i am a turquoise elf, a fairy, the fairy of delights. my first name means joy and fertility; my last one, stubborness. and i mean it :)
oh well. i am leticia, 21yrs old, carioca born in botafogo. i've lived in the same bedroom in an apartment in lagoa since i was born. studied at a couple of schools where nobody knew who i was and led a pretty uneventful life until the day i made the decision to study *there*, in 1994; weird year, that one; strange february, elections, soccer world cup, english lessons (lessons? lol) with a bunch of weirdos and cambridge proficiency exams, my first contact with tolkien *grin*... and, in 95, *there* - valença. there i am known as elite. here i am lelê, flipper, maria lúcia, and even leticia. i came back from valença and got myself a couple more nicks for my private collection, now estimated by christie's as worth some millions of twix chocolate bars: lefl and its similars that luckily you there *pointing at you with her chin* that don't speak portuguese can't understand, and some other stupid ones by some classmates at the medicine school. two years of social torture at uni-rio before we finally got transferred to the teaching hospital for the practical lessons. absolute relief, maddened neurons, unknown endorfines floating in my body fluids, a really very weird experience. a third leticia reared her ugly head then. but i stray.
no,
i'm not baptized. i have a lot of surnames
that mean nothing. tried weight watchers 3 times but
didn't keep up with it; i have this problem with finishing whatever
it is that i start, you see. i own the warmest room in the
house, which also works as a growing place for insects (no i don't
like the idea in the least, i hate all six-legged living things,
but what can i do if the darn things just love me and drop by to
pay me a visit every night?). bees, moths, cicadas, ooooooh cicadas
simply *adore* me. i don't like going to the beach; i used
to be a regular in ipanema when i was younger but i
think i never trully liked it. a trip to disneyworld
as a 15-yr-old birthday is simply hilarious, way funnier than any corny
birthday party. yeah i saw madonna's concert in maracanã,
didn't see a thing but laughed a lot and sweated even more - jeez, this
city is hot! eating? love it. cooking? yeah
i do cook, and well, though most people don't believe it. i
have very serious problems with books and chocolate - i devour both.
i don't have any musical talents, but can't live without music.
i don't have a boyfriend, never had one, in fact. going
out for parties? sometimes, depends on the moon phase ;)
but i invariably end up alone. i
don't
really care anymore - sometimes.
i
love driving, doing housework, including small repairs; love cross-stitching,
cocooning, i even love noodles, you see.
no
i'm not the patient kind, but i'm working on it. i don't
look very friendly either, i even think i'm a bit scary,
but i'm also working on it. i don't have a studying routine
- yet. my mind is closed to the ones outside, and it only thinks
in terms of words. images mean nothing to
me, mostly. words, either printed or spoken,
are my neurotransmiters.
i'm
a bit exaggerated, easily excited, radical sometimes. overdramatic
too, i'm the kind that grimaces and gesticulates wildly while speaking
- and i speak a lot :)
(pause
for the daily dose of cocoa - chocolate ice cream,
if you take my meaning)
i
have giggling attacks when i have to lie. i tend to be sincere
all the time; a bad thing, i think, most of the times.
this
year i decided to shake myself up
a bit. started rowing in the lake, and oooooooh it's cool :)
this city just rocks, you know :)
and
then i got myself a dog. i hadn't
anticipated how hard some people would find it to pronounce le-go-las,
but he was born legolas, you see; like elleth, like dog ;) he's
cute, a black lab. funny how popular you get when you have a good-looking
dog. i've been 'that girl who owns legolas, that cute dog'
for almost a year now. i wonder if someday someone will refer to
me as 'that cute girl with a black dog'.

now
what the heck does lefl mean? ~
this is where i'm
gonna live someday... ~
