Bienal

[lu]

Well, everyone is talking about it, so I figured I should just say a little bit about My Favourite Book Fair of All Time.

Bienal has always meant a lot to me. Ever since I was a kid my mother took me there, every two years. After I moved to São Paulo I started going every year, one there and one here, in Rio. There was never a Bienal that wasn't special to me in some way.

Over the past four years, they all brought excellent surprises. In 2003, I came out of the closet for the first time in my life. My confident was my best friend and future girlfriend, deadcinderella.

In 2004 I got closer to my freshly acquired friends in São Paulo, especially to hermikiller who would also turn out to be a future girlfriend.

2005 was a Rio year, and I went with my mother, my sister, deadcinderella and christycorr. One of the first times I went out with Chris, and the first weekend we saw each other every day. I guess I don't really have to explain how that turned out.

This year, 2006, I was only able to go on a Wednesday, usually a fairly calm day. Of course, I wasn't counting on the school trips to the place. I met xxxemo_girlxxx, bought only two books on Roman History, and saved the money to spend at Livraria Cultura afterwards. I had a great time, and my companion this time was my best gay friend, magnun.

I wonder if we'll ever date. *laughs*

*confidante

I adore Book Fairs!

Figured I'd leave you a comment in case you were lying when we last talked and need proof of my extreme need to apologise and my love for you. *grins* *winks*

Love you. *hugs*

*cries* I've edited this twice already. I'm obviously horrible at typing.

[firstlightofeos.livejournal.com]

You got there first! Not fair!

*grins*

[anokam.livejournal.com]

*smug* HA! *triumphant*

*grins*

[nancy-downs.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. I wasn't lying! --'

Love you. *hugs*

And yet you complain about me all the time. ¬¬

[anokam.livejournal.com]

*laughs* You're so easy to rile. I was just teasing.

I know. *grins* *offers Lindt as display of affection*

*laughs* I'm being a true friend. Untrue friends would be tactful. I am awfully blunt and honest. *laughs* *hugs* 'Sides, you know much I adore you.

[firstlightofeos.livejournal.com]

Oh, I do love book fairs. It's been forever since I've gone shopping for books...*smiles* I really do have to go again. *crosses fingers and hopes she gets lots of book certificates for her birthday*

Hey, Grandma.

[firstlightofeos.livejournal.com]

Now, now, dear. You have to respect your betters.

*grins* *pulls out knitting needles* *puts on glasses*

Hello, dera.

[nancy-downs.livejournal.com]

When is your birthday? I think I've forgotten! I'll get you a book and give it to you while you're here. *grins*

[anokam.livejournal.com]

March 27th. Why am I not surprised? *grins* Teasing.

[firstlightofeos.livejournal.com]

Umm...it's on Monday. *laughs* No need, really. Don't worry 'bout it.

[magnun.livejournal.com]

[nancy-downs.livejournal.com]

With you, dear. Aren't we supposed to get married? *grins*
