you're not from around these here parts, is ya?
it just happened again.
i lived in massachusetts for 27 years and in the last 7 months, i've been asked for long island directions more times than i ever was asked for directions in massachusetts. at least once a week, i'll either be called over to a car as i'm walking (don't worry mom - i'm careful not to get too close. "is that a three muskateers bar, sir? those are my favorite!") or someone will pull alongside me as i'm waiting in traffic and make the "roll down your window i gotta ask you something please" motion to me. it' s kinda funny because i do have roll windows. ever notice how the motion has not evolved in tandem with the automobile window? imagine if it had. i'm not sure i'd understand why some dude was staring at me while pointing his finger downwards furiously. anyway...
so yeah. i've been asked for directions to the airport, to the hospital, to the nearest bombshelter. well, not to the nearest bombshelter, but i'm sure that's coming soon. i always feel so stupid when i get asked where something is and i have no clue. of course, i really shouldn't feel stupid but it's hard not to when there's a whole car depending on you having top-notch knowledge of the whereabouts of any spot in the greater long island area.
i just had quiznos for lunch and it was gloriously tasty.
