hmmm. there's something about repeating three words in my titles....anybody else detecting a pattern here?

new words from molly!

1.) apaixonada - it is an adjective to describe being head over heals in love with someone, or maybe more head over heels in lust with someone, or maybe somewhere in between. (you see that i spelt heals two ways, and one is certainly correct) and i think it is also possible to be apaixonada for chocolate. it wouldn't seem right if you couldn't be. and i love this word. i was apaixonada for a boy on the beach in salvador, and he tasted like oranges.

oranges, molly, oranges. AND:

2.) in portuguese, at times you use the article before a person's name, for example i would say, `eu e a emily vamos emborra´, meaning Emily and I are leaving. but what's great about this is that when Brazilians speak English, before they know very well how it's done, they'll say things like, `How is the Greg?´ `Go get the Willian and tell him to come here.´ And my, oh my, it is funny to laugh at them.

oh ya, the molly ROCKS. isn't love beautiful? apaixonada!

some more words, from maori, because i'm going to learn some maori since i'm doing my essay for australian and new zealand cinema on whale rider (by niki caro):

hui - a gathering
haere mai - welcome/enter
nau mai - welcome
tangi - to cry, to mourn
aroha - tenderness, sustained love
mauri - hidden essential life force

there are many more words. i found these ones at http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/Gallery/tereo/words.htm

well worth the search.

i am making blue eyes tea. it is a loose tea, made of dried fruits and hibiscus petals. i have a teapot that tony found for me in china town, made of glass. the water is slowly being stained a deep, gorgeous red as the tea soaks. the glass teapot is on my white countertop in the kitchen. the contrast is startling, and grabs my throat so that i want to cry. i'm so glad i can see, to be grateful for these tiny flickers of visual beauty.
