Lately, my songs are Gypsy by Shakira, The Apl Song by The Black Eyed Peas and Naive by The Kooks. Just throwing that out there as a first off.
So, time is passing outrageously quickly and there’s absolutely nothing I can do to stop it. It’s blowing my mind. Lately Roberta and I have been getting on incredibly well, and I’m enjoying her company a ton. She’s an absolute sweety pie. We take heaps of photos together, we kiss each other good night, and we laugh and joke like sisters- loving it! Yesterday, (although it miiiiight have been a mistake) we went to the tanning salon. People have been calling me negretta ever since. LAWL. Now that I’ve taken a shower though, I think it’s a bit better- I just look like a little brown berry. Unfortunately, any pictures from last night are ruined by my orange glow.
Last night I went to L’ottavo nano with Gian Paolo, Luciano, Denise, Carmello, Manuel and Vincenzo. Roberta went on a date, but ended up coming with us near the end of the night, and while we were at L’ottavo nano Gerardo ended up coming and joining us. Then way later when we were sitting outside Dulcis, Vittorio came and found us with a spiffy new haircut. Let me just say how much I fucking LOVE all of them.
Some of my favorite scenes from the night were slapping Mago’s ass while he was getting a piggy-back ride from Miluccio, and then explaining butt-cheeks, and the fact that the word is the same as cheeks on your face. Lawl. Gerardo was a little blue last night, so he ended up powering beer on an empty stomach then starting licking nutella plates clean. Another lawl moment. And Carmello is enamored of my smooth skin and decided he wanted to eat me- he was sober. Everyone got really into touching my skin, but Carmello got possessive over me, so I just gave Mago my other arm. He also had a blast doing my hair, and I totally loved it.
Gerardo, in his slightly ubriaco state of mind began story telling sessions, where he told the story of Vincenzo, and the story of how Manuel dominated Gian Paolo when he dropped a 5 Euro note. I’ve never heard Gerardo speak that much English in my life- and it was so adorable. He used phrases like “once upon a time” and he’d be like, “now you’re all wondering what happens next! ask me what happens next!” then he would get quiet and wait for me to ask him what happens next.
I also had a blast talking to Denise. She’s such a sweetie pie and I told her all my secrets from Gita- which she was absolutely astounded by. Lawl! And Manuel really wants to know what we were talking about, but no way I’m going to indulge him! 
The night ended beautifully with “grazie x stasera:)” and “tvb 
once upon a time ” texts from Gerardo, “oh my god! 6 pericolosa tu!! ” and “perche’ ho visto che hai fatto all’asscheek di manuel! ” and “Sogni d’oro anche a te… I love you (ho imparato! )” texts from Luciano.
Today, I woke up at 9, had my first shower since going to the dark side, and watched the water run brown off my body. Lawls. Did my hair and makeup while having a dance party to The Black Eyed Peas (loving that filipino song!!) Family told me yesterday that we have to be ready at 11, but it’s 11:45, I’ve been ready for an hour, and when I went downstairs everyone was still in pajamas. I really have no idea when we’re leaving. Haha. But it’s cool, because the church we’re going to for the wedding is literally next door. I can see it from the window, so it’s not like we have to go far. Then we’re going to the lunch afterwards off in some other town and that should last more or less all afternoon. Aldo just called me to go! I’ll write about the wedding tomorrow!
