clearly this is why they call it "charm city"...

I just returned to baltimore after a 10 day trip. within minutes of arriving i was reminded of how...umm... unique this city is.

first it was the man running the taxi stand, who said, "hey girl, where are you headed? oh wait... it MUST be GORGEOUSVILLE! that's right. you just gorgeous, baby." yeah. um thanks? (also, pretty sure he never waited for me to give a real answer to that question... so, good work doing your job dude. that must be why you rake in the big bucks*).

after that, i got in a cab where my cab driver proceeds to tell me that i look "so fresh!" to which he then added: "you couldn't possibly have travelled far because no one looks THAT FRESH after a flight!" i am still not sure whether it was the greasy bangs stuck to my forehead or the dog fur covering my cardigan that made me look 'so fresh'.

but you've got to hand it to baltimorean men, who would probably compliment a discarded coffee cup on it's shapely backside if they encountered one on the street...

oh home sweet charm city.

"damn... you got curves in all the right places."

*i feel it is not offensive for me to make fun of his minimum wage salary, given that i make -$18,000 a year.
