I’ll write what’s been happening in the news lately:
First : There was an explosion, a terrorist attack, in Italy; a few days ago. They blew up a train and a lot of people died. The only thing they know for sure is that it was a group from the extreme right and there is a suspect, a bearded man, who left the train with an empty bag, a little before it exploded…
Second: It’s been a month since they implanted a plastic heart on a man, he’s doing fine but a bit depressed.
Third: Many rock singers made a record to sell to the Ethiopians, they’ve sold 4 million copies already. This is so wonderful, because who should be doing this didn’t and the rockers (who a lot of people slag off) do such a nice gesture.
Fourth: On a little town (I think Sao Goncalo, where my grandad is) there is a mini Pizza tower, green, 4 storeys high, which is about to fall off, but is taking its time.
I’m going to talk about the family (I enjoy it). Our family is all swapped around really. As Zezé (who is Rosina’s daughter, my dead grandma) has aunt Italia’s temperament, they’re easy to persuade and peaceful. Marisa, Italia’s daughter, is very similar to Rosina. Bossy. I’m not very close to my uncle’s family (my aunt Zezé’s husband, Gil), but I like granddad Ramalho(my uncle’s dad). D. Nina separated from him and married Mr. Mica, who died a short while ago. D. Nina married Mr. Mica a long while ago, he died earlier this year and left her some dollars, that’s why she gave 100 dollars to Zezé. My mum arrived in Rio and will be here around 4.
My mum came and we argued already, she brought me a gorgeous blue shirt. She wanted to see some photos, there were old family albums here, and she took one for herself, saying she was going to choose some (Zezé wasn’t there), but knowing her she’ll just take them. If my mum knew how much I hate her, I hate the things she does. She arrives and takes her sisters things … I have anger, feel ashamed of her. How disgusting! I feel like arguing with her, but if I do she will start accusing me of being aggressive and childish. She says I’m not 5 years old anymore to act like this. Well, neither is she to be taking things without asking… It really irritates me just to think about it.
A while ago (when I was ten) I was a bit kleptomaniac and everyone cried asking why I took things without needing to. Well, now I can see where I got it from! I don’t do it anymore, except for the odd shop lifting .. . And now the **** ( won’t even say it, 4 letters) wants to go to France, before I finish High School. She’s mad, disgusting! We had arranged to go after I finished and now she changes her mind. Well, she can go as long as I can stay where I live and study, I don’t care. I think I hate her, she’s so full of herself.
She’s just frustrated because didn’t get what she wanted from life. She wanted to change the country but couldn’t and now wants to leave. Over my dead body! It’s her friends who put stupid ideas in her head. And, imagine, she asked Carmem to tell me about the birds and the bees, ridiculous, why doesn’t she just buy me ‘I, Christiane F., 13 years old, drugged and prostituted’?
