ThisIsYou

I'm going to try to enjoy my summer this year because usually summer sucks for me.

So far, so good. Who woulda thunk that just chilling out with friends could be so fulfilling? I haven't actually been doing anything too productive, but I've been enjoying myself. And that's what matters, right?

I've been looking for a job, but halfheartedly. I don't really want one - I want to enjoy these last few summer of youth I have remaining.  But I need money, and I need a job to get money. So I guess I'll be getting one sooner or later.

I have all these great plans: find the best ice cream in the city, go to the beach every weekend, go to all the concerts I can go to (I have tickets to Morrissey, but it's been postponed. Grr.), bike, swim, hike, canoe, kayak.  

Now let's see what actually gets done

Please visit! Comment if you can, make me feel loved.

Straight up German-Russian-American (but really, everyone thinks I'm either Hispanic or half Asian)

A boy from Brazil named Renato Rondinele wrote this for me:

"Amante é...

Amante é carinho,
amor, lealdade,
presença continua
e cumplicidade.
É sinônimo de alegria
usufruir da sua companhia.

Amante é porto seguro
e o sol num dia escuro.
É alegria nas horas de tristeza,
ficando ao nosso lado
nos momentos de incerteza.

Amante é um Anjo sem asas
que, mesmo distante,
se faz presente a todo instante.
Amante é você
que tanto amo!"


Needless to say, though I can understand only a bit, I am flattered.
