Nossa Senhora!

so...I probably have the swine flu, who really knows. All I know is that I feel like shit and that I have flu like symptoms...whether its really the flu or not is not yet known. I slept all day today on my grandmas huge ass comfy bed! At around 5 all the portuguese families here in Puerto Cabello went to church together to celebrate the Virgin Mary of fatima. Its Portugal's own little Virgin Mary that they have going on. Her story is so beautiful. I know a lot of people arent religious, but the story really is beautiful and I love how it brings people together a couple times a year. I grew up with all of these people who I rarely get to see anymore because we have all grown up so much so getting to see them is always so fun! Getting to dress up and hang out together to celebrate something so wonderful is amazing in my opinion. I dont really care what people have to say about religion. Its not something you can prove right or wrong and for me its mostly about whats within me and what I choose to believe in. Being Catholic doesnt mean I have to shoot down anyone who disagrees or believes something different, and it doesnt mean I have to follow all the "rules" of the religion. Its all up to me and what I find best fits my life and my beliefs. You can be incredibly proud to be Jewish and that awesome, infact I love that even more. I love how people are proud to be what they are. Whats the point in trying to find all of the correct answers when you will never ever ever ever ever find them? Instead I choose to believe something so much more than anything imaginable and I love it. I think thats really great. I also kind of find it offensive when people who are so against religion celebrate MY holidays like Christmas and Easter etc. If you hate and disagree with religion so much dont run around celebrating something that is based off of it, youre just mocking what I believe in and quite frankly I find it kind of annoying. I dont go around celebrating Hanukkah because its about "giving" and "family". I guess there is no point in arguing about it now since its something that America has ruined all on its own. I just find it really hypocritical. Anyways, we have another church sesh on Sunday and that day we are also having a party for her! yay I cant wait! I have always loved Virgen de Fatima. I have a little statue figure of her and the three kid pastors and I swear I cherish and adore that little thing more than life itself. Infact the crown on the back of my neck is the crown she wears, which also happens to be the crown on the Portuguese coat of arms!! yay for being incredibly proud of my heritage as always! The down side of tonight was seeing my prissy ass cousin Carolina who refuses to talk to me because she thinks shes just the hottest shit in town. How annoying are those people? People whos self esteem are so high that you want to slap them back to earth and remind them that they are normal ass human beings like the rest of us. Most of the people who have that high of self esteem have no reason to anyways. Being vain for no reason is ugly. Just FYI. Ahh im being so negative...I swear its the sickness :(

I also need this ring in my life A fucking SAP!
