Where's my barista?

I blame fanfiction for my high expectation in finding love.
But I specially blame fanfiction on my high expectations in finding "the love of my life" working as a barista in a nice coffee shop.

Every single time a I go for a caffè on a coffee shop (and here I'm talking about a coffee shops that serves you more than your overall espresso, caffè with ( Read more... )

This could have come right from my brain. ^^ I so agree! XD If you ever find that coffee shop, please let me know so I can meet your wonderful barista's long-lost-cousin or just-adorable-flatmate that always seems to be just waiting for the MC's friend to appear.

Don't worry love! Serás la primera a la que se lo comentaré y te haré venir de visita a tomarnos cafés maravillosos.

En su defecto, siempre podemos montar una nosotras. Aquí seremos nosotras las baristas maravillosas y sólo tendremos que esperar a que venga el cliente triste-pero-maravilloso al que alegrar el día con un café ;)

Yo me sé de una (y tú también) que estaba planeando montar un café librería... quien sabe si nuestro futuro pasará por allí! ^^ Porque, aunque los sueños, sueños son (como dices abajo) y de sueños no se vive, sin ellos la vida tampoco es gran cosa.

Yo decidí hace ya un tiempo que mi trabajo ideal seria montar una tienda de ropa y complementos//coffee-shop. En teoría coffee-shop para llevar y darle a las clientas, pero la caja sería una barra y habría una mesita en la entrada. Idealmente también, había un sitio al fondo para trabajar (diseñar, cortar, coser) y obviamente un probador.
Y tendría un nombre francés moñas y estaría todo pintado bonito en pasteles y madera, y hasta dibujaría caritas sonrientes en los vasos de cartón... sigh...

jajaja, I have to blame fanfiction for it either, it's become so popular it's almost a genre on itself (I've seen it like that, requested Coffee-shop!AU)

¿Tu recuerdas lo que te dije después de leer el de Inception? Eh? Que sí, fic maravilloso pero me daba una rabia terrible porque joder, ¡la vida no es tan bonita! O almenos a mi aún no me ha llegado. Yo también quiero café y croisanes todas las mañanas, y sonrisas solo dedicadas a mi, y hacer un cambio de orientación laboral y que todo salga bien.

Pero bueno, hasta que me pase a mi en la realidad, me conformaré con leerlo y soñarlo. Aunque como dijo Calderon (y lo tengo muy presente porque Anna se lo está analizando para la UNED) "los sueños, sueños son":

Ahhhhhh, coffe-shop!AUs. Bless you fandom for unrealistic expectations!

I hope you find your mocha, at least! :)

That I did! Have a look: https://es.foursquare.com/reichmt/checkin/4ea2fdc58b81a02f89d290ae
And the waiters/baristas were nice enough, may need to go back ;)

En mi futura coctelería también haremos cafés chulos y habrá tartitas.
Y los baristas y bartenders estarán más buenos que los pasteles.
Y todo el mundo se enamorará y follará en plan salvaje. He dicho.

¿Necesitas una socia? ¿O una decoradora/diseñadora de vestuario-uniformes? ;)

Hiya,

I got pinged to this post a while back, and I'm working on an academic article on tropes and fanfic. Would it be okay if I quoted from you? I have a rough draft of the article if you want to see it in context...

Hopefully,
Cait

And that's what I love so much about fandom!
Of course you can quote from me, and even if I end looking like a crazy fangirl on an academic article! Nobody that knows me it's going to read it, so here goes nothing!

Anyway, I would love to read the rough draft of your article, not because I'm afraid you are going to misinterpret my words but because I'm really curious about it!

And finally I've just wanted to let you know how jealous I am of all you people that have the opportunity to work on fanfiction on an academic level, it doesn't matter if it's literature, psychology, sociology or whatever... I feel like I chose the wrong career sometimes ^_^

Looking forward to read your paper!

Sincerely,

Duare

*G* Thanks!!!!!!!

Do you want to PM me your email? And I'll send it to you shortly. It's a small part so who knows if it will end up making the final cut into the article itself. Or, I just posted it f-locked on my lj if you want to read it there; let me know and I'll friend you. *rambles in post academic writing haze* Whatever works! <3
