Lorraine is a badass. At first I started chatting with her and was worried about her working late alone at Orange Leaf (a not-as-new-as-I-thought FroYo place on the Upper West Side), but as soon as I got to know more about her my fears were assuaged.
First of all, it was so funny to find out that Lorraine's second job is at Insomnia! (She does NOT know Joe R. since not only does she work on the Upper EAST Side location, she didn't even know the Upper West Side location existed!)
While Lorraine has these two jobs (and some of my favorite kinds of dessert establishments -- at some point she used the word "discounts" -- it's important to have friends in the right places!), she is studying to be a personal trainer. She was so tickled by the irony. Studying at Kingsborough, she'd even be willing to join the police force since she'd have enough credits. Cool, huh? (Back to the "friends in the right places" thing)
Lorraine is trained in Filipino Martial Arts, Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and boxing.
Bad. Ass.
She also rides a Fixie bike... which she had to explain to me. Here's a video to give you an idea of what it's like.
The most important thing to find out, of course, is what her favorite froyo flavor is! Peanut butter was her first choice, but they didn't currently have it -- her next go-to was Pineapple which she finds refreshing and thirst quenching.
It was important to her to note that at Insomnia, her favorite cookie is the peanut butter chocolate.
