Geographic Geekdom

Signs that you’re spending way too much time with your atlas:

• You have dreams about a military attack based from the island of Mauritius that encircled Australia and then went on to Greenland; or about living in Sarajevo, Bosnia; or about being in an Australian city where they spoke Korean; or an Egyptian-like religion stemming from an archipelago off the coast of Panama (funny how information gets all muddled in dreams =D).
• You meet a someone who says they’re from the town of Bozeman, Montana, and you know the exact place they’re talking about
• Your extended family refuses to play the “country game” with you anymore, because they never win
• Your atlas is the only present you can remember getting last Christmas
• At age 13 you could write out, in alphabetical order, from memory, all the countries in Africa, and later on the entire world (that one's particularly embarrassing-- I actually spent hours of my precious, pre-move prayer room time filling pages and pages full of lists of African nations in my journal. Dork...).

Sometimes I can't help but wonder what in the world I am going to be doing later on, and what exactly the purpose would be in me liking something so bizarre....*shakes head*. I am truly mystified.
