I stopped drinking coffee a while ago, which makes me pretty proud of myself--I'm a cocky ex-coffee drinker, just like I was a cocky ex-smoker until the novelty wore off. Now that it's getting colder, though, I've been wanting a warm drink in the mornings. I've been getting tea, but I'm always really worried that people will see me with my cup and think I'm drinking coffee. So I'm always playing with the label of the tea bag, or readjusting it so it's visible. I turn to the people near me, "Mmmm. This is good TEA. I can really appreciate a good cup of TEA, can't you?"

I've realized that I've become similar to my least favorite group of people--the one's who don't have cable. The always drive me crazy because it's not enough for them to just tell you they haven't seen Six Feet Under, they have to say, "I haven't seen that...I don't have cable." As if no televisions exist outside of their house. Like catching a TV show at a friend's house is a completely irrational concept. "I've never even seen a TV outside of my own living room." I mean, I don't eat meat, but I know what a steak looks like.
