Hi there! How are you all? :)

I have received several requests to add a picture of me to one of my blogs, so here it is:

I don't even remember when this picture was shot. I think it was back in March or April, at a friend's house.

I think that one of the purposes of Internet is too make every user annonymous. While we search and wander through the Internet we stop being "us" and are just another user, with no backstory or "past". However, I believe that when someone becomes so involved with other internet users (as I am with my dear Gamespot friends) I find it that learning more about others becomes essential. And I thought that it wasalready timetooffer a "face to the words", as every writer or blogger should do. Everything becomes more real, as if there was actually someone behind everything.

I wanted to dedicate this blog to all of you, since I have made such good friends here on GS for the pastfew months :) Even if this is incredibly bizarre, the truth is that you all have been present in every moment of my life since I started blogging here. I believe that's the power of writing: people get involved in our history, wanting it or not.

I want to thank my closest friends here on Gamespot, at least thosewith which I get better along with!

@EGOE - You always have the most special blogs and it's always a pleasure to read them and comment! I am very glad we've met!

@indzman- Ahh, my very cool friend indzman! It's incredible how you always got nice words to say and have such a good and kind personality! :)

@Just-Adam - A very, very cool and nice friend here on Gamespot. You always have something nice to say, your blogs are amazing, your crazy dreams remind me of my own crazy dreams! :P And Adam... I really don't think you are a jerk :P I share your sarcastic sense of humour and although it gets me into trouble sometimes, I just swipe it off. It's part of my personality and I will never change it and neither should you!

@kairikh - A very cool and nice girl here on GS :) Actually I believe that she was one of the first girls that I met here. You're always very nice and have really good blogs. Everytime I read your blogs I have the feeling that you are feeling what you're saying and dedicate yourself to every comment you make! Thank you for everything!

@nachi_lobo - Probably one of the users here on GS with the best blogs. Although he has a huge friend list, he always finds time to reply to every comment on his blogs and to comment in every of his friends blog! We share the same language, portuguese. Meu amigo, fico muito feliz por te ter conhecido! Nem todos os dias tenho a oportunidade de encontrar alguém tão simpático e honesto na vida real, quanto mais na Internet :)

@TheNineRings - We both share the same passion for every kind of art and have conversations about our art projects :) It's really nice to find someone with the same interests. You're a really nice friend, I am glad I've met you!

@zinoalex - A very cool friend here on GS. You always have time to write long comments and care about your friends. You always have the sweetest words! :) I'm very happy that we've met here on GS!

@ArmoredCore555 - Although you're a recent friend, it doesn't mean you aren't a very cool one! We like to share our likings in music and PM each other quite regularly. You always have the nicest words :)

@Asagea_888 - Also a recent friend. We don't talk much but I hoped we did!You always have great blogs :)

@lightwarrior179 - Probably one of the Gamespot users that writes most admirably. I swear that I've probably never saw a spelling error in one of your comments! :P Always a very good friend, you write the most interesting comments and assertively state your opinion on the subject! I love your honesty :)

I also love all my other GS friends, and if I didn't mention, don't think that I value you less :)

Thank you all for everything! :) You add a little color to my day-to-day life! :lol:

HUGS!
