This little scene came straight out of my life back in my college days. One of my roommates had her boyfriend visiting for a couple weeks, and I used to think it was adorable when he’d find a way to get her out the door on time.. usually by luring her with her own coffee. At the time I thought it was the perfect example of the ying-and-yang that makes soul mates click. It’s those little things, the way one has patience for the other’s flaws, the way one completes the other.
Ironically, they ended up splitting after college. And, not that it hinges on that, but I don’t believe in the classic idea of “soul mates” anyway.
*ahem* Soooo.. anyhoo…. hope you enjoy today’s update.
P.S. I HEART COFFEE. and my fiancé, too, yeah.
Oh! I was enjoying your little side story, and then it was like, “but now they hate each other…” (okay, you didn’t say that, but it still was a let-down…) But I do love both the strip and the ex-boyfriends idea. That’s pretty cool. I knew my guy was the one when he could quote both the movie “Boomerang” and “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”… But I think we’re going to split up so I can see if “Coffee Guy” is available…
Heh, I realized some would see their breakup as a downer, but.. to me.. that’s just the weirdness of life. If “soul mates” don’t have to be mates for life… then maybe people can match up as soul mates for portions of their life. Sometimes it may be for an entire lifetime, but nothing is guaranteed. All you can is try to ride it out with someone who matches up well with yourself.
anyway, moving past my little speech, those are 2 random movies to be able to quote, LOL. Hey, if you found that guy, stick with him! Let Starbucks be your on-the-side lover. ;0)
Nah, I actually agree with you. Moving on, and living life, finding love in other people, things, your work, music is part of life, and life experience.
And yeah, Me & Mr. Starbucks – we got a thang goin’ on…
Ha,ha,ha. Like Homer Simpson and Donuts!
LOL, yep, minus the drooling and groaning noises. Most days, anyway.
My wife keeps me because I make coffee every morning. That and the ridiculous stuff that continuously pours from my mouth. Words that is. Except for yesterday. I feel better now, thanks.
ha ha ha ha ha, eww. Your wife must have an iron stomach ;0P
But which one do you love more….coffee or the fiance?
ahhh, the eternal question…
Coffee, or clothes?
for me, coffee. I’m usually cursing at my clothes for not fitting right. Screw ’em.
LOL, yeah thats me in the morning. I can’t do crap with out coffee.
CyberDog out.
I’m like one of Cosby’s kids from the “Himself” stand up: rmmmmmm-nummmm-nummm…. oooommm-num-nummmm….
but then there’s no chocolate cake. :0(
See, now I thought it was a woman and her hand bags.
I’ll shut up now.
LOL, not THIS woman. I have a “hernia sack”, as my fiance calls it. It fits everything. I don’t need any more.
Hahaha, that one is awesome! Sometimes real life is the best inspiration, isn’t it? 😀
and this gem has been on the shelf for years! I can’t even tell you what made me think of it.
I am in full agreement! Although, I’m a dude
it’s cool. Coffee is neither feminine or masculine. It is the caffeinated beverage that unites us all.
A proper soulmate knows which buttons to push and which ones to leave alone. Nice strip, Dawn!
that’s a good line George. A proper “soul mate” of mine would know how to press the ON button on the coffeemaker.
Yeah, I’m the one who makes us coffee in the morning. It has saved my life on countless occasions. But the way my wife drives, sometimes I wish it was scotch. Don’t get me wrong,
she’s really good. If I were the Green Hornet, she’d bey Kato. She kicks ass and drives ballsy.
LOL, your wife rocks! and yeah, coffee is the last thing you need with a crazy-driver… 2 things that really make you wanna piss your pants!
You’d think this would be the perfect opportunity to plug the Z&F Coffee Mugs in the merchandise section!
oh yes! Hey everyone! Treat your “true soul mate” to a new accessory! Z&F coffee mugs! http://www.zazzle.com/z_f_spaceship_mug-168205388635872842
