[NOTE/UPDATE: Apparently if you're not reading too closely it might not be apparent that the thing I drank wasn't really made of coffee!! I only appeared evil, friends!]
When I'm a supervillain (and let's face it, I'm on that path), I'm going to drink Double Chocolaty Chip Frappucino® Blended Cremes all the time just so people will look at me and be like, "wow, she must be evil!"
Actually, I won't. They're only somewhat delicious, and that's not delicious enough to be worth the fat and calories. I had to walk my evil-looking self three miles home today to not feel bad about drinking it.
In that game/poll/conversation-type-thing that Mormons do, the "if you were given a free pass to break one commandment, what commandment would you break?" thing, everyone always picks the Law of Chastity, but not I.* I would totally pick drinking some delicious blended frozen chocolate coffee thing.** I think this is why the Blended Creme has always piqued my curiosity whenever I would go into Starbucks--sinful deliciousness without the sin! I finally ordered it today after feeling "on top of the world" and "devil may care" after buying my bus pass. Like I said, it was okay, but not life changing.
So maybe that's not the sin I would pick after all, but I can't think of anything else appealing! I guess I am a goody-two-shoes after all.
*I could go on about the reason for this, but that's a topic for a different discussion, so for the purposes of my talking about frozen coffee-free drinks, let's just say that I guess I'm really just not rebellious enough.
**Or tithing. Seriously--why would people have premarital sex when they could save 10% of their income every month?
Agreed. Tithing is an OBVIOUS selection here. I calculated how much money I have to pay in tithing with my new job and it was appalling. I hope God appreciates my (pathetic) sacrifices...
ReplyDeleteI've always thought of the free pass system as getting to choose 3 things. So obviously my 3 are tithing, coffee, and...probably sabbath observance. I'm not really good at it anyway, so nothing much would change other than that I would never ever feel guilty about it ever again. But then I debate the coffee thing because I already observe the "spoon rule" (if you can eat it with a spoon [or, I suppose, a fork] then it's not against the WoW - opening up the doors for coffee ice cream etc), and I'm not sure I would like regular coffee enough to pass up something like a free pass for fasting. Or attending Sunday School.
I wish there was a "like" button for your ** point. Why risk STD's when you can save 10% of your income?!
