Not the Utensil

It was cold this morning. Like feels like 32 degrees cold. Brrr.... So, what did I do? Went to Cafe D'arte to grab a coffee. Shortly after I walked in and began my wait in line, the woman in front of me turned around and inquired:

"Have you ever been to Forks? I'm going to Forks in September of next year for two weeks. What do you think about Edward and Bella?"

Oh dear lord. I'm sorry people, but I hate Twilight. I was once forced to watch it by some old roommates... and it was the biggest waste of time of my life.

But this lady was passionate about Forks. I mean, it is November... and she already has it planned out in her head that a year from now, she'll be in Forks. Come on! So, I couldn't just stomp on her dreams. Instead, we talked about Forks for a good ten minutes and all the reasons why I should someday go... well, you are the first to know that I am a bad person. Yes, I promised that lady I would go someday... but I'm telling you, I lied. Feel free to throw some stones my way.

And I know you are sitting there wondering... so let me put you at ease... yes, she was wearing a Twilight sweatshirt.
