Invincible (oh-oh-oh)

In case you weren´t aware: I have secured a place to live. It is a place where I can leave all of my stuff! I place that I can settle into! And if I had a window, I´d totally have a view of the ocean!

So, far I´ve only met one of my housemates. His name is Carlos and he has dreadlocks. He also has a car and he took me shopping at this semi-distant mall place. So now I have sheets, which is pretty great.

Aside from having a place to live and having sheets, I am also comforted by how much people from home have been reaching out to me. I am an addict to social interaction these days, and when it comes from people who I know well (instead from the mildly creepy guy talking to me just now in the internet cafe, for example) it is all the more inspiring.

And lately, all I listen to is OK Go, MIA and reggeaton. That´s because I need to feel powerful. If you´re walking down the street with some semi-ridiculous reggeaton beat pounding in your ears, nobody can mess with you. That´s right.
