Yeah, I REALLY Have Been On The Computer All Day

Ok, except for when I slept through class!

I am missing a certain wooden floor in my life right now...I realized today I didn't get my daily dose of inspiring convo and chillaxin after eating Isa's tasty treats! And I also realized that you don't have any more minutes after I had already texted you. Boo.

So, yesterday was Brazil's Valentine's, and of course I saw my honey. I wore red lipstick and within 10 minutes it was off my lips, but all over his (not to mention the surrounding areas of my mouth, which Lilia neglected to point out until way later...I was like, you want me to look like a clown??) ; man, I thought that shit was "Colorstay!" Don't believe the hype, J.

Anyhoo, I printed out a cute picture of us in black and white, coupled it with a red frame, and was good to go! However once we met up I started feeling dumb and didn't want to give it to him. That feeling was probably intensified by the fact that Lilia gave her man this entire book full of pictures and commentary, and they were all showing it off. She 3-upped me on that one; however that's not really my stilo...but I finally gave it to him (after I lugged it around Pelorinho with me, and Lilia wrenched it out of my hands) and he loved it. He told me later he almost cried when he saw it. Isn't that like the fuckin cutest thing you've ever heard??

So, last night was good....drank, smoked (actually had good weed this time!!), and...well, you know. Needless to say, I slept an insufficient amount. Definitely not enough sleep to be conducive to trying to decipher what our history teacher says! Oh, well. What's one day? Or...is it like 4 now? Ahh, who's counting?

I hope your day was good! It feels like forever huh?
See you tomorrow, I am about to pass out on this here keyboard. I doubt my brother would like that. Or maybe he would, who the hell knows?

Love (and miss) you!

My boobs no longer stick out over my barriga.

sorry luv, i wasn't gonna update so soon! but i was strolling along, thinking, daymn, shannon prolly still has not put anything up so i'm about to shake up this stale ass site. and you know what? surprise, surprise. oh, how i love thee.
haha, good laughs. i love how you make me laugh- you know you hella do? god, here's a confession: i'ts REALLY hard to make me laugh. you know how i show disappointment (i.e.when Isa whips out the puree for my birthday) like really visually? likewise, i can't fake smile. i just can't. nor can i fake laugh- it sounds more like a whimper. so when i see you, with this big, hearty ass laugh, i am envious. my point is- you make me laugh. FOREALS. i'm always smiling around you, in fact.

oooohhh lawdy- so much for our diet! what is the matter with us!? we need someone like candace to whip us into shape. it's all isa's fault- everyday you come over do you notice a new dessert on the table? i swear, she measures how good of a time i've had in brasil by how many pounds i gain. these cocacola LITE's and "lowfat" cakes are not doing it ma! haha, but you already knew that.
and haha, yeah, she prolly does think you don't get fed. either that or she thinks you have a hypo-glycemic problem the way you're always outstretched on the damn hardword floor, a small pool of food left on your abandoned plate- she's like wtf is this girl ON? haha, isa. titter titter, i'm sure she thinks many things. probably one being that i don't have any other friends. haha. "oh, it's SHANNON here again?" i'm jk. haha, she asks me about dannilo everyday goshdammit. i should just tell her i'm a lesbo. haha. and tht "yeah, shan loved the red p.j.'s"

ok, well i need to go study now. i've just wasted the last hour on looking at god knows what. thanks for posting up what we talked about- i just found that combination of body modification, disconnectivity in the modern age of globalism and whywearesuchfatpigs really enlightening, if not amusing. such brilliance- "damn, why are we so fly?"

well. i luv you. (but of course, you already knew that :))

XY

That's us. The baddest members of the XY Gen. We will write all about it in our future, Pulitzer Prize-winning book. Here we are, in your living room (I, laying on the floor, surprise, surprise, and you are sitting on the couch, writing your paper), just two Berkeley girls in Brazil, currently talking about body modification, being PC, and how during the "communication age" we are more divided than ever. How I enjoy these convos, I must say. And you're right, there aren't many people who would be responsive enough to carry on a discussion of this nature. The worst (or best...) part of that is, that these conversations, are our normal everyday adventures into mind expansion. Yeah, it's pretty much the norm here in Iza's living room. Oh the things we learn from each other. And how I wish there were more people in the world like you (although no one would compare!).

Well, ma, your battery is about to die because I have been on your computer the entire night. I have been at your house the entire night. Iza, Carol, and Dalva must think my mae doesn't feed me...uhhh, by the way, thanks for dinner. My barriga is getting bigger everyday! Me and my belly are a good team.

Beijos my love. I will now exit your apartemento and vai to my own abode to study...or something to that effect.

Boa noite! See you tomorrow!
(right now you are talking about how you are going to build your kitchen on the fourth floor of your future house so that you won't have such easy access to it...and now you are talking about why you don't like cookies and chips...haha!!)

love,

Totally tubular.

Hi honey bunny.
Missed ya today. Went to the beach and got gorgeous sun!! Jeaninie is at least 2 shades darker and muito feliz. It was me, Candace and Sade, and then Eryn joined us later. We took sexy pictures on the beach. Will post a photo para voce cuando eu tenho tempo (and fotos-they're on Sade's camera). We went to go eat at this little cafe across the street and bumped into Chau and her new *ahem* BF. Yeah, this totally cute little Japanese guy. I was quite impressed, they were definitely into each other and stole off shortly. And of course, there was Kathlena, Sharon and Lilia. Didn't even say hi.
Sade and Candace kept checking out cocks today. Like every guy we passed they'd be like oooh, girl, did you see his package!?? And this one guy named Taj who's from NY but got his grad degree at Cal, well, he was Candace's former GSI, and he happens to be here for this conference. We saw him at the beach and Candace was like, "his dick is long." I was like who checks out schlongs! Candace and Sade apparently. Candace goes, "I admit it- I'm a perve." Hahaha. ohh man.
We switched up beaches afterwards, you know the one that's totally crowded? But it was fun- packed as hell, but there's a lot more going on. The sun is stronger, and the waves were totally tubular dude. It was hilarious as the tide kept pulling in; we kept jumping up and screaming!
Now I'm back home, hit up the bolo (just a tad slice ma'am). haha, you ate more bolo when you went home last nite? like at 2 am!? oooooh girl! I'm proud of you for getting up tho. I, uhhh..well, I was too busy uploading videos onto facebook- as you can see. I woke this morning at 9 and went DOH! haha, or something like that. I'm very proud of you, miss. Well done.
Ok, well have fun with your bebe. Holding his hand as he winces in excruciating pain-OW! I hope you snapped a photo or two. Love ya mama, talk to you soon. tchao.

Oooh It's Saturday!

And it is a freakin gorgeous day..

So after I enjoyed some of Dalva's deelish bolo chocolate (yes, folks the exact cake in the pictures!!) I came home and ate some of the chocolate cake my own chef-mom had created. That shit was damn good. And damn bad. But I rationalized like I do with everything I do that is bad for me... I would post a picture of my gut the day after eating hella bolos but you already have a good idea of what it looks like, after we spent many a good hour analyzing it yesterday, while I lay sprawled on your living room, which has the comfy-ist floor ever.

BTW, yes I went running today, and if you're wondering, no, I didn't see you there. But I still love you anyway.

Now I am off to see my Origami get tatted. I will ligar you later dude.

*smooch*
*ass grab*

Bolo chocolate...

OH SHAN!! i called you at your house and your momma started talking senseless jibber jabber. i was caught in a mouth gridlock- now i get what you're talking about! it's 7 o'clock and shannon esta dormindo! que perguicoso!! haha, it's cool, i just woke up from like a 4 hour nap myself and now there's this fat chocolate cake staring back at my face...uhhh, for confirmation, here:

Kick Off!

finally! my good eyebrow side.

the view that started it all

why are we hella fly, yo?

Just had some free time (well..I should be studying, but what can I say? I'm easily distracted), so I thought I would jumpstart The Sunset Diaries: Jeanine and Shannon's tribute to...ummm, themselves? Among other lovely things, you know...

Seriously though, I will never forget our time in Brazil together Jeaninee. Coming over to your house, eating your chef mom's delicious food, passing out on your balconey or your floor after consuming too much food, talking smack, or just talking...bout life, love, and how extremely lucky we are. Not only to be in one of the most beautiful countries in the world, but to be here together, growing, learning, and just being.


Love you hon.
