Sinister: I hate christmas

[Ana Ribeiro]

         I agree with every single word Daniela said about X-mas. "I hate 
Christmas. I hate this time when people are obligated to get along with 
others they don't like, or they don't even know the names. I consider 
Christmas time hypocrit and I hate the end of the year."
         You know, X-mas for me is when grandpas and grandmas (both sides) 
arrives at MY place (I'm 18, so I still live with my parents, arght.... but 
my father's parents are reeally lovely. Too bad I can't say the same about 
mom's parents...). That's when I get to lend my car and drive people here 
and there - so they can visit the important places (I live at Brazil's 
capital), that's when I have to pretend I'm all happy because my aunts are 
here, and pretend I agree with every single comment they make about my 
clothes (black all the time, I sometimes do look a little goth, sorry you 
folks who said you hate them.... even though I'm not goth. I just like to 
wear black clothes and make-up)... pretend I like to be asked a hundreds of 
times about the boyfriend I don't have... pretend to enjoy being with the 
aunts who go tell dad I arrived home at 2 am (that's my 
coming-back-home-hour), "how does he let his little daughter (I'm the 
oldest) arrive that LATE?" oh gosh, I hate that.
         I really hate pretending.
         The Universities' strike is over, so I must start having all my 
classes (I was just having 3 out of 7) next week, and that means no 
vacations for Ana for the next year, and maybe the other one... that sucks.
         But a nice thing happened today, maybe that's why I'm writing... 
there aren't many B&S fans here (Brasília). I was at college, waiting for 
my class to start, and I was walking and singing Le Pastie de la Bourgeoise 
and this cuuute guy stopped me and said "A Belle and Sebastian fan? I must 
be dreaming..." and we started talking and that made me happy for the rest 
of the day (when I started writing that x-mas thing I wasn't, of course, 
but I remembered this and now I'm happy again!)
         All right, that's it, I guess.
         Take care
         Ana

ps: so now there are 3 brazilians on this list who hate the x-mas... and 
for the very same reason... and thx beto for remembering me how ridiculous 
it is to put a pinus tree with fake snow on it and guys dressed in red like 
it was -10°C out there... when it's actually almost 30°C....

You can't have freedom for free
You won't get wise with the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dreams might be"
