Starbucks addict, thy name is Mouse

[castalie]

Showers taken today already: 2 (argh) People I wanted to kill on my way back home: 3 (v.g) Time I spent crying and whining in my head about the fucking heat on my way back home: total of two hours and fifty two minutes. Years I want to spend worshipping my fan: a hundred? Minimum.

Without the slightest segue: what I love with The Best Friends is how much attuned to my different addictions they are, even the new ones. Of course, it could have something to do with the fact that I chatter and ramble and prattle about aforementioned addictions pretty much all the time, but they could tune me out, right? Except they don't and they remember them all. Even when they're on their own and everything. And like, Rissy? Paid me a little visit yesterday evening to give me my bday presents and it was Starbucks goodies! So among other things I now have my very own Stabucks mug, yay! Actually she was cute enough to even ask for the Stabucks cups, you know the ones - yeah the regular cups, I love them, so sue me. With my name and everything! That was too sweet for words. And I also have a Starbucks tin box. Random Fact #4512 about The Mouse: I love tin boxes. Well, I love boxes in general, but tin boxes in particular.

And some pointless meme now.

25% of prison slang only? So what? Oz didn't teach me anything? *hides in shame* And I didn't do that good on the rest either come to think of it - apart from British slang which wasn't so bad... Apparently, my flist doesn't use slang enough, you don't teach me the good stuff! *glares*

And I finally got used to using the tags. Maybe I won't do it all the time but still. I could store all my fics on a page, like my very own site on LJ, prettier than the memories, I mean - since apparently I don't really care that much about my real site anymore. Odd that btw, at one point, I was always there, updating this, tweaking that. Such is life on-line, I suppose *g*

I checked out that quiz and one of them was pretty funny. One of the choices for "packie" was a Green Bay Packers fan. I'm a Green Bay Packers fan and I've never heard anyone call Packers fans that. If anything, they'd be called Packers or Cheeseheads. We'll wear big foam cheese wedges to games, etc. because Wisconsin is "America's Dairy Land." Silly I know. But yes. Look at all of that information!

I'm going to miss football when I'm in France. :(

here are "cheeseheads" :D

LOL Oh that's cute *g*

[whitevanilla.livejournal.com]

I had to post this one because those are Packers fans! It's probably uber cold and they've got their shirts off.

Alright. I promise, I'm done now. :D

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Man, I love those cheeseheads of yours lol

[whitevanilla.livejournal.com]

Aren't they great?

Yeah, if you're not a Packers fan, most people hate them with a passion.

Being called a Cheesehead can either be a compliment or an insult, depending on how one wants to take it.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Cheesehead? lol Sounds intersting.

I'm going to miss football when I'm in France.

Actually no, once you'll be in France, you'll know what 'football' is lol Cause see, American football is not football, no matter what you silly Americans say ;-)

[whitevanilla.livejournal.com]

I knew that was coming. :P

I'm sure I'll get sucked into soccer once I'm there!

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

What about Packer-Backers?

[(Anonymous)]

Touche!

Now how'd I forget that one?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Starbucks goodies. They sound wonderful.

At least watching QAF UK has taught you some good slang ;)

Now I think I'll go look at those cheesehead pictures in your comments again. Cheeseheads. The things you learn on LJ *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I was bouncing when I opened the presents, they're so awesome! I can't help it, I just love Starbucks *g*

LOL Well you know, I only watched QAF UK to expend my linguistic knowledge *cough*

You have to see that, alright. At first I thought it was an insult towards the French, you know? lol

What great pressies from your best friend ^_^! Plus I share your love of tin boxes, I adore them. One of my favourites is a gorgeous Maxim one that I keep my Earl Grey tea in... unfortunately the chocolates are long gone ^^;!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Another tin box lover, wheee! I love the 'classic' ones best, the ones with the 30s-40s look *g*

Starbucks + fan + tags

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

honey, I go to Starbucks at least once a week, and I always think about you when I do *smootches* What is it you drink when you go to Starbuck?

*offers a fan* I'm sorry about the heat, love...

re: the tags: I'm a semi-Amish, I know but... what are they? What do they do?

Re: Starbucks + fan + tags

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Once a week? Oh that's good. And you do? This is so sweet! *smooches back*

I'm hoping it'll be a little better. At least it was cool last night.

Aren't you using them already? To me, they're like memories but shinier in that you have them all on a same page - as if you were reading your recent entries, for instance... only all the entries are from the same category *g* If there's something more, I have no idea what it is. I already had trouble enough seeing their use in the first place lol

Re: Starbucks + tags

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

I'm putting the name on the tag section, but I didn't know what they did exactly *giggles* I clicked on one and realised what they did. Good stuff - me likey! I can have a page full of Don entries!

sooo... what do you usually take when you go to Starbucks?

Re: Starbucks + tags

[castalie.livejournal.com]

You were using tags even though you didn't have the slightest idea of what they were doing? Bad sheep, bad lol

I usually take a macchiato caramel *g*

Re: Starbucks + tags

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

not really a sheep more, like an idiot who sees something and can't stop touching it even though she doesn't know what it's going to do! but see, for me it's tags so it sounds stupid, but when it's about artefacts you find it all cute! Silly double standard!

Moccachino is my weapon of choice *g* (is it the same thing? i'm still new in Starbucks...)

[audrarose.livejournal.com]

Hey, you! I am an LJ exile at the moment due to RL insanity (and a really wanky internet connection) but I wanted to say hi, I'm still here, and I'm glad you are, too! *bg*

I'm hoping if I ignore the tag thing it will go away, b/c I don't understand what it is and I don't have the mental energy right now to figure it out. :) I'm sure it's blindingly simple.

Hope you're having a wonderful summer, sweetie! :)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

You've been quite scarce lately, true enough, always sweet seeing you back, even for a little while *g* I certainly miss you when you're not around *g*

Seriously, when the tags appeared I couldn't see their uses. At all. To me it was nothing more than another memories section and we already have this, right? Except I tried them anyway and found they were nice. So when you tag an entry and create a category - the sentinel, numb3rs, real life etc etc - you'll be able to have all those entries on a same page, ie as if you were reading your recent entries, they'll be all there, displayed for your eyes. It's quite shiny and all. If there's something deeper about them... I have no idea what it is lol

Thanks, I'll work this summer so it won't be real vacation, but it's okay, money at the end of it, ya know? *g* Besides, it's been five years since I left Choisy for more than five days, so I'm getting used to it lol

[aswanargent.livejournal.com]

Why didn't you say before now that you like Starbucks? I have a Starbucks across the street from where I live. If you ever need/want anything from there, just let me know. :-)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I usually talk more about Starbucks in Winter, but yeah, I do love it *g* And thanks for the offer, I'll certainly remember that *g*
