Coffee Talk


Everyday i drink coffee. Not particularly because i like the taste (which i do) or tearing sugar packets and shaking it in my drink (which i do) or that the first sip is always the best part of morning (which it is). But i need the caffeine to work, go to class, study and write long ass papers about Masculine roles in Shakespeare.


Even though i have coffee in my room, i still go to Starbucks everyday while i am at work. Coffee and a muffin are what get me through the day. It's a self serving coffee place so i just hand the lady my card, get my receipt and the get CAFE VERONA everyday.


Yesterday while i was pouring the coffee in my drink i noticed that i always get CAFE VERONA which is described as "sweet & complex". I thought this was the funniest thing, like "hey look at me drinking a coffee that pretty much describes my personality". The other coffee's have descriptions like mild, vibrant and cultural, lively and well balanced. As i was pouring sweet and complex into my cup, i started regretting being sweet and complex. I am trying to get to a point where i am lively and well balanced, the part of me which anxiety hides.


Sweet and Complex is cool and all but sometimes i want to try out what Lively and Well-Balanced feels like or at least what it tastes like.


After a late night of writing and drinking some Sweet and Complex, which i brought back to my dorm, i woke up determined to try out some Lively and Well balanced when i got to work today.


And lets just say....a war is now going on in my stomach. Sweet has got Lively in a motherf*cking choke-hold and Well balanced is stomping all over Complex's ass.


Lesson of the day, don't try to mix the two, for stomach ache will soon follow.

oh dear!
i really would not take coffee flavor descriptions to heart like that (but then, i think coffee is horrifyingly repulsive).

and wtf is "vibrant and cultural"?

i recommend looking at pictures of kittens to make you feel better. cuteoverload.com is always a safe bet.
