alright i messed up! and when i say messed up i mean really, really messed up! first thing i do not have a car yet so im still walking everywhere.I live in Essex county, new jersey. e.o. to be exact so i planed a round trip to my friend's house in o. I've been to that area many times and i've never remotely got lost but i was really hungry, Mistake#1 i spent my bus fare on a meal at Dunkin Doughnuts. after i ate i continued my walk to my friend's house but Mistake#2 i left my house keys at d.d.. so i went back to get them surprisingly they where still there.Mistake#3 there was allot of noise down the street,it was a football game,so i went and watch it. after it ended i started my trip again Mistake#4 i made a wrong turn into a place i never been to...so by now I'm A)broke B)sticky (from the doughnuts) C)in west orange (way of course) D)lost E)and its dark (hence the football game) Mistake#5 I KEEP GOING so now im really, really, lost and in south orange.by now im just plain mad,so i swallow my pride and ask for directions back home Mistake#6 i asked a guy from Canada which in retrospect wasn't a good idea in the first place he gave me directions into new york Mistake#7 I F****** followed them by now in currently in new york at a local Starbucks with my labtop on typing about my amazing journey now i must have cousin pick me up (hopefully they let me use their phone) so i was wondering has anyone ever got "this" lost before because i feel really stupid now

Um NO! When it was the summer before I started 3rd grade my dad retired from the military and we moved to a farm in Fayetteville AR. first day of school comes, I have never been off the farm since moving there, and my brothers and I get on the school bus to go to school....my brothers are 8 and 10 years older than me so in the afternoon I ride the bus home by myself without them. I have no idea where I live. the bus driver just keeps driving around asking me if anything looks familiar (we had to walk down our long driveway and up a hill to catch the bus in the first place and you couldn't see our house from the road). Finally I did get home but it taught me a valuable lesson...pay attention to your surroundings. I have never gotten lost since then.
