I AM VERY PATIENT, EXCEPT WHEN I'M NOT
In addition to having a damn good burrito place that has served as the setting for two of my stories (and I swear I'll get Adagio's chapter out as soon as I can make it not suck!), my town is home to a Hawaiian restaurant – well, it's a bit Haole; there's no poi and not a lot of fish, which is fine by me since I don't care for poi. I went there tonight to pick up some food for my significant other, who had to work…

Unfortunately, one aspect of the island this place definitely brought over is a complete and total lack of organization and only a vague acknowledgement that time exists. It took over an hour to get a simple order, though I won't blame them too much since my original order fell through because the food wouldn't cooperate and then they got slammed by a dinner rush. As an apology, the owner's sister (who knows me as a regular) mixed me a drink from the bar on the house. I didn't care either way, since I didn't have anywhere else to be, and sometimes it's nice even for a recluse like me to get out of the house, but I won't turn down free booze.
I do lose my patience sometimes. Well, often. Mostly when I'm somewhere I don't want to be and I feel like my time is being wasted. Like being in a store with someone else and I've already done my shopping but they're not done yet. It's waiting without a purpose. Have I mentioned that I've been a casual Sonic fan for over 20 years? That would explain my dislike of being waylaid and habit of tapping my foot.
No, I'll never write a Sonic/MLP crossover, don't worry. I've outlined a Lum/MLP crossover though. Dunno if I'll actually write it, since there's more important stuff I want to do.
Although I based Big Beulah's Burrito Barn off a real burrito restaurant, there's a huge difference between my version and the real thing – namely that the actual place is a local institution we eat at about once a week, whereas I'd never eat at Beulah's. Like I think I said in-story, Beulah probably violates every health code in the book.
Fun Fact: I always imagined Beulah having a thick New York or New Jersey accent – think like a cross between Judge Judy and Donald Trump. For an English equivalent, I envision her sounding like Terry Jones playing the "Spam" lady in Monty Python (even though he's actually Welsh).
One last thing, for anyone who's bothered to read this far – I wrote a story a couple months back where Spike finds himself trapped in a Youtube Poop, and I was wondering if it was anything anyone would be interested in reading or if I should keep it hidden. Yes, I know I already wrote two blog entries about it, but it finally has its proper rating (it's "M", probably the only one I'll ever write).
RANT OFF.
