I'm digging this, but a little confused....
Maybe I'm dumb, but why is it people from the couch? (just a random thing to say? Pop culture reference I missed?)

 So many positive reactions, very glad my little creative outlet is being enjoyed.
As for "the couch" meaning, it's sort of a metaphor for drug culture in general... there wasn't really a pop-culture reference or slang there, I just drew a parallel between drug users and the fact that they tend to gather around/on couches.

4. Susan Greene Did somebody say Starbucks? With all the warmth and energy of a cup of chai tea, Susan Greene is a welcomed addition to the order of The Couch. She’s elegant, irresistibly charming, and has a sweet tooth for drugs that only her closest friends know about. Susan finds herself caught in a constant balancing act between being a health-conscious liberal, and exploring the fuck out of her body with drugs. Susan is the kind of girl you met through a friend, and immediately believed to be some sort of trick. Such a well-mannered, health-conscious woman surely doesn’t get stoned off her ass in her free time, does she? After about a day or two of smoking with her, you’ll feel bad you ever had your doubts. Simply put, Susan is good at being what she needs to be when she needs to be it. When she smokes, she watches old stand-up acts of Cheech and Chong or Dave Chappelle while laughing like a child. Catch her sober, however, and she’s likely to be studying for a biochem exam while simultaneously talking to her mother on the phone and cooking a nice salmon and chives dish. Despite never going to the gym, Susan maintains a slim and healthy physique. You attribute this to genetics, but it’s probably tied to her field-mouse diet of leafy greens, string beans, and everything in between. She always has money but never brags about it, and never overspends. Miss Greene doesn’t buy drugs; they fall into her lap. She keeps a cozy home, and everyone who comes over knows that they’re trading drugs for a warm meal and a soft chair. Naturally, all of the other couch shamans happily gravitate towards Susan’s hospitality. While she is great at being elegant and adaptable, there’s more to her than meets the eye. When she consumes alcohol, for instance, Susan engages in heavy gossip about anyone and everyone that comes to mind. When tripping, she rapidly fluctuates between a tranquil soul and a harsh critic of all but herself. After some time of getting to know her, it becomes evident that Susan doesn’t really do drugs, the drugs do Susan. Regardless, she never means harm, and that banana bread now sitting on your plate more than makes up for the fact that she unknowingly insulted everyone in the room ten minutes prior.

-------------------- "I have no way of knowing whether you, who eventually will read this record, like stories or not. If you do not, no doubt you have turned these pages without attention. I confess that I love them. Indeed, it often seems to me that of all the good things in the world, the only ones humanity can claim for itself are stories and music; the rest, mercy, beauty, sleep, clean water and hot food (as the Ascian would have said) are all the work of the Increate. Thus, stories are small things indeed in the scheme of the universe, but it is hard not to love best what is our own—hard for me, at least."

After reading all of them, I think the one that my friends see me most is as Susan Greene, #4.
