| So, I want to warn you all that this is going to be a long one. And I'll sound weird. And I'll bitch about stuff. Still want to read it? Great. Here we go. First of all, a little what-did-I-do-this-weekend kind of entry. In short, it was an enjoyable weekend. A friend of Chad's, Chris, threw a party at his place. I met new people, I got to see some friends I was missing, and all of that. Duas pessoas enganadas.The highlight of my night, though, was when I got $40 dollars from these two guys whom made the mistake of betting that I couldn't solve a Rubik's Cube. The first dumb kid, let's call them as such, told me I couldn't solve it in less than four minutes: I did it in two and a half, approximately. The other, said I wouldn't be able to solve it if he messed it up. Little did he know that once you learn it how to solve it, it doesn't matter how you mess it up, it's always the same. And here I am now, 40 bucks richer. Is it a good thing to fit in skinny jeans?Before heading up to the party on Friday, I went over to Chad's to drop my car off at his house. I finally met his mom, after 10 months dating, on and off. Mmm, let's pretend I haven't mentioned this little unpleasant detail. First of all, she's gorgeous. If I reach her age half as beautiful as she is, I'll be happy. Secondly, she's really nice. Although I love meeting my friend's moms, I admit I was kind of nervous when I parked my car in front of their house; good thing I felt comfortable around her. I also met their dog, Maddie, and despite of cleaning her privates on the carpet in front of the guests, she's a cutie, haha. She told Chad a little later that she didn't like me because I can fit my ass in those skinny jeans I was wearing. I took that as a compliment. ;) And I was barely alive.
Once again, the Red Bull and the noisy drunk people kept me awake. By the time Chad and I were back to his house, some time around 2pm, I was barely alive. All I wanted to do was sleep. I managed to take a quick nap while the boy was working on his RC car (for the record, that thing burned in flames an hour later). The drive back home was terrible and awfully loud, since I had to put the radio volume all the way up in order not to fall asleep and wake up in heaven. What I did Saturday night? I had the best date of my life with my pillow. It was sublime. I'm not made of sugar, but I like my hair dry.Thalissa and I went to John Mayer's concert on Sunday. Oh, John Mayer. What a voice... what a body... what a man... uh? Back to the entry? K. So, we bought tickets for the lawn section, and at first it was great: not too far from the stage, a big ass screen right in front of us, sitting on beach chairs on the grass... but suddenly... KABRUM! (or whatever a thunder would sound like) God decided it would be the bestest time to look at humanity and cry all over the planet. And I guess he was really upset because it rained like hell. We borrowed an umbrella from this guy next to us, which protected our heads, but not our asses. Good enough, though. The concert itself was marvelous. He played all the songs I like, sitting on the lawn made me happy for not being in the middle of all the pushing, and even the rain was good to keep the mosquitoes away. To be continued... | |

| Too many shadows in my room
Too many hours in this midnight
Too many corners in my mind
So much to do to set my heart right
Oh it's taking so long, I could be wrong, I could be ready
Oh but if I take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am in repair, I am in repair
Stood on the corner for a while
To wait for the wind to blow down on me
Hoping it takes with it my old ways
And brings some brand new luck upon me
Oh it's taking so long, I could be wrong, I could be ready
Oh but if I take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am in repair, I am in repair
And now I'm walking in the park
All of the birds, they dance below me
Maybe when things turn green again
It will be good to say you know me
Oh it's taking so long, I could be wrong, I could be ready
Oh but if I take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
Oh I'm never really ready, yeah, oh, I'm never really ready
I'm in repair, I'm not together, but I'm getting there
I'm in repair, I'm not together, but I'm getting there
I'm in repair, I'm not together, but I'm getting there
I'm in repair, I'm not together, but I'm getting there
I'll see him playing live, and I'll be right back ;) | |

| You have good days and bad days in capoeira but since Peninha’s been here, every single day has been incredible, and I’ve just been waiting for the let-down. ( Right on time. ) Oh, well, oh, well. It was fun while it lasted. Really, really fun. - Mood:drained

So... RICKMAN BRSorry about the poor layout,I just don't have skills to make things nicer. Join if you want! | |

| Speaking of being irrationally very angry at Roberto…
I knew it was too good to be true: a roda and barbeque with some of my favorite new friends on the day before I leave. There was talk of doing something like that sometime this summer before Peninha leaves, but I was the one who inspired them to get on it and make it this weekend so that I could go too. I changed my plans to make it work, but it worked. Perfectly.
And then Roberto moved it to Sunday.
Jerk.
Whateverrrr I don’t need them, next week at this time I’ll be having a roda with my new Croatian capoeirista friends in some plaza in Zagreb.
So, just one class left. Wednesday was so perfect, I almost don’t want to go back today in case it turns out to be disappointing.
On the bright side, I made over three hundred dollars yesterday (in about 12 hours), my class is over, and I am going to Europe for six weeks in two days.
Ha, I am a spoiled brat. I had been looking forward to July 10th since I agreed to teach this summer, and here I am wishing I could stay a little longer. I love traveling and living abroad, but every time I leave I can see why normal people don't.
I can see it happening already. I need to get out of DC asap after graduation before it sucks me in. Eventually, I, too, want roots and a place to call home. Desperately. But not here, not now, not yet. - Location:don't remind me

| ( More capoeira ramblings. )I love that I’m getting things. Nothing comes naturally to me about this sport except loving it, but I am making progress. I did an okay handstand for the first (and second and third) time yesterday and would have kept practicing but I was kicking Samia’s wall while she was trying to sleep. Today after the second class about six of us hung around and practiced hard stuff until we started getting it. Peninha coached Laura and I through queda de rins, which I now feel like I at least have enough of a base to keep practicing from. I finally got the getting into a bridge starting from being on your hands and feet – and did that about twenty times until my wrists had had enough – though I still have to figure out how to get out of it again. That will come too, I guess. Capoeira isn’t going anywhere. Too bad certain people are. Last class Friday night and open roda/barbeque in Rock River Park on Saturday... There is no way I’m going to New York just yet. ( Oh, and pictures. )*edit* Okay, so I looked at the photo page again, and apparently I hadn’t scrolled down. I have to say #47 (scroll to the right) is in the running for most dramatic... Peninha + grass skirt + machetes = ...? | |

| Last night I was talking with my friend about our favorite Tv shows,and then the only thing we agreed was that "Os Normais" was one of the best brazilian tv shows ever (for still loses to Tv Pirata,they were genius!).And from suddenly came to me my favorite scene from the show,when vani and Ruy are taking care of Vani's Godson,they boy was really bored and crying and she insisted that if she danced to him the boy will cheer up.
Tehn she starts to sing and dance,followed by Ruy that tried to help her.Got love Luiz Fernando Guimarães and Fernanda Torres. I want the show back!

| 1) This email, from my friend's student who I have been tutoring daily for the past week. She was REALLY struggling (is 38 years old and has never studied another language in her life), and has gotten in the 40s on each of the first three exams, but needs to pass the class to graduate.
Hola Megan,
Gracisa! I feel really good about the exam today, Me seinto muy bien! This is the first time I felt like I understood the exam. For the first time I really think I'm going to past this class thanks to you. I will surly want to work with you for the second half after we take a short summer break if you are up to continuing to work with me.
2) Eleven hours from now, I won't have to stand in front of a class again until September! - Mood:excited

| Besides the Croatian capoeiristas who offered to pick me up from the train station and let me stay with one of them in Zagreb, now Nedžad is offering me a place to stay in Budapest, and to drive me to Belgrade. What is this?? Next week is shaping up nicely, though I still have very few plans for the following one. And this current one? Don’t get me started. So much to do. So much I have to do and don’t have time for, and so much I will make time for. I’m so ready to go already but so not ready to leave yet. ( The ability to bilocate would be really appreciated right now. )Gen: Don’t change your plans for us. You’re going to Europe; we’re just having a barbeque. Yeah, but... (Ha, and do you like how I just wrote forever about a ten minute conversation with Peninha and am only mentioning in passing my second date with Guy today? I’m hopeless. My feelings towards Guy remain completely neutral. I don’t know whether it’s a matter of being picky or a self-defense mechanism. I think the latter. I mean, it’s not like I’m waiting for a Peninha to come along – as I said, I didn’t even know they existed. But I wonder if I’ll always only allow myself to have strong feelings for a guy after I’m fairly confident he would never like me back... because that could be a something of a problem.) Guy said he couldn’t take seriously anything described as a cross between martial arts and break dancing, so I’m looking up videos to send him to disabuse him of his ignorance. Capoeira evangelist, indeed. I was supposed to work on my incomplete today (and yesterday, and all summer, and all last semester) but somehow practicing bananeiros and papagaios and pontes was more of a priority and finally doing my first real handstand seemed like more of an accomplishment. Man, I could tell you stories about handstands... - Mood:confused
