room service and Nightmare Before Christmas made me feel better. now im drunk with tiredness, and i dont want to go to the bar because my parents are there. which is fine, i shouldn't drink by myself in a bar that doesn't speak english. i'd get too freaked out. tomorrow we're going on a train to see the vinyards where Grahams grows their vintage

in portugal or espana?
i've been told, "you can't will your cunt wet." i think it applies here but i don't quite know how.
and yes, i found it interesting.

in portugal, we were only in spain for the first three or four days, then we're headed to san sabastian (spain) in two days for the rest of the trip. oh please chris, please tell me what im doing wrong, because i definitely want to know what you think is the correct way.

[ezr_2stalk_wlj]

san sabastian is not spain, its basque.
and no, you don't want told anything... you're an american, none of you can be told a god damned thing. enjoy your tourist sites, movies and a motel a day.

San Sabastian is basque country yes.... still happens to be in spain. Youre American too you bastard, quit the pretentiousness and be nice for once, jesus h. christ. We have seen many touristy things, yes, as well as local things. Yes, most the spainards hate us, but its not changing my experiance much. and i can be told a damn thing if you do it nicely and not sound like a fucking know-it-all and tell me im "doing it all wrong." Have a nice day.

i like how the tone of that started...
nice and patient; an explanation of sorts. then you went and got yourself all worked up and it changes in the course of six sentences.
i could never enjoy going to a country and not getting to know people who lived there... and i was rarely, if ever, seen as an american when in europe.
and i'm not goood at nicities... outgrew it in highschool. sorry.

thats usually how are conversations go. I like how you say i was the one getting worked up. i think it was more me being cynical. especially when youre being pretentious. I have met some wonderful people, and many of them say i didnt look or act american, but of course spoke like one. oh well. Even though many dont see you as an american doesnt mean you arent one and you shouldnt talk down on people so quickly. nicities are rare in you, i know.

i would say:
people who said such a thing to you were obviously just trying to sleep with you...
but i won't, because i am nice.
i would say:
i am no more an american than i am a spaniard; i am a student of the world and the only one in this palaver willing to learn anything at every oppurtunity i throw myself into.
but i won't because i'm not being pretentious this comment.
what i am going to say:
i am a student of Diogenes; when i see someone squandering an oppurtunity it hurts my sensibility of what i think people should be.
and that is all.

[matador_mantra]

you would say.... and you did. how do you know im "sqaundering an oppurtinity" if you arent here to whitness it. you have no idea. you have no constructive critizism, only negetive. that is why i have no interest in what you think about my travles. if you were to give advice rather than be you.... oh nevermind its useless trying to tell you anything, because you already know everything even though youre "willing to learn anything at every oppurtunity." or... no... you didnt "say" that. ENOUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
