Nice start, but a little shaky on the dismount.

Know what's exciting? I have TEA. After a week with two term papers due and NO TEA, this dramatically changes my inner landcape.

ETA: And oddly, I'm not getting comment emails on this entry.

What the hell is she even talking about? I mean SRSLY. I can't be assed to follow the LexiconGate.

Oh, dude, PREACH IT! Give me all of the massive, convoluted fucking Harry Potter wank in the WORLD over racewank.

BRING ON THE ETAs! BRING THEM! I need more about how suing RDR is like Hiroshima.

[info]white_serpent actually made a good case for that sort of thing. That is, the difference between race wank and wank that mentions race.

So, where as srs bzns thoughts on how that one kid from HSM has ugly hair is UNFUNNY, a wank where RDR Books somehow compares it's situation with WB it would possibly be kind of funny.

Until someone made it unfunny. But I'm bitter and suspicious like that.

Know what I miss? Not-Bob. And trolls on deleterius. And people apologizing for bad grammer. Pseuicides. FUN THINGS.

It's so true, some one would ruin it for everyone.

Well, she started out talking about LexiconGate, but it quickly devolved into whatever she thinks is likely to save her from the hyenas. So it doesn't make sense to pretty much everyone.

Ooh! Ooh! What kind of tea do you drink?

(I, uh. Like to talk about tea with people. SO.)

It really depends. I do most of my tea-shopping when I visit friends in Victoria, BC, which still thinks it's the centre of the Western British Empire and thus has lots of delicious tea. I'm a big fan of black teas, mostly assam or spiced assam.

However, I'm in a small two-person dorm room and keeping a teaball clean or maintaining a teapot is just way too much hassle, so this year I buy a Twinings Variety Pack and pick my tea depending on my mood. Earl Grey when I'm up; Lady Grey when I'm down or nauseous; English Breakfast when I've just woken up; Irish Breakfast for all-nighters. I tend to go through Lady Grey first, then Irish Breakfast, then English Breakfast, so then I have to drink three cups of Earl Grey before I can buy a new box. I tried chamomile for a few months to combat insomnia, but it doesn't really work so well.

Ooh, I'm definitely with you on the Lady Grey thing. Yum! I get that pack occasionally, but I mostly stick with the loose-leaf, though I totally understand about it being a hassle in a dorm. Lately I've been falling back on bags just because I've been busy enough to not be able to keep up with keeping my teaball clean :(

I've actually banned myself from ordering any more tea because my cupboards are full and I have to use it all up first. Heh. If you ever want more variety, republicoftea.com has some FANTASTIC bagged teas in a huge variety and a bunch even come in sample sets so you can try several at once. I just bought like four sets for christmas gifts for my family :3
