Citizenship Adjustment
I’ve turned into a Starbuckian. I have my large grande(?) ice water, the little rice crispie treat I bought for under two bucks, am bundled in my sweatshirt with scarf, and am sitting here in a corner with all my stuff plugged in so I can do a little internet work. All that’s missing are my funky glasses and a knit cap. Then I’d be just like everyone else here, except the cute gay boy in the corner who asked me to watch his stuff while he went to the bathroom.
This is wrong on so many levels for me. This isn’t my world. I should be in a scuzzy dive bar with music blaring, watching a killer band, laughing with friends, and doing my computer work at home. In due time. In due time. Until then, I will have to watch myself so that I don’t lapse into too many coffeehouse behaviors. Certainly, one must watch that one doesn’t wake up in the Coffee Bean down the street or Seattle. No, one must stick with one place and guard against creeping hipsterization.
I shall do my best to remain ever vigilant against such things. Wish me luck!
In the meantime, I’m going to try to get some photos posted!
You’re already to cool to be a hipster.
