on my last halloween in portland, i was walking to a job interview early in the morning when i passed an elderly black man wearing a catholic priest's outfit having a smoke out on the sidewalk. as i walked by, he greeted me with "good mornin', cupcake!"

i think that was my first time being called "cupcake," too, which made it that much more awesome. ...i have mentioned before that i spent 13 years of my life in catholic schools, right?
