Lost Time

[poliphilo]

cmcmck   has a meme that's proving popular.  I'm tempted to have a go but too many of the questions are about things that happen in one's teenage years and my answer to a lot of them would have to be, "Actually, I don't remember."

Have I ever been lost? I suppose I must have been. But I can't supply instances.

I dreamed about being a teenager last night. I was starting my final year at school and sitting on a high wall  thinking, "This is silly. I'm blowed if I'm going to sit exams," when a girl came and sat beside me and asked me what I'd done with my life and I skipped forward a few decades and said, "Well, I'm married and I've run a coven."

Well, speaking as one quite capable of getting lost in her own back yard............:o)

We got stuck in the East End one time- going round and round in circles- but that came of trusting a satellite guidance system.

I got lost in New York City when I was a junior in high school. I had been at a youth peace rally at the UN and got behind my group. Thought I was following a guy from our group back to the hotel but ended up god knows where. Fortunately, I was able to retrace my route to the UN and then headed back to the hotel.

I've always felt lucky that I didn't get totally lost as I am sure I wouldn't remember the name of the hotel.

Scary--but I didn't panic. I was much more invulnerable in those days than I am now.

I'm much more of a fraidy-cat now than I was as a kid.
