tonight
did 120 in a convertible peugeot and ended up at a house so big i got lost. wasn~t my idea. what a glorious night!
rogerio and adoption
so i finally made it to rogerio's mom's house where i will be staying until my departure from rio. what happned was i waited at a bus stop for 6 hours because he told her the wrong time. no worries. yeah, i was just stranded in curitiba, a huge city in brazil with no way to access her or anyone i knew.
anyway-
she picked me up and i had the shittiest excuse for fast food i have ever had. went home and stayed up for a couple of hours talking with rogerio's mom, who is of course, dying of longing to see him. i tell her all the things he says and does, that he wakes up every morning singing, that he quit smoking, that he wakes up every morning at 6:30 to do lifeguard training, that he has so much respect for her becuase she raised her four kids in a hostel-like environment. he's grateful he is wise and has seen more in life than people his age, that he wants to be a good father because his wasn~t. he confided in me that he was adopted . he told me one night that only one other person knows and i, of course, was honored that he chose to tell me. he said he told me because he always admired how openly i admitted to being adopted to everyone. he is ashamed because everyone sayd he looks so much like his fater that he doesn~t want anyone to know. i told him it never entered my consciousness at any moment in my life to be ashamed about being adopted. he cried and told me he loves me like a brother (not a sister).

how you know you're south american
your jeans are either black or too tight
you love novelas
you are used to having one car per 5 people
sardines actually are considered fish
beans and rice are a staple meal
you bust out singing and dancing at any given moment
julio eglesias is a household name
you drink WHILE driving
a rock garden is a luxury
onions are vegetables
drinking at 9 a.m. is not an issue
ten kids? WHY NOT?
your family name is gomez, silva, jimenez, martinez, gonzoles or valenzuela
people in drag gettnig kicked and falling over on tv is funny

issues
after many issues, i am finally free and coming home. someone used my bank account and i was unable to access funds. . so for three weeks, i was without money. thankfully, i have friends who gave me a place to stay and food. my paypal account has also been "accessed by a third party" so i~m screwed. there was much drama over receiving transer funds that i won~t go into. all i can say is that i am really excited to be returning to the states, in hope for technology, quality, friends and familiarity.

Have You Been
Have you been waiting up for me?
Have you been talking to your friends about me?
Have you been watching me when I'm not looking?
Have you been hoping I will call?
Have you been missing our soft kisses?
Have you been looking at all our photos?
Have you been dreaming about me?
Have you been wishing we never split?
Have you been writing songs about me?
Have you been missing my laugh?
Have you been trying to remember my sweet scent?
Have you been closing your eyes and imagining me beside you?
Have you been seeing my face in everyone you meet?
Have you been doing all these things I have done?
Where have you been?
