"My baby don't care for shows and he don't even care for clothes, he cares for me."

So, lots of things happened in the last couple of days!

I had a great therapy session yesterday. So many topics, so much to talk about. Sadly next friday is a national holiday, and we won't be able to see each other until next tuesday, but we talked so much yesterday that the long wait won't bother me that much. My throat feels better, and I'm much more relaxed. Sakura is finally back home, and I feel much better having her around.

Today I saved someone's life. It sounds really weird to say that out loud, but that's what happened. I had just gotten out of the bus, and I was crossing this pretty narrow street from the bus stop to the supermarket. I saw a car arriving, way over the speed limit, and this woman next to me was looking in the other direction. She stepped right into the street when the car arrived, and just on instinct I stepped after her, grabbed her by the shoulders, and all but dragged her quickly back on the pavement. The car rushed by, so close it almost touched her. She thanked me a lot, and she was shaken up, so I walked with her for a bit, then doubled back and entered the store. That's when I stopped and realized that there was no way for the car to miss her if I hadn't been there. Maybe it wouldn't have killed her, but it was going really fast, it would have definitely seriously injured her. I'm really happy with myself right now. ^^

The weird thing is that I was crossing the street there because I wanted to make some toast. That's the reason. I got a craving for toast on the bus and decided to buy some cheese and ham before heading home. If I hadn't had that silly thought, she would have been hit by a speeding car. What the hell. Life is really, really weird. But the toast was amazing, it truly was toast worthy of a heroine. :D

I've finally learned two full songs on my ukulele, and working on a third. I can do both Space Oddity and American Pie, and I'm working on Rainbow Connection (next stop: AC/DC). It's super relaxing and so much fun. \o/

What else? I finally bought Bravely Default, because everyone was very enthusiastic about it, and because I love RPGs. I'm also reading way more Winter Soldier fanfics than it's probably healthy, because angsty pairings like Steve/Bucky are my jam. :D

I promise if I ever learn how to play You Shook Me All Night Long on my ukulele I'm definitely posting a video here!

You´re a hero!!! I´m so proud of you!!!

Destiny wanted you exactely at this place at this moment. Even if the sign for it was a sandwich toast ;)

Thank you!!! I'm so happy that my istincts work, they took action instead of going for being paralyzed on the spot. You never know until it happens!

I did a lot of impressions of Thor while eating that sandwich, this is a lunch worthy of a hero, ANOTHER, I amuse myself. :D

Wow, you brave girl!!! Well done!!! I'm really proud of you, and hope that lady realised how close she came to being hit by the car, so that she can pay more attention next time, because you can't crave ham and cheese toasts every day, can you? ;)

In effetti... certo, la macchina stava andando parecchio sopra il limite, ma lei non ha neanche voltato la testa verso destra, ha proprio tirato dritta persa nei suoi pensieri. Io che sono veneziana non sono mai così distratta dove ci sono macchine!

It's stuff like that causes me to believe in a higher order to the universe than simply coincidence.

And it's awesome.

I've been binging on Clint/Tasha.

I also think that's really great about the ukulele. I'm totally tone deaf.

It's funny because for me it's exactly the opposite, it's the kind of thing that makes me convinced we live in a godless universe ruled by chaos.

The number of OTPs I have in the Marvel Universe is embarassing. And very confusing. :D

The hardest thing with playing an instrument other than the drums is to get the tone right: the one I'm playing and the one I'm singing. It's harder than it looks!

Mi manca solo il mantello! :D

Wow!! That's so extraordinary! It's like...*flails* I mean it's such a big deal and that lady is special to someone and right now they're utterly happy (without knowing it), because of your good judgement and awesome instinct! And that's just the tip of the iceberg!:)

Isn't it amazing that something indeed extraordinary can just hide in plain sight in an ordinary day?

Anyway, have I missed the post with the Rome pictures? I am still checking LJ once every four-five days, but it's loading every page excrutiatingly slowly for me so I can't load your LJ main page.:/

It was such a huge thing, but it happened so fast, it was all instincts. It seriously took me ten minutes to fully realized what had just happened. And now I feel like throwing Wonder Woman poses in front of the mirror. :D

Oh no, you haven't missed my Rome entry, I haven't written it yet! I have sorted the pictures, but I still have to upload them and write the whole thing. ^^"

LJ kept acting up for me as well, then I downloaded ZenMate for Chrome. It's a free extension that hides your ip address and makes it look like you're from wherever you want to. I chose England, and LJ magically started working again. Maybe it can help you too. ^^
