We go to a Norms in Costa Mesa after anime club meetings (which I'll likely have to skip from now on for financial reasons; see above entry). It's the only place open that late that's worth eating at. Anyway, I've driven there and back multiple times, but I must have been extra sleepy or something tonight, because I took the wrong exit off the 73 and wound up lost in San Joaquin Hills for about 40 minutes. Past midnight.
At this point I became glad I was a guy, for two reasons:
1) To hear
ren_narf talk, it can be very unnerving to be a female in unfamiliar territory at night.
2) It's nearly impossible to find an open business in a largely residential area at that hour. Which translates to "an open bathroom."
After finding a secluded dark area and watering some bushes (*cough*), I found some guys making a late-night delivery or something and one of them was able to point me in the direction of the campus. Thankfully, my sense of direction hadn't failed me completely, and I was actually within a block of a street that went straight through to the right area. But I probably would have missed it if I hadn't asked, so thanks, nameless dude!
