hiya... ^-^

are you feeling better? did you have to go to a doctor...hospital?
i'm sending you harmless snuggle-huggies, hoping they can have a positive effect on your health... ^^''''

if you read this, you can share some news with your mom: my father sampled one of the wines, qualified it as 'superb' and locked the other 3 bottles in the cellar for "extremely special occasions"... i fear my book on Linz is not giving as much pleasure *nervous g*

i've got the photos i took there. you're in more than me, the one of us together is cute, but how much fatter can I get without exploding?
want me to send you copies. you look fab at the horse's place ^-^

do I send you Age of Empires? it finally came back to me. can i send it? can i? pretty please?

when you get the Lesley Garrett video let me just say, even if it's not to your taste i love "You'll Never Walk Alone" and "I Will Wait For You", and all of Mozart in it.

anyway, life pretty boring here. give my best to your friends, mum, cats

love you
{{{{{{tricia}}}}}}
always your loving friend

tricia, hiya! ^-^

are you back to school already? had some fun days before that, I hope ^_^
how go the other Silent Hill endings? and Maurice, read, seen, hated? *g* bet you did...
your mom well? all the felines in the home?

i think Neil's mad at me. i think i've been blackballed from the QAFfic Archive update...have you?

do you want a breathing space and for us not to talk? ^^'''' i guess you might, but I'm keeping my feelings to myself, I just want us friendly and on speaking terms...

love you (non-sexual)
{{{{{{tricia}}}}}}
sempre teu.

tricia, my VeryGoodFriend ^-^

when you get a parcel from www.blackstar.co.uk it'll be from me to you, your mom and don't exclude the kittens, okay? *g*

{{{{{{tricia}}}}}}

tricia, liebling... ^-^

{{{tricia}}} -->not loving you any less, just trying not to smother you :-)

sempre teu. sempre te amando. sempre teu.

tricia, liebling (is it okay to still call you that? ^^'''' ) ^-^

i'm determined to see this blog working *g*

how've your days been? how are your mom, your cats, your horses, your sheep? tell, tell, tell
did you miss me one lil' bit. i miss you all the time. i miss pancake soup. i miss all things noodly. i've gone back to plain spaghetti with parmigiano cheese(yes, i've checked the Italian spelling *g*)

dad's fine, delighted with his prezzies and still sure i was a lazy bum over there full time (well...guess i was...*blushes* sawry)

friends who love each other can still visit each other? ^^'''' ^^'''' ^^'''' i wouldn't even want to start thinking we won't see each other again coz of the distance or something... i'd really like you to visit my town... bring a friend, bring a mom, bring Sissi, bring K , go on, please...July?...

pillow's been a major comfort. and teddy. and fluffy furry your mom gave me at the last minute is dangling ingeniously from my PC *ggg*

love you, te amo, ik*g* liebe dich - es ist meinnnatuur, was soll ik maken? (that's kierenDeutsch, btw - at the moment it has one speaker and a childless one at that *hihihehe*)

{{{{{{{{{tricia}}}}}}}}}

sempre teu.

tricia, liebling ^-^

me all packed (except the morning essentials) - me off to bed with you on my mind and later on under the blankie *big cuddlyhug*

*gentle kisses tricia's forehead* *chin* *nosetip* *lips* i love you so much...can't believe in 17 hours you'll be there, so...
^_^ be there pwease...

ich liebe dich
te amo tanto
stretching to infinity <--{{{{{{{{{{{{tricia}}}}}}}}}}}}--> stretching to infinity

hallo liebling, *cinnamon kiss* *cuddle* love you ^-^

t'anks for advice on mom. over-protective of you is fine *g* & you know i'd never give her reasons to growl
*kieren cuddles-snuggles to tricia, purrs and exposes his throat to her lips in a submissive posture*

me go panic some more about tomorrow's petty airport details now.. see ya later *kissyhuggysnugglycuddle*

tricia, liebling... ^_^
good..hmm...mitabendesstime? ^-^ *kiss* love you

need more tips --> how do i adress your mom. i know it's Sie (dritte sing.) but is it Frau Petersdorfer? or a title like Prof, Dok, Ing, help!
doesn't she mind chockies? doesn't she mind me and won't she be over-protective, anyone my own age i'd fight back but if she grrowls at me i'll curl up into a cowardly ball of furr and you pick me up and treat me kind and you'll have my heart...oops ^-^ you already have it... *kissyhug*

25h and 30m!!! I'm dying here! met'inks i won't believe this is so beautiful and wonderful until you're in my arms, snuggling up to all of me... and don't worry about the Sex thing. we have a lifetime and i'm a properly brought-up little gentleman

*purr* *purr* gonna review packin' list some more

love *kissyhug* you! *snuggly-cuddly hug*

wo ai ni.

morning tricia, morning my love, my *kiss* sweet *yummy* baby ^_^

is the film 'The Next Best Thing' or Your Best Friend's Wedding --> me easily confused with Madonna titles tho belie you me, dat gal's got balls! lol!

i hear my music (all) in just 3 places: PC, walkman in bed late at night, LaserDisc which connects with the really big powerful pair of columns of the TV... back in Evora i have a conventional radio/cassette/cd thing and an antiquity, from 1982, in its own (mobel, how do you say that in German, its own furniture?) with nice good vinyl-record.player, single-deck tape and radio. kieren likes it. kieren was 6 when his parents went mad and bought this 'for us all', but really for me... kieren wants tricia to see his 1982 hi-fy system...is kieren a little bonKers today? ("Today? Hahahaha")

right now i'm listen to "Someday(We'll Be Together)--> (it's from Ally McBeal but older than her) *g* and thinking of us ^-^ :

i'm going about the house like a frantic mouse/headless turkey looking for bits of furniture i haven't packed in! Feels soooo goood. 26 hours Oh. My. God. "Take a deep breath dearest" *kieren takes a deep breath* t'ank U *purrr

all my furries send report that's you're very sweet and kind and warm and a pleasure to snuggle up to. i knew that already ^_^

blog more later

song you're listening to is so cute - but how does it apply to me (face like a sealion who's a box champion. body like a camel's hump)
mind you, i'll be dousing myself in cinnamon, perhaps if you shut your eyes and just smell me... but i love you with all my senses, okay? deal! *ggg* *kissyhug* *noserubbing* *cinnamon sniffing 'round each other's lips* "found it!* kiss *kiss*

love you, sawry for typos, am ultra-excited, love you!

hiya! *kissyhug* * feet massage* *sweet grin, not naughty*

visited your paper, pet *long kiss* and your school could fit my faculty in it, except we've gote a dome (hehehe)
i wanna be 18 again and accidentally land in all your classes... *cuddles* *lots of cuddles* *yet more cuddles*

and now if you see furry little things purring at you and grrowling at others, you'll know i'm with you all the way of the way *kiss*

i feel all mellow and romantic tonight. i want to go beneath your window and howl at you *purrrr-grrrowl-purrrr*

if i get calmer i'll see you under the blankie, 'kay?

ich liebe dich
te amo

baby, liebling, tricia...

in case you want to know...

i graduated in this: http://www.iscsp.utl.pt/licrint.html (had 14.25 out of 20.00)
and am doing my Masters in this: http://www.iscsp.utl.pt/mestcpolitc.html what you see is the curricular bit. it's all done. i have 17.66 (out of 20.00)
now there's the THESIS brrrr *seeks shelter & comfy in tricia's embrace)

love you!
sempre teu!

that's it, baby - i'm providing the big splashy 'spumanti' (can't afford the real thing...) and you supply the raisins or sultanas or whatever you call dried wrinkly frapes

have i told you lately that i love You?
have i told you there's no one above you?
(...) ... gladness
take away my sadness
ease my troubles, that's what you do

(see? bit by bit it's coming back - i have it on a Van Morrison/The Chieftains CD that i have packed already..bet you have it,too,OMG!)

yeah, i always misplace my mobile, sometimes for long enough to it to discharge itself completely. Bad kieren! *ggg*

*kiss forehead* *applies cinnamon to his own face and to tricias and then they laze about licking it off each other, purring...*

Yay, my baby just blogged in synch with me! *kiss* *kiss* *kiss*

Salzburg sounds perfect, and i'm sure it'll look perfect, too ;) Me i'd have gone straight to 2 coz i always think i'm too tongue-tied for journalism, but i'm not offering this as a guidance. Japanalogy seems like those specific areas that look deadly appealing on TV but are hardest work possible in real life.

but you're lucky - you have the choice, the brains, the wisdom and the supportive lover - right? *kissy* *purr* *cinnamon kiss*
i wanted to, no, i was conviced i was actually end up studying in the UK - maybe it's meant for us to go work there? 'coz i'm not losing sight of you - or you of me... love you so much *kiss*

ich liebe dich
te amo tanto!

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{tricia}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

jetzt und für immer - teu!
Sempre, yeah! :-) :-)

hiya! *kiss* found mobile! it'll work only for Austria-Austria and Austria-Portugal calls, so you can reach me ("How did you get lost on your way to the airport exit?") and dad, too ("you sound like you have a cold *triumphant grin* ")

mobile number is 965 056 664 (if you dialed 00351 plus this the mobile would ring and i'd have a heart thing. please be kind *purr*)

love you!

hiya! *kiss* slept well? i did... (yay!) it was being so snug *kiss*

yeah, Christmas turned out better than i thought.

OK, here's my addresses and numbers, coz it's easier that way. i think from Austria you have to dial 00351 for Portugal, so:

me: Rua Professor Mark Athias, A7-2B P-1600-646 Lisboa - Portugal phone: 00351 217 597 394
dad(Manuel Valente): Av. Dr. Barahona, 5A-1D P-7000-756 Evora - Portugal phone: 00351 266 705 138
dad, weekends: Quinta das Capitoas, EN-254 P-7170 Redondo - Portugal phone: 00351 266 909 220

me mobile's coming with me as soon as i find it... *sigh*

do you have a New Year's eve tradition when at each stroke of twelve you swallow a raisin with a glass of champaigne? it's supposed to give 12 months of happiness (i never managed more than 7, it's very ticklish-itchy on my throat)

Christmas in Austria is lovely and white, don't be rude to it or next year the snow won't come at all! *sniff* kieren likes snow* *sob-huggy* ^-^ kieren is also very silly today

Oh yes, i arrive in Linz at 14:05(local time, MET) on flight LH ???? from Frankfurt. i swear i'll blog you the flight number still today, lunchtime maybe

*kissyhug, snuggly-huggy-cuddle*

wo ai ni

{{{{{{{{tricia}}}}}}}}

sempre teu!

tricia, lux vitae mia,

VIBlog: 48 hours from now i'll be more than halfway between Lisbon and Frankfurt. this means that in roughly 53h30m i'll be in Linz... think of me as a poor kitten who'll be rooted to the spot purring, meaowing and weeping if no one claims him...

so.. *kissyhug-snuggly-cuddle* you just go and *claim me*, please?

te amo tanto!
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{tricia}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

*kissyhug* mornin' my love

yesterday was my best Christmas since mom died. btw: sorry for all the typos, my eyes were so tired. and the album i gave dad was The Beatles "1"...*g* and i did kiss & hug him for the tickets and we all got very emotional - first Christmas we spent in Portugal since mom died. we even had Bolo-Rei (hole in the midle, lots of crystalized fruits sprinkled on top and extra fluffy interior full of raisins and hazelnuts and almonds *plus* a 'fava' (it's like a big lentille or bean) who gets it pays for the cake(or bakes it) the following Christmas. the fava is small and not dangerous at all *choke, choke...* ^_^

love you *noserubbing*

that song you said was a big #1 hit in 1986 by Jennifer Rush and in the 90s by Celine Dion - "i can... " "we're heading for something, somewhere I've never been. Sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn / about The Power Of Love"--> it's called The Power Of Love (i got the single in vinyl, from back in 1986 - how sad is that? lol!)

you weren't babbling by the way. babbling is what you'll do today, giving me all the details of things that were pleasant, right? please? *purr* i'll curl myself like a little ball of fluffy furr at your feet and listen, okay? *purr* i may occasionally bump my head against you or try to lick your feet - just ignore me... *naughty grin*

wo ai ni.
had lovely night under the blanket, best blankie night ever - it was raining so hard against the window...
ai shiteru.
will you teach me to write something in Japanese characters when i'm there?
ich liebe dich.
love you
te amo tanto!
