My Turn to be Brave

Hey welcome to my blog! I'm Lauren, 27 living in the midwest USA and currently trying to figure out my life. My blog has a little but of everything: mental health, cute/funny things, hearing loss stuff, Broadway, Idina Menzel, Darren Criss, Grey's Anatomy, and other fandom things. LaurenS211 on twitter

One of the baristas at a nearby Starbucks makes me lose my mind every time I’m working there by saying things that are not outside the spectrum of normal human words but are just slightly off-the-wall.

Barista: Welcome to Starbucks, home of delicious, what deliciousness can I put in motion for you today?

Customer: … Can I get a trenta pink drink please?

Barista: Go big or go home, we here at Starbucks appreciate your commitment, what else can I get started for you?

***

Customer: Nitro cold brew with shots of espresso please.

Barista: Brave of you to commit to staying awake for three days, anything else today?

***

Barista: *slams open drive-thru window* HI HOW ARE YOU?

Customer: …I’m pretty good.

Barista: Are you ready to be even better? Because you’re about to be. *hands them their coffee* 

***

Barista, realizing that a drink was made wrong: *slams open window* SO how do you feel about surprises?

Customer: ….they’re okay.

Barista: Great because I’m about to give you one.

***

Barista: You have two drinks so I am going to hand you two straws which means, FANTASTIC news, these straws double as drumsticks. / You have one drink so I am going to hand you one straw and, promise not to tell anyone, this straw doubles as a magic wand.

***

Barista: Here are those cake pops, I plucked them fresh from the tree myself.

***

Barista: *slams open window, holding drink* Amazing, fantastic, delicious, you are a very lucky man/woman!

***

Barista, realizing drink is being delayed or remade: Looks like it’s gonna be just one minute so they have time to put the extra love in.

***

Barista: I’ll be with you in one hot second. *beat* WOW that second sure was hot!

Anyway she has a few dozen catchphrases she rotates appropriately and it’s both distracting and fantastic to listen.

She sounds like a fuckin riot and I want to tell her she’s doing amazing

hating Cole Sprouse 

the tons of “social experiment” memes that followed

the first wave of Actual Cannibal Shia LaBaeuf memes from before there was even a video for it

trying to trick “hipster” blogs into reblogging fandom content 

the whole strict dichotomy between fandom and hipster blogs as a whole tbh

“I was here here before MTV!”

12.9 year olds

“what is air” and “my ovaries” 

non-tumblr people were peasants

nice legs daisy dukes

slideshows with comic sans and sometimes making your mom or sibling comment on some cringey show they’d never seen

homestuck

tumblr user pizza (what ever happened to them???)

tumblr user the-vashta-nerada 

Nine In The Afternoon jokes/references all the time??

Can you believe that there are people who live so close to the ocean that they can just think “hey, I should go to the ocean” and then they just do???

[savethefirecat]

For those who can’t go to the ocean…. 

…I can bring an ocean to you.

The Pope and the Vatican do NOT speak for ALL Christians, NOR do they dictate when Easter happens, thank you very much.

It is STILL the celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ’s Resurrection, and as such, is NOT dependant on the word of one mortal man.

The Lord is our Father, NOT Pope Francis.

Yes, I understand WHY he has cancelled Mass/services/whatever at St. Peters, but that does NOT mean he has the AUTHORITY to cancel Easter itself.

Only God Himself could do that, and we ALL know that He won’t.

[full-moon-phoenix]

Jesus: Stop telling everyone I’m dead!

Pope (tearfully): Sometimes I can still hear his voice.

How dare you make a reference this funny

Are we all just ignoring the psychopath that took this post seriously

While millions of people are staying home to reduce the spread of COVID-19, Scribd is making our digital library of ebooks and audiobooks free for everyone: scribd.com/readfree 

🤩T A G G I N G E V E R Y O N E🤩  

[cuddleshock]

FREE EBOOKS???

[tytonidyke]

Take advantage of this everyone!! Services like Libby are restricted by your local library’s collection, but Scribd has a massive collection and I’ve been able to find a bunch of reads my library didn’t have

if you feel overwhelmed, remember that the world around you can be stressful. sometimes it’s better to rest, gather your thoughts, pick yourself up slowly and start again. don’t feel like you’re worthless if you’re not doing anything. it’s ok to sleep more or eat more or not be as productive as usual. it’s ok to turn to comforting things for a while. just existing and breathing is enough if you’re exhausted. take care of yourself.
