Dude, You guys must like. . TOTALLY hate me now.. its been TOOOOO long!!
-
. .
Over a month and a half - Man, SOOO much has happened between then and now.. cant even begin!
Lets start with a list of bullets shall we??- - *Went to COLOMBO a few weeks ago and grabbed butts with my friend Amanda - - * Went to a BEAUTIFUL farm with Neto E Valeska for a Rotarian's birthday party. Soooo freakin RAD!! I saw a wild Macaw and little baby piggies.. - - awww! - - When i went to eat lunch.. there was a pot full of chicken feet stew.. and PEOPLE ATE IT!! - - - Two words: DIS-GUSTING - - * Two weeks ago Patrocínio had a party all week to raise money for the cancer hospital they're going to build here.. it was called Festa Abraço. - *Party of Hugs* -
-you pay like 5 reais to enter then they had a rodeo and then a concert of some sort.. - -- that Friday night, i was in a terrible mood, and wanted to stay home.. and Neto came in my room and told me we were going to go to the party.. haha, i was annoyed cause he knew i wasnt in a good mood, but i went willingly. - --While i was there i ran into Amanda and the girls, then went off with them for a bit.. at about midnight, i came back to meet Neto and Valeska cause i thought they were waiting on me to leave.. - --When i found them, they were drinkin a beer with some other folks.. and told me that they had bought me a ticket to the night club called the boite *BO-AH-CHEE* which didnt start til one and ended at like.. 4 30 I was SOO suprised! - -- Amandas friend hooked me up with a free bracelete to get into the MVP section of the party, and after the Rodeo and Pagode concert ended, we all headed over to the night club.. Neto and Valeska too!! - --Haha, they hung out in the club til about 3 and then i stayed with amanda til 4 when we headed home.. All in all, im soo glad Neto and Valeska made me go out, it was exactly what i needed! - -
Awesome BLOSSOM! -
*Only to wake up at 9 so i could go to a farm with the girls and amanda at 10.. - - -- when i woke up i talked with neto and he told me that after the Boite, when they came back to the car, the window was broken out of it, and the stereo along with everything else in the car.. was stolen!! I couldnt believe it! - $1600 in damage - - * When i went to the farm with the girls, it was great! We just lounged in the pool all day, WHY they have a pool when theyre FEET away from the lake, is beyond me, but it was sooo nice! Janiena * i dont think thats spelled right..* well anyways, her dad BBQed stuff for us to eat, and we had YUMMY ice cream! Needless to say, i came home with a bit of a sunburn.. but it was QUITE uneven because when i went to whip out my bathing suit, i realized i forgot my top, so i had to spend the day swimming with a t shirt on.. Ei Ei, only me! - -
ahh but the day was D.e.L.i.C.i.O.u.S - -
* that night, i watched FAT ALBERT (The WORST movie EVER!) and then Finding Neverland.. Ahhhh sooooo sad! The movies ended at about 1am and there was a friend of Neto and Valeskas at the house watching with us.. when he left, he brought out his Chinchilla *is that how you spell it?* and i got to pet it!! It was soft as a babys bottom! - -
Totally Righteous - -
* Then, on Sunday night Neto had to work the Parking lot of the party, and i went in and hung out with some kids from school for a bit. Talked a few teachers, and my English teacher, Maragret, informed me that I officially dress like a Brasilian. . Which would have been cool except i was totally wearing the clothes i brought from the US. hahah, i guess i was brasilian even before i knew what brasilan was! - -
* The next week (last week) WAS THE WORST! Soo bad! Neto was traveling all week, and i met the woman that was supposed to be my new host mom, Fatima. She was really nice, but when i went to her house for lunch on Tuesday.. things went crazy. Im not going to go into it, cause it doesnt matter now, but the house just wasnt going to work! Soooo i had to spend from Tuesday til Sunday waiting for neto to come home so i could beg him not to send me there!! It was really stressful.. - - -- Saturday afternoon my friend, Caca *short for Casianna* came to my house with her mom, Mirna, to invite me to live with them instead of this Fatima woman.. - - -- To make a long story short, after a LOOOONG talk with neto, he agreed to let me stay there with Cacá for three months, and i moved in yesterday! Its going great! Her family is the nicest! - -
* Friday was ICBEU's *the language school* Halloween celebration. - - WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? you ask.. - - Well, my friends, that means that they load up all of the kids willing to go, into this bus covered in halloween decorations, and drive from house to house *all people that work at the school* to collect candy! I decided not to participate in this activity, as the average age of the participants was 8 years old.. *about HALF my age* - - but as i was sitting on the couch watching Dawsons Creek, *pathetic, i know * i heard a massive shout and all of a sudden Valeska was letting a MOB of children into our yard and pummeling the poor souls with everything from Suckers to Bon Bons!.. of course, out of curiousity, i cautiously approached the door to see what was going on.. and they snatched me up and carried me off to the bus to trick or treat with them! - -- It ends up that after all the bus fun, we all stop off at Colombo for a halloween party! Being a hostage, there was no way for me to get home.. so i waited it out with my friend, Euriane until about 8 30 when i walked home with her.. and got ready to come back at 10 for the *older* kid Halloween party.. - -- Wouldnt you know, 10 rolls around and when i show up to Colombo.. i walk in to find the place MORE than EMPTY.. im talking like.. 15 people total.. and thats counting all of the ICBEU staff that were required to be there.. hahaha. - -- eventually.. after an hour of talking, we all decided that the DJ sucked and we needed to pretend the music he was playing.. was good.
- -
So, we danced like maniacs! ... and eventually the DJ got better... - - After ALOT of dancing, amanda and i decided it would be funny to non-chalantly throw peanuts at random people *after about midnight, the place started to KIND OF fill up* and watch them try to find out what hit them..
--after we ran out of nuts, i left with Caca and finally got some sleep! - -
* Saturday night, after Mirna had talked with Valeska about me moving in with them.. i went out with Caca and Seijim to Choppin.. well, when we showed up, it was REALLY dead, so we decided to buy some Lemonade and grab Sediom's guitar then head to the square to sing songs.. hahaha. - -- mind you, the square is full of people on Saturday nights, but we didnt care. We sat down on one of the concrete benches in the middle, right in front of the local *Framburger* and sang all kinds of songs. Some people actually stopped to listen to us, Caca can sing REALLY well, and Seijim can PLAY really well.. me, well i can, make background noise! haha. Anyways, these two girls had their dad stop and park the car for like 45 minutes and listened to us. Ohhhh man, it was a blast! We stayed out til about 11 45 *we started singing at about 9* and by the end, we were pooped. - - *when i got home, i hung out and watched, youre never going to believe this, but i watched "The History of the Handsaw" on the local Tool TV Network. Oh my gosh it was funny. I just sat there laughing at myself cause i was up at midnight watching this ridiculous show! - - * hahah, in school today my english teacher, Margaret, (mentioned above) decided to re-do the seating chart.. Well, after she moved a ton of people around, she looked to me in the back of the room.. and told me i had to move up to the first seat in the first row of desks.. no one sitting around me speaks english as well as amanda, who i used to sit by, and i was a bit peeved. I suspect that she moved me because in class i never pay attention because im always writing notes to the kids in the other class, and sliding them under the wall which separates our classes, or reading.. or listening to music.. or .. sleeping. but anyways, up to that point, everyone was kinda peeved cause no one wanted to have to move, but when Margaret moved me everyone started arguing with her.. EVERYONE. It was so funny cause they were saying that i wont be able to do anything if i dont have amanda beside me to tell me whats being said in portuguese.. so kids were shouting *LEAVE ABBE THERE.. LEAVE ABBE THERE!!* and finally, i think Margaret was afraid of some kind of crazy revolt and she told me i could go back to my throne. hahaha yesssssssssssss. The funny thing is that i dont even really care that she moved me.. the seat was kinda nice cause it would mean i could be the first out of the class when the bell rings.. oh well. - - ... and now, I am in my new host family's house, and starting to feel really comfortable here. It was hard leaving the girls, they even started crying, which in turn, made me start crying.. but ill be able to see them from time to time.. and thats a big comfort! Plus, theyre only a phone call away!! - - I dont know if ive told all of you about my friend Caca (with an accent over the last a, the accent button isnt workin right..) but shes awesome. Ive known her for about two months now..Shes my age, but goes to a different school and shes a great friend *hence her taking me in* She is the one that is teaching me guitar! I have some pictures of us when we went to Uberaba to buy my guitar.. ill put some up here for you guys! - - Other than that.. nothin much else to write.. - OH YEAH! Just so you know, XAUSIES means this: XAU is slang for TCHAU which means goodbye.. the SIES on the end is just a cutsie ending we cool people add on! - *like 23o43434.3 people have asked me what that was, just figured i should let all of you know! - Ohhhh yes you also need the link to my new photos.. as i havent posted any on here.. - decided its just too much work! My new photo album is here: - -  -

Talkish toish thees laterish.. (thats for you mom.. O.L.O)
- - -PS MY new Address is:
- Rua Bernardo Guimarares 44. Patrocinio MG apt. 101 Centro CEP: 38740-000 Brasil. - //// Not that it matters to you guys.. i havent recieved\\\\ \\\\a letter since August //// - - (((( Except the box of goodies from Meg-O))))
- ** moral of the story: SOMEBODY PLEASE SEND ME A LETTTTTER!** -
- - ((( OK GET THIS)))
- - OK so, caca's classmates wanted to throw a party but they didnt have a place to have it.. Caca, being the kind person that she is, Volunteers the very top floor of her apartment building telling them that if they agree to have it there, she would be more than happy to organize the place for them. So, she tells them all of the rules of her building and everyone agrees they want to throw their bash there.
So, Caca comes home from school and buys the meat, the drinks, and cleans the upstairs for more than 2 hours.. *only 3 girls showed up to help her*
Then, 8 O'clock rolls around, *when the party was scheduled to start* and we have a whopping 3 girls here just sitting in the chairs watching caca trying to start the fire in the grill *its a charocoal thingy* so i go over to help her. The whole time theyre acting like Caca and I are the house maids and are obligated to do these things FOR them. AHHHH i was so freakin mad. They just sat there with their feet propped up on chairs shouting orders to Caca, and of course, Caca wanted them to be happy so she did what they told her.
at about 9 30 when the crowd showed up.. Someone comes sportin 2 bottles of Vodka, to mix in with the Coke.
*In brasilian parties its really common for kids to drink Beer and Caca parents know that, so the totally trusted both of us to buy the beer and be responsible with the teenagers that were going to drink. They trust us cause they know that we both dont drink and i guess they assumed her classmates were the same. I think most kids showed up with the expectation of getting thrashed. Why would you need 2 bottles of vodka for 20 people?*
Soooo Caca had to let them drink it, cause they bought it with their own money, but eventually almost everyone was looped and shouting at the top of their lungs.. *keep in mind we're on the top floor of a 6-floor apartment building.. with people sleeping below us*
Needless to say, the kids got crazy, and we ended up with like 3 girls hysterically drunk, crying for various reasons, while a couple of the guys kept sneaking off to make out with the girls..
Well, i knew caca was miserable with these people being so rude and immature so i decided i would take matters into my own hands and end the party sooner than the kids expected.. Everytime someone stood up to get more beer or whatever, i would non-chalantly steal their chair and add to my stack over in the corner. . eventually they ened up with NO chairs and sitting on the floor, but they still didnt get the hint.. lol SO i started doing the same thing with the VERY limited amount of cups (due toe the fact that they had broken 7 of them).. and eventually they were drinkin the vodka straight out of the bottle.. AHhhhhhhhhhhh
Finally at about 2 30 when there was no alcohol, cups or.. chairs, haha, everyone decided to head out, either home or to the square to get even more thrashed. but we didnt care, as long as they were out of our building.. ei ei.
DRUNK PEOPLE ARE SO INCONSIDERATE! *soo, that was my first friday night with Caca* - - UPDATE!!!
NEW PICS JUST FOR YOU GUYS!!
