Having a computer again makes all the difference, right? Though still trying to update it for the last two weeks, still trying to clean my external drive, now I find myself sorting unfinished tests and spending, according to my mother, far too many ours playing like a kiddie with photographs. I don't care, I've had my creativity bottled up for over a year! My only live problem consists in this: WHERE THE HELL, on my room, will I place the computer? I don't want to have it in the living room anymore, going insane with my father's comments about politics.... but my room if filled with crap, since my book and DVD collection grew exponentially this year... Anyway, here goes all the crazy stuff, only manips though. Trying my hand at HDR, but my images always end up too light, I have not found a consensus with my screen yet... All photos taken by me and HDR-ed. I knew I had a few about to work on and post on DA ^^ ( ... Click for Art Dump )Eeeeenjoy! |

Is it possible to actually hate vacations?
I know I'm hating mine. People have no respect and n o problem about bad-mouthfing you when you're only like two feet away from them. On the other hand they're people over 50 years old and you can't really retorhn as nastilly as you'd want to b ecause you're parents would eat you alive. And the bad-mouthers are actually family.
Catch my drift?
So yeah, hating my vacations, eager for them to end, eager to get a job and get away.
I know, should've got to this conclusion when I was 18 and not 25.
Only 5 more days to go. Note to self to send off the postcards.

Mhm, Haven't poste dhere in a while. I guess I got an Alergy to LJ after the bitchin' posts about my failled driving exam... wich is bound to happen again friday. The exam, not the failing. My father will literaly KILL ME if I fail the exam a second time. Today i had the first of the classes I have dayly till the exam on friday at 2:30 PM. I almost forgot to use my feet so there was again some tap dancing on the pedals. Gotta see into it.
What else happend... I'm totally cured from my burns, I only have a whole knew count of moles where the blisters used to be. Wont go down that road again. After that weekend, the next I went to see a 4x4 truck race where a family friend was racing. It was kinda cool, I wish I could drive one of those. He got on 9yh place, a good one it seems. Later on. in one of those 4x4x loonie sites, appeared the photo of me and the wide of the co-pilot steering a huge ass tire down a hill... lol funny and yet not. http://www.flickr.com/photos/insaneaction/3668746231/ Someone thought this was funny....
After that I was suposed to help looking after the kids on the radical day thing the Association here made. And I got cut off because, and I quote, "She doesn't do a thing here." Okay Xavier, the next time you call me at 9 in the morning of a sunday to go take photos and get burned while doing it, I'll send you the medic bill. I wont ever again answer to his call. I do nothing here right? Okay. I never did this before, but I'm seriously working to make his life miserable before I leave this shit hole. Even Antonio wants to leave, he shares my view that Xvier is making a lot of friends as he goes, (deep portuguese sarcasm here.) Antonio is leaving in August, I'll leave earlier, right after Andrea goes back home to Madeira, I wont put my feet here again. I only pitty Vitor, he will be here alone from then on.
So the big piece of news is that Andreia is coming to Vist me from Madeira, staying with me for 18 days. It's the firts time I'll meet someone I met online. I'm excited and I have to see what to show he. Since I don't have a car yet I can't take her far, but I told my parents that on those two weekends they all go out. The rest of the weeks will be in Porto and Guimarães and such. Oh and Póvoa of course, where we'll stay on my beach appartment. Alone. I'll set fire to the kitchen for sure! lol She arrives on 20th's at 9 AM, I hope to wake up on time and hop on the subway to go pick her up. Really can't wait! :D from July 20th to August 7th I'll be off with her, no net :(
My alergy is making me go insane, the itchy small blisters on my skin. God I hate to have this.... oh yes, and the firts case of A Flu just popped up 20 mins away from where I live. Damned spaniards, sending the flu this way lol Lats night we had 86 cases, I bet we have more today already. Not too bad compared with other countries, but the proximity is unenerving...
Movies to think about: The Green Mile and The Saw. Totally different styles I know, but got me wonder. Green Mile... not that AWE od a movie, but that part of immortality is a good question. Would you want to be immortal knowing that, well, you'd live beyound all the ones you love? Most people at fist shot say yeah, they'd like to be immortal, only seconds later they think about the rest and most waver...
The Saw, even if I like gore movies, those 5, I think they're 5 now, movies have a bit too much gratuite bloood, a bit hard to digest even for me... but it comes up with a veeeeery good question about human behavior. Trapped with another person, someone tells you the only way for you to get out of there alive is to do something really gory and kill the other person that is there with you. What would you do? Kill to survive or let yourself be killed? I think it's a very good question to tink about to what one is able to do given the right conditons...
Keep the thought.

Ode to my Family - The Cramberries |

e nurse said I was healing rather well and I could get the gauze off as long as I creamed the burns every hour (kinda hard to do when everyone at the association is just scating at you like you're an alien...) managed to keep it in place for at lwast two nights, wich is kinda of a feat...
And because of this missed the S.John's night in Porto... I just couldn't go with my shoulders like this, people bump into each other there all the time. I got really bummed, missed a chance to maybe see my friends.
Anyway, photos now of the race and my exquisit lobster tan... (and to think that in spite of my oredal, I wasn't even credited for the photograps, not even on the web page...)
Photos too big and taken from the site of the association. There are more but they haven't uploaded yet:

Oh yes, I totally look like a photogrtaphic reporter...
 The state I had my feet in when I got home from being bathed in dust all day... (I know I have disgusting wide feet...)  And the damage was done... Crap i'm really white... O__O And this was still on sunday evening...  image34.webshots.com/35/0/86/48/257008648UpqVYg_ph.jpgExemple from google. I don't have photos of my burns because my camera sucks, but by thursday my left shoulder developed some blisters. I didn't get a big one like that, but lots of tiny ones like you can see above.  So I been strolling about like that.... how nice. Like always my dad didn't even say a thing. My life sucks at times.... but the bliesters are almost gone now.
Other than this, I'm never again asking people to go to the movies, too much people saying no. As much as I dislike going alone, that seems to be the way if I want to see movies in a theatre. Transformers.... should've went yesterday with hugo, who blew me off. It was almost good, since I wans't much up to be seen in public with a patch on my shoulders, but I really wanted to see on opening nigh :( Optimus Prime must be seen! lol
People been telling me to download True Blood and making a fuss about it - Thanks Tiago, I am downloading now. - lol Guess the Vampire thing is the hip deal again. I'm up for something new, after all I'm done watching all the first seasons of house and last night finished the first of Smallvile. I actually missed a lot of episodes... only 7 more to go, right? ^^
Only a couple of weeks till Andreia comes to stay with me for two weeks! :D It's scary as it is exciting, since I never met her face to face, only through the net... what to show her her, what to show her..

So last Sunday, first day of summer... Xavier calls me at 9:45 AM (I was asleep of course) asking me where I was and if I had the newspaper's camera.
Eh, of course not, I'm in bed, sleeping?
He asked me to get up and go get it, he needed me t take photos of the National finals of the XCO Downhill bike race. www.moravia.pt/
Wait a moment, isn't that Vitor's job?!
And stupid as I am, I get up, dress and go get the stupid camera. I had already taken a few photos on saturday, when I went helping the association - who had made it possible to have such an important event coming to my small town - with whatever they needed, since on staurday it was on training trials. Sunday was the big race. That meant I had to run after the racers to take photos of them... getting dirty with dust, sweating, getting my legs cut on the spikes on the sides of the woods, bearing the 35ºC heat... And I still loved what I was doing.
Only thing is, we have been under a heat wave that only stopped on monday and on sunday was EXTREMELY hot... and well, like always, yours trully gets sunburned. The lobster tan really doesn't look good on me. And for the firts time in my life I drank a lot, 5 bottles of water and 3 of powerade since 10 am to 6 PM. Powerade tastes gooood! :D
I spent part of the evening with a wet bandana over my shoulders and had a few of the guys of the organization pouring bottles of water down my neck. So I caught a car lift down drom the woods back to the finish line to take more photos of the prize ceremony and crap. I only saw how bad I was when I at last got home. And I felt it well at night, it was hell trying to sleep, even afyet putting some potato compresses on my shoulders.
Today I wake up at 1 Pm, go to the bathroom to do my thing... and SQUEAK. My left shoulder was filled with blisters, meaning, second degree burns. Shit. No one is home so trying to go to the hospital is out of questuon, so I dress, eat something and go to the medical center 5 mins away from my house where, VERY LUCKILY, I get an emergency consult with my family medic... that doens't seem very sure what to do, calling a spanish medic from the next room and a connection he had on the hospital. Okay, that even I didn't know it was that bad, I have sunburns every summer for as long as I remember, but never before I had second degree bruns. Let me tell you, it hurts like shit.
So they spread some white cream on me and put a fat-gauze patch on my left shoulder, that is now itching like crap. I have to buy the cream on the pharmacy and go to the nurse on thursday again to see if it's getting better. I dunno who it evolved so fast, last night I had nothing, it not even itching on the burned area while I was watching House MD. And today... BAM! BLISTERS!!
Mom is going to flip when I get home.... the bandage is really becoming itchy now... serves me well, I'll be sure to not do this again. Specially when I'm NOT BEING PAID.
I'll post some photos later, this MAC doens't like me nough to let me upload them now...

... Since I had some thick stuff to rant about between RPs, parents, writting, weather, friends, parents again aaaaand Xavier... and all I can remember about right now it's last night's House episode...
Not even a hood gangsta would look better.... I believe Nelly has sunglasses like that on her store....
and a scene that I noted while watching the Transformers DVD for the 100,000,000 time two nights ago [I love me some robots, sue me!], a scene that happens right on the begining when the soldiers are in Quatar talking about what they miss about home. One of them starts speaking spanish and all the others come off going "English please!" and this happens again later on and the others nag again.
Seriously, the guy should just turn and say: "Then fucking LEARN some spanish."
Why the hell should we bow down to others when they don't respect where we come from? Had the situation happening to me far too many times to not be ticked off by simple stuff like this. There's no respect for the individiual culture these days.
Deeper meaningfull rant later on.

Why yes ,dad, do make me feel stupid and worthless just because I flunked and my retarted neightbout - as you called him - passed at first try. Yes, it will be fucking expensive since you're not working right now, but I didn't say either that I wanted to re-take the exam tomorrow. And why don't you, since you're in a roll, blame me too that things are going down the hill, apparently, at mom's work place? I mean, I'm already the one to blame for all the evils in the world. I can take it, I have broad shoulders.
I love you, but you're a retard when you want to be. This is one of those times.
Big fight, as expected. Just had to leave the house to chill before I really opened my mouth.

Yep, my brain is farting like you wouldn't believe. I forget the names of things, but hey, still haven't crashed the car. My exam will be at 2 PM on FRIDAY, but we'll go to the place in the morning so I can test drive before the big event... at least that. Today Mr. Jorge, at last, shown me the car's engine, since apparentlky I'll be asked about it on my exam... I can't remember a thiong already, someting oil... and water cooler... Im doomed...
The best thing, that is getting my sleep away is the fact that my dad bought a new DVD player - the old one had died on me - that reads everything! I've been spending nights watching all the series I had on DivX on it! And the movies, and the anime series.... LORD, I LOVE THAT PIECE OF CRAP!! :D I'm glad I playfully told dad to buy it, glad he listened!! Whoohoo....
And just because I can, do revel in my awesome photography skill! (eeeh.... NOT LOL but I am allowed to dream...) just a few photos I put on my Deviant art and that are my favs. Been talking with people that REALLY knows about the stuff, I've been learing a lot and U'm thinking about submitting some of these to contests...

So.... eh.... this is all. I have the final driving lesson tomorrow from 4 PM to 5 PM (FEEEEAR)... Pray for me? Please? I'll so need it...

Friday. Driving exam.
Doesn't the man see that i'm not at all ready for it? I mean, I'm pretty decent, but acting in theheat of the moment, like using the stick to change 2 and 3 shifts in a roll is still very confusing to me, causing my feet to make a show of tap-dance on the pedals... I don't feel confident enough as of right now, but I don't have any other choice, I guess I've exhausted my number of lessons and my dad frowned into buying more. And sometimes I forget to signal the manouvers. At least roundabouts, paralel backwards march and parking isn't all that hard in my opinion. I'm quite decent.
I can always scare him into obidience by threatning to use his car... that has to work. And would actually help a lot. be he will never let me put my hands on his car...
*siiiiiiiiigh*
So yep, pray for me. I'll have classes everyday this week, and reday or not, I'll have to go.
... I only hope to not kill anyone.

So sue me, it's my weak spot. Animals.
That same stray cat that last year had a litter of kittens on my garden, this year went more daring and found herself a cozy corner on one of the chicken pens (tho we haven't had chicken for about 10 years now) and had a litter of 6 cute kittens. Four white, one tiger-stripped and a grey one, that if it's a cat, I'll totally keep. They're just the cuttest things, probbaly just 3 days old. We wouldn't know she was there if my dog, yesterday, hadn't found them and started barking insane. I'm just cooing all the time...
Anyone wants a kitten then?

Tomorrow will meet Hugo for the opening night of Angels and Demons movie, he's the crazy one over the books, I'm mildy curious about the movie... hope he wont spend the whole movie commenting 'oh this is wrong' or 'they deleted X or Y chapter' because I'm usually the one doing that, only tis time I'm totally out of my field and will probably sit quiet as a mouse. Only sucks I need to catch a train, probably at night to meet him... at least he's bringing me home.
Driving class went well, I was so sleepy it should be a crime, but hey guess what? I'm good parking and making U-turns, that must count for something... Almost ready for exam, meaning all my lessons are transferred to the morning. Crap.
Bored out of my wits right now, with all the drawings and texts waiting to be finshed. But i'm having one of those really agressive lazy/uninspired attacks that I had so much because they make me see that, whoa, you're not as good as you think are. Meh.... hope it wears off fast, shitty when it happens.
Oh yes, and this is too god to not be mentioned and increases greatly my love for House. Your boss is barelly breathing and has a weak pulse? What to do? No, you don't need paddles.... just twist their nipples! Way to go, Foreman...

Which is the easiest way to describe 15 years passing by in seconds in a way that is easy to understand and amuses everyone? Just add some STRIPPERS.
"It is almost impossible to convey the sudden passage of fifteen years and two months in words. It's a lot easier in pictures, when you just use a calendar with lots of pages blowing off, or a clock with hands moving faster and faster until they blur, or trees bursting into blossom and fruiting in a matter of seconds . . . Well, you know. Or the sun becomes a fiery streak across the sky, and days and nights flicker past jerkily like a bad zoetrope, and the fashions visible in the clothes shop across the road whip on and off faster than a lunchtime stripper with five pubs to do." - in Wyrd Sisters, Terry Pratchett
I'm so easily amused...
