nothing's impossible
just have to find a way

"Farewell happy Fields
Where Joy for ever dwells: Hail horrors, hail
Infernal world, and thou profoundest Hell
Receive thy new Possessor: One who brings
A mind not to be chang'd by Place or Time.

The mind is its own place, and in itself
Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n.
What matter where, if I be still the same,
And what I should be, all but less than he.
Whom Thunder hath made greater? Here at least
We shall be free; th' Almighty hath not built
Here for his envy, will not drive us hence:
Here we may reign secure, and in my choice
To reign is worth ambition though in Hell:
Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heav'n

que un secret.

Loooooooove.

I have the best sister in the galaxy.

Monica, my sister's friend and relative of my stepfather's, came today. My sister sent me a loot bag of goodies from all the places she's been... my favorite I think is the little notebook made from banana leaves and the seashell ring... and the Peruvian pants... and the rock from Machu Pichu... and the bag... and the surfboard keychain... and my old baby picture... and the picture of her and that hot surfer guy... and... and... and... hahaha.

As for the food... there's not words. I have no idea what they're called in English and translating is impossible so... they're delicious. Made from scratch (process takes over three days) by my sister and my grandma. Also... for the bag of illegal coffee and coca tea... lol, woman what the heck were you thinking?

[EDIT]

Um... there is just... so much stuff in AC:B, I was blown away. I think my favorite part - so far - was climbing to the viewpoint at the top of the Coliseum. I mean... Hooooooooly shit. I loved how they brought some stuff back from the first game. It's gonna be a thing like Uncharted. Once you beat the second one, it's impossible to go back to the first.

Ezio's sister got tougher, his mom is badass. Machiavelli is back in it and he's snarky as all hell. I haven't met Leonardo yet but I'm pretty sure I will soon. I had to rescue Caterina Sforza from the Borgia and I broke into the Vatican a few times already. I renovated 25% of Roma and made friends with the courtesans, thieves and mercenaries. Ezio's new moves are hot. Umm... Roma is enormous. I haven't even been to all of it yet. The Treasure of Romulus, I think, will be my next mission. It's like the history nerd and the game nerd made love and made that game.

ha il suo dolore

If you're here, you've somehow managed to stumble across my blog. The word blog makes me think of snooty fashionistas in New York writing about their later escapades in their pink Mercedes so we'll just call this the place were Ria (yours truly) can spit out whatever the hell she wants with no responsibility or thought about who she might be offending.

Also, if you're reading this, you might want to know a few things. This is my fifth attempt at successfully keeping a record of my thoughts and doings - after a few LiveJournals, a former Blog (if you peek around you might find it), and a few paper journals - so, I figure this might be the last chance I'll give myself to write everyday - if not possible then every other day - about what's going on through my head.

N o, you're not handcuffed to a chair. You may leave if you will. ~~Go watch porn.~~

My basic goal with this is to try to flesh out the philosophies, memories, thoughts that make me - me.

Truthfully, I just want to write again. I miss it.
