The Joys of Pizza

[same_sky]

We ordered pizza tonight for the first time since we moved. Do you understand what a luxury it is to pick up a phone, state your name and address and have a pizza at your door minutes later? Oh, sure, there was pizza delivery in Morehead. Pizza delivery has long been my standard for how far out of town I want to live--far enough to not have neighbors; close enough for food deliveries. I'm just saying.. it's not a new advancement in technology for me or anything. The incredible part is that we didn't have to have an extended discussion on how to get here. They didn't ask. They didn't call. They didn't lecture me about the evils of sharing an address with someone else* and how 911 gets really upset by that--I remember writing about that once but I can't be bothered to look up when it was. It was a peaceful, tasty pizza experience. That's somewhere near the bottom of the list of things I need, though--someone to make my pizza-buying less stressful. Yikes.

*Since we moved out, my parents have actually gone down and filed for a new address--couldn't really have someone else's mail delivered to their mailbox. We didn't get around to it in three years, but it just took a form to get the job done. Why must I procrastinate all the time? It's silly.

Do the joys of pizza ever end? I think not!

Unfortunately, we have a pizza place two minutes from our apartment and they WILL NOT DELIVER. Bastards. ;P I don't have a working car to drive and pick it up either, and I'm far too lazy to walk. So we usually have a situation to deal with when I order pizza, lol. But good for you for getting it delivered! :P

Ahh, those evil evil pizza undeliverers! They should be carried out and shot! :)

Are you talking about the change of address form? I got free coupons sent to my address after I filled that out, which was cool.

Things got kind of screwed up when my dad left though becuase suddenly ALL our mail started going to Delaware. We caught on after 3 days of no mail. So then he filled out a form and suddenly all our mail and all HIS mail was coming here. It so screwed. But we got more coupons out of it :)

We got coupons when we moved, too! Great fun, although I don't think we've actually used any. Anyway, no, those aren't the forms I'm talking about. We literally shared an address with my parents because we lived kinda in their backyard. It was a new space when we moved there, and I was still receiving mail at that address from when I lived with my parents, so it was just really easy to let it slide on getting an official address for the place. :) That's one of the reasons that delivery people had a hard time figuring out where we lived, although not the biggest reason.. it was a little complicated.

Now real luxury would be to be able to order SWEDISH pizza over here. That would be the coolest ever... too bad it'll never happen.

Nope, I'm afraid not. I don't dislike Swedish pizza, actually, but it's just.. un-American. Not in the patriotic way, but it just doesn't really strike me as something that people would ever really catch on to here. Too flopsy, too many weird things on it. Pizza is actually the number one thing (also, numbers two through ten) thing that my M misses most about Sweden, besides people, of course. I gather that you're also missing "real" pizza? ;)

[big-bubba.livejournal.com]

Yes, I sure do. (So does C actually, even though it's not "real" pizza to her.) I'm sure it would never catch on over here, since you can't really eat it with your hands, and that seems to be a requirement this side of the puddle. But the taste... mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
