this is not your house

So. Every monday night i meet with seven other girl friends from high school for coffee. We've been going to the same starbucks for about three years now. They recognize us (even though we switched from tuesday to monday...ps the tuesday night employees are WAY better at making coffee). They used to have this couch that we always sat on/around/etc. It was lime green, until it'd been there for about two years and then it was more of a brownish-lime green. They replaced it with this lovely leather couch. Very nice. Very supple. Very comfortable. And very USED BY NOT US. Apparently monday night is a popular night at starbucks. We can deal with it - it's usually a bunch of 16 year old girls who have to get home by curfew - so we're usually only without our couch for maybe 45 minutes. (we tend to sit close by....and as our conversations tend to be loud and personal...they usually are scared away.....oops!) :o)

Well. Tonight. Tonight took the cake. I walked in to see our couch was taken. Typical. What was NOT typical was that it was a couple. A very amorous couple. The lady was almost stradling the guy! And while one might not be as shocked if this was a couple of high school/college kids who couldn't handle the cold in the car...these people were parental age!! They both probably have homes. According to Sarah who'd arrived early in order to do some studying, they'd already been there for two hours. Making out! We (there were six tonight) and two other couples were all jammed in the back of starbucks in order to avoid the PDA! Seriously people! This is NOT your bedroom!! So the public sex people finally left and we reclaimed the couch (after loudly hoping they didn't have skin herpes).

We sit down and our hockey coach "friend" (the guy who sits really close and then (we think) blogs about our coversations) arrives. He sits down in the corner - about 20 feet from where we're discussing the various aspects of traveling to china, poo in a long-term residential living home, how to handle awkward relationships, etc - and proceeds to host a radio show. HOST A RADIO SHOW FROM STARBUCKS! Ummm...hello! This is NOT your office!!!

How odd. Erinn, another coffee girl, was assigned to blog on this as well. Here's her take on the situation. Isn't she fantastic?!

(there was more to this post, but unfortunately, blogspot ate it and i don't remember what i wrote. grr.)
