Coffee shops. It matters where your drinking, and what your drinking. California subculture is brutal. With starbucks on every corner, and hundreds of independently owned coffee shops you have to know what you want in life. This may sound slightly ridiculous but coffee/tea drinkers are not to be taken lightly.
I myself REQUIRE coffee every day, or i cease to function. As of lately i've also joined with up on the tea band wagon, consuming over 70 ounces of iced tea a day, preferably Jasmine Dragon Pheonix Pearl. Yeah. It's not a joke.
Starbucks, corporate.
Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, less corporate, still a chain. (best tea by far)
It's a Grind, long beach based coffee shop, frequented by mid 30's to upper 40's
Portfolio, ultra-hip points for ever cup of black coffee you drink here
Hot Java, one step below the ultra-hip scene of Portfolio, best mochas around.
Where you drink, says alot about a person.
I spent a year as a barista at a local based chain coffee shop, what a person drink says a lot about them. By the end of my time working as a barista i was able to guess a persons drink before they ordered. Effective 85% of the time.
Black Coffee, addicted to either coffee, or wanting to be cool (you can tell by wether or not their nose scrunches up when they take a sip)
Coffee w/ tons of sugar and cream, either addicted to sugar and added fats or just can't handle it black, usually a more honest coffee drinker.
Tea, laid back and cheap
cappuccino, the elitist-snob of all coffee drinkers, make sure to make it dry if they ask for dry, and wet if they ask for wet, because they WILL know. They always know.
blended mocha, baby steps. The gate-way drink. you know...
I mean, i could analyze every drink on the menu, but like, i wont. Cause that would just get tedious. But honestly, what you drink says alot about you, how much your willing to pay, how much you want, how strong or weak, flavored or black, all speaks to character. Most the time at least.
(sorry this is so short, i don't know what else there is to say about coffee, leave a comment and ill make it longer or something...)

nice work, im pretty much in this envorinment alot so i understand it all. coffee is just a natural born indicator of peoples life stories. no big deal. pretty fun read.
hahah, this is a funny one. good job. I like all the comparisons, like where you go, what you drink, it made it interesting. I think this was a good topic to keep short, saying to much about coffee might not be a good thing......you're to cool. jk.
chad. i really am to cool.
Good work here. I am really liking the narrative quality each of you bring to your writing. Its something i dont get to see in english class that often. But really it can be hard to do satire well, so awesome points to Kandyce this week for pulling it off wel.
