Kerby was moving stuff out of Elisa's house today and showed me her box of old Northwest zines. I grabbed some and have been reading them today... I picked up one that was written by STS - the girl that Butchies' song is about - and it was talking about touring in Europe and meeting Dominatrix (Elisa's band). It's so weird and amazing to read ( Read more... )

(ok, who is making anonymous comments? 'cause they're walking the line with them and i thought that we left anonymous lj comment drama behind in middle school. there's a couple people that can say stuff like that to me and it's fine, but i'm generally not ok with blatant sexual comments about minors or people calling me a skanky bitch. got it ( Read more... )

I got an email from Rapha today saying that she couldn't come to Sao Paulo (y'know, that whole work thing) but that I should come back to Juiz de Fora for Pride.

But this cara was in Curitiba because he met a hot girl and he's been here for over two years teaching English to rich kids and his Portuguese is HORRIBLE. I mean, my Portuguese isn't ( Read more... )

Yesterday I was reprimanded twice for thinking a black guy was cute. I love the people I'm with, but the racism and classism is too much sometimes... there's one girl in the friend group I'm with right now who sees eye-to-eye with me on the racism stuff, but she's also the darkest (which everyone points out multiple times a day) and I don't want ( Read more... )

After spending the past few weeks letting my friends do my networking for me, I'm balking at the prospect of having to send out letters of introduction again. At least I think I get to go to the Dyke Music Festival in São Paulo. Heh ( Read more... )
