s. What a thrill! Really, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it! A "thrill" describes anything that causes a sudden feeling of great excitement." "Don’t knock it " is an excellent colloquial expression which means "don’t criticize it." We like the same stuff. A critical word that refers to things in general. It’s the All-American love story. Writ large. An old expression which literally means written large, and that generally refers to anything portrayed in a large or dramatic fashion. On the marquee, big letters; "Us." A permanent canopy or sign, often of metal and glass hung over an entrance to a hotel or theatre. I mean, he still pushes all my buttons. If a person "pushes your buttons," they easily irritate or upset you (though if said in a positive tone, it can mean to sexually excite!). We could talk, or not talk forever, and still find things to not talk about. An amazing description of the marriage between two people who have absolutely nothing in common or nothing to say to each other! I like to come up here and enjoy what I call the solitude of what I call a blank canvas. "Solitude" is the state of being alone, usually in peace and quiet.

Chai tea, lattes and soy milk are all trendy drinks served at Starbucks (Note they all function as a long adjective in the sentence above!) And I had my Mac, and then I look over and she’s reading J. Crew. A "Mac" refers to an Apple Macintosh computer, and J. Crew is a well-known brand of clothes sold through a catalog (booklet). That’s so weird, because I was such a huge J.
