About Me

It’s high time (wow, Robin would just thrill with this one here!) for UPDATE!!Let me see… changed city and cut the Shakira dance thing. Still have the cd – one of the people living in my head really digs that. Instead of one blog, I have now… 4, I guess, and I’m deep into fan fictions. Hey, they say “unleash your imagination”, can’t blame the author! And my hair… let’s see: cut, straight, 3 red strands, straight, cut, straight, red strands turned bloody yellow because I spent the whole day at the sun (I almost turned myself Toblerone brown that time…), cut a lot (and I mean a lot!), changed to side parting, about that. I’m in that “Edward Scissorhands” phase - “take a pair of scissors and happily cut my own hair”. Really cool. It’s turning dangerous by now. As far as I can tell, when I start doing those things to my hair, some change of some kind is about to pop up. My cat is still the same psico-squizoid thing. No changes in that aspect. She might be worst, though. In general, I’m an easy-going person, bad tempered, sometimes, stubborn like hell (my mother’s words…), addicted to caffeine, like cats, writing, chocolate (also addicted), like manga comics, have a thing for fallen angels’ pictures, don’t ask, especially manga, in fact, hope to read all those English classics I have in my shelf, someday, and that bloody paragraphless Saramago, collect mugs, especially mugs with cats, make friends bring mugs from the UK when they go there, like to cook (I’m Portuguese, it’s genetic!), like History, teenagers bring up my urge to kill, like to take photos, sometimes almost getting killed in doing that – try climb the walls of a castle for a good shot and then look to the other side to see how deep it can go! Also very curious about other cultures, my inner desire is to learn lots of foreign cursing. Turkish sounds pretty nice. Greek definitely is! I’m updating this thing in the middle of the night, so I’m not hoping it will turn out well. I drank Lady Grey tea before bed again, though I know it makes me wake up at 3.30 with that awkward feeling I want to do the Olimpics. That’s why I keep pen and paper next to me. Inspiration has strange paths…A/N on the profile vídeo: Battle of One. My favourite, no doubt. Really good to put on a higher volume when that ass that lives next door starts screaming at his wife, calling his mother-in-law a witch – with “w”, not “b”, let’s not take hasty conclusions! - and slamming the damn doors at 7.30 in the morning! Eat dust, punk!! You might have noticed that the guy in the video is not properly wearing a decent piece of clothing, and the thought of looking up for a more civilized video has, in fact, crossed my mind, but then again… why bother?

My Interests

reading, writing - hoping to be a published author some day, music, walking, like to go to those medieval fairs, we have lots of that here in Portugal - the best is in óbidos, in the castle, it is great to walk on the top of the walls, seems we are lost in time. they also have a great chocolate festival... my other interest is chocolate, by the way...

I'd like to meet:

are you too perfect? then just forget...

Music:

rock, hard rock, heroes del silencio, moonspell, aerosmith, 30 seconds (I'm marcian, what can I say...), within temptation...

Movies:

charlie and the chocolate factory, chocolate, pirates, american psico ^_^, most of tarantino, most of rodriguez (not talking about those spy kids...), favourite one is the crow -the first, of course, though also liked the last one, with the kid from terminator. And Equilibrium - beats the crap out of The Matrix (which I would really like to make fly... from my window... with a slingshot...). Hated The Ring (gosh, still have nightmares with that girl...), though I laughed a lot with Blair Witch, which is something... that makes no sense at all =)

Television:

csi - Vegas, of course. And Dex is my personal hero!

Books:

i read almost everything that i get my hands into... some say this can be a problem...

Heroes:

The freak-grumpy old folks back at home, my mum, my brother, the brat, Mary Shelley, India, Sininho, Edu, Luis, Carlos, Maf, Merlin, Sérgio, Alex, Ana, Etix, El Bebe, Xannon… Friends are the family we chose. We’re here for some reason. Getting silly drunk is one of them… =)

Isn't it funny when life has a soundtrack?

Full of sorrow and pain I waited for the day I was born to love Somewhere There's a place for us to go Your strength is in your hands And your beautiful soul We have to move faster and faster to know ...
