Or an incredibly happy girl still in vacation-land? I would prefer that one. To the left you have a very, very content Jamie in Brussels, Land of Mannekin Pis (The little boy pissing into the fountain that Brussel-ians adore). Pay no notice to the date, it continued to be wrong during the whole trip. Marcellinha, I still appreciate you lending me your camera!! The only things I regret, a week after coming back, are the nasty migraine in Antwerp, the two petty arguements I got into with the one person I adore the most in the world, and that I had to come home. It has been a trying time this whole week to get up, go to work, and not buy a plane ticket to take me back into Europe. Today could have been the peak of my longing, tomorrow being Paulo's birthday and me checking flight tickets, bank balances and 401K accounts. Bah. I'm here at least till the end of the week. I would never leave Eggs without notice. The office job, either...no matter how shitty they have been to me lately.I'm becoming a Brazillian music fan; I am infatuated with Marisa Monte, bossa nova, and one song this guy sings: palavras ao vento (words to the wind). Now if I could only learn Portuguese to understand my new found obsession. Obsession is a good word. 2 CDs all day long. I can only hope that the Brazillian Music is driving my stupid coworker crazy, as much as her loud ass, nasty smoke smelling self is to me. Blegh!
When did I lose all my patience?!??! I think it was about the time when I started adding spinach and tomato to my turkey sandwiches, instead of potato chips. Mm. Crunchy. I still blow in my chocolate milk though. I can't be all that grown. I can't be all crazy and mean now, can I?? Just jaded from the happiness sucking job and from the wanderlust that controls me. There's gotta be hope. I know I can find it again in yoga: the wonderous peaceful zen that urges me to be better than I am. My favorite yoga teacher (who I haven't seen in 8 months) would say: "you are where you need to be". Being a jaded bitch is where I need to be right now? Ack. Help.
Much more soon. Much more good stuff soon. Promise.
