Except instead of running from my woman, I'm running from my roommates.

That came out wrong. I'm not running away, per se. My roommates aren't bad people. We're all friends here. But sometimes I cannot stand to be in the house. After a day of classes and rehearsal, I need to be antisocial for a bit. So I got in my car and got lost in Pittsburgh for the better part of an hour.

I drove around and made a wrong turn and then I knew exactly where I was. I hate that. On the one hand, it helps me understand the city better. I can relate where I'm going to where I've been. On the other hand, it means the adventure is over. I'm no longer lost. Anywhere I go from there will be tainted with the knowledge of my general whereabouts. A good driving adventure has to last more than 40 minutes. I'll try again later in the week when I can afford another tank of gas.

Such is my thankless existence.
