Weekend

As I thought before, the poll was a fiasco! But I am fine with that and I am actually laughing about it... Really, I am!

Anyways, the winner option was "staying at Rio" and, therefore, I will stay at Rio. There is only one change abt the weekend: I won't go to nightclubs or party with my friends.

My mom is arriving at Rio today and she will stay here until Tuesday night, so I will hang out with her and enjoy her company. We will probably go to the beach, do some shopping and go watch a nice play or a movie in the evening. It will be nice :-)

I hope you all have fun over the weekend and enjoy the free time without any posts, 'cause you won't hear any news from me before Wednesday!

If you guys miss me too much, you might take a look at the picture below!!!!!! [Who do I think I am to say something like that?! Lol...]

My friends from college and I went out last night for a couple of drinks and lots of laughs. Someone took this picture of me... It's a little bit blurred, but you can see it is me!

Take care!

Poll: What should I do for the weekend?

I really liked the poll idea and I think you guys might help me with something.

As most of you know, I work during the weekends. I do nothing but study during weekdays, and I work every weekend and holidays... A little bit unusual, right?

Anyways, I have good news! I got the weekend off and I still haven't decided what I am going to do. This is exactly where you guys will help me, because I am terrible when it comes to making choices!

What should I do for the weekend? The options are:

a) Travel with my friends to Búzios (beach city);

b) Go visit my family and old school friends at Petrópolis (my hometown - up in the mountains);

c) Stay at Rio de Janeiro and go to the beach and to nightclubs with my friends;

d) Other (you have to make a suggestion)

By the way, "study" is not an option and it can't be a suggestion!

I am so afraid that nobody will vote... It will be the biggest fiasco in the history of blogs! Ha ha ha ha...

Please, participate of this interactive moment of the blog! Vote!!!

Take care!

Do I talk too much?!

I talked to some of my readers and apparently you all share a common opinion: my posts are too long! Come on, guys! I always talked too much in our chats, what makes you think I wouldn't talk too much at my blog?! I thought abt making a poll so my readers would decide if I should write shorter posts, but I was afraid that all of you would vote for shorter posts... So, since I already know that most of you are too lazy for reading long posts, I will try to write shorter posts. It is not going to be easy, but I will try to not talk too much :-( Lucy :-)

I have readers!

I am so happy!!

I found out that I have readers to my blog!!!! And I am not talking only about my 3 dear friends who wrote comments to the posts!!!!

Can you believe that people actually read my blog? Me neither!

It means that you're not the only person reading it. Yeah, I am talking to you who is reading my blog right now because there's nothing better to do!

See? You're not alone! But don't get too much happy about it, my dear reader, because the truth is that reading my blog won't make any real difference to your life.

For example, if someone asks you what you have been reading to, you can't answer "Lucy's blog. She's my friend". I am sorry dude, but I am not cool and my blog isin't cool either... Just pretend you're reading something smarter and more intellectual.

It might not even be something necessarily smarter, but it has to be something that everybody knows about it! That's how life really is...

Maybe you can try one of those famous blogs around the world or a very nice book. I can give you the name of some books if you want to. Nopes, I haven't read them but I know the names so I can seem smarter than I really am ;-)

By the way, I must confess that I forced some of my friends to read my blog... I asked them over and over again if they had read the blog already and they didn't have a real choice: read or suffer the consequences!

I guess this is a typical Lucy Van Pelt's behaviour, but what can I do if I am bossy like that?! This is who I am... He he he he...

Anyways, I wanna thank all of you for spending your time reading the blog and for all the nice messages I got (emails and comments).

Have fun!!!! I love you all!!!!!!!!

Windy day

Some of you had read this before, but I will post this text anyways because I just think it's nice.

It's a history of a girl in a windy day. Just try to imagine the scene on your mind....

"Today definitely wasnt a day to wear a skirt, but i didnt realize that until I hit the streets. The day couldnt be more windy, but now there was no more turning back... I put in my mind that I could handle that with no problem, i just had to hold my skirt a lil bit on the side.

It wouldnt be a problem if I were wearing a tight sexy skirt. Tight skirts dont flow away in windy days, but I just dont wear those skirts. I love wearing comfortable full skirts, I think they fit me so nice.... Yeah, they do fit me perfectly, but not in windy days...

Suddenlly comes an even stronger wind. I really have to stop and stand near a wall holding my skirt with both hands... A lady passes by and gives an evil smile... "Yeah, you are smiling cause it is not happening to you"...

At that moment I ask myself what underwear I am wearing.... Of course, I am using my favorite one! Those colourfull comfortable panties with the following messages: "I hate mondays (front part), I love fridays (back part)".

That is right! It is friday afternoon, I am wearing a skirt, it is windy and everbody is abt to found out that I have a " I love fridays" sign written on my butt! Have I mentioned that the underwear is colourfull? So colourfull that even a blind person would be able to see that...

God finally saw what was happening to me and stop that stronger windy. "Thanks!!!! I guess nothing showed off!!!" I finished everything I had to do on the streets and came back home as faster as I could...."

Do I need to tell that this pitiful girl was me?

You may laugh, I am laughing over here!

Yeah, it happenned to me someday in the end of September, 2006....

What? Did you think I would post only new things about me? Come on, my life is not that exciting...

Have a nice weekend!!!!!! Have fun!!!!!!!

Lucy :-)

What ever happened to Lucy?!?

I always wanted to start a blog, but I knew that I wouldn't write regularly 'cause I am too lazy and I also 'cause I usually quit abt things really easily....

I know this will be another project that I won't make any real effort to keep it alive, but that is who I am and I think I should at least try to make it work! Nobody can blame me for trying, right?

Anyways, after so much time avoiding to write a blog, something happened in my life that made me write it: I deleted my profile at orkut this week.

You are all thinking that this is a silly reason for writing a blog and I almost agree with you. Lemme explain myself:

I am sure almost all of you have profiles at orkut and what orkut is. For those who don't have orkut profiles, I can tell you that orkut is a very nice way to find old buddies and to keep in touch with your friends!

The idea is pretty simple: you get an account, you write down some information abt yourself, join some communities regarding school or hobbies and find old friends you had lost contact with. It is practical, harmless and saves you lots of time, because it is a nice way to keep in touch with people without writing long emails or giving them a call.

But it is also a way to make new friends... I couldn't resist making new friends, could I?!

I love meeting new people and talk abt the most different topics: life, love, movies, books, travelling, family, religion, culture, and music.

Can you already see what happened? I lost myself into the amazing world of orkut and got addicted to it!! I was spending most part of my days just talking to people and doing some "consultancy"... Consultancy? Those who are closest to me know what I am talking about ;)

I finally realized that too much time online just chatting couldn't make me good and I also have other things to do with my life, such as studying to get the public job I want to (competition is tough, exams are getting harder day after day, people usually study around 8 hours per day...).

So I made out my mind: I need to delete my profile at orkut and stop chatting at YM! I need to focus on myself for some time! I got some courage, and deleted the profile... But, then, what should I do about my friends? I left orkut and I also just took them out of my life...

I didnt even talk that much with most of the people in my buddy list, but it was nice to see their display pictures in my top 8 friends online and to know they were there and everything was fine.... We always knew about what was going on with each other lives and we would support each other. It might sound silly to most of you, but this is exactly how I felt about it... So I ask myself if those friends of mine don't have the same feeling about it...

The reason of writing this blog is just to let my friends know what is going on with my life: am I alive? Am I studying? What is happening to me? Did something funny or sad happened last week? What ever happened to Lucy?!

This is the way I found to keep sharing my day and routine with my friends. The silly daily moments of my life will be the bridge that will keep our connection alive.

I truly hope this blog will reach its main goal and it will last for a long time... Long live to "Daily Lucy" ;)

Love you all!!!!!

P.S.: Don't worry, I promise that I won't write those "girlie-emotional-dramatic" things all the time...
