This afternoon when we had been in the country for 23.5 hours, I wrote a list of all the stupid and embarassing things I´d done: "...I was looking for the computers in the hostel, she asked me what I was looking for, I stared at her mutely for several seconds before answering evasively that I was just looking around. She sent someone to talk to me..." "...we sat in the wrong seats and fell asleep and a 12-year-old girl woke me, ´Dijame señor...´" Anyways, I feel better.
We´re in Mendoza tonight and tommorrow we go to Chile. The bus seats are so much more comfortable down here, six hours passes easilly. Tonight there was an oudoor concert and we bought food and lay down in the grass; Verano!
Red Eye Sight
Lights for the nights,
shades for the days.
What kind of mind
could do without these
amenities anyways?
I find I like light
strapped close to my mind.
Would my eyes die
if I did not regularize
the rays of the days?

Hace Calor
My friend bought an eight dollar bottle of water when we arrived in Prague eight years ago. But it didn't matter how many times I thought about how stupid that was, I still accidentally bought a five dollar pack of mints when I arrived in Buenos Aires this afternoon; and I was buying because I thought I needed more coins for the bus, but the guy told me he didn't have coins anyways. Once I got coins, I bought myself double bus fare because I misunderstood the price for two as the price for one. I feel like an idiot but it's only a matter of a few dollars.
Max and I are resting at a hostel in the city center. Tommorrow we start a multiday bus trip over the Andes into Chile. We have to come back through here for our return flight (whenever that may be) so we will get to see more of the city then; this is but a reassurance, I don't much care about seeing sights.

Out and Down
Gonna go take a peek at Argentina next week; gonna sneak out of here while the going's so weak. Gonna go to the country in the country of Chile; it's summer there so it shouldn't be chilly and it hopefully won't be as silly and frilly as Newton, Massachusetts. I won't be living with my folks again, so choose your bets: I might come to visit if you're still a friend.
Gonna live on the land and grow veggies by hand. Me and Max, we're gonna tax our backs up to but not past the point of breaking; forsaking the nation and higher education for aching and raking and distant communicating.
Taking a degree? Making a career? Shaking a hand out of nothing but fear? You won't find that here. You won't catch me taking responsibility.
And sorry if you were underneath when I dropped that beach ball. I took a pretty hard fall, and winter; like a sprinter in a 40k race I wasn't a winner, I could not do it all. And in an astounding about face, my pancreas would no longer keep pace.
Instead of psychosis I did my own diagnosis, I increased my dosage and got mail-order insulin without paying for postage. Now I break my skin ten times a day, but I no longer think of breaking myself away in some irretrievable way.
I'll be back again but I can't say when, until then.

Seriously
I've gotten back to everyone else; I'm really proud of myself.
Just you haven't heard from me; you should take it personally.

One way of being depressed is to develop juvenile diabetes without knowing it for a few months, feeling so terrible and lethargic that you stop going out, going to work, and calling your friends. Maybe not having blood sugars four to six times normal levels will make you snap out of it; or maybe you really are a terrible person. Either way, you're probably not even looking for english-speaking endocrinologists in Argentina.
