Tea

I have found that I can actually enjoy drinking hot tea. I didn't realize that when I lived in the Sandbox and drank it every day with my friends. I only drank it then because I had to. No, I just realized it today. I guess the difference is that I like drinking tea when it's cold outside, not when it's hot. And by cold I mean 70 degrees. And by hot I mean 127.

I still don't understand why everyone thought that hot tea could cool you off. It doesn't! It just makes you so much hotter when you already thought that you were going to die and that life couldn't get much more miserable.

Although I did pick up one bad habit. As much as I like hot tea apparently I only like it with a ridiculous amount of sugar. In the Sandbox they would fill the glass halfway with sugar first, then fill the rest with tea. Now that I'm drinking it out of regular sized coffee cups I'll have to cut back a little. If I end up with diabetes at the age of 25 you'll know why!

But it was a nice 'social' thing to do and in my time I would guesstimate that I drank around 300 glasses of hot tea with some of the sweetest women I've ever met and if it took a glass of tea to have a conversation then it was well worth it.
