Still waiting for my compass to speak to me. How long does it take to get up the nerve to speak to me? Is my compass deaf and dumb? Will my compass say "hey" or am I waiting in vain. It's been 3 weeks and this stupid deaf and dumb compass just sits there taunting me with it's face. Maybe my compass is dead and should be buried? Do compasses sleep? It's winter so maybe my compass in hibernating? Please Forrest Gump, reply, I'm worried about my compass.
