h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Here lies the confession of a sworn champion of coffee: I now drink tea as well.

Of course, these kind of radical changes in your life like this don't come from nowhere. My first love showed me the path to tea through her enjoyment of it.

Aside: The problem with losing someone you love (for any reason) is not that everything reminds you of that person--it's that you remind you of that person.

My favorite kind of tea is chinese black tea, which is real convenient because you can get it in the same volume as that Lipton stuff for less price. Not only that it tends to be good even in tea bags.

Why do I get the feeling I'm just sort of rambling on?

Welcome to my abode!

The nice thing about people you love, even if you end up losing them later is that they have the magical power to persuade you to like the things they like, even against your own inclinations.

So even though I may have discovered the wonderful comfort of warm brie and pumpernickel bread on my own, I'll never eat it without first thinking of the boyfriend who introduced the combination to me.

So. More rambling, and I'm not even talking about tea!

Heck who needs to talk about tea. The interesting part of life is not that you like something, it's why you like it. I think we need more of these conversations where we drop the facades that we carry around, and actually start learning about other people.

Brie and pumpernickel, I'll have to try that one

Have you ever had an olive and cream cheese sandwich?

Not yet

Since I'm not a giant olive fan, I don't often have them around, but you know, next time I find both olives and cream cheese hanging around in my fridge, I surely will!

not the black olives, the green pickled kind
