A few images or texts I either really liked or that I'm wishing to use for future reference and stuff. Trust me, I won't randomly favourite anything on the front page. If I have faved your picture, be sure I absolutely adore it!

Dearest watchers and friends,
I'm currently living in Oxford at the moment and taking a huge amount of photos pretty much every day. We had some lovely weather on the first three days, but now it's mostly rainy and cloudy. Hopefully this will change again soon. We have been visiting colleges, churches, gardens, all sorts of places, so expect lots of uploads this week or the next!
The Russia and Poland trip is most likely cancelled, since we had to rent a very expensive apartment here - it was the only one available during the time of our stay, but it's also really lovely and comfortable -, but Paris is still in our plans. Cambridge (particularly for the Shakespeare Festival which I attended two years ago), Statford upon Avon and Warwick are a few of the other places we have decided to visit, provided everything goes as planned... And London, obviously, but that doesn't require much planning at all.
We have purchased tickets to attend the History Live! 2013 event in Northampton in July. It's still a long way away but I am really excited.
I am done uploading a few of my sample shots from my portrait lighting course in March, some of which are featured at the end of this journal entry. You can find more of my photography on my facebook page, including images which haven't been uploaded to dA yet and others that never will be...
Life has been fantastic (sounds like I'm always saying it, which I guess is good and indicates I have a very positive attitude towards pretty much everything) and I hope all my watchers are great as well. Has anyone else started planning their Summer vacations? What are you planning on? I could always do with more ideas. :D
Sorry for the long read!
- Amalia

Urban dictionary: Amalia
When someone is so pretty and smart.
e.g. That girl over there is such an amalia I can't believe it.
(You gotta love that website.)


Nice to meet you. I go by Amalia. It is pronounced ah-mah-lee-uh.
You may call me Aia, Amie, Ama, Lia or Wingy, however.
I am an aquarian. Not that I believe that stuff anyway. I was born on the 18th February 1994.
I am a radical atheist, and people need to learn to deal with that. There are too many prejudiced people out there.
I live in Brazil but I can fluently speak English and Spanish. My first language is Portuguese.

No, you don't find crocodiles walking around the streets in cities here.
I'm pretty sure we ride monkeys to school here either. =P
Yes, here the temperatures are always between 20 and 45 celsius. This is equivalent to 68 up to 113 farenheight.

My favourite foods include pistacchio ice cream, white, milk, dark or mixed chocolate, pasta (especially rigatone with four cheese or vodka - mmmm, bacon - sauce), pizza and cocada (a Brazilian coconut-and-condensed-milk sweet).
...Anything involving chocolate, bacon or cheese is usually great too. My favourite cheese is gorgonzola. I love gastronomy.
I own a small baking business with a friend, called Zucchero (click "Zucchero" to be redirected to our website in Portuguese, if you like).

I absolutely adore poetry.
My favourite poet is Edgar Allan Poe. I know Annabel Lee by heart. My favourite author is JRR Tolkien. He wrote The Lord of the Rings. I am obsessed about LoTR.

My hobbies besides photographing, bird-watching, reading, eating and sleeping include writing, drawing and just being goofy. I laugh too much for my own sake.
I am a proud owner of two beautiful golden retrievers, Abott and Avalon. Avalon is a soon-to-be show dog and has a website here. One day I will get myself a few border collies and australian shepherds and breed them. It's a plan for the future, though. For now, just my golden retrievers will have to do.

I have many other pets. I have a female parrot named Lani.
She is an orange-winged amazon parrot, or Amazona amazonica. Her name means flower in hawaian. It was supposed to be Lancelot, until we discovered 'he' was a 'she'.
I have a few cockatiels, including a tame white-faced pied grey male, Kartik. I once owned a lovely sun conure named Tinúviel. Tinúviel is the elvish word for nightingale. She flew away and never came back, exactly like Sam, my other conure.
I own an aquatic turtle named Zene. Zene is beautiful in an African language.

I love languages. I wish to learn Latin. I also want to learn Italian, Old Greek and German.

I wish I could speak elvish fluently. I would like to be an elf.
If I could choose to be another animal, I would be a wolf.
I am a role player, and I love role playing wolves.

My favourite colour is green. I want to become a biologist, specialized in animal behaviour, and move to England for college.

Well, now you know enough about me. Go check out my art!
