Whatever, Let's Have A Goddamn Blog Thread, But Try And Keep It Reasonable
Lunchbox:
The cute beardy guy squinted as he handed over the money for his coffee. "Hey," he said slowly. "I know you. Don't you have a Flickr?"
"Oh." I blinked. "Y..yes...."
He grinned.
I twigged. "Oh! You must be in the Newcastle Hunter Valley group!"
"I just joined... had a quick look around." He couldn't believe it any more than I could.
"You really should... you really should come to one of our meetups," I blurted, filling the milk jug and calibrating the steam wand. The slight screech evened out to a steady swooshing as the full cream foamed. "They're a great bunch of people, our next meet is a sunset - I mean sunrise, on the 21st. Or. I forget. It's a Sunday. BBQ breakfast and champagne. They're a great bunch of people, fantastic."
I poured the milk evenly, swooshing a big love heart into the crema, popped a lid on and passed the coffee over. "Here's your flat white. Thanks!"
He bit his lip and smiled a sideways smile as he sauntered out of the shop.
Lunchbox:
Don't laugh, dude. I just about died on the spot.
Rolling20s:
Wow, do I need a new job. Had a paycheck shorted by mistake a few weeks ago. The owner gave me another check to make up the shortfall and that check bounced. :-o
Sort of the icing on a rotting cake, if you get my drift. So I'm looking around for something else. 9-5 is good for me, and a little more pay wouldn't be bad. Anyway, I'm sick of retail, I know that much.

the theme of the week here in guelph has been "sunny with spontaneous thunderstorms". i haven't formed an opinion on it yet.
the one i remember most took place on monday, really suddenly. for the duration of the day it had been absolutely clear and sunny. i have these two friends that i walk home with from work every day, and as we left the university this huge black cloud very suddenly ascended in the shape of a massive tunnel and i remember thinking "oh that's so pretty" followed immediately by "hey, i bet this is the sort of thing people see and think right before they die." not even five seconds after that thought crossed my mind there were these blinding flashes of lighting one after another followed by thunder so loud i thought my ears were going to explode and the sky completely opened up with rain and hail everywhere. we were somewhere in the middle of the road at this point and ran into the nearest building, a food bank, pounding on the door and screaming for someone to let us in. luckily the storm lasted only about half an hour and immediately after the sky cleared up and it was as though nothing had happened. really amazing.
the other thing that may or may not make this story more depressing was that the first thing i did when it started raining, without thinking, was take off my sweater and wrap my ipod in it because i was more concerned with the well-being of my ipod than myself. i'm kind of poor so maybe that makes sense.
