Gay bars and crying Babies (!?!?!)

Hello all,
I´m a little sleepy while writing this, so pardon the lack of lucid thoughts.... Anyway, the reason I am so tired is because I have gone out for the last two nights and gotten home at about 4 AM. Thus, Chile has provided lots of good times and early mornings! But, nontheless, I have been having a blast and would gladly trade sleep for a fun conversation or dancing till dawn!
Tuesday night, I was sitting in my room (admittedly killing time on Facebook) and Camilo, this guy who lives in my house, popped his head into my room and with a grin said "CELINE! CARRETE!?" It was a Tuesday, and I didnt have much to do the next day (an English lesson at 11 and class at 330) so I said, "yea, po! Al tiro!". So, after some discussion about my dislike for weekly Reggaeton, we decided to go to a gay bar in Valpo where they play fun, danceable pop music. He had a girl friend who wanted to go as well, so we made some Piscolas and went off to Valpo to meet her. After circling Valpo for a while, we finally made it in, and boy was it a sight! Firstly, there were these manicans proped up at the bar, with ambiguous parts, and there were some silly wigs and other strange things as well. But not to be distracted from all of the homo-sexual humans making out and having a good time. I was dancing (obvo) and happened to be near this cute girl. As I was dancing, however, I think her Girlfriend got jelous or something because the next thing I knew they were making out and then fighting! huh, and there I was, just dancing...Anyway, the night passed and it was pretty fun (I met a girl from Argentina that told me that my Gemini and year of the Snake birth order was "dangerously powerful" -hahum).
Its funny how life works sometimes... Earlier on that day I had met up with a group from this class I´m in about Love and Sexuality, and we conversed about everything from homosexuality to porn to sex education. Then later on that night, before going out, Camilo and I had a very interesting conversation about sex vs. sexuality. He was coming from a more a-sexual point of view, and said that he just doesn´t have much interest in persuing SEX. I mean, we have these parts to pro-create, but maybe there are just some people who are not fit for that. Population control? who knows.
Anyway, the other day I was on the Metro and JUST made it, too. phewph. So I sat down, calmed down (it was a sprint to catch it, and the heat of the day made me perspire) and my ears were imediately flooded by this young boy (strapped in a stroler) who was just WAILING! I mean, Screaming and Crying as if something horrible was on its way out of him. At first it made me smile a little, because kids are just so funny in the way that they are constantly testing their vocal limits. So at firstI thought he was just experimenting with his vocal chords, but then after about 10 minutes of it, he just seemed truly miserable. Trying to squirm his way out of his confined situation, and just continuing to cry and cry. And the poor mother, she had seen it all before, just let him cry, let him squirm. After many failed attempts at putting a pasafire in his mouth, she just sort of gave up, like "yup, he´s crying, and will cry for a while...". I must say, I was definately glad to get off at my Recreo stop. Crying babies. hm. I wonder how many babies are crying right now? How funny that of all the crying babies in the world, this one just happened to be on the same metro at the same time as me. Well, there you go. I may have some kind of metaphor or something to draw from this, but it is burried in a pisco-covered fog at the moment. So, thanks for reading.
Chau chau!
