"I want a life, a house and a tea cozy. I don't even know what one is, but I want one."

God, being a White Sox fan is painful. Lately, I can't even look at the scores without cringing. :p

Tea time was fun time today. So. Much. Food! I'm still stuffed beyond belief. Random thoughts that came out of the afternoon:

Tea is actually quite good, when it's actually done correctly. (and with cream and sugar) Not quite as addictive as boba, but definitely not as bad as I'd previously allowed myself to believe.

I think that clotted cream is not quite my thing--I had some on a scone, and the scone was yummy, but I don't think that had anything to do with the clotted cream. ::shrug:: This is probably a good thing, though, what with my ongoing cheese addiction.

Before today, I think I'd all but forgotten how to be around women. It wasn't too difficult to slip back into it, because there was a time when I'd hang out with all-girl groups pretty often. But, I suddenly realize that I've been spending pretty much *all* of my time around men for several years, and my life lacks most anything resembling girl-talk. I wouldn't necessarily say that I'm worse off for it, and anybody who knows much about me knows that I have a huge aversion to chick drama in general, but it's interesting that I landed at this stage without taking any real notice.

Chicks are also not as scary as I'd previously allowed myself to believe. I still have to remind myself every now and then that the new ladies I meet are *not* going to start venting about what a heinous bitch I am the minute my back is turned. (it's happened more than once before, so my paranoia isn't completely irrational) But everyone was very sweet this afternoon. And now, the healing process can begin. ::laughs::

Being asked if I had any children was a little terrifying--I'm not even married, and I'm too broke to even have a reasonably pretty wedding, much less support a child. :p Having kids sounds pretty terrifying overall, at this point in my life, but maybe that's due to the silent influence of the folks I know that might fit in nicely at childfree. :)

Anyway, I went to the store earlier and got a bunch of food, and I'm actually trying to plan out dinners for the week, so I quit eating such junky food all the time. Having a full-time job has made me pretty lazy about the whole cooking thing.

Speaking of lazy, I still haven't cleaned the kitchen. ::eyeroll:: Bleh.

Being a CWS fan is not as bad as being a Mariners fan, this season. :-P

Hah, ouch.
That's what I was gonna say.

Weren't they the best team(record wise) that didn't make the playoffs last year?

LOL, you guys do have a point. At least there's some consistency in the suckitude on the part of the Mariners this year, though--the Sox, on the other hand, keep getting my hopes up, only to deftly snatch defeat from the jaws of victory time and time again. :p

Me personally, I don't want to have kids, but some of these childfree people are nuking futs. They are some of the best examples of "cannot get along outside of the internet" I've seen in awhile.

Yeah, I know a person or three that actually participates in that community, and they are perfectly nice people, but some of the other folks in that group are *really* militant about it. (but then, that's probably true of a lot of communities)

I tried tea recently; however, I don't think tea is tea without tapioca anymore... I'm so addicted to teh bubblies.

I like childfree. I've been a member on and off twice.
