I.... I kinda want to go to Anime Friends @_@ It'll be in São Paulo while we're there...! But we already only have 2 weeks to travel as it is, lol.

So I only have today to really kick back and relax in Curitiba. Tomorrow we'll be on the road again. And if we have nothing to do in São Paulo I really hope we don't have to go through it. Think of the worst traffic jam you have ever gotten stuck in: São Paulo is ten times worse. Spend a day in São Paulo and you'll never complain about traffic again. On the other hand they have all sorts of awesome import stores there. We'll see.

In any case, I really want to go to Ouro Preto @_@ I hope we have the time! I've never been there but I love the colonial architecture;;; Oh and we better be stopping in Paraty. Paraty is AWESOME.

BRAZILLLLL BABY
Sooo it was what, 4 hours flight LA - Chicago, then 10 hours flight Chicago - São Paulo (I can type ã now!), then 6 hours driving from São Paulo to Curitiba.... I'm tired, but my biological clock says it's still 5 PM so I'm not really sleepy.
First thing I did was eat a Club Social. Damn those things are addictive. Then we stopped by a barbecue place.
When we got to Curitiba I had Nutrelinha and requeijão. They have the old formula uwahh <3 the liquidy type one! I didn't like the creamy kind! But I'm not used to speading the liquidy one anymore so I made a mess haha.
Sooooahmmmmn. I better get going, I guess.

OH.
MY BROTHER IS FRICKIN TALLER THAN ME NOW
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Bye guys! I'm going to Brazil today. I'll definitely have internet access once I get there but it'll take a while (plus I'll be travelling a lot).

I LOST
MY IPOD
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This is a mini-documentary made by our friends Patrese and Barbara.
Please watch and rate and/or leave a comment. OTL

If you haven't seen them already, I updated days 2 and 3 with their respective pictures.
now I have today's pictures. I arrived late and only stayed a little bit, so I only have a handful but it's ok.

( More pictures )

Sup, my American homies! Hope you all had a fantastic 4th of July. I certainly did.
Yes, this is another placeholder because I am exhausted. I promise to update all these journal entries tomorrow!

EDIT: Allright, I'm ready to post some pictures. 50 total today. A lot of them are from America's birthday party, it being 4th of July and all, but there's many other too!

( America's Birthday Party )

( Other pictures )

This is actually a placeholder because I'm about to fall asleep. Hang on, I'll post pics later!
Today I didn't take nearly as many pictures, for many reasons. One of them being I spent a lot of time with Pho.
Nowwwwww I must sleep.
EDIT: Now we're talking! Here are the pictures. 22 in all this time around.

( Click click~ )
That is the end of Day 2!

Lots of things happened today!
For starters I was cosplaying Hungary. I got 148 pictures today, but obviously I can't post them all.... but this is a HUGE POST. Be warned, your internet will whine.

( Lots and lots of pictures )

Today was Day 0, meaning it's the day we go to pick up out badges! Me, Jess, Taylor and Emily went together and here are some pics.

( Convention center pics. Also one ninja-picture of Italy, because I can. )
And then we went home.
THE END :D

Pretty much all of it is Russia, because I like taking ninja pictures of Russia.
( PICTURES PICTURES PICTURES. )

I completed my cosplay shopping today wheeeeeee
well
I went with Emily and Kelly to the mall. We went to Claire's because Emily needed a headband... but then we saw the store right next to Claire's. It was a new store.
TOKYO
Japanese imports. They had everything from your anime goods to Japanese toiletries. It was quite awesome and quite surreal at the same time. Brand new store. Just there. It was like stepping into a wormhole.
I couldn't resist, I ended up buying a bento box:
( Pic! )

Awesome. And it cost me $2. Yeahh!

Well, to those of you who were wondering what the heck was up with me on DA yesterday...... I blame it on hormones. IDK what was going through my head v_v

Today I went to a Hetalia meet with 801_addict. But I'm tired so I'll save that story for tomorrow.

Also today was the Confederation Cup final. Those of you who have me on Facebook got spammed to death with my incessant cheering, but hey, I'm Brazilian and we were losing 2x0 the first half with US. Luckily we turned it over and won 3x2. I did manage to stress myself to the point where I kicked myself into a bout of hypoglycemia and nearly fainted. By the time the game was over I was lying facedown nearly completely wiped out. Then I downed two glasses of chocolate milk and a lot of candy and that woke me up for a bit.

.....

Hypoglycemia really sucks. But at least I get to eat all the chocolate I want.

But it would have been really shameful to lose the cup to the US. Damn.

Ok, so yesterday was my dad's birthday. I tried calling him, but he didn't pick up. I figured he must have gone out to celebrate with my brother.

Today I found out what happened.

My brother is 14, but he's a very smart kid. He pulled off a surprise party. The kind you see in those TV shows where the main character is all "bawwww everyone forgot my birthday" and then they're all SURPRISE! And it ends in happytimes. So Daniel didn't mention my dad's birthday, at all. He asked to go out some place for a snack. Then as they were eating he excused himself to go to the bathroom... and came back with a little cake. Which of course made my dad happy.

Well, this was all just an excuse to get him out of the house because when they got home.... yeah. A surprise party XD But you see, Daniel planned all of it. It was his idea, he invited everyone and set everything up. I know I complain about him a lot, but I really do love this kid.

We have some friends over. My mom's friend Andrea and her son, Steven, visiting from Sao Paulo. Steven is 11 and so cute, haha. He's a big Harry Potter fan so he brought me all his collectibles, to show off. Today while were at the mall he kept trying to buy me things. He only had $5. But I didn't want him to spend his money on me so I refused everything.

Also, while we were at the mall, two things happened.

Greenpeace Agent: HEY YOU! PLEASE REMEMBER TO RECYCLE!
Me: Dude, I'm from Curitiba. We have one of the world's best recycling programs.
Greenpeace Agent: ......How old are you?
Me: 17.
Greenpeace Agent: Nice.
Steven: You totally just blushed him out.

And then. This lady comes up, and she's all, OMG! Is that your brother? And I'm all, no. He's a friend.
Well, turns out this is a talent agent. She spent a few minutes gushing about how adorable we both were- mentioning how we were both blonde- this other agent comes up and is all, omg! they're so cute! and the other one's all, ikr, and they asked me if I was a singer and I'm like........not really, but I didn't know what to say so I just kinda nodded dismissively. Then they gave me their cards and invited us to an audition on Sunday.

But I'm probably not going XD

Also. About Michael Jackson. I have a little confession.
The only one of his songs that I have ever listened to in its entirety was "Beat It". And that's only because they played it like 5 billion times in the Gym at school.
Yes, I am culturally deprived.
RIP anyway.

My favorite word in German? "Flugzeug". It means airplane. Literally though, it means "Fly thing". OH REALLY. I love how direct German is. I love the whole language really ;o; I melt for German.

In Japanese, my favorite words are "shoganai" and "daijobu". Shoganai means something like "oh well, there's nothing you can do about it". And daijobu means "it's all right". Those are two words that reflect my spirit well XD

In Portuguese, it's a bit harder, since it's technically my first language even though it's really not. (that makes sense. OTL) I love it, I really do. I think everything sounds fantastic when said in Portuguese. ;o; Especially Brazilian Portuguese. It's so ~musical~. AND SO FULL OF ONOMATOPOEIAS. I don't think I can pick a favorite word OTL

------
Well, that was my first time answering one of those questions XD I love languages so much.
Today I got up early and went to meet some friends at school. We ended up at the mall. Emily came over to my house and we baked a cake :D I was craving it so much. Now I have it. Yeahhh cake.

But I don't think I want to go tomorrow. I'm tired.

I feel so meh today. But it's ok.
I have a block of watercolor paper. I was wondering what I should paint, now I decided on JB and Burbank. I think they are good subjects. I still have a lot of paper too. And I'm painting with tempera, but I could also use watercolors.

Tomorrow I finally get out of the house for a bit. Whenever summer vacation starts, I lose my sense of time. I thought today was Sunday for some reason.

Also it's probably just me, but the BGM for Hetalia Ep. 22 reminded me of the music from Tales of Symphonia. o_O

I have a lot of pictures to draw.
