Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Slap my hand NOW!

But I'm a friend to the coffee drinker because, despite not being able to put it in my mouth, I do love the smell. A bf once sprinkled hazelnut roast in the floorboards of my car because the smell made me so orgasmic.

No logic. Just fact.

fancy save-the-world, cruelty-free, leash-walked bottled water

FanTAStic phrasing!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I know if only I could drink coffee, I might consider myself an adult.

I dunno -- I've been drinking the stuff for years, and the adulthood thing has yet to kick in.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

On The List:

  • my professor, who has not emailed paper topics like he said he would
  • the sun streaming in and hitting my monitor
  • people in the conference room NOT BEING DONE with their meeting so I may scavenge leftover sandwiches and cookies! I'm dying here!

I just don't know how to frame the counter argument or what to even suggest.

You could try something like "I received your notice that you wish to raise the rent to $X, effective January 1. However, this amount is a huge increase, and more than I believe that market warrants. I would be amenable to a rent increase to $X. Please let me know if this is not acceptable.

Send it registered mail with a return receipt, and keep a copy.

I do like coffee, I just don't like to make it. As for iced coffee, ewww! Any form of coffee that doesn't involve it being hot is yucky, and that includes frappachinoes and even coffee ice cream.

Kat, you drink Arnold Palmers, right?

What's an Arnold Palmer?!?!

(For men it's called a Hardy Boy!)

Bonny is a freak.

Coffee is nasty.

Dana is a freak.

Coffee is a disgusting beverage.

Tom is a freak.

I know if only I could drink coffee, I might consider myself an adult.

Theo aspires to non-freakdom.

If coffee tasted like it smells, it would be wonderful, but it tastes bitter and I don't like it.

Susan is a freak, except nasally.

You are all freaks who furthermore insult the heritage and tradition of my family! Err, or possibly just have divergent tastes.

Did we talk about lunch today? I ate breakfast so late it was lunch, so I made a fried egg sandwich.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

What's an Arnold Palmer?!?!

1/2 lemonade, 1/2 iced tea, 100% GOODNESS.

Suddenly, I miss Killer Shrimp.

Not sure how these are related.

Sigh. This is so much more concise, and likely to succeed, than what my ranty brain could muster today. Thanks.
