Hello everyone, I am frowning so badly that it feels like my face is going to slide right off my chin right now. I have been supposed to go to this screenwriter's meeting (every third Monday of the month) for two months now. I already missed one meeting cus I, not knowing at the time that MapQuest has gone to shit, used that program and ended up in all sorts of circles and getting lost. It took me to Highway 49 between South Carolina and North Carolina and screwed me up from there. This time I used GoogleMaps. I was doing good too. I made it all the way up the interstate to Billy Graham Parkway, to Tyvola Road past the Coliseum, then I saw my turn on West Tyvola and was in the wrong lane and could not take it, so I drove down and turned around at an apartment complex called Tyvola Centre. I backtracked and took the turn, only it wasn't the same turn I had missed, it was another between the apartments and the correct intersection. I ended up on Tryon, which was freakin' 49. 49 is like a road from the twilight zone. I turned around and tried to find Tyvola to turn back onto it, but it was nowhere to be seen. I couldn't find it. Could be because on 49 alot of the roads are marked under one name on one side of the sign, and as another on the other side of the sign. Same thing that screwed with my boyfriend's head when we were on that road on our way to Carowinds. But I never found Tyvola again. I kept going and ended up on 557, dipping me back into South Carolina and back on my way home, making me completely bypass every reason I was there in the first place. And I couldn't find Tyvola so I surrendered and went back home. I was frustrated to the point of tears by this stupid twilight zone road in this city that for some reason confuses me, must be because I am country-born. But next time, I will get there. I was nearly there this time. I am almost disgusted with myself about this. On Oct. 5, there are going to be a massive collective protest in most of the major cities of the US. I have signed a pledge to participate, and my nearest branch of The World Can't Wait, will be protesting in Charlotte, how can I stop just talking tough against my government, and get off my ass, and have the right to say I am fighting for something, and that I am an activist, if I'm not going to be able to follow the directions to get to the protest. Though protests never work, I still have to do this, for my own self-respect, can't keep talking, I must do. Practice what I preach. Nothing short of investing in a revolution or a passport/Visa is going to save Americans now. But...doesn't hurt to try.
