With one week to go and still several things to do, I thought I'd start a blog to write about the whole experience that will be living in DC. Obviously, I don't plan to abandon LJ/DW or anything like it. After all, I have been posting here for the past five years, and the only reason I believe I managed to do that was sticking to the rule: post whatever and whenever you want.

As much as I love LJ, the fact remains that a blog and Live Journal are, at least in my mind, completely different things. This is a space I've created for myself, and in which I have written a lot of crap things over the years, with the one common denominator that I'm the one writing them. I've always believed that a blog needs a little more than that.

I may double post some of my posts on There and Back Again here, and I'll point out when I've done so.

Sleepy and tired as I am, I'll leave you with the link to the new blog, and the hope that it doesn't look too bad: Click!

PS: Just finished catching up with True Blood, and... wow. Amazing season so far! Also, holy frak, Battlestar Galactica has ridiculousy stolen my heart AND NOW I NEED ICONS.

Snagged this meme from christycorr because I thought it would be fun to do:

Choose your genre show, answer the questions using episode titles from that show—if possible, don't repeat any.

Show: Sex and the City

Are you a male or a female? Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl... The Power of Female Sex
Describe yourself: My Motherboard, My Self
How do you feel: Change of a Dress
Describe where you currently live: Sex and Another City
If you could go anywhere where would you go? I Heart NY
Your favorite form of transportation: Anchors Away
Your best friend is: Ex and the City
What's the weather like: The Cold War
Favourite time of day: Let There Be Light
If your life was a TV show, it would be called: The Freak Show Running with Scissors
What is life to you: Defining Moments
Your fear: Attack of the Five Foot Ten Woman Time and Punishment
What is the best advice you have to give: The Post-It Always Sticks Twice Just Say Yes
Thought for the Day: Ghost Town
How I would like to die: Splat! Let There Be Light
My soul’s present condition: The Drought
My motto: No Ifs, Ands or Butts Yeah. Right.

Granted, SatC isn't my favourite series, but since Chris had already done Six Feet Under, and since the SatC's episode titles are rather amusing, I ended up choosing this particular show. I was right; I had fun doing this. Although now I do feel like watching the whole show again.

On another note, TWO WEEKS before I board to DC. I still have some things to do (like pack), but everything is pretty much in order.

Really. Excited.

I was thinking about writing a blog while I'm there, but I can't seem to think of a title other then There and Back Again. Ideas? Please, please, I need ideas.

I guess I didn't manage to be faithful to what I said on my last post about relationships. More specifically, about my being in one. I've just spent the last week with stheh in both in Rio and São Paulo, and I couldn't be happier.

On an unrelated note, I got a new Macbook. Not the new Macbook, but, faithful to my life's tradition, my dad's old one. I haven't named it yet. It's black and pre-Leopard. I'm really considering "Vetinari" or "Sheldon", but I'm not sure yet. Ideas? Suggestions? Please help.

On another unrelated note, I made a new blog. As of now, I have the Live Journal, the blog in Portuguese and this new one. Obviously, I end up being a terrible updater. Oh, well. By the way, I need to change my LJ sidebar links. God, those are old.

Now it's back to work, college, life. While I love to spend a weekend resting and not worrying about these things, I hate the space in between usually represented by an airport or a bus terminal.

I hope they call my flight soon.

ETA: I handed in the paperwork at the International Studies Center and am one step closer to American University. Wish me luck!
ETA II: HOLY FUCK! I forgot to mention: I got 113/120 on the TOEFL iBT! Thank you so much for everyone's support. I was very, very much pleased with the score.
