free to add me if you have an account, and also to comment on the photos, I could use some critique.
- My friend who went away came back a couple of weeks ago and took me by surprise, that bastard. I missed him so much.
Well, that's all I can think of right now. I'll post again soon. Just wanted to tell everyone I'm alive, I'm happy, and I'm back!
See y'all! o/ |

| |  nostalgic | ] |
The milk truck hauls the sun up
The paper hits the door
The subway shakes my floor
And I think about you.
(It's so hard living without you, says Harry Nilsson).
(And I agree).
~~~~~~~~~~~
Now to the concrete post:
I have been feeling so nostalgic as of late. I have been missing people I never thought I would miss again... and it's so strong, this feeling. Plus I miss like hell some friends I have that have been living in other cities/countries, or even those that have always lived far away and I was never used to seeing them on a regular basis. I just need hugs from each one of those few special people, I need to sit down with each of them and have a conversation about something really stupid and laugh until I can't.
I need to have ice cream and watch bad movies with them.
I need to drink wine or champagne and celebrate having such good friends.
I need them close. =/
And there's that case where someone is not physically far, but, well... you get the point. The "nostalgia" (for lack of a better word) is almost equal to those who are oceans apart from me.
This is me being emo, lol. I'm okay, really. Just been a little sensitive about this, but it's not like I'm depressed or anything. I'm still feeling good most of the time. =)
BY THE WAY. In portuguese we have a word to describe this beautiful feeling that crushes our chest when we miss someone. That keeps us hoping and daydreaming about the future and or crying for the absence of a loved one. This word is SAUDADES. Look it up. It's the most beautiful feeling, I'm surprised no other language has a word for it. |

- I have a brand new tattoo, just had it made today. I'm in love with it, check it out: http://www.flickr.com/photos/faufis/532676930/
It's my third one. =)
- These days have been complicated. I told someone a secret I had been keeping for a while now, and that, of course, had huge influence on this person's life. I care about him and I feel bad knowing he's feeling bad. Even though i told him for his own good, and I think even he knows that. Maybe he'll learn something from this. Maybe not, but I really hope he does.
- My camera is broken. I've had it for 4 months, and it's broken. It's a Sony Cybershot T-10, and the LCD Backlight won't work. The worst part is, since I bought it abroad, it doesn't have worldwide warranty, so I'll have to pay to get it fixed. And fixed meand that they'll have to open it up and maybe break something else in the process. That annoys me. I hate sony's technical support.
- Right now I'm sick, I have a fever, and my body hurts like it's NEVER hurt before. Today I was at the mall, a few hours after getting my tattoo, and my legs started to hurt so much I couldn't make it from the entrance to the food court (it's a big mall, though). I sat in a bench and called my friend. After I took some painkillers I got better, but when I got home the fever and the nausea kicked in. =/
- My iPod now lives in a very pretty and pink alice in wonderland case. I got it from my friend Renata, who bought it at disney but only had the chance to give it to me today. I really loved it. <3 <3
That's all, folks. |

So, I took another driving test, and this time I passed. Yay! My license will be ready on thursday. ^^
Will anyone PLEASE forbid me from seeing "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition"? I cried so hard in the episode I saw right now. I cried until I was out of breat. Then I catched my breath and cried some more.
If you can, try to find information about a little girl named Kassandra, that created something called "Love Comes First". If there are such things as angels, this is definetely one of them, and it's not hiding that well. She moved me more than I can express in words. |

"No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again" |

5AM. Thursday morning. I've just deleted 5GB of music from my iPod. My shelf earlier collapsed on top of my books and DVDs. My room is turned upside down. There are CDs and DVDs out of their cases all over the place. I stepped on a piece of a CD case and bled my way into the kitchen without noticing. I feel like just exploding my room and building a new one.
I just did not need this right now. |

This has nothing to do with anything about me right now, but I just think this are one of the most beautiful song lyrics ever written, specially the part in bold which is just too amazing. I wish I had that talent to put such things into words so perfectly.
Joni Mitchell - A Case of You
just before our love got lost you said,
"i am as constant as the northern star."
and i said, "constantly in the darkness
where's that at?
if you want me i'll be in the bar."
on the back of a cotton coaster
in the blue t.v. screen light
i drew a map of canada
oh canada
with your face sketched on it twice.
in my blood like holy wine
you taste so bitter and so sweet
well, i could drink a case of you, darling
and i would still be on my feet
i would still be on my feet.
oh i am a lonely painter
i live in a box of paints
i'm frightened by the devil
and i'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid.
i remember that time you told me
"love is touching souls"
surely you touched mine
'cause part of you pours out of me
in these lines from time to time.
my blood
my holy wine
tastes so bitter and so sweet
well i could drink a case of you, darling
and i would still be on my feet
i would still be on my feet
i met a woman
she had a mouth like yours
she knew your devils and your deeds
and she said, "go to him, stay with him
but be prepared to bleed"
my blood
my holy wine
tastes so bitter and so sweet
well i could drink a case of you, darling
and i would still be on my feet
i would still be on my feet |

I've been having these dreams where I'm somewhere that is only accessible by ROLLER COASTER. Not by car, foor, boat, plane or anything. The only way is to take the roller coaster. First it was the hotel where DEMI MOORE was trying to kill me. Then, my own home. And yesterday it was someone's wedding and then New York City. What does that mean?
I think it'd be cool to install a roller coaster route to new york city. who's with me on this?? |

This is the moment that you know
That you told her that you loved her but you don't.
You touch her skin and then you think
That she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me.
Yeah, she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me.
I spent two weeks in Silverlake
The California sun cascading down my face
There was a girl with light brown streaks
And she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me.
Yeah she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me.
Wanted to believe in all the words that i was speaking
As we moved together in the dark
And all the friends that i was telling
And all the playful misspellings
And every bite i gave you left a mark
Tiny vessels oozed into your neck
And formed the bruises
That you said you didn't want to fade
But they did and so did i that day
All i see are dark grey clouds
In the distance moving closer with every hour
So when you ask "was something wrong?"
That i think "you're damn right there is but we can't talk about it now.
No, we can't talk about it now."
So one last touch and then you'll go
And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more
But it was vile, and it was cheap
And you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
Yeah you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me |

I am someone who enjoys those simple little things in life.
I don't need much to be happy, really. I can have fun in almost any situation.
I complain a lot here, but I'm not usually like that. I do it here so that people don't have to listen to me, and just to get it off my chest. I normally accept what I get and make the most out of the situation.
I am always smiling and in a good mood. I will treat you well even if you treat me mean, and that is so fucking hard for me.
My intention is to make everyone happy, because that makes me happy.
But there's one thing that drives me crazy: Spoiled people that complain about EVERY LITTLE THING. Can't they see how happier they'd be if they just tried to make the most out of something instead of refusing to have fun? And the worst thing is that these kind of people usually take me down with them. They get on my nerves and can actually take away my fun.
And when I get that bad mood... you'll want to stay away from me. I can assure you I am not a nice person at times like these.
People, listen to your grandparents. Enjoy the moment. You're not going to die if you have to sit on the floor, or if it's a little hot where you're standing, if the movie's bad, or if the waiter forgot to take the onions off your sandwich. It's no reason to give up on all the other good things about the moment. Listen to this before you get old and learn it for yourself, it might be too late.
PLEASE. For your sake and mine.
I want a world where people have more fun. |
