IN MY LIFE, WHY DO I GIVE VALUABLE TIME TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T CARE IF I LIVE OR DIE?

Whenever I mention to people that I'm already on vacations, their reactions are usually something like 'Wow, you're so lucky!' or 'I'm so jealous!' and I just don't have the heart to tell them that it's actually not that great.

Happy birthday, Kurt Vonnegut!

“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies - God damn it, you've got to be kind.”

..I baked a cake today (although it kind of looks like pudding in this picture.)

Zebra Question

I asked the zebra,
Are you black with white stripes?
Or white with black stripes?
And the zebra asked me,
Are you good with bad habits?
Or are you bad with good habits?
Are you noisy with quiet times?
Or quite with noisy times?
Are you happy with some sad days?
Or are you sad with some happy days?
Are you neat with some sloppy ways?
Or are you sloppy with some neat ways?
And on and on and on and on
And on and on he went.
I'll never ask a zebra
About stripes
Again.

"I put my hand on him. Touching him was always so important to me. It was something I lived for. I never could explain why. Little, nothing touches. My fingers against his shoulder. The outsides of our thighs touching as we squeezed together on the bus. I couldn't explain it, but I needed it. Sometimes I imagined stitching all of our little touches together. How many hundreds of thousands of fingers brushing against each other does it take to make love? Why does anyone ever make love? "

On graduating and such

For majority of my life, I have gone to schools where the seniors would get a page in the yearbook but that doesn't really happen with the current school I go (because nobody cares about what you think or who you are, as long as you pass the vestibular.) So, since I won't have a graduation ceremony of any kind, I decided I might as well write here what I would write if I had a senior page. Okay.

Mãe e Pai: Vocês são minha maior inspiração e fonte de apoio. Devo tudo que tenho à vocês dois e palavras não conseguem descrever a quantidade de amor que sinto por vocês. Obrigada por tudo, de verdade.

Mari: Minha melhor amiga há 17 anos, ainda bem que vamos voltar a estudar na mesma escola de novo e poder voltar pra casa ridiculamente cedo e assistir America's Next Top Model. Eu te amo mais que tudo and that goes without saying. "With the body of a ........porcupine."

Gian: Baby baby, you're the light of my life. It makes me happy to know that we'll still have many afternoons of taking naps, watching TV and baking cookies. You're smelly and silly, but I like you, nonetheless. You're the best I've ever had.

Vicky: "WHERE YOU GOING?" "I'M LEAVING YOU!" "NO, YOU AIN'T." Babesies, you're one of the best things to have happened to me and I can' get over how lucky I am to have met you. You're a constant in my life and the best friend I've ever had. Te amo, ponjiquejoo.

Cami, Lisa and Alan: You three have been there for me more times than you're probably aware of and you're partly the reason I love São Paulo so much. I'm sure you're all going to do amazing things with your lives and I hope you have all the happiness you guys deserve.

Veva: Tenho tanta sorte de ter uma amiga tão parceira quanto você! Você é minha pessoa favorita dessa cidade e prometo que ano que vem, continuarei dividindo sobremesas com você e discutindo teorias sobre a humanidade. Te amo tanto e saiba que estarei aqui pra tudo!

FAMBLE: Thank you for having been there for me, even when you weren't really. The five of you have played an important part in the person I am today and I wish you all the best in the world, wherever you guys may be. Como diria Fernando Pessoa"O valor das coisas não está no tempo em que elas duram, mas na intensidade com que acontecem." I love you all.

Bruna, Dani, Marina e Rafa: Não sei se eu teria conseguido aguentar a loucura do terceirão sem vocês. Espero que vocês tenham muito sucesso em qualquer faculdade que forem fazer e estou aqui sempre, amo vocês!

I'm sorry if I forgot to write about anybody here. Thank you to everyone who had impacted me and/or inspired me in some way.
