Talking about myself is hard for me - quite unlike talking in general, but that's another story... Anyway, I've lived in several different places in Brazil and in Africa - I've actually moved 29 times in my thirty years (now, how's that for gipsy-like living) I've been teaching English as a second language for 11 years and I've been in love with paper since I was 10, which was when my parents gave me my first origami book for my birthday (or for Christmas - I'm not sure, as there's a 4-day difference between the two...) I make things out of felt, biscuit and fabric, but my love of paper is stronger. I love Converse All Stars, and I've practically only worn them since I first baought my first pair, 7 years ago (it kinda takes off the presure when buying shoes, which is something I don't actually enjoy doing). I'm a littel weird, I laugh at stuff people don't, think out loud, sing in public when I have earphones on, as well as at church (My parents are Baptist missionaries, and the whole family's involved at church). I've a Degree in Letras - which is a Brazilian major in teaching, basically. In the movie department, I independent flicks, obscure and pop european movies, old movies and musicals, Science fiction and chick flicks. I like writers who have died long ago (some centuries ago, preferably), thoughtful american poets, weird but cool modern writers , cool chick writers and I have a soft spot for short stories in all genres. My friends criticise some of my taste (or lack thereof, according to them), but I've learned to let it go. I like using parenthesis in texts (which is really easy to notice). And I guess that's it for now =P

Sempre tenho problemas para falar de mim... Falar dos outros não é problema - aliás, falo pelos cotovelos em outras ocasiões. Enfim, já morei em em um monte de lugares: Barão Geraldo (distrito de Campinas), Paulínia (perto de Campinas), Campo Grande - MS (onde estou, na minha terceira passagem pela cidade), Porto Alegre, Manaus, Cidade do Cabo (África do Sul), e Maputo (Moçambique) - não necessariamente nessa ordem! Já fiz 28 mudanças de casa na minha vida, e acho que estou prestes a fazer mais uma... Sou professora de Inglês há 10 anos, e apaixonada por papel desde os 10 anos, quando meus pais me deram meu primeiro livro de origami. Faço coisas com Feltro, biscuit e tecido, também, mas meu amor ao papel continua sendo mais forte. Adoro All Stars, e é praticamente só o que uso no pé desde que comprei meu primeiro par, há 6 anos. Sou meio estranha, rio sozinha de coisas que ninguém entende, racionalizo coisas em voz alta, canto em público quando coloco fones de ouvido (e pago micos por isso) [ canto na igreja também - meu pai é pastor e missionário batista, e a família imediata toda é envolvida na igreja... ]. Estou no último ano de Letras da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul. Gosto de filmes independentes, filmes europeus obscuros e pop, filmes antigos, filmes de ficção científica e comédias românticas bobinhas. Gosto de livros escritos por pessoas mortas há muito anos ( séculos, se possível), poetas americanos reflexivos, escritores modernos e contemporâneos bisonhos mas legais, escritoras feministas bacanas e tenho um fraco por contos de todos os gêneros. Meus amigos criticam muito meu gosto musical (ou falta de, segundo eles), mas eu não me estresso (mais) com isso. Gosto de usar parênteses nos meus textos (deu pra perceber, né?). E acho que por enquanto já deu =P
