Under Cover Coffee

I'm Jake, a 19 year old student and rower at the University of Washington... and I live off coffee. Every weekday I go to any of the many Starbucks in Seattle and order coffee. When they ask my name, I tell them something completely ridiculous, all the while holding a straight face. If I can get them to write it on the cup, it is officially a successful day!
Day 21- You know you’re addicted to coffee when your roommates asks for a sip and you pull it back in panic and starting yelling “it’s mine! My precioussssss…”

Day 13- Went with an American classic! I only said Abraham, the barista took the liberty of adding in the last name. Guess they don’t teach you how to spell “Lincoln” in barista school…

Day 12- I know I haven’t posted in a while, so I went into Starbucks for a midday pick-me-up. One of the baristas was a big X-men fan, so she got a real kick out of this one. She totally thought it was my real name, but said that she couldn’t help but picture me bald and in a wheel chair!
