I think Prince Charles gets handjobs from his Valet, if you want to know....

ah, bliss. What I needed was to go to the gym, hear some bad music, waste my negative energy on chrome steel machines and see some lily white asses in the shower room.

Now I'm in peace.

Have a good weekend.

Yeah, I think he might just be my favorite. I know of nowhere to see him in London, but you're so close to the continent that please, please, PLEASE go to the Mach (sp?) in Vienna someday and see their collection and tell me what you think.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

i will!

:o)

[peraventure.livejournal.com]

heh...but go sooner rather than later, eh?

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

sending me some money and I will!

[peraventure.livejournal.com]

hahahahaha hey, you're really close, when's yer next vacation from work!

So where are you from?

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

ih... long story. I was born in South Africa to an English father and a Brazilian mom... lived there until I was 6... then moved to brazil for 10 years, then singapore for a year and a half, two years in Hong Kong, 5 years in Canada, one year back in Brazil and now 2 years in England!!

what about you?

[peraventure.livejournal.com]

Wow! Why South Africa, of all places, with parents of those countries? You sound like my friend who was a UN doctor's daughter.

I'm boring, born and raised in Florida (although that is a bit of an oddity!), moved to Minnesota after college to go to grad school (didn't), then moved to NYC 11 months ago.

Do you speak Portuguese? oh yeah, and why Singapore?

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

yeah, portuguese is my first language! My dad worked for Bayer (big German multinational) and they sent him around the world to work on managing their factories... so we trailed along. We moved back to Brazil when I was a kid because my mom missed her family and hated South Africa's apartheid (i was born in the middle of it.)

After I finished highschool in Hong Kong, I went to Canada for University. There, I met my boyfriend Kevin... but then my student visa ran out and I had to move back to Brazil. But because Kevin has an Irish passport (and I have an English one, thanks to my dad) we decided to move to England and... here we are!

How's it like living in New York? It's one of my favourite cities. I was there for only a week once, but I loved it.

NYC is really neat. An ex of mine visited once while we were still dating and said that I'd probably like to visit, but not live here - well, he was certainly wrong! Now I just need to be making more money so I don't feel worried about spending "too much" money going out.

Portuguese is nearly like nothing I've ever heard before. I understand some Spanish and was lucky enough to work with a woman who spoke Brazilian Portuguese and at the same time to work at a site with someone from Portugal, so the Brazilian organized for me to hear the two of them speaking together so I could hear the difference. It was really interesting! I love languages and accents, it's an amateur hobby of mine, figuring out where people are from by their accents.

I'd love to go to England. I just bought Neverwhere, Neil Gaiman, and it has a map of the Underground at the beginning. It was neat b/c Thess frequently mentions certain stops and I located them on the map. I'm absolutely in love with accents from the UK (but that's no surprise). They're one of my favorite to do, although my Irish was tinged b/c I couldn't quite get the one down by the Irish guy I knew b/c he'd spent a lot of time in Liverpool. It kept falling into Scottish, which is really easy.

Anyway, I've talked your ear off. You're so lucky to have travelled so widely!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

hehe... thanks! at the time, it didn't feel so lucky. I had to leave my friends behind in Brazil when I was 16 and move to Singapore... and I had to go to an English speaking school when I had been speaking mostly Brazilian Portuguese... it was tough.

Can I add you to my friends list?

:o)

[peraventure.livejournal.com]

sure! better to talk that way than to make huge strings of comments. Can I add you?

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

of course!
