Guadalajarazo, o lo que es lo mismo: Guía turística a cargo de Julia...

Mayo iba llegando a su primer mitad... y yo me encontraba en uno de esos estados 'freakies', como ella los llama... Al verme como estaba, me ayudó moralmente... y un poco para distraerme de todo, me dijo: "Ursula, vámonos de viaje... si? Mira, déjame checar mi agenda... Si, me van a dar el 16 de septiembre, y este año va a haber puente... ¿Qué tal que nos vamos a Guanajuato?

El plan original, como ella no se cansó de confirmar, era Guanajuato!!! No Guadalajara... Ambos cuna de grandes movimientos que llevaron a nuestro país a donde está ahora, pero al final distintos uno del otro...

Ella quería ir a Guanajuato... Ya después intentó manejarme la culpa diciendo que no había problema, que si ella no quisiera ir, simplemente hubiera dicho no. Y la conozco, y sé que eso es cierto.

Lo más curioso fue como todo le tomó por sorpresa, a pesar de que el viaje no se fue de nuestros inconcientes desde aque fatídico día de mayo... La semana previa a que mi permiso fuera otorgado, ella estuvo mandándome mensajes al celular, que yo no contesté en un inicio por pena y nerviosismo, y al final porque de plano ya no tenía crédito... Pero un sábado a medio día le llamo diciendo que iré...

Ella se sorprendió... Faltaban poco más de semana y media para la fecha, y ella lo daba como causa perdida. Dijo que en su casa no podía creer que yo tuviera permiso... Y no solo eso: gastos pagados.

Las cosas comenzaron a marchar. Compras, pagos en la agencia, acomodamiento de la agenda, y un trabajo que yo no esperaba. En mitad de nuestro furor apaciguado, me llaman para ofrecerme trabajo. Con la mano en la cintura digo: acepto, pero tengo un viaje programado y pagado. Aceptaron, no les quedaba de otra.

Llegó el día y las prisas no se hicieron esperar. Ese día no nos despegamos del celular, y la frecuencia de llamadas subió cuando yo estaba en el aeropuerto y ella apenas venía en camino. Cuando la vi llegar, mi emoción estaba completa: solo faltaba subirnos al avión y que el catfight empezara...

Y ocurrió, a su determinado momento: Desde quiénes irían por nosotros al aeropuerto, a dónde iríamos a cenar, con quiénes pasearíamos, los lugares a los que iríamos a chacharear... y muy importante: ¿Cómo nos acomodaremos en la cama para dormir? Créanme, ella tiene sus políticas y demás protocolos que la llevaron a dormir en el suelo, y a caerse de la cama!!!

Pero sobrevivimos... (la cafeína hizo lo suyo...)

La flaca puso de su parte, y yo intenté poner de la mía. Un día, mientras estábamos en las Ahogadas de la Minerva, volteé a verla, y estaba seria y callada... solo observaba a los demás... y me di cuenta que me estaba cediendo mi espacio, y lo valoré...

Y más aún cuando en la cena en casa de Pau, ellos preguntaron por ella... Razones debían tener para quererla en la reunión supongo...

Aunque ella se jacte de no formar parte del ambiente blogger, mis posts lo único que hacen es introducirla en él... Por tal motivo, ella no les era un personaje muy extraño... Al fin y al cabo es mi novia, y todos lo saben...

Estamos De Fiesta... Nomás Vean Qué Lindos Fuegos!!!

La redacción de este blog, o-sea-se todos los que hacemos posible que ande o deje de hacerlo, quiere felicitar hoy en su cumpleaños a la Srita. Little Masochist por su 25 aniversario... Cada vez se hace más vieja, y aunque engorda por estar sentada frente al computador o porque revisa trabajos o prepara clases, no pierde el encanto que le caracteriza...

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Hija única entre dos hermanos, la Srita. Masochist se las ingenió para no terminar siendo más masculina de lo que es... En serio, le costó trabajo pero algo logró... Quizás sea por eso que su relación con los hombres se torne turbia por momentos, pero al menos hoy por hoy esa relación no es tan complicada como antes... Es bueno probar otras perspectivas... Ver la vida desde el grupo y no desde el individuo... ¿a poco no?

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Con temor a que se enoje la patrona, tenemos que rectificar lo siguiente: El verbo más aplicable a su personalidad es el cantifleo... Habla y habla, y no dice mucho... Se mueve entre palabras todo el tiempo... Palabras sencillas, palabras que la confunden... y confunde con estas mismas a los demás... Y cuando quiere, después de varios intentos, puede llegar a decir te quiero... Solo hay que tener paciencia y ganárselo... lo que no es difícil.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Y hablando sobre esto, la Srita. Masoquista se empeña en reservarnos el derecho de seguir escribiendo... Solo queremos dejar claro que durante estos 25 años ha logrado llegar al punto en que se siente lista para confesar todas esas cosas, las cuales nunca pensamos que ella podría sentir...

Am I The Biggest Tori Amos Fan?

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

In my head, I am her biggest fan... and my friends can see it in my actions... I enjoy having her in my life, hung up on the wall... These pictures show most of my stuff... items that I have been collecting during the past years... Cd's, posters, drawings, paintings, t-shirts, and so on...

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

As you can see, I have double copies of some cd's, and also, you can notice some wear in a few of them... That's because those cd's were around me during my painting and drawing sessions.

I love bootlegs... The first one I got is the number sixth on the picture, for only 2 dlls... It was already used and I bought it at the Spring Valley swap meet. At that time, I thought it was an originally realeased item by Tori. A few others were bought at a local store here in Tijuana (Ciruela Electrica), and the last ones were bought at ebay.

These are my singles...

Their story is very similar to the bootlegs...

I like posters... This is my favorite...

But I have to admit that Bob Masses' work is amazing...

The ebay seller alleagued these are original prints, and they are signed by Bob Masse.

I have only a few magazines... When I was a teenager, I used to buy lots of 'em, and I hate to throw them out to the garbage... So, I stopped buying magazines... Instead I decided to look for the good ones...

I like to personalize my notebooks, so I did it with these ones...

I don't understan why, but Choirgirl is my favorite...

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I only have attended to three shows, and by looking at the t-shirts, you can guess to which ones I went... My favorite? I think Lottapianos... Ben Folds was in it, and Magaly was with me... I sang like I never did before that, to the point of almost loosing my voice, or being punched by some angry female fans during Silent All These Years...

Some artwork and newspaper articles are displayed here... I love that watercolour print... I made it around 6 years ago...

These are my babies... The girl on the right...? She's my beloved one... An old lady wanted me to sell her this treasure (that's how I see her)... And I said no with a nice smile...

I cannot call myself a photographer, but I love to be behind the camera. For some reasons, I have put this activity on the side... But, a few months ago, I had this project in mind... I wanted Tori to be a bullfighter... Red has become one of her personal marks, and red means life and death in bullfighting... I could not get this project to an end... Will do it soon...

You can give a look to what I have in my hard disk by clicking here, here, and here... That's not all... I have a few more gigas stored in cd's... What I like most to download from internet is video...

I just want to thank Alternative Press for releasing the most hypnotizing cover ever... Now it's my wallpaper...

A friend of mine went to Paris... She saw this and started to think of me. Asked her husband to take the picture, just to have a prove that she thinks of me... I said 'you don't have to prove it... sistah!'

I have to admit that Tori has influenced my life in a way that I never thought somebody could do... I mean, outside my family... Yes, I can tell: I AM THE BIGGEST TORI AMOS FAN...

Little Masochist.

Pd. And this little masochist she's ready to confess all the things that I never thought that she could feel...
