White Mocha, Hold the Chocolate

I have like 4 movies I need to post reviews for, but I'm just not motivated to write them. Maybe later I'll be in the mood...

The guys down at Starbucks know me really well. Caffeine is my drug of choice so I'm in there practically every day. The 2 guys that were working this morning have been there for quite awhile and I always joke around with them. This morning it took a sort of bizarre turn though. One of them (the sorta scary, creepy one that I honestly always thought was gay) starts asking me how my weekend was and it wasn't just the normal chit-chat. It was... odd. He was totally hitting on me. Of all the guys that work there of course it was the scary one who decided to show some interest. (Ok, so the cute new boy hit on me all last week, but that was different. He was just flirting. We had a whole discussion about whip cream not just being for the bedroom anymore, but I digress.) This was different. Everyone around picked up on it. The other barista looked at him like he'd lost his mind and Lindy was totally amused by the exchange. I was polite but indifferent. I'm good at indifferent. I don't want to be mean, but I also don't want to encourage something that is never, ever going to happen. To make matters worse, I distracted him to the point that he was no longer able to perform his job properly. I seem to go in cycles as to what I order at Starbucks. I'll do Mochas for a month or two, then Vanilla Cremes for a couple of weeks, then maybe back to Mochas. For the last week or so I've been on a White Mocha trip. That was what I ordered this morning. What I got was a latte. He was so busy hitting on me that he totally forgot to put the chocolate in my coffee. Depriving me of chocolate on a Monday morning is never a good idea... It looks like it's going to be another weird fucking week. Oh joy!

On a side note, what is with all the guys hitting on me the last few weeks? Am I sending out some sort of bizarre signal that I'm not aware of? If so, can someone please let me know what it is so I can turn it off? Don't get me wrong, having someone to curl up in bed with on cold winter nights is great, but I'm soooo not looking for anyone right now... aside from Matt Damon
of course. (See my blog from Thurs night). Matt sorta has a standing invite for whenever he wants to come over... Well, maybe there are a couple of others that are welcome anytime too... actually, I have a list.... Ok, so maybe I'm just not looking for any strange Starbucks guys who can't seem to put chocolate in my coffee :)
