Sorrow’s America: The Most Troublesome Map

this map has caused all sorts of problems for me. i have this ex-boyfriend who was dating a girl who really hates me and they broke up and even though ex and i hadn’t talked in a while i wanted to somehow light-heartedly show that i was still around if he wanted to hang out or needed a friend. but i guess “you live at the ymca” isn’t considered a lighthearted joke if it’s anywhere approaching the truth, and the girl spent an entire evening at a party ignoring me to lead up to, on her way out, whispering caustically in my ear: “i heard what you told jason”–BIG PAUSE–”and i think it’s really fucked up.” what, did a magical key kill his parents?

additionally, if i had a time machine, i’d go back in time and take my cell phone number off of it before it was featured on motherfucking boingboing: www.boingboing.net/2008/08/03/handdrawn-map-archiv.html
