Coffee!

I actually don't like coffee. I don't understand how some people can find the smell of coffee 'nice' or something special. I mean yes, it does smell nice but you know, flowers smell nice too. What I'm trying to say is, I just don't have that coffee-thing in me. I rarely drink it and when I do, it seems to make me more drowsy than I'd originally be. Apparantly there is a taste difference between Cafe-Latte and Capaccino- well apart from the choc-powder and frothy cream in capaccino, they taste the same to me. In fact given a taste test, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between tea and coffee.

I would like to be a coffee-o-holic though. This is very much like my will to become a chain-smoker along with an alcoholic. It must be the people I've idolised- their morning-wake-up-coffee-with-a-cigarette appeal to me. Everytime someone lights up a cigarette, I get the urge to take up smoking. Actually, the only thing that's stopping me is the fact I'm still job-less and buying ciggies with parents money seems a bit weird to me. Similarly, when I walk past any coffee shop, namely Starbucks, I have the urge to sit myself inside and sip coffee while I think of world politics or philosophy or just not think at all. I don't end up doing either of them of course because that's just not me. I can never-ever-ever distinguish between coffee neither will it ever smell anything special.

I have a really short story with my first coffee experience. I was under the illusion that I could stay awake for a long-long time. Getting bored I called my friend at 2 am. The plan was to wake the friend up in the middle of a long-sound-sleep. So that didn't work. My friend was wide awake and picked up the phone after three rings. After whining for ten minutes, I said, I drank coffee so I can't sleep so I called you... an bla-bla.

I admit the story is nothing special. The reason I remember is simply because that was the first time I've drank coffee bought with my own money from McCafe- part of McDonalds where I worked. Hell, that was around three years ago. Yep, I am pathetic.
