<p>i’ve actually never had pure coffee (i’ve had lattes, cappuccinos, other coffee-blend drinks, etc but not coffee) aside from the one time i had a sip of it on a plane and then learned that it was going to “permanently stunt my growth.” lol.</p>
<p>chair2—MEE TOO. only coffee I’ll drink. My friends call it “fake coffee” hahah since it has so much sugar and other crap. LOOOVE the smell of coffee beans and all that…can’t stand the taste of it though.</p>
<p>LOVE starbucks though. Frappucinos…and White chocolate mochas. and all that. yuuuuum. Too bad there’s only 1 in town…in the most inconvenient place EVER.
what’s it named after??
It’s freakin expensive though…I had Starbucks like twice a day in NYC (ONE AROUND EVERY CORNER…heaven.) and let me tell ya, it definitely eats up your money.</p>
<p>Hmm yeah. totally different music tastes since I’ve never heard of Mika. Buuut that’s ok. whatever floats ya boat right? :)</p>
<p>Named after a seaman (no innapropro jokes, okay guys? hold it together) in Moby Dick (okay…seriously, bad choice of words here) who was named Starbuck and always had a cup of coffee in his hand whenever his character showed up. TRUE FACT. </p>
<p>Look it up on Wikipedia. The mother of all true facts ;)</p>
<p>That growth thing so isn’t true. I started drinking coffee a few months before the summer during which I grew half a foot.</p>
<p>Boys always do that, just kind of shoot up all the sudden…girls usually gradually acquire their height. </p>
<p>It was really awkward being taller than all the boys in 5th grade, I was 5’ 2" and had a good 2" on every single person in my grade, and we used to have to line up in height order to go to lunch or music or art and I was ALWAYS last.</p>
<p>Yes, boys will be boys. ;)</p>
<p>Lining up by height is strange. When I was little, we always lined up however. I loved being first in line because the people who were first would get to hold doors open for the rest of the line. I don’t know why I enjoyed that so much.</p>
<p>That’s like…the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard.</p>
<p>Yeah. </p>
<p>They call me rocker sweet.</p>
<p>Guys, we’re so close to being at 1,000 posts! I’m not sure if that’s exciting or sad…</p>
<p>Aw rocker! That’s adorable.</p>
<p>It’s.been.real — OMG I drink coffee for the taste too! Just for the taste. The caffeine doesn’t really have an effect on me! But I AM pretty short at 5’1" and I’ve been drinking coffee since I was really young, though I think it’s just a coincidence. </p>
<p>Ugh it’s too humid for me to fall asleep.</p>
<p>Lols…I had the same malady…I was like sticking to my sheets all night and it just sucked. </p>
<p>Caffein really doesn’t have any effect on me either, which is actually pretty unfortunate because I can’t rely on it to jump start me after a relentless night of studying. They also say it blackens your teeth, but…I’m good! Still got white choppers :)</p>
<p>Demi—I’ve been drinking coffee since I was really young too! Like…around 5 probably because I just loved the smell of it soooo much.</p>
<p>I LOVE the smell of coffee but it smells so much better than it tastes. But oh boy… Starbucks caramel frappuccino. <em>dies</em></p>
<p>Peppermint mocha (iced or hot). </p>
<p>Little trick of the trade: if you want to upgrade from a tall never jump to a grande, it’s a HUGE waste of money, just shoot for the venti. They make the grande cups taller, but narrower than than the tall cups so you can actually fit the entirety of a grande into a tall cup (I’ve tried), essentially for that extra money you’re getting about a tablespoon or so of extra liquid. ALSO, when getting an iced drink ask for the ice in a separate cup otherwise you’re only getting about half the glass, if even that, full of your drink, the rest of the space is taken up by ice. AND LASTLY, never tell them to leave room for milk as they will leave way too MUCH room and you could’ve just sipped off the top and put in the milk yourself. </p>
<p>Yeah…I frequent Starbucks…</p>
<p>Starbucks is ridiculously expensive. And the names of their sizes are so ridiculous. I remember the first time I went to Starbucks, and I was like “I’d like a medium [whatever it is that I ordered]” and the woman was like “Oh, a grande?” and then I said “No… a medium?” “So a grande?” and that persisted for well over a minute.</p>
<p>^ lol. I always say medium. Nice tips, it’s.been.real! I forget, what’s the difference between venti and grande? Surely the grande is bigger if it’s a mug you’re using and not the cups?</p>
<p>Room for milk NEVER leaves room for milk here.</p>
<p>No, according to the genius that is Starbucks, “venti” is much, much bigger than “grande”.</p>
<p>Just got an email from Columbia. “The 2009-2010 Columbia First-Year Application is available now. Click to apply.” </p>
<p>Click to apply, rofl. If only it were that simple.</p>
<p>Ooh so venti is large? Small medium and large are tall, grande and venti? Why can’t they just stop being annoying and use proper words.</p>
<p>I feel ill and want to go home <em>sulks</em></p>
<p>Not that I’m condoning listening to Aaron Carter…HOWEVER:</p>
<p>Suzy: Hi welcome to Snappy Burger, may I take your order, please?
Aaron: Uh, yeah, can I get a cheeseburger with no cheese?
Suzy: Sir, that would be a hamburger!
Aaron: No, I want a cheeseburger, no cheese.
Suzy: Sir, exactly what is it that you want?
Aaron: Alright, alright. Hold the cheese on the burger
and give the burger to me and don’t put it in the package.
Suzy: Okay so that’s nuggets and an orange soda?
Aaron: What? Can I have your name please?
Suzy: Suzy Smith, why?
Aaron: Let me speak to the supervisor.
Suzy: I am the supervisor. You know what? I don’t really like
your attitude.
Aaron: Aaugh! forget it! I wasn’t hungry anyways! </p>
<p>Similar to your Starbucks experience :)</p>
<p>I used to have the biggest crush on Aaron Carter. He was so adorable.</p>
<p>ME TOO! The day I found out he had his ear pierced though was the day I broke up with him and went for his brother. </p>
<p>Oh, to be young and in love.</p>
