My Favorite Hairdos Ever.

Sorry, but I gotta post this. I love these hairdos SO MUCH! They're the actual definition of gorgeous.
There you go:
Katy Perry, Rihanna and Taylor Swift.
You have to agree with me. If with anything, with this. Really.
I also love Joss Stone's hair. But that's like, always.

The People Up Top Push The People Down Low.

I just wanted to tell this short story that I just remembered.

Once upon a time, I was 11 years old and fell in love with my favorite band ever (Red Hot Chili Peppers). I was obsessed with it by then, I almost only talked about it, I almost only thought about it. It was pratically a sickness, really. And I used to tell people that one day I'd go to Los Angeles with my best friend Flávia (whom I also met when I was 11), and that we were gonna knock at every door until we found where Anthony lived. We used to say we were gonna knock and ask, 'Does Anthony Kiedis live here ?'.

Nowadays, I laugh at this story. But honestly, if I ever went to LA, I'm a hundred per cent sure I'd be feeling restless about going knocking door after door after him. And I'm sure because there's this guy - who might potentially be my soul mate - who lives very far away from here, who's coming to the city I live in the day after tomorrow. And even if I don't meet him, just the thought of being in the same city as him makes me so nervous! I'll probably walk around the city on Thursday looking for him in every face, restless to find him. Even though I know I'm not ready to meet him.

It's just that I got so used to the distance, so used to thinking of him as unreal. Now that I think of the possibility of actually touching him, my whole body gets cold and I get really nervous. But here's the thing, my soul mate or not, I don't really like him that way. Why am I so nervous ?

But then again, I never liked Anthony like that. I was just fan! It doesn't mean I'd marry him.

I should talk about that friend of mine. He's like, perfect. He likes Blink-182, Offspring, RHCP, Sum 41, Green Day (pratically everything I like when it comes to music). He's left-handed, he likes videogames, and football and skateboarding. Seriously, he's perfect. Even his name is perfect. And I'd be really embarassed if he ever read this. But he won't.

I've got other stories like that one about Anthony Kiedis. I've got a few about Eminem and Chester (from Linkin Park). But I'll save them for another time.

Speak Now.

So here's something you didn't see coming: I like Taylor Swift's music. Yeah, that's right. I like girly music. Country pop. I like pop music, yes. Believe me, I do. Still, no pop singer gets near my top 5 favorite bands/singers (except for Britney Spears, but she's like my idol!).

I do have a tiny little problem with Taylor's songs, though. After I fall in love with it,  I spend like several days listening to it non-stop, and then I finally stop and never listen to it again. I don't know why, but I really get tired of it. And I do try listening to it again, I don't know, but I can't make it through.

However, right now I'm still in love with it. She just released and album called 'Speak Now', in which there are lots of new songs, including songs about Taylor Lautner (hot) and John Mayer (not).

Overall, there really are songs worth falling in love with. They're thoughtful, they've got a lot of soul in them, you know ? She speaks from the heart. But I'm also starting to think she seeks drama. Haha. Her song for John Mayer (Dear John) didn't get my attention at all. But the one about Taylor Lautner (Back to December) was the first one I fell in love with. Then I fell for Speak Now, and then Better Than Revenge, and I'm currently in love with If This Was A Movie. 

I can't stop listening to it. I really can't! I spent all day this Sunday sewing these clothes, and listening to it non-stop. It's that catchy. It feels like gum. Real good gum, like those that are a bit acid but have got little bits of sugar in it, so you can't decide whether you love it or hate it, but you're pretty sure you can't live without it. Yeah, pretty much it.

My official review is that it's a good album, but just as good as her last two ones. You're not in for any surprise, neither a bad one, nor a good one.
Maybe that's why I get tired of it.

Anyway. I just hope she'll write a song about Jake Gyllenhaal, haha. That when they break up. I gotta say, Jake's brave. Because, video after video, song after song, I get more convinced that Taylor is obsessed with getting married. I don't know, but to me that's scary.

Btw, if she marries him, I'll kill her with my bare hands.

Apparently Something's Going My Way.

I think I might complain a little too much. 'Cause I was visiting Mark's Twitter like I usually do, and he had tweeted about a new tour date. So I checked their site for every concert they'll be making next year.

It turns out Blink-182 will be playing in Berlin while I'm there. That's right! I'll finally get a chance to see BLINK-182! Dude, it's like, the dream. I mean, two years ago I didn't even think that was possible (but then again, they were still 'broken up'). And now I'm planning on watching them live! Berlin is the coolest city ever, really! I'm so happy! And if it wasn't for this stupid college project that is the most frustrating thing EVER, it'd be a really happy day (Giants have finally won another game, and have good chances of getting to the Playoffs).

Oh, yeah. I guess somethings do go my way.

My Top 5 Favorite (And Least Favorite) NFL Teams.

The favorites:

01. New York Giants.

02. Seattle Seahawks.

03. Indianapolis Colts.

04. San Diego Chargers.

05. Minnesota Vikings.

And the least favorites:

01. New England Patriots.

02. Dallas Cowboys.

03. Green Bay Packers.

04. Philadelphia Ealges.

05. Pittsburgh Steelers.

For the record, I've only recently started hating the Steelers. And only because of the whole story with Big Ben. Until this season, they were one of my favorites. But what happened with Big Ben is just plain unacceptable to me. Just saying.

One Of My Turns.

Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man
Night after night, we pretend it's all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun any more.
And I can feel one of my turns coming on.

I feel cold as razor blade
Tight as a tourniquet
Dry as a funeral drum,
Run to the bedroom, in the suitcase on the left
You'll find my favourite axe
Don't look so frightened
This is just a passing phase
One of my bad days

Would you like to watch TV ?
Or get between the sheets ?
Or contemplate the silent freeway ?
Would you like something to eat ?
Would you like to learn to fly ?
Would you like to see me try ?
Would you like call the cops ?
Do you think it's time I stopped ?
Why are you running away ?

The Best Year To Give Thanks For.

Yeah, right. Let's go through my thanks, shall we ?

I want to thank all the good things that happened to me this year. I want to thank my great state of mind, the state of mind that's been killing me all year. I want to thank my professional life that's taken off, this was probably the best year of college. I want to thank the good luck I've had in love. Oh, yeah. Great luck. I've never been happier when it comes to my love life. No love at all. Awesome. Besides the unfulfilled crushes I had - and the loveless semester I've been having. I also wanna thank how great I look. I haven't looked this good in a long time. Long, long time. I've never felt so good in my own body or mind.

This year had potential to be the best year of my life, and it wasn't. It was terrible. All my thanks were ironic. All of them. Seriously, the only thing I've got to thank this year for is planning the next year.

But that's okay. I always thought life went a good year, a bad year, a good year, a bad year, and then on. So it's okay. I don't mind 2010 sucking if 2011 be a great year.

To top it, the thanksgiving day matched the year. It sucked. My college classes were fine. But I've been hating my Spanish class more and more each day. And then, when I was finally free from my spanish class, IT WAS RAINNING.

And then it took me two hours to get home. Yay. That's the reason why I went by the supermarket and bought myself chocolat, diet coke, trident and a cute coffee cup I've been wanting for a while.

Well. No turkey for today, though it's turkey day. No thanks today, but I wish, I really do wish, that your thanksgiving was better than mine (which isn't that hard, so -).

Either way, happy thanksgiving, everybody!

I'd Go Back To December All The Time.

This will probably be a short post, since I've been kinda busy and I should probably go to bed in five minutes. I've actually come here to post a few links of great fashion blogs. There it go:
Young, Fat and Fabulous.
WishWishWish.
Saks In The City.
Big Or Not To Big.
Kylanite - The Fashion Bubble.
Le Blog De Big Beauty.
Frocks & Frou Frou.
Curvy Girl Chic.
All these blogs are about curvy fashion. Actually, curvy girls. And I love them. I love them because this is the real change in fashion. The 21st century fashion breakdown. For those of you who didn't know, this is the main change in fashion we'll experience. I couldn't be happier.
Although, it would help me if I could get on board with it. Right ?

Gus Van Sant.

I guess everyone knows who Gus Van Sant is. For those of you who don't know, Gus Van Sant is a screenwriter and a director. And probably a thousand other things. And he's really good. He's directed (and written) Elephant (and other movies, like Last Days, Milk and Good Will Hunting. He also directed a music video that I love, Under The Bridge). I watched Elephant yesterday. And it's as great as any of his movies (that I've seen). It's been more than 24 hours that I've seen it and I still haven't stopped thinking about it.

Actually, I'm not gonna say anything about the movie. I watched it without knowing what was about, and I think that makes it even better. I just gotta say that this is one of the best movies I've ever watched. The photography, the way it was directed, the lines, everything. Especially the actors. I'm just gonna say that everyone should watch it (and there'll be some people who'll think it's too slow and too quiet, but it is one of the best movies I've ever watched).

Gus Van Sant is a great candidat for being my favorite movie director (for now, it's still Woody Allen).

Why Tv Series Are Life-Changing (Part 2).

The ones from the other post:

01. Tyron Leitso - Being Erica.

02. Ian Somerhalder - The Vampire Diaries.

03. Hal Ozsan - 90210. 

04. Justin Chambers - Grey's Anatomy.

05. Daniel de Oliveira - Passione.

And the new ones:

06. Eric McCormack - Will and Grace. You'd think the fact that he plays a gay lawyer would throw me off. It really, really doesn't.
07. Josh Cooke - Better With You. The reason why I love this new series. Besides it being really funny. Isn't he adorable ?
08. Charlie McDermott - The Middle. Seriously. He's probably my favorite. Maybe not, since Justin Chambers is in this list. But he's so cute, so adorable, I want him for myself. Haha. Really. Where can I find him ?

I Can't Get No Satisfaction.

Why is staying home all day so appealing ? Why is it that most days I don't even wanna get out of bed ? What is so wrong with me ?

I was talking to a friend of mine today, and I told her that I wanted to be somewhere that's different from where I am. I wanted to be living a life that's a thousand times different than the one I'm living now. And that if I could change my body, that'd be the first thing I would change.

Why is it so hard for me to change ? To remember everytime I pick up some food I don't need, that I don't need it. I keep trying, non-stop. I keep trying, and trying. And I'm never getting there.

You know, most people have some part of their lives right. But I don't. I have no part of my life right. Think about. I'm not pretty, I'm not attractive. Really not. And I'm not smart. Not inteligent. I'm not good at writing, not good at math, not good at science. I'm just not good at anything. I have no talent. Whatsoever. I don't do anything well, specially when it comes to profession things. I'm not funny either. Or interesting. Since I can't do anything, nothing interesting has ever happened to me. And I never win anybody over by personailty, 'cause appearently I've got too much of it, and nobody can stand it. And I've left for last the one thing that bothers me the least: I'm not rich. But I could care more about that.

So. I've got nothing. And lately, I'm not even good at what I used to be good at. I'm not good at German class. And what used to make me happy, college, doesn't anymore.

I just have to hold on for a little longer. Just until I go to Europe.

One thing I gotta keep in mind: by traveling to Europe, I have to keep my body. So I either fix that problem here, or I'll drag it with me.

I really can't get no satisfaction.

I Guess It Could Be Worse.

I'm very insecure about (everything) my hair. And, looking up in google for some assurance, I've found this article, in which the woman said: "Besides, short hair can be sexy; it's just a certain type of sexy. The self-assured, powerful, “don't mess with me” kind. Having long hair is like wearing six-inch heels: it requires an awful lot of effort and seriously curtails your freedom. Perhaps that explains why Victoria Beckham recently had her hair cut short: it was either that, or the Louboutins had to go. She made the right choice."

(Sarah Vine for The Sunday Times website).

If only this would help me accepting my own hair..

'Til I Collapse.

"Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out/ Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth/ Till the smoke clears out and my high burns out/ I’ma rip this shit till my bone collapse/ Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out/ Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth/ Till the smoke clears out and my high burn out/ I’ma rip this shit till my bone collapse"

Yeah, that was pretty much how I was during Eminem's concert. Seriously, I had spent so long under rain and standing, by the time he got on stage, also under rain (he's fucking awesome!), I was barely alive. But then, all of the sudden, there I was, screaming at the tops of my lungs, crying as much as my eyes could stand, shaking from head to toe, feeling a sudden rush of heat go through my whole body. Song by song, word by word, I wore my voice and my heart out. He's the most gorgeous creature in the whole world. The most brillant. The most amazing. His voice, goddammit. He's nose. His eyes. Blue, clearly blue, even from distance (though I was as on the front as it was physically possible).

Total clichê, but I'm sure, a hundred per cent sure, there was a time he looked at me (which wasn't hard, I was really the at the front, really). And he held it for like two seconds. The two most amazing seconds in the whole universe. The whole world shook during those seconds. He felt the love. My love.

And his love, his love came in a different way. For some reason I'm not aware of, he sang my favorite song. Which is my favorite since I was 11 years old. A song that is so unknown, so hidden between famous songs in The Eminem Show, that I have no idea why the hell he sang it. Why did he sing it ? Why the hell did he sing my favorite song ?

Maybe it's because this is a match made in Heaven.

I'm not gonna call him god anymore, because that's a hell of a responsability for just one person. Right now, I just want him to be happy, relaxed, in peace with himself and the world (mostly because of Proof). I just want him to stay alive, to stay sober, to stay just as he is. 'Cause he's perfect just as he is.

"c'mon now, let's all get on down, 
let's do-si-do now, we gon' have a good ol' time
don't be scared, cus there ain't nothin' to worry 'bout,
let your hair down, and square dance with me!"

There Is Too Much To Lose.

So today's Eminem concert here in São Paulo. So I've been dreaming about it since I was 11 years old (almost 9 years). So I'm not sure how I'm gonna react. And I'll be alone (damn, I'm always alone). When I went to McFly's concert, right before it (about two hours before it) I started crying my eyes out. Just for thinking that I was about to see them live. Seriously. I can't even imagine how today's gonna be. I mean, I can't cry before it. I'll be alone. People will think I'm sick or something. During the concert, I'm almost sure I'll cry. Reason why I need to take a mirror ('cause going to it without any make up on is out of the question).

Here's the thing. He's too surreal to me. I can't actually believe I'm gonna see him tonight. It's not because I've waited 9 years. It's because he's always been like god to me. Can you imagine seeing god ? And then keeping on living ? It's too weird for me to think that I'll actually get to see him tonight.

He's not just anybody. He's not just any other singer, or even rapper, to whose concert you go and sing along. That's absurd. Just plain absurd. 

The worst part for my whole believing deficit is that I'm gonna go at three o'clock (when the gates open), and wait until seven o'clock for the opening bands to perform. Em is said to get on stage at eleven o'clock. Seriously, I'll be standing from three to midnight, which is when he's said to be finished. 

But then again, I'll be seeing god. It'll totally be worth it (no doubt about it). It's just -

I have no idea what it is. Wait, maybe I do. Maybe my only problem is going alone. I didn't even try making a friend go. So. My problem.

Either way, I'll come back here when I get home after the concert. I'll come say that it was the best thing in the world. That he really is real! That it was the best feeling in the world.

I've made a promise that if I get to meet him, I'll attend every single class (from college to gym) until December, 14th (which is when my last class ends). What are the chances ?

Being Erica

There's this site I always turn to when I don't  know what to read, it's called Lost in Chick Lit, that has a list of the coolest books in my favorite genre (chick lit, huh). And one day I was going through it, when I saw a post talking about this series. It said that the girl who was posting had finished every season of every series she watched, so she had heard of this one and decided to give it a try. Which is exactly what I did. And, guess what, I'm in love with it. Completely, helplessly, deeply in love with it! It's addicted. So addictive, it was five in the morning when I finished the first episode, and I only went to bed when I had watched every episode that had finished downloading. Like, seriously. It's what I always wanted, in a way.  Think about, she's a girl who's got nothing figured out. She's pretty, smart, funny but apparently blew every opportunity to making it big in life, you know ? She's 32 years old, she's stuck in a dead-end job and is single. She thinks she had everything to have been great, but she messed it up. And then this doctor comes along, his name is Dr. Tom. And he has this magic way of helping her figure her life out. He sends her back to some points in her life when she decided something she regrets now. She wrote a list and he's going item by item of it. I love things where people try to figure their life out - in a fun way. And I love even more when people travel in time (reason why I love Back to the Future). I've only watched three episodes, but I'm on my way to watching every other one, since I've got the whole two seasons and the begining of the third.Seriously, this series is a keeper. No doubt.

Why Tv Series Are Life-Changing.

No specific order.

01. Tyron Leitso - Being Erica. Seriously. He's so dreamy and gorgeous, I melt everytime I see him.

02. Ian Somerhalder - The Vampire Diaries. I don't even watch VD anymore, but he's sure worth anything.

03. Hal Ozsan - 90210. Okay. So he plays a rappist. That's awful. But everytime I look at him, it's so disconcerting!

04. Justin Chambers - Grey's Anatomy. Yes, Alex Karev does make my life worthwhile.

05. Daniel de Oliveira - Passione. Okay, so he's from a brazilian soap-opera. But he deserves being here like every other, for the simple fact that just thinking about how gorgeous he is, it really makes me wanna cry.

So, there. That's why I spend my days watching series. It's really worth it.
