Thumbing it a few miles outside of Corsicana, Texas

A random post

Yeah, I know, I did just write yesterday (or was it the day before?).  But, it's not very often that I actually feel like writing, so I figure, hell, why not.  For starters, here's a brief recap of last night.  I went over to my friend Juan's house at about 11, where we planned to get some other guys together.  none of them ended up being available, so we ended up going to another kid's house.  Once there, since I knew no one, I was barraged with the usual questions for a good hour or two (do you like argentina? the girls? how long are you staying?)  also, for some reason there was asado and rice, and a lot of it, so I ate a good bit of that.  At some point, I went in to lay down, as I was feeling particularly lazy, and getting a little tired of the gazillion mosquitos outside.  I ended up falling asleep, and woke up maybe around 6 that morning.  I decided that it was probably a good idea to head home, as my family has a general "be back before 8am" policy.  Not knowing where I was, I walked in the general direction that I thought I should go.  I ended up walking on the highway for awhile (he apparently lived a ways out of town).  I arrived home at about 7, and went directly to bed.  I woke up at about 4:30 today, only to find a few interesting things;  for some reason, my legs felt like I had just run, REALLY far.  Also, my right palm is incredibly bruised, and I have a mysterious cut in my right ring finger.  Interesting.
                  On another note, I'm pretty psyched.  Tomorrow, I'm getting my brazillian visa, and it's recently come to my attention that my birthday is only about a month and a half away.  Once I'm 18, I can cross international borders by myself, so I can go to Cuidad del Este in Paraguay, and Foz do Iguaçu in Brazil.  My hostfamily has told me several times before that they would take me, but they never seem to get around to it.  Once I'm in either of these two cities (both are pretty big, I think Foz has about 100 or 150,000 people, and Ciudad del Este has 250,000) I figure I'll try my hand at busking, and see how that works out.  So, that's about it.
