Ohh, this is going to be fun! And by fun, I mean, I'm pretty boring but I want to find out stuff about other people. LOL
My username comes from a Brazilian book Dom Casmurro. This book is about a man who is absolutely convinced his wife Capitu is cheating on him with his best friend, however, the book isn't about infidelity, it's about Bentinho (the main character) being jealous, distrustful and obsessive, with very little evidence that Capitu was ever unfaithful to him.
We never do find out for sure if Capitu cheated on him, she's in theory an exotic woman, with gypsy eyes who is tormented by the jealously of her husband.
However I picked the name because I love the name Capitu. I mean, I love the character, too, I do fell in love with her through the novel, but if she had been named something like... I don't know, Beatriz (a perfectly good name) I wouldn't have used it, you know? lol
I always thought that if I ever had a girl, I'd call her Capitu, and since later in my adulthood I realised that I didn't want to have children I decided to use it as my username when I was first invited to livejournal. :D
My default icon isn't me. :O People are always thinking that's me. It's not. When I went to my first (and only) Harry Potter convention (Terminus) and I introduced myself as capitu people said to me, hey, you're not your icon! Well, yeah, no, I'm not. I wish though. Isn't this woman lovely? I AM in love with this icon.
This icon was the first icon I got. The person who invited me to livejournal (back then you needed an invitation and a code) made me a beautiful layout and this icon (my name included because I never hid my real name) to go with it. I loved the woman in the icon, and I grew very fond of how it looks. I like the whiteness of it (and yeah, the ankles XD), and have been using it ever since.
Sometimes I feel, having my name on my icon, I'm saying, hey, that's me, and I'm lying, but then I think, other people have their username in plants and actors and stuff, and I think, maybe that notion is on my head. Anyway, I think my flist know me. I post pictures of myself, well, once in a while, so they know what I look like, strangers, well, I can honestly say I don't mind them thinking that's me. :D
The "Welcome to villa cariño" I have as my title is... it sounds rather like a cabana party. I like the idea. Villa Cariño is not a real place. But if it were, it's be carnaval all year round, and people would be dancing and having fun and celebrating all the time. (I can link you to what carnaval in my neck of the woods looks like, I have pictures!)
My header is...well. I made that header a while go. I have to say I'm never very happy with my headers. >.> But this one has been there for ages because, if I'm honest, even if I don't like the graphics I made for myself this one is special. I like the blue. I like the round shades; they remind me of Harry. The original picture isn't like that, it was in colour and I had a good time altering them to look like that. I like the quote and the Hallows symbol I have there. Magic is everywhere, you know? I believe that. :) I'm working on another layout with another header, but I'm very slow with my own stuff. I always get distracted by something better. Like a new fic, a new art, a post, and I'm like... Oh, SHINY! until I remember and keep on working on it. Heh.
That's a bit about me. As boring as you thought it was going to be like! LOL
But YOU! I did think you were OBSESSED about birds. XDXD And, hey, there's a bird who always visits my backyard, well, I think it's the same, I'm pretty sure it's the same, and she's (I think it's a she) is not afraid of me! The other day I was sitting out, drinking coffee and the thing came really close, less than a half a meter, looked at me, ate an ant and left. I thought of you. Lol
You know, if you ever want to change your layout, let me know! I mean, I can edit a layout for you if you have a graphic in mind. :) I did icmezzo and eidheann_writes and mine, of course, and my community, so, yeah, I can some do stuff. :D I'd love to make you a layout if you have time to browse about and tell me more or less how you'd like one. Think about it. This offer does not expire EVER. :D
