BSB 14/09/1987 Monday – Hello Capoeira!
Me, Andre, Renata, Ranfre, Zeco and Negão are doing Capoeira at INEI, with Divino, Tuesdays and Thursdays. I love it. There’s a guy called Marcio, he’s cute and so we go, if it happens it happens, if it doesn’t it doesn’t. If it doesn’t work I’ll be back to thinking about Gino and he doesn’t deserve me thinking about him. There’s not that much to say, everything is the same.
My life is more or less like this for the last two months: on Monday I wake up very tired, go to school, walk home and spend the whole afternoon outside (although in the last week I’ve stayed at home studying). At night everyone meets up outside and we just mess around, this means the old people in the I block want to call the police because of us, as we’re always there. The rest of the week is the same thing. Saturday is ‘national getting drunk day’. Having said that, I haven’t drunk for the last two Saturdays. Sunday: Gilberto! I never liked it there but now I’m used to it. Yesterday I had Fanta and Velho Barreiro and I was switched on. Me, Nica, Marcos and Negão took the bus back and when we got off I was so desperate for a wee and while the three of them were talking I just felt the warmth down my leg. It was really funny. I peed myself. Everyone was laughing very hard, including myself.
Don’t go thinking I’m ready to join the AA yet, it’s just that I’m a little lost. But I think I still have self-control and well, the worst that can happen long term is get a beer belly and bags under my eyes. Short term I could get run over or do something stupid. But I’m saturated with drinking and I’m taking time off.
