Better than nothing

[squeequeg]

You are instant coffee gulped on a bus.

You are better than nothing. You are well-meaning,
but ersatz. You sing along with Muzak in
elevators. You cannot remember your original
hair color, and your artificial nails could be
used to slice a zucchini. You forget small
details such as your telephone number and the
names of your children. You believe in
astrology, numerology, and satinism (the cult
of shiny fabrics).


What kind of coffee are you?

This actually makes sense. The only reason I ever started liking coffee was from drinking Village Pantry "cappuchino" when I was working at the cabinet factory. When I got back East and had real cappuchino in a coffee shop, I thought it was terrible. And while my tastes have changed some, there's still a part of me that wants coffee with too much cream, too much sugar, flavor shots of everything, and sprinkles on top. If coffee came with little umbrellas in it, I'd ask for those too.

If it weren't for my whole sensitive-to-caffeine thing, I'd be Starbucks' target customer.

Should have been the mixed green salad

Who's Rimbaud?


You are a cappuccino, sipped in the afternoon,
after sex.

You are not trendy; you set trends for others. You
wear black or nothing, and your playlist
alternates Mahler with bands no one else has
heard of. You read Rimbaud in public places,
and you have a vintage poster for La Dolce
Vita hanging over your bed. You pepper
your conversation with quotes from obscure
Jacobean revenge tragedies, and you cackle to
yourself when your lovers assume that you are
quoting I Love Lucy. Your glasses have
designer frames and you do not need them to
see.
