It's a little trivial! Would you also promise to be extra nice to everyone for a while? 
Well, yes, that was a terrible way to start, but hey! I came here to make amends and tell what I've done that makes me happy. Here I bring two different stories.
First one...
Involves a russian girl I met at a party, almost a month ago. While she was kind of spaced-out and couldn't articulate a decent, long-standing conversation, she told me about a documentary she was recording about weird street people of Bogotá, Colombia (which is where I live), so, we agreed to exchange phone numbers and talk about it anytime soon. Soon after that, and during an uneventful wednesday, I volunteered myself to show her my neighborhood and act like a guide of sorts, while they were looking for interesting subjects and locales. She was with a friend from Cleveland, we talked about movies and stuff, which was good. Later that day, I invited them to my house and offered them lunch and some coffee afterwards (maybe you've heard something about colombian coffee) and then I began asking again about their documentary. It happened that they had a few interviews done by other people, but their subjects spoke slang-heavy spanish, so they both were unable to understand. I offered myself to translate their interviews and help them with related localization stuff, free of charge, so their documentary gets finished.
The second one...
Is about a guy I wholeheartedly despise, I often see him at college and we're pursuing the same career, so it's also some kind of (delusional) rivalry, but we're not at the same year; and just recently I realized we were share a couple of classes this semester. During a Cinema History class, he noticed that I had plans to research about colombian animation (or at least how few examples of it currently exist) and that same day, there was a publishing event at a local film center, coincidentially about a book on animation recently made here. It was a dumb stroke of luck for me, and while he was really interested and eager to go there and claim a book for himself (he also works on animation), this guy was unable to attend due to work-related stuff. He asked me if I was going, and I (somehow) told him that I could fetch a copy for him, given that it's kind of free. Haven't seen him since, two weeks ago, but I still keep the two books, in case we meet again.
Hoping to fare better with this (and to show you the results of these two endeavours) I would kindly ask
again, sorry for my previous request, Warhammer 40.000: Dawn of War, and also Spec Ops: The Line, pretty please. If there's a limit right now for requests, then I understand. But might come again for it (: have heard good stuff about the latter and would love to check and review. If anything, my Steam username is
Valtam.
As an additional note, I have an older sister, and right now, she's undergoing a lot of preparations for an elbow surgery that might radically alter her lifestyle. It will happen around September's third week, but I'm already securing timeslots to accompany her in the following weeks, acting like her right hand so she won't have to lift a finger (and best for her to not do it! That would entirely ruin recovery).
Hoping for the best, and once again, thanks for this chance, Anvilfolk.
