i need a coffee name.
you know, a name i use when ordering my coffee instead of my real one? that, or i need to use a fake name when i email my issues on customer service.
about a month ago, i emailed a complaint to my local coffee retailer and received a kind note back from the manager with her apologies and an offer to come back in for a free cuppa. unfortunately, when i took her up, they messed up again. the next time i was in, they were out of the drink i wanted.
thankfully, i didn't email her a second time to tell her since she totally remembered me when i was in there yesterday — i was unmasked by my extremely specific order and real name. she asked if everything was going better at her store. i murmured, "oh yes," quickly trying to think of a good coffee name for myself.
this might be fun. tomorrow, i will start with b-listers beginning with any of the cast members from "the surreal life." do you think they'll believe my name is "da brat?"

The trick with coffee names is that I'm always scared that I will forget that I gave a coffee name. Maybe mine should be "Maggie" - the name of my childhood cat. But I'm also strangely interested in calling myself "Lulu".
I think yours should be one that's freakily cute and perky -- like "Candy" or "Baby". I would pay to have you say your name is Baby.
Ha.

I always used to use the name Roxanne for my pool name (you know when you have to write your name on the chalk board of who wants to play next). This should be fun to come up with a good name...
