it's been years since i had a compass. when i started 365 my then backpack had a little compass attached to it. but it was quite difficult to use because i couldn't see which direction i was going the backpack being behind me. in grade school, i had a compass and i liked carrying it because it tells me which direction i was going, although i knew where i was always going. i liked having it because the south arrow had a parenthesied note "doom" and the north "heaven" -- a catholic must've made it. i forgot what had happened to it. in all likelihood one of my siblings must've taken it.
