Sorry work's a little crazy today. My friend Bruce( fellow teacher) has a super sick kid and so I have all his kids plus mine today so my room is packed to the gills and I'm doing a lot of crowd control.

Hallo!

I have just tried green tea.

I have never even had tea before, but I decided to go straight to the Japanese green tea. It looked similar in colour to Mountain Dew, so how could it not be good?? Um. It doesn't taste like Mountain Dew. No. It tastes weird. It has burst all my romantic, naive, pre-concieved notions about how the pretty greenness should taste, and left me completely, wholly disappointed.

I may not recover from this.

So... if I don't see you ever again... have a good life... *sniffle*

do they give you riot gear and a water cannon when you're dealing with that many MSG? 'cos i have to say, i'd not be wanting to go too near without =S

American Gods is quite the thing RIMG ^^ although i think i might have gotten more from it if i knew America better. Still, it'll let me make an easy theme for the planned bike trip when my dad retire's xD

edit green tea isn't a great place to start a love for the drink HK, well, depending on what type you try. Perhaps a fruit-flavoured green, orange and lotus flower is quite nice, and not too strong would be a good place to start? for tea drinking in general, you'd probably find a breakfast tea, with milk, or sugar(yech), most palatable as a non-tea drinker ^^ then maybe try the bergamot flavoured tea's, Earl Grey or Lady Grey. think the nicest tea i ever tried was a Bergamot flavoured green tea, in a little chocolate shop in Edinburgh. they've got a menu of tea's six pages long, then even more of hot-chocolate's xD keep going back and trying something else off the menu ^^ i'll work my way through it eventually, even the £20 a pot one's xD

Gods are great. But the heart is greater, for it is from the heart they come, and to the heart they shall return.

If it is colored like Mountain Dew, it had damn well better be Mountain Dew. Period. :)

I don't think you can die from drinking green tea, unless you drink too much like that lady from the radio contest and drown yourself.

'cause the Roman Gods up to that point were crap. Jeff, the god of biscuits, and Simon, the god of hair-dos.

Um green tea os full of anit oxidants and is good for you...so smile Hell's Kitten you've done something good for yourself today. You've fortified your immune system, increased heart protection, and discovered why tea is served in tiny cups ( so there's not very much of it you have to choke down)

I have decided that growing up sucks, and I wish to tender my resignation as an adult.

Edit: tea=icky

I think nighttime is dark so you can imagine your fears with less distraction.

HK, I'm right there with you on the tea. I would be utterly disappointed to try something that looked like Mt. Dew and tasted like tea. Blech.

The only way I can stomach tea is with milk and sugar. If I have to put so much other stuff it in to make it palatable, maybe I should just avoid it altogether.

Tea should be cold, with added sugar and a little bit of mint.

I have though about adding a green tea bag to my usual mix when making sweet tea.

In the beginning the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and is widely considered as a bad move.

Choke????? Tea is good! Especially with honey and/or sugar (never heard of putting milk in it, that just sounds weird). That, and as has been mentioned, it is good for you. (Especially for strange people like me that don't drink water....water is nasty) I usually go through a pitcher or two a day of iced tea, as well as a couple cups of hot tea.

I will admit that tea can be an acquired taste, but it is one of the healthiest drinks that I've found palatable.
