Have you ever lost your way?

Big cities can be daunting if you don't know your way or if you don't speak the language. Sometimes when you're new to town, you cling to a map and if there's a good metro system, to the subway/train map in particular.

Or if you're VERY insecure you take it to an extreme and have the metro stops tattooed into your hide "backwards" and bring a mirror with you.

However, I find it easier to chart my course simply by looking at the station chart of the Washington DC Metro System if I want to know where to get off, or where to change trains.

Seriously? Now THAT is a fan of the Metro system.

Whoa. Don't maps change over time?

Opus #6 - I think you could have laser removal and re-tattoo if they added or changed something in the Metro - couldn't you?

Stephanie - you'd have to love riding the Metro, wouldn't you?

Teresa said...

LMAO That really goes to the extreme, in having easy access to the information. She must really love riding the Metro. I've been there many times and the Metro leaves something to be desired.

Then again maybe you're not from the US - you're lost in Washington DC, it's a rainy night. You're confused (stranger in a strange land) and ask HER for directions...

And Zap! You discover that America is a much more friendly country than you ever thought it was.

I can't even imagine that there is a color of hair to go with that map! Seriously do they make drugs that good out there these days? I can't even begin to imagine coming down from a trip to see where the next trip would be on my navel!

LL the very first comment you ever left on my blog comes to mind right about now... You're funny! lol

LL said...

Darlin, if there are drugs that good, I don't ever want to try them.

Nor do I LL. Can you imagine this skinny little thing putting on 100 lbs and getting stretch marks... oh my goodness! Major disaster in her future should this happen!

If she got pregnant - would it lead to an expansion in the subway system? Does art imitate life or is it the other way around?

Submitted for your approval - As the girl's waistline expands the subway system mysteriously grows.

You're travelling through another dimension. A dimension, not only of sight and sound, but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone!
