BSB 06/06/1985 Thursday
In the morning Alexandra and I finished the ‘nega’ that we started yesterday afternoon. It looks great! We used an old door for the wood. In the afternoon me, Alexandra, Ana Amelia, Debora and Carla (Debora’s annoying cousin) went to the 406, knocking on every door, asking for donations for tomorrow’s party. When I went to the O block, I met Orlando, he lent me the key to his entrance and we got more donations, and returned the key to him. We went to see the field where the party is going to be and saw some movement in Cristina’s house. We were about to go there when Marcia, Clarinha and Cristina, and a bunch of brats (her students) turned up. They were bringing the sound system down and Cristina was going to rehearse with her students for the ‘quadrilha’, but a different one, with coconuts… When the little girls danced, people started gathering to watch. Orlando stood next to me, and then the people I really wanted to see arrived: Alberto, Julio in his motorbike, etc… They sat in the car park at the L block. They were there for ages, then Julio fell off his bike and everyone went to the field in front of the Q block.
We went to put the sound system away and some of us went to Cristina’s house to arrange the final details for the party. I’m making 50 pasties and a chocolate cake. Skol will help us with 7 stalls, flags, 50 craters of beer and fizzy drinks. This party is going to be great!
In the evening Renata, me, Alexandra, Ana Amelia, Eunice and Debora were out. Me and Alexandra called some of the girls to go to the 406, but they didn’t want to go. Before going there we went to the shops and I bought something to eat. We ate in the B block at 406, then the girls turned up and we went to 406. A boy called Cristovão turned up and introduced himself, he was on his bike. He asked if any of us wanted to go on his bike, but no one did and he looked a bit embarrassed…
Alberto was alone under another building and we all went to him. He’s an arsehole, but good looking. He took my food bag, opened it, and then offered me some, cheeky! The pasties were shite, but he just took them from me then left. I let him keep it without fuss and we got back to the L block.
We got a bit embarrassed about how he had acted, Renata and Ana Amelia went back with Renata’s mum, who came looking for her, and Alexandra and I stayed there, alone. I never felt so much disgust towards someone as I did for this Alberto…
