i met my soul mate today. her name is andrea and she is a 26 year old red-haired off-broadway actress. how do i know she is my soul mate? the barista at starbucks told us after we both ordered the exact same drink in succession: hot nonfat grande cinnamon dolce latte with no whip. (try saying that really fast. it kind of makes your head spin.)
i simply had to talk to this girl as we were waiting for our drinks because how can you not talk to your soul mate, the one person that you are supposed to be looking for essentially all your life? once we got to talking, however, it became so clear that we had absolutely nothing in common with each other. and i mean, really. there could not have been another person in that room who was more of my opposite than her. she personified the ideal new york city story of making it in the big city because she actually did leave her house after high school to become an actress in the city. i go home to the shelter of my parents every night, which includes a curfew even though i’m 21. she’s never been to college; i intend on staying in college until someone forcibly kicks me out and tells me to get on with my life. she’s rather accomplished in her field and well on her way to being even more successful. i’m still flailing in what i like to refer to as this wonderful little experiment called life. sadly, we ended up parting ways as she had to practice lines and i had to go to work. i wish her all the best in life, being my soul mate and all.
new plan: the next time i see a really hot guy at starbucks, i’m going to stand behind him, memorize his drink, and order exactly that at the same barista that he orders from. creepy? not at all! i can’t help it if i’d like an incredibly attractive soul mate!
