TEA DAMMIT.

So far, the best thing about today is that I received a box of tea that I ordered from Upton Tea Imports. I am currently drinking something very delightful and caramelly. I am also ignoring the fact that the acronym for the tea company is UTI, which I would almost certainly have to say something terrible about if I noticed it.

In addition to the caramelly thing, I have:
- a congou with rose petals in.
- two varieties of assam without anything else added in.
- an assam with spice and vanilla.
- something called "monk's blend". I have forgotten what it is, so it will be very exciting to drink.

They also carry a chai with cayenne pepper in, which I was all gung-ho about, until I realized it was decaffeinated. I am suspicious of this. I will likely try it anyway, though, since you can get practically any of their teas in little five cup 'sample packs' for a dollar or 1.50. They're like tea imps. I find that practically irresistible.

Best Back-Handed Compliment Evar.

I'm just remembering this afternoon something that never fails to crack my shit up. One day, when I was in high school (or perhaps junior high), for some reason a lovely and stupid girl was totally unloading her personal woes on me. At the height of this bitch session about how everyone betrayed her and treated her badly, she looked at me and said in perfect sincerity:
"I envy you, because you'll always know that your friends aren't your friends because of your looks or your money."

Boy, that's as true today as it ever was then. (Some of you may have heard this story before, and I apologize for boring you with it again. To me, this is funny every time.)
