Wannabe Ganastas vs an Army of Me

On one relatively slow evening at the coffee shop, I was just sitting back to enjoy some Market Spice tea, when there arose a commotion outside. I opened the door to check it out and saw coming towards me, a skinny punk rocker called Tim. He was pursued...

The Rise and Fall of a Coffeehouse Rock Star God

A Meteoric Rise

.....So I started working at the coffee shop. I had the 11pm-7am shift, with Sunday and Moday for my days off. I saw all the action. As Summer drew nearer, more and more people hung out. On any given day, there were close to a hundred poeple milling around for most of...

.....I had $120.00 waiting for me at the coffee house from artwork I never intended to sell. I was very pleased with myself as I got ready to head downtown. In leu of my customary leather jacket, I donned a black and gold embroidered waistcoat that I scored from my friend,...

Wow- three entries in one day...why wont this day end?! Many people wore pink today. They did it just to spite me, I'm sure of it. I'm really embracing my inner goblin...

I have no idea why I'm still awake. It says I posted this entry at 3:00AM but it's really 4:00AM here. Weird. It's now officially Valentine's day. Yay. I'll celebrate it in a creepy basement lab while cuddling with an 80 million year old bone. Oh be still my fluttering heart. Maybe I'll take myself out to breakfast. It's almost time to get up anyway....
