So thanks to Faisca, this blog has been hit with its first internet meme. I suppose this is the part where I spill all my deepest, darkest, most shocking secrets…well, sorry, not gonna happen. 
I’m going to, however, share eight non-capoeira-related things about myself, giving you a closer look into the semi-deranged mind you know and love as Joaninha. 
1. Nancy Drew was my childhood heroine. My dream was to be exactly like her, right down to owning the blue Mustang convertible, up until the day I realized that regularly getting tied up in cellars and thrown into car trunks isn’t actually all that much fun… (Although, if I end up going into investigative journalism, there may still be a chance!)
2. I didn’t learn the public transit system in my city until first-year university; up till then I’d gone everywhere by car or on foot.
3. I am a master packer. Give me any suitcase, bag, or valise, show me your pile of junk, and I will get it all in somehow. Just ask my old roommate (or anyone who’s seen me travel)!
4. I don’t really use MSN anymore, and hate it for the way it propagates conversations like the following:
“Hey”
(15 minutes later)
“Hey, what’s up?”
(15 minutes later)
“not much”
(20 minutes later)
“oh, lol”
(20 minutes later)
“yeah, lol”
(30 minutes later)
<smiley face> lol
5. Including this blog, I’m currently working five volunteer jobs simultaneously, all to do with writing and/or communications.
6. I’m a complete sucker for nice stationery. School supplies shopping makes me happy, and I have an ever-growing collection of blank (but very cool/trendy/cute/gorgeous) notebooks just because I can’t help myself…
7. Ispeakreallyfast.
8. I absolutely can’t stand walking down an entire set of stairs without looking down at them. Even if I can count exactly how many steps there are to the bottom, I get more and more paralyzed the further down I go, until I actually have to come to a complete stop, and look down. Weird, isn’t it?
Well, that’s it! Seems like Faisca covered most people when he passed this on, so I guess the line stops here. Hope you enjoyed the ride. 
Same for me on number two Joaninha hehehe
hahahaha! Joaninha! Nice posting!!!
totally agree with MSN – I have removed all the people that have demonstrated insufficient interest to have a normal conversation; I don’t have time for “nothing said just time wasted” stuff
I’ve deleted MSN as well
Pirulito:
Lol! Sweet, I don’t feel so bad now.
Mariposa and Xixarro:
Yes, I find the value:time of all my communications with people has gone way up without it! (Although Facebook is borderline, sometimes. XD)
