See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Try this game

Fascinating.

I did pretty well on 1, not bad on 3 others, but was off by half the globe on the last one. Total points 9811.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My first guess--I said South America, but the answer was Australia. Second game, I said near Fort Stockton, and it was nearer Fort Smith. Only 800km the second time. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO PLAY. Or to navigate street view.

I got 9231 points. My first three guesses were all in the right country at least. Entirely the wrong continent on one guess.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, you want to feel like an idiot? Try this game: [link]

Yeah, I think the only ones where I was anywhere close, it was because there were signs.

I hate elementary school functions. They just prove I'm socially awkward and don't like large groups. Sigh.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I got two guesses on the right continent. I didn't realize until the third or fourth one that I could navigate the view if I wanted to, which certainly helped.

It'll be on it's way to you shortly, Cass. Yay, it's like I'm accomplishing something!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, when the game dumps me in downtown Boston, it's not so bad. Even I can put together those street signs and the area code. But it also landed me in Poland (I guessed Hungary), and single lane dusty roads out to the horizon can be, so far, Australia or South Africa. I have no idea why I got Texas right.

Mr. Peabody slipped out of his collar while we were just supposed to be getting the mail. He led me on a 40-minute chase that I was not in shape for. At the end, he ran home and ran inside. Little devil.

2nd try, 11140 points.

That site is going to turn into a serious timesuck for me.
