Gee-ah-nee and the Bodyguard

Everything here is pretty cool. I've been sick for over a week and was kind of coming apart at the seems today with green snot coming out of my face. It's true, I'm in love with a Brazilian model named Diane, Gee-ah-nee.

She took me to her hometown this week and I met her family and today she told me we're just friends, so as you can tell I'm kind of in a day-to-day battle to live my life alongside an incredibly beautiful and interesting and cool woman.

She looks really Italian, but she's really only a little Italian. She's really Brazilian and really beautiful. She studied to be a nun in a convent until she was 18.

Her dad built the first illegal house in what became really nice beach front favela in the city of Macae. A favela is an area of a city where people build homes without being legally connected to the city. They usually sit high on the mountains surrounding cities.

This girl had never kissed a guy and was the star pageant model of her city. She was working in the bank and Kadafi's nephew walked in to take out some money and saw her and asked his bodyguard interpreter to lure her into his entourage. So the bodyguard found out that she had never kissed a guy and was a model and he decided to keep Diane for himself.

Kadafi's nephew tried to ruin his bodyguard's name and kill him, but I guess they escaped to Copacabana. This bodyguard is now Diane's 45-year-old unofficial ex-husband. I'm the second guy she's ever kissed and she just left this guy after eight years. I'm trying to make her my girlfriend, but she's living in one of this guy's apartments for free and has all these ties to him and everybody knows who she is, so she won't really hang out with me as much as I want to and she won't like let me hold her hand or anything.

I am totally crazy about her.
