RJ 01/10/1989 Monday Despite the boredom the year has flown by, so fast I only just realised it’s October! It was only the other day I was doing my vestibular exams! Despite the velocity it’s all a bit distant, like it happened a long time ago. Time eats my memories,…

RJ 27/09/1989 Wednesday The dollar shot up today: $7.30! I’m so angry… If only my mum wasn’t in such a rush, what was 3,480 yesterday would have been 4,150 new cruzados today. How it hurts. I went to the dentist in the morning and then to my grandad’s to collect…

RJ 26/09/1989 Tuesday Luciana called on Sunday and said Gino asked her how I was, if she’d been talking to me regularly… I felt a strong urge to call him! This one today was fucked up! My mum is going to buy my ticket to London in Brasilia and I…

RJ 24/09/1989 Sunday Big hangover today! There was a party at Gisele’s (she turned 19 on the 20th). Me, Keyla and Valeria went with Keyla’s friend whose name I can’t remember. Silvana and Barbosa also went. So, me and Valeria sat down and drank 5 caipirinhas and I hadn’t eaten…

RJ 22/09/1989 Friday Went to the dentist on Weds and today, in the end I had 8 fillings and one canal. I guess it’s not that bad after three years without going to dentist, not brushing my teeth often, eating lots of sugar and meat and smoking and drinking. From…

RJ 18/09/1989 Monday I only went back for treatment at the dentist today. I only had to wait for an hour and he did two fillings. Dr. Lenin opened the hole and his son, who is very handsome, filled it in. I don’t know, but a dentist’s room is an…

RJ 17/09/1989 Sunday Today, when I least expected it, I got a call from Gustavo. Usual conversation… I felt a bit fluttered and that’s a bad sign, a sign he still has some power over me, but nothing will change my plans: On his 1st attempt to get together I’m…

RJ 16/09/1989 Saturday The biggest thought transmission I’ve ever seen happened yesterday! I was feeling nostalgic and read the start of this diary, when I was still in Brasilia. First the drama with Gino, all the boys and then Rodrigo. I was reliving those crazy, confusing days with Rodrigo. Everything…

RJ 14/09/1989 Thursday Rita came on Tuesday but went home yesterday as her bedroom was ready and clean. She might come back when they paint the living room, to spend another day. Wagner came here twice on Tuesday. He came on Weds but I was asleep. Nothing will ever happen…

RJ 11/09/1989 Monday We arrived back from Friburgo yesterday at 23:00. I went to the city to exchange some dollars and buy a ticket for my mum (Cuiaba-Brasilia). After that I exercised for 2 hours. I argued with Maira over something stupid and I told her I’m NEVER setting foot…
