BSB 14/02/1987 Saturday
I’m back!!! We arrived last Saturday. News from the last 10 days: Rio=> 4th Feb Chris had a party at her house for her 18th birthday. Obviously Alexandre was there. We walked home: me, Alexandre, Denise, Ana Paula, Ana Silvia and 2 other girls. Alexandre hugged me and we walked together all loved up. I was leaving on Friday night and he said he was going to give me a present. On Friday afternoon he turned up at Maira’s house and gave me an amazing photo of a drum kit, his address and a present I love so much: his two first drumsticks!!!! I couldn’t believe it! The only reason I didn’t give him a massive kiss was because Maira was there.
We were loving each other through looks. Joubert arrived, gave me a photo and my flip flop back (he had taken one of them). We started to play fight, for a change, for ages. Alexandre helped a bit. Then Joubert almost broke my arm. Alexandre came to comfort me and I said ‘Go away, you’re his accomplice!’ – and he got really upset! He spent the rest of the afternoon picking on me and arguing… He didn’t even say goodbye. I was upset and didn’t understand why. Maira said he’s like that, has a difficult temperament. I know I really wanted to kiss him and didn’t… I miss him so much! I keep practising the drums on the sofa with his drumsticks all day long. But I couldn’t understand his sudden anger. I thought he liked me (look at the gifts he gave me!) and then suddenly! Ah, never mind, nothing I can do about it.
The three of us came by bus on the 6th of Feb, when we arrived I ran to my bedroom and gave my new guitar a big hug. I start lessons on Thursday, the 19th. It’s been raining since we got back and it only stopped today. Juliana and Renata came here every day since we got back and I’ve had two spliffs. Maira goes home on the 16th then everything will be back to normal. Never had such quick holidays!
