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

I totally understand where you are coming from. I still struggle to make small talk on a daily basis. Most of the time I really don't care how peoples weekends were. ;)

[brynnmck]

Heeee. I actually do care, or at least I don't NOT care, I just... psych myself out, and then later I think of a million questions I could've asked. It's so lame!

I think it totally is a case of "fake it 'til you make it," and I had to learn that right quick when working around thousands (no, really, THOUSANDS) of people prettier than I am. In retrospect, it helped that I didn't have a choice. Hey, when are you coming to Chicago?

[brynnmck]

Was this when you lived in LA? LA seems like the devil from that perspective.

I would LOVE to come to Chicago. And a couple of my cousins were just talking about the possibility of a meetup there sometime in the next year... so if that actually comes together, I will DEFINITELY let you know. In the meantime, Seattle is lovely in the fall!

I have a kink for charming people-people using their powers on each other.

HA HA, YES. it's SO fascinating to watch. it's like they're thinking, "what do i DO with someone who already KNOWS what's behind the curtain on my special superpower?" HI. LEVEL PLAYING FIELDS ARE EXTRA FUN. also, IDEK why, but i find it amusing that they BOTH have EYES tattooed on the insides of their wrists. WUT?

UM. your gif-spam is CONFUSING MY BRAIN. it's like, HOLY FU-, AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. alsdflaksdjflkajsdlfkjalsdkfjalskdfjaksdf

PS. slightly OT, but how much are kris and d.cook's guitarist made for each other? i think my favorite thing about this video is the fact that kris plants himself in the far corner and just dances around him. 3:38 is my favorite moment of that.

PPS. you may also need this. i wasn't sure about it at first, but it wraps up PERFECTLY. ♥

*stare and stares at the gifs* Really, WHY do more people not write about those boys having a public sex kink again? <3

[brynnmck]

Ooooh! That is a REALLY GOOD QUESTION.

Hey, since you guys are going to see Kane -- my friend Tina is also apparently going, by herself since all of us are at VVC. Do you think I could tell her to look for you guys and maybe give her a little sistahood there? I'm afraid it will be sad for her to be by her lonesome. She is well trained and also an awesome photographer so if you take pity on her, she could possibly repay you in pics.

[brynnmck]

Yes, sure, it would be fun to meet up with her! Do you want to send me her contact info, or do you want to send her mine, or...?
