Brujeria

I totally passed out last night. Mariam and I were watching The Secret Life of the American Teenager and I don't know why or when I just fell asleep. Maybe because something bad happened to me. Or maybe because I was just very tired. Who knows? So, this might be random, but I have this weird feeling that someone is trying to hurt me. Yes, they are doing stuff to me, like some vudu thing.

A couple of weeks ago, I fell off my bed after having a nightmare that woke up my asleep coulrophobia. If you don't know what that is, too bad, look it up. You'll thank me for making your vocabulary broader (sp?). They were chasing me, with their balloon animals and their ridiculous smiles, they were after me... a minute later, I was falling off my bed and using my left hand to ease the fall. Bad thinking. I sprained it. It's okay now... it just got better...

Last night, I was taking a shower, I like taking showers at night. You sleep like a baby. Anyway, I just got in the shower and the tub was getting filled, and I didn't notice so I had a little water there. O the bad joy. I don't know how it happened but I slipped into the shower and fell, I tried to grab myself from somewhere and I used my hurt wrist. Very bad idea. Now it hurts again. And I kind of twisted my right ankle and now I'm limping. Who falls in the shower?! Seriously. I have very bad luck. Alguien me esta haciendo brujeria. And it's not fun! If it's not a vudu thing, then I have lost my lucky charm, that actually is true. I told people on my MSN and Google talk thingy about the shower the minute after it happened - I had to stop crying first - and they all started laughing. I mean seriously, it's not funny! ... well, maybe a little...

I was thinking today about babies. I like babies. I like kids. They're cute. I even have a list of baby names for my own kids - whenever I have them - but it's a list with only baby boy names... but you knew that, right? If I do have a girl though, I have decided she will be a gymnast and I probably will name her Nadia. Not that I love my name, but Nadia Comaneci changed the Olympics in gymnastics and I'd like her to have a name that actually means something. So my baby will be named after someone successful. Someone who did that name justice. I will do it too... one day. Besides, she was pretty too.


But Nadia is a good name for a girl. You should all name your kids like that. I'm just kidding. But I think it's a cute name. Then again, I started liking my name after I came here because in Peru everybody made fun of it. I think they'd make fun of it in the whole Spanish world. I'd go by my middle name but it is too long and nobody would call me that. The highlight is, well, I've never met a Nadia before. And I bet you haven't either. Or a few of you have at least.

My sister Larissa is coming back today. Her plane leaves in exactly 12 minutes. She is coming back to be with me! And I couldn't be happier! I will pick her up today at 8.30pm. I will see her again after 4 months! Yay!
