DC Area Map Drawing Contest

Not really a contest. More of a "let's step inside Jenn's brain, shall we?" non-contest.  Jenn is an undisputed excellent driver. She has spiderman reflexes and a keen ability to maneuver any vehicle in any situation day/night drunk/sober here/there/everywhere. However, Jenn has no idea what direction she is facing at any given point in time. If you ask her to point to where she is on a map, she gets flustered and defensive and sweaty. So naturally, I get a huge kick out of any Jenn/map combo situation. My favorite thing is having her explain to me exactly where she thinks things are in relation to each other. To illustrate, and for my own amusement, I asked Jenn to draw a map of the DC metro area.

Erica's DC


I'm pretty sure spiderman has good reflexes.

    Spider-Man's agility and reflexes are far superior to those of an ordinary human, even those that represent the peak of human conditioning such as Captain America. The speed of his reflexes combined with his spider-sense allows him to dodge almost any attack, even gunfire at point blank.

    I am late to reading this amazing blog post. It makes me simultaneously want to cradle Jenn's head and stroke her hair saying, "There, there, geography isn't that important," and also to point and laugh uncontrollably.

    Really, just excellent.
