describe yourself in aesthetic things: late fall afternoons when the air smells like a campfire, vintage books with the corners of the pages dogeared, lattes with dustings of cinnamon on top, weathered leather journals

“Mrs McCartney” as my best friend calls me (it’s my favorite, I got this nickname because I never stop talking about Paul, so she decided to call me that. @j-e-f-3-0 , I’m very grateful, even though it makes me blush a lot heheh…..)

Last movie I watched:
- As I need to stop watching ONLY movies involving Paul / Beatles, nothing better than reminiscing about my favorite movies from when I was a teenager, so…..
Doris, my beloved ❤
Last thing I googled:
- “the beatles the fool on the hill” , (I don’t understand why anyone who has the copyright doesn’t put this video on yt! I need it!) And yes, I have a habit of watching that alternate version of the video before I go to sleep, his cuteness calms me down hehe *blushing*
Favorite Musician:
- Just one?????? Ok, how about Paul McCartney? Or Elton John? Or John Lennon? Or Janis Joplin? Or Hall & Oates? Or The Police/ Sting? More???
Song stuck in my head:
- Me and my habit of changing a song and only after I hear it on somewhere, I end up liking it and hating myself for not having heard it before? It’s me with this song.
Help me, this is addictive.
Other blogs:
- @annalewis63 , my first blog (about The Police and stuff from the 80s), but currently I don’t use it that much.
Blog follow:
- Well, there are several, but what about the ones that tagged me here? They are of excellent quality.
Amount of sleep:
- In average of 6 to 7 hours of sleep, I hate sleeping early, I have the habid to sleep after my parents, the 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. Don’t do that, kids.
Lucky number:
- 18 ou 20!
What I’m wearing:
- A long white shirt that appears to be velvet, short denim shorts, barefoot.
Dream job:

Dream trip:
- There are so many places to discover (I’ve never traveled outside Brazil), I dream of going to many places, mainly London, Paris, Los Angeles and of course the Mayan place that is special for me, New York.
And if it’s still possible someday, the island of Montserrat! (let’s pretend it’s not because of the AIR studios…)
Favourite food:
- Lasagna Bolognese.
Do I play any instrument:

Favorite song:
- Only one??? You guys are evil.
But as I have no choice…
Random Fact:
- When I was in my “Black Sabbath/Guns ‘n Roses/ Heavy Metal” phase, at 13 or 14 year-old, I laugh at my dad for listening to “Paul McCartney’s sweet, silly love songs” and my dad just told me:
“Don’t laugh. You never know what you’ll be listening to tomorrow”
I didn’t care about what he said and here I am, listening to the same “sweet, silly love songs” EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. OF. MY. LIFE.
Always listen to your parents, they really are what they are saying….
Describe yourself in aesthetic things:
- I suck at this but I’ll try.
About fashion: puffy sleeves, long skirts, flowered shirts, bee prints or any other element that makes reference to nature.
I think I’m a mixture of many things (I’m very restless and fun), like: I can be like a big forest, so big that I can run through the expanse of a sunflower garden.
Ican lie on a lawn for hours looking up at the blue sky. I can ride a horse, run with him as far as the wind and my mind take me. I can be quiet and discreet, calmly appreciate everything around me. I can be smart and wise and silent as an empty library.
But I can also be buzzing enough to spend the night walking around Times Square. I like to discover new places, new people, new cultures, a new version of myself. I never sleep, like New York.
I might want my voice to be heard and I might want something so badly that I can do anything to get it, especially if that thing is for the good of everyone around me.
I’m happy, vibrant, fun and I will not let your sadness get the better of you. I’m light and relaxed like a day at the beach with the person you love.
I’m a mix of Wings’ “Back To The Egg”, Go Go’s “Talk Show”, John Lennon’s “Walls And Bridges” or maybe even the Beatles’ “Magical Mystery Tour” and Paul’s “McCartney II” , maybe the “Pipes Of Peace” even.
What can I say I can be retro and at the same time current. I can be myself in 6282836 different ways, and I like it.
Well, that’s it.
I feel like I’m on an MTV interview. Thanks!
I tag: @j-e-f-3-0 , @tuesdaysrequiem , @catinsatintrousers and everyone else who wants to do this.
@pauls-broken-a-glass65 Thanks for tagging me!!! And sorry for the delay I had to write all of this in notes cuz it wouldn't let me save the draft ;-;
Nickname
I have had many through the years. "Jim/Jime" was one my mom would use, and "Jiji" was used by my cousins and aunts.
Those are the ones that are meant to be pronounced in Spanish lol, cause later I also got to be named "Jim", "Jimmy", and even "Jef" as in the name Jeff, cause of my initials.
A certain @pauls-broken-a-glass65 was the only person that gave me a similar nickname as I gave her, which in this case was "Mrs. Summers". Just look into earlier posts from my blog and it will all make sense :)
Zodiac signs
okay so I got into this a lil more than before, and and if my data is correct, I am an Aquarius sun, loud and proud about it cause I am also a Leo rising and I make that my whole personality, plus I'm an Aries moon and it definitely doesn't help with my emotions being so on my sleeve. While I don't believe EVERYTHING horoscopes say, it's fun, and relatable lol so I enjoy it
Height
Ooo wait (searches cm to in) okay so I'm 162 cm, aka 5'3. Will make fun of myself for being short all my life; will also fight anyone who does it before me :) I lift harps so there's your warning
Last movie I saw
INDEPENDENCE DAYYYY I love it it's so blockbuster overdramatic yet it doesn't want to take itself seriously and it's corny and it's fun and it's just pure nineties perfection. It actually played with my emotions and I got to give it credit for that, plus Jeff Goldblum. Always a plus when Jeff Goldblum appears on screen. Plus they somehow made him ever better looking than in Jurassic Park. Like what else do you want
Last thing I googled:
La torre del Oro!! I am in Sevilla right now and I want to go inside to see the view from up there
Favorite musician:
Absolutely not. I refuse to give one answer only. The musician I'm most fixated on right now is Peter Gabriel. BUT! Other musicians that have my admiration and love for their music are; Sting, Genesis, Sade, The Police, David Bowie, U2, Andy Summers, Aurora, Yes, and Alan Parsons Project.
Song stuck in my head:
Damn it a hard one! I'm a musician and I have many songs stuck in my head. But one of the last ones that has been playing lately is San Jacinto by Peter Gabriel.
Other blogs: None im too chaotic not to put everything in the same blog
Blog follow: uuhhhhh @lovelymenza @pauls-broken-a-glass65 @lovely @petegabriel @caelorumspectatrix
Amount of sleep; when I'm at home I'm on a cycle in which I sleep up to 9 hours BUT STARTING AT 3 am so yes I am blessed to be able to wake up most days at midday and still are able to study everything. And then the days where I have to travel for classes, well, I'm happy if I sleep 3 hours on those :) balance is the key they say. Now that I'm away working it depends, I try not to sleep 6, cause it sucks. I'm lucky if I get 8
Lucky number: 3
What I'm wearing: WAIT IMMA CHANGE CLOTHES REAL QUICK- okay so I'm wearing my signature pajamas which is made of your usual 80's short shorts in white and a loose long sleeve muted lilac crop top that I myself cut for it to look better (it was a bit long for this short girl right here)
Dream job: I am already quite happy with my job which is occasionally playing at an orchestra, but my absolute dream job within music is to be a solo artist, and living by performing both classical and modern music. And write; write the music, the lyrics, and then record my songs playing and singing all by myself.
Dream trip; ooohh fun! I've been to a couple places already (London, LA, Buenos Aires, Italy, Switzerland, Paris, and Porto) but if I had to say off the top of my head... okay, a basic one is Greece, particularly Crete. Ireland!! Because of their harp culture and their beautiful landscapes. And then, I would love to see the island of Java, Myanmar, New Zealand, the more natural regions of China and India, and Brazil but the area closer to the Amazon river. With travel I'd really love to cultivate the idea of remembering that we are more than our careers and achievements and sometimes existing within nature is just as important, if not even more
Fave food: If I have to say one category, it's gonna be cookies; I love them in all shapes, sizes, flavours, and styles. Then I have a deep problem with frozen yogurt with toppings that usually involve some chocolate/nut spread. Also, IM OBSESSED with nuts I love them by themselves, in desserts, as ice cream flavors, AND NUT BUTTER--- UHM BAKLAVA??? OMG I just remembered. Curry. FUCKING CURRY THATS THE BEST THING TO EVER EXIST, the best sauce ever, combining the nut butter with coconut cream OMFG COCONUT LIKE THIS FRUIT?! It's amazing in EVERY SINGLE WAY like in a shake, by itself, shredded, EVEN AS FLOUR?! it makes for the perfect moist and naturally sweet cakes you'll ever make. OH AND ITS THE REASON PINA COLADA EVEN EXISTS.
So. Yeah I like many foods in the end I guess.
Do I play any instrument: baby do I NEED to play another instrument is the question. Okay I don't play that many, but my WHOLE LIFE has happened around ONE instrument, and that's the HARP. I live breathe and eat and drink in harp, I talk in harp and sleep and dream with harp (mostly dream about it tho). I also play the piano and I sing. But the harp has gotten so ingrained within my life and my personality I seriously believe I couldn't fully know who I am if I ever stop playing this instrument. That sounds scary. But that's the truth :)
Languages: Spanish and English, both too fluently so now I mix them all the time. Will learn more. I wanna learn Portuguese, French, and Greek. Will probably have to learn German too :') wish me luck
Fave song: AGAIN. do you even know who you're asking these-- okay. I refuse, so buckle up.
"In Your Eyes", "Mercy Street" and "San Jacinto" by Peter Gabriel, "The Wild Wild Sea" and "Why Should I Cry For You" by Sting, "Paradise" and "Pearls" by Sade, "To Be Alright" and "A Soul With No King" by Aurora, "Time" by Alan Parsons, "Bring On The Night", "Message In A Bottle" and "Walking On The Moon" by The Police. Just off the top of my head
Random fact: I really believe that no matter how many years pass I will never truly feel like an adult. I will become responsible and will have more and more things I will be able to achieve and also to mess up, and despite me taking them quite seriously, I think it's a bit pointless. Cause the world keeps turning no matter if I achieve everything or if I don't. So I'm tired of it and will keep feeling like a girl trying to make my way into the world.
Describe myself in aesthetic things:
Fast paced cinematic style montages. Getting drenched by the rain and acting like a kid again. Navy blue and white stripes. Blasting music to pretend you're in a movie. Staring out the car windows and having the wind make a mess out of your hair. Running through grassy cliffs with a long white flowy skirt.
The breathless satisfaction after walking up a mountain and watching the view for a long time. Light teal, cream, off white. The sound of sea foam when it brushes over the sand. Grainy pictures of grey days. Sun placed over your back, glittering the many blues of the sea; dusty fingers from looking through the record stores. Yoghurt flavoured ice cream. Late night deep talks
Pale pink, blue and lilac gradients. Tiny flower prints. Sweetheart, off the shoulder, Queen Anne necklines. Smelling into a bush of flowers. Having pictures of who you like on your nightstand. Pink pens writing poems in spare journal pages.
The adrenaline rush of having an idea at an ungodly hour of the night that will be quickly forgotten if it isn't written down fast. Voice memos for yourself on the street. The dizziness of spending hours in a row doing a mentally heavy task. The sheer joy of performing a piece/section/phrase and hearing it just the way you wanted, with every detail brought up to perfection. Seeing the stage from the side before coming in. Spotlights on your face. Gold accents in a dress. The sounds of cheers and applause. The inescapable smile that comes when you're performing and you KNOW you did something good. And making a stupid mistake right after and laughing at it in silence.
I love this. I could go on and on and on.
