On another party and photographic depression
Mar 14 98
I had written this all yesterday. When I was almost finished, I hit some
weird key combination on my keyboard by accident, and the window closed without even
asking me if I wanted to save it. It was almost 2 pm, and I was so tired,
I didn't even hit my head against the wall. I just went to sleep.
Danilo left the house early today, my parents went in a trip to my
grandma's house, so I'm here all by myself. Pretty nice. Took a long shower
with the door opened, listening to music at maximum volume. THESE are some
of the good things in life.
The day before yesterday Danilo, I, Davi, Jordana (a friend of Danilo)
and a girl called Livia went to this huge party at my college called Novalgina.
That's a medicine name, mind you. It is a huge free party that happens outdoors
at the college campus, all the students go to it to see people, dance or
just talk to someone they find there. The only problem of it is that, since
it's outdoors, after the guys have drunk a reasonable amount of beer they
simply lose their modesty and start pissing on any patch of grass where
there's no one standing. Consequently, on the day after the whole party
area is stinking of piss.
But it's good to go to these parties. Davi and I met a lot of people,
and had a lot of fun.
We left the party around 2 am. Which means that only went to sleep at
3. I had Calculus classes the next day at 8 am, but I really didn't intend
to go and sleep off it. But Danilo woke me up at 7:30 saying mom had lent
the car for the rest of the day. I had to go to work anyway, so I decided
it was better I didn't miss this chance of getting the car for the rest of
the day.
So, after leaving Danilo at the place where his classes were, I went
to the Calculus class. After it, I waited for Camila to show up, since we
were supposed to prepare next weeks Physics Lab experiment, but she didn't
show up, so I went to the bank to open an account. After that, I decided I
wanted to eat something nice. So I got the car and went to a shopping center
where there's a ice-cream shop I hadn't tried yet. Ate a lot of junk food,
a lot of ice-cream. And spend my last bucks on that.
Went to work at 2. During it, I found out Untitled. It's a
self-portrait project, where the author takes a self-portrait of herself
every day. Great pictures there. It just made me so depressed, I almost
screamed I WANT A CAMERA!! The other day I was riding the bus back home
and I saw this black girl sitting by me. She was about 7, and had these
big smart eyes, I just wanted to have a camera there to take a portrait of
her. I really enjoyed taking portraits during the time I studied photography
at the US.
I had to go get Danilo at 5, and I just had no mind at all to see
petroleum sites anymore, I just wanted to see the Untitled pictures.
So when it was 4 o'clock, and I realized I could do no more productive work,
I left to ge get Danilo. After I found his class, I just sit there for
two more hours, sketching, waiting for him to leave. That's another thing
I started doing, sketching and scribbling every time I have nothing to do,
to try to develop some drawing skills.
I FINALLY bought Madonna's new CD!! VERY good. I know I'd probably
like anything that came from her, but I really liked it, it's pretty different
from everything she's done. That's what I like in her, each of her albums
has its own style, it's own concept.
