Possibly I just have a thing for baristas

[brynnmck]

On the way to the dog park today, I stopped to get coffee at my usual little coffee shack. I hadn't been there in quite a while, but I had a full punch card good for a free latte, so I figured why not. The barista was the Cute Young Barista type common to Seattle-area coffee shops, and as she made my latte, she asked me how my day was going with

AHAHA OH ADAM ILUSM.

I love how he's handling the mike stand like he's not used to having something that small in his hand. *cackles*

[brynnmck]

HEEEEEE.

[adafrog]

Yay free coffee!

[brynnmck]

I'm a fan!

That Kris/ Piano GIF, not getting any less pornographic with repeated views :D

(Also, Adam, but there's still something about him that sets off proximity alarms that make it difficult to look directly at him. I'm not saying he's not awesome, but, if we suddenly discover he's actually an alien from the planet Fabularion, sent here to spread the alien queer glitter agenda, I will be the one person it does not surprise.)

The NW wins at cute barristas of all genders. If I wasn't so damn shy, I'd likely enjoy it more.

(see you next weekend!)

It is SO SUPER PORNY. SRSLY, KRISTOPHER.

And hee! Considering that Adam's own brother referred to him as a glittery alien from the planet Fierce, I actually doubt you'd get much argument with your theory. *g* (Offstage!Adam seems ENTIRELY human and sweet and endearing, too, which makes onstage!Adam's otherwordliness even harder to wrap my head around. Glittery! Alien!)

It's SO TRUE. And they always seem to be having so much fun! I dig it. :)

KANE EEEEEEE! I AM SO EXCITED. (Are we all set for plans? I've been talking to Z, and kind of assuming she's been in contact with you, but if we need to iron out further, let me know!)

I have been reading the Kradam fic *shakes fist at you and Z. Do you have any idea how much SPN and dS fic I have open in tabs that is being ignored for AI RPS!?* and I like him JUST FINE in fic - fun and totally human. But then I actually see him, and yeah, not getting it...

\KANE/

I was actually just going to send you an email to see if there was anything you needed/ wanted to know anything else - I think it's mostly a "show up whenever and we'll figure it out" thing?.

If we want to actually get a table in that bar, we''ll want to be in line a bit before they open the doors @ 8.

(Also, food?)

It's a skill I envy so much, that ability to connect with people so easily, to give them the gift of being interested in them, even just for a few seconds. I love people, but I don't have the confidence to assume they're going to like me, which I think is the key ingredient here.

yes omg i feel exactly the same way! this is part of what's behind my "what would hugh dillon do?" self-improvement campaign.

[brynnmck]

YES. EXACTLY. Hugh is AWESOME at this. Really, "WWHDD?" is a surprisingly helpful question in MANY situations.

I keep meaning to tell you - that little drive-up coffee place by my house is hiring! And, yes, it appears that being attractive and dressed to kill is more common there. AHH and I always look when we drive by. Hee.

[brynnmck]

HEE. The thing is, there's another coffee shack not far from your house where they actually DO advertise their baristas being scantily clad. (And then there's another coffee shack like a block away that always has fuck-you-whores slogans like, "No great bikinis, just great beans" or whatever. COFFEE SHACK WAR.) So I'm surprised that place doesn't advertise, if that's their thing!

IDK, man, SOMETIMES I JUST WANT A LATTE. (And I DO really REALLY appreciate hot baristas, I just like to maintain the fiction that being good eye candy is not actually a vital part of their jobs. Heh.)
