trivela!

alright, yesterday was one of the biggest concerts in the northeast region, and this little mama right here got to go! so here is just a little taste of what a brazilian concert is like both for small people, blonde, blue eyed people and foreign people. and trust me everyone knows your foreign, how you wonder? i have no clue? maybe because they take a huge waft of you when you walk by.
anywho onward! so concerts here are kind of a giant opportunity for everyone to get some lip action, with whoever, whereever and at anytime. Just walking around, everywhere you look there is some people making out. and you have to wonder if they have ever met, the likely hood of that is pretty slim. so doubt it. All you have to do is make eye contact and they come over and start workin the magic. As soon as i got in the concert i was informed that people will grab and my hair because i was blonde and blue-eyed. they did. everywhere i went the dudes were brushin my hair with their fingers and grabbing at me to kiss. its a brazilian thing i think. oh thats another thing, if they want to kiss they grab at you, they pull your arms back, grab at your clothes and try to hold your hand and some are pretty dang persistant i had to fling whip my arm out of this one guys kungfu grip. But there was this one 40 year old man who was like five two, who pointed at me from a far and started dancing toward me, so alyssa grabbed me and we started to waltz really fast to fend him off. it didnt work, he wasnt having it, so we started to run, through the crowd, as we look back, there he is trottin behind us with his little martini, we stopped because we thought we lost him. we didnt i looked behind me and his head pops up and hes like "you are zee one i vant". so we kept running. after a wild goose chase we finally lost him fewf! as a whole the night was pretty dang interesting. so as a warning, if you ever want to go to a show in brazil, brace yourself. these people have no problem gettin up close and personal. its classic.

darn you sickness!

ok so about 3 days ago i was feeling good and healthy, so i decided to share with my host mom, how excited i was for not getting sick, because normally i am completly prone to sickness and i always get sick when i go to different places. Well turns out i jinxed myself, the next day after eating some lunch i started to feel like i was undergoing quimotheropy! i came home at about 11 o clock after a charity thing, and just lost it. i was freezin cold, i couldnt walk and my throat felt like the mount vesuvius volcano! it was horrific, so i popped in some pain killers and was off to bed. unfotunatly the brazilians drugs dont really work the magic, because i thought i was dying. but i ended up sleeping untill 2 the next day and i only left my room to get a piece of toast. and who knew walking to the bathroom that is only 5 feet away could feel like climbing the wall of china. anyway its been 3 day, i havent left the house once and i feel like chopped liver. and to finish it all off the only thing on tv is the baldwin brothers true hollywood story and dr. phil's thoughts on cougars! ahhhh

feelin good feelin fine!

hello all my favorite north americans! i just thought i would give a quick update of things a happening here in brazil, so its been a month (and some change) and i am feeling super good. i dont know what it is, nothing has changed, still working on friendship whatnots and family bonding but i just feel great all the time, its wiked cool. plus i am having a friendship affair with this kid i met at a party here, who is from here but lives in chicago right now, he is going to M. I. freaking T, and he loves star wars, indiana jones, harry potter and lord of the rings, what a dream right! everyone here makes major fun of me because i like star wars they think i am such a square. its classic. anyway i hope all my ladies had fun at homecoming, as i wishing there i eased the pain with an entire pizza, granite, it was a mini pizza i still inhaled it. i hope everything is famous, i miss each and everyone of you, but i am liking it a lot here and me and my foreign exchange friend alyssa (from connecticut) are planning a costume party for our birthday on october 23. oh yeahhuuh!

here are some update photogs!

my brother just working on his calvin klein future, CAN I GET AN AMEN?

ok so here i was just walking to school, and the walk is rather lenghthy but i never thought i would come across stuch a stud. I looked up and there was this 7 year old chubby kid with his hair well jelled wearing a white robe and a sash with some killer flip flops carring a roller back back behind him. what a hilarious kid!

foreign exchange masterminds!

ok so why is it that the wierdest and most impossible things always happen to the white foreign exchange kids that cant speak the language and are left home while their parents go out to test drive a new bar! are you curious, well heres the skinny.
2 says ago after having some nice hang time with my new friend alyssa, it was 10 o clock and i had to go home. Unfortunatly alyssa parents weren't home so they just left alyssa with the gate key to get out. So when we get to the gate we put natually put the key, but the key doesnt fit, so as we are going for round two and trying the other key, we realize that the devil gate isnt going to open. So of course i was like "alyssa dont worry, i am like a limer, ill just jump it" so i started climbing this 9 foot gate and right as i am about to jump over some insanly loud alarm starts to go off like i just ropped a bank. i quickly jumped back and we made a run for it. after the cops calling and a brawl with a neighbor to get another key i finally got out. long story long, when you want to climb an impossible to climb secured gate, think again!

if you are lost it is only for a little while.

i guess it i am at the blogging point where i rant and share my thoughts on myself and my cituation. onward!
well i am here, its wierd to think i live in brazil right now, for the first time in my life i dont belong to anyone, i am all by myself. i guess i saw things going differently. its really scary to wonder if i will be any different at the end of this thing, if i will even change, or just stay the same with a quick brazilian intrelude in my life. i feel like i might not know exactly what i am looking for right know and if i did i dont if i would want to know , with my new ugly mindset. i don't know i am just very unsure of things right now, and i guess i have to find brazil before i find myself.
i don't want to go home, but i just want to find a new one here, but i am still not quite sure i know how.
i miss my parents a lot, i guess i never realized how much light they have shed on me, and as much as i miss that light i am hoping that i will be able to make it all by myself.
its so crazy to think that there is a whole new set of people to influence and be influenced by here, and i can't wait to take part of all it!

happy birrffffdayyy alecccciaaaa!
