I can find my place easily on those maps, but they tell me that my parent's home does not exist. It's sad, really.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I think you people who are spotting actual places on that google thing either have much bigger monitor screens or much better eyesight than I. Both of which are entirely believable, so I won't even open the door into everyone-in-the-internets-is-pulling-my-leg-land.
You did notice you can zoom in on the picture, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
bigger monitor screens or much better eyesight than I.
Ah-ha! That must be it. On the closest zoom, I can see buildings, but that's it.
Suddenly, I have Too Much Paying Work. What is that about? Good thing I've been so lazy today -- turns out, it's my only chance all week!!1!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I can pick out my parents' house because they're on a curved street, but trying to find my apartment is pretty hopeless.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Google has some pay program that allows you to zoom much closer. I was pretty sure I could see one of my cars (but the car was partially under a tree, so I could not be certain).

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yeah, I can't see my building in the map very well, either. But those are some hi-res pictures, man. And you know that the govt is keeping you from zooming closer.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Up with the sun
The only truly gross thing about them is those fecking women who SQUAT and SPRINLKE and then LEAVE IT THERE.
I KNOW! And then the next person to enter the stall has a choice between cleaning up your pee with her hands, or sitting in it and quite possibly carrying it around on her thigh all day. (Or, finding another stall, but half the time that's not an option.) I don't like the toilet paper seat covers, but that's the one circumstance where I'm grateful for their existance.
I have never tried a squat toilet, and do not plan to anytime soon, thankyouverymuch.
