I live on the south coast of England and grew up fishing, catching, gutting, cooking my own fish. I'm self-reliant, have always been relatively independent, but suffer from a classic case of female-related direction sense deprivation. I get lost. I get lost a LOT. I can travel the same route repeatedly, it takes the twelfth time of me doing it before it sinks in that I actually KNOW where I am, and then, I turn a corner and freak b/c it's 'different'. I can make pancakes, I certainly do not pee on my own (I like peeing on other people's though, just not in Waffle Houses when anyone's looking and provided I found my way there in the first instance) but when it comes to a sense of direction I'm clueless. I can look at a map, plot my route, know exactly where I'm supposed to be going, but when I start my journey there it's nothing like the map! WTF is that all about, eh? Why can't the ordinance people make maps that LOOK like the places a person is visiting, rather like a pop up version of the A to Z. Needless to say. I don't drive. I'd never get anywhere even if I did drive, and if I did get somewhere, the likeliness of me getting home again are remote. Online shopping is wonderful! Off to pee in the shower...
