Emojis of all kind

A woman commented in a sushi restaurant:  "This Indian flute music has been following me all day long.  First in my massage, then shopping downtown.  Now here.  I'm beginning to think there's only one Pandora station around here." 

Comment from Lauren from my last blog post (echoing my thoughts exactly):
"People still read The Celestine Prophecy?"

A Honey Moon employee told me two teenage girls were enthusiastically chitchatting one day while waiting in line.  They kept talking about yoga and emojis, which seemed to the worker like a funny combination of topics.  When they got to the front to pay, he realized they were talking about actual yoga emojis.  "Who knew those existed?" he asked.  "But if you're going to hear conversation about them, you're probably in Sebastopol."

A woman helping to organize a fundraiser was given a list of things to buy for it, with the instructions:  "Gluten-free as much as possible, non-dairy options, sugarless desserts if you can find them, try and get organic veggies."  She sent a frantic text to her supervisor:
"All the dairy-free things have lots of sugar!  There are gluten-free things but they have dairy!  The sugarless desserts taste like cardboard and the gluten-free bread is sad.  All I have so far are carrots and some weird g-f seaweed chips.  I can't do this!!  HELP!!!!" 

A workshop instructor told me she heard her neighbor say to her fourteen year-old son:  "Don't 'namaste' me, young man."

Me:  "So you know what polyamory is, right?"
Guy, shaking his head:  "No."
Me, a bit incredulous:  "Seriously?  You don't know what it is?"  Pause.  "Yeah, I think I've been living in Sebastopol for too long."

I posted a status update asking people to like my Facebook blog page, as it had been hovering at 999 likes for too long and was driving me crazy.  Pheonix, the owner of Milk and Honey, liked the page which was very fitting since I had started the update with:  "For the love of the goddess..."  She became the 1000th page like.  So go to Milk and Honey!  If you haven't been there, go because it is the quintessential Sebastopol store.  I say this as an experienced source, because when my sister owned it customers would come in and say:  "I can't go to Sebastopol without coming into Milk and Honey!"
(They also have beautiful stones, candles, statues, gifts, cards, etc. and from personal experience I can say conversation ranging from tarot readings to vagina emojis.)
