Syrupy baristas and maniacal kittens

Ok, to my fellow San Diegans.. watch out on the roads cuz it's fricken raining!! Yes, I was so excited to go out to the car and have rain getting me in the eye. I cant tell you how long it's been since it last rained and seeing as I'm originally from rainy Oregon, it was missed. But, the reason I was going out at eleven at night, was to go on a coffee run. You see, I've been sadly and (lovingly) addicted to Starbucks since I moved here. So there I was at the window and the barista (who was a perky blond who I dont mind at all) noticed the rain on my window and asked if it was raining. I replied " yeah it's been for a little bit now" and the next part still makes me laugh. "shut the fuck up!" Said exclamation was not intended to offend and I didnt take it that way. She was so excited that it was raining that she was jumping up and down at the window like a little child. It was kinda cute to be truthful because that's exactly how I felt when I noticed it. So anyways, she handed me my "venti vanilla mocha with whip and an add shot please" and instead of the usual boring white cup, she handed me a bright, cheery red cup with snowflakes on it. Immediately it made me excited because I realized how soon christmas is coming and as most of my family knows, I adore christmas. Not because of said presents or the whole shopping thing (which nobody likes unless they tend to lean on the masochistic side), but because when I was living in Incestacadia it meant snow and the annual "christmas light competition" with my neighbors. Ah, I'd give anything to be back home for christmas in my former home and putting up christmas lights. I think that may have been my most favorite part of then was the cheery feeling and all the decorations. Alas, I'm not there.. I'm here. But I've heard that it's not where you are but who you're with so we'll see on that one. But, on with the ramblings shall we? Oh, Fish.. I'm so excited. My internet connector is actually letting me on this time! How exciting is that? Lol, ok maybe not that exciting but hey.. at least I can sit in bed listening to KELLY CLARKSON because somebody's back is in a funk again. Hopefully it'll be gone by the time I wake up tomorrow. Ok, I think this blog is getting a little off topic (hehe, I make myself laugh), so I'm going to say goodnight to whomever is reading this. Good night, more randomness-ness to come. Oh, Fish. I wanted to see how you would react to this comment " I'm about as maniacal as a box of kittens." That always makes me laugh and I said it to Beth this evening and she laughed her ass off. Ok, I'm leaving.
