Oh So Lost

In Acting, Being a Woman, Personal on September 1, 2008 at 12:31 am

Beverly has about as much of a sense of direction as:

A blindfolded cow
A sunflower in the dark
A deaf bat
A flock of Canadian geese that can spell letters other than “V”
A compass on an electromagnet
A bloodhound with a cold
A bee on fermented fruit juice
Fingernail clippings
A ping pong ball with backspin
Dory the fish

Coming home from Richmond in a car tonight after being on set for 14+ hours on the Fairchild TV special “Silence No More” about sexual abuse, I managed to get over the Queensborough Bridge alright. And then, I got lost. Very lost. VERY lost. I can’t tell the difference between streets and avenues in New Westminster. So I kept on driving. Couldn’t find Columbia Street for the life of me. Guess where I ended up?

CITY IN THE PARK. that big development of condos that went up a few years ago near Edmonds Skytrain Station. You know, the one with its own Choices Market??

I’m as bad as any man. I didn’t stop to ask for directions. Besides, there weren’t any suitable places to ask for directions! I was in the middle of nowhere…and I kept wandering into residential areas. I ended up consulting this map that i happened to have in my car. lucky. but the lightbulb in my car interior was burnt out because i recently drained my battery by improperly closing my trunk before leaving on a vacation. But i had a flashlight on my keychain. lucky.

I have about as much sense of direction as … ST Voyager in the Delta Quadrant. All I knew was that I had to get home.

1:22am, home safe and sound. At last. Oh man. I got up at 6:30am yesterday too! WIPED.
