Maybe I should switch to decaf

Sometime, I think it was the week before last, I was getting my daily 44 oz Coke. (And yes, I drink those daily. I drink TWO daily but we'll get into my caffeine dependency another time.

Anyway, I have on my keys, aside from, you know, keys:

1. My Speedy Rewards card

2. A keychain of Spock and Kirk that was given to me by the lovely sithdragn. It's a colored drawing of them, and the two of them are standing close enough to satisfy the slasher in me but far enough apart that I don't mind having it on my keys for the entire world to gawk at.


So, a couple weeks ago, I was getting my Coke. And I handed the cashier my keys so she could scan my Speedy Rewards card and thus, I could earn one of my two free weekly drinks. (I drink a lot of Coke, okay?) For the first time, ever, she noticed my keychain and said, "Aww, aren't the cute together!"

..she thought it was a photo of, like, I dunno, my brother or something with his boyfriend! Caught flatfooted, I just mumbled something along the lines of, 'Yeah, they are', and left.

This amuses me to no end, but even more so in that now when I come in, she does not comment on my keys anymore. Just quickly gives me my change. I don't know if she realized who they were later and decided I was a freak or if she thinks that I think she's a freak but either way, I'm amused.

By the way, if you're out there and you noticed the keys because you are a Trek slasher, hi! I don't think you're a freak! Feel free to give me a Vulcan salute next time. ;)
