Tea, the bachelor way

[jumperfucker]

Am I still technically a bachelor if I’m living with the person I’m involved with? I’ve never been able to work that out.

Anyway, boiled water for my morning tea using a sauce pan. Worked alright. Sort of. Well, no, not at all, actually.


Speaking of relationships, which one of you is responsible to the edit on this page? The one under the ‘ho-yay’ trope?

Jeez, guys. Can’t a bloke have a little privacy?

No?

Fine. :P

It wasn't me. I haven't had the time to edit tvtropes. I've barely had time to breathe.

Good on you for the tea- I think someone's taken my bloody mug again.

I hope you have a better day at work than I'm guaranteed to.

[jumperfucker]

Yeah, I was talking to let_us_trade last night, and it sounds like things are getting pretty nasty for you lot.

[salts-theway.livejournal.com]

Let me put it this way-I haven't been home, and all the updates I've posted have been from my mobile. I've also drunk more coffees and eaten less food in a 24 hour period than ever before...yeah,

[jumperfucker]

Jesus, go find yourself a bacon sandwich, stat!

[salts-theway.livejournal.com]

If I can. I'm also currently attempting to get let_us_trade to eat, also. Neither one of us feels like it, but I know that we'll work better (and faster, hopefully) fed.

[jumperfucker]

Have you even slept? I'll be heading into the surgery in a few hours. O_o

[salts-theway.livejournal.com]

For about 35 minutes, on my desk, on top of paperwork. So, technically, yes.

[jumperfucker]

Wow. I knew your line of work was dangerous, but it sounds amazingly unhealthy as well.

[salts-theway.livejournal.com]

It's only occasionally like this. I'm intending to sleep for about 20 hours the first weekend I have after this.

Today I'll probably be too busy to even check my phone.

[jumperfucker]

Man.

Lots of fluids, and try to avoid too much caffeine. You'll only wind up with blood pressure issues.

[salts-theway.livejournal.com]

I'll try to keep this in mind, thanks. I'm going to see if I don't have to drive today, so I can catch a few in the car.

[jumperfucker]

If I hear you've been driving today, I'll come down there myself.

[salts-theway.livejournal.com]

Haven't driven, yet. Still exhausted. Send food.


It's that bad. I'm changing my sleeping for 20 hours to sleeping for a week, if I can.

[jumperfucker]

You'd better be in bed right now.

[salts-theway.livejournal.com]

Not in bed, no. But I did get about 4 hours of sleep on my couch. Am now fetching coffee for the boss and myself.

[jumperfucker]

Well, that's better than nothing at least.

[my-croft.livejournal.com]

It was about time that page got updated.

[jumperfucker]

What, did you do that?

[my-croft.livejournal.com]

Did I say that?

[jumperfucker]

I don't know. Did you? O_o

[my-croft.livejournal.com]

No, I didn't.

Doesn't mean it wasn't me.

[jumperfucker]

So... it was, or it wasn't?

You're worse than S.

[my-croft.livejournal.com]

No, it wasn't.

Well, I'm smarter.

[jumperfucker]

No insults on my journal, please.

[my-croft.livejournal.com]

There wasn't any.

[jumperfucker]

It was getting that way.

[my-croft.livejournal.com]

I doubt it, but you're right: better be safe than sorry.

[ununpentium.livejournal.com]

Privacy? On LiveJournal? Good luck with that!

[falling-voices.livejournal.com]

Were you actually trying for subtlety? the two of you moved in together.

[narcomanic.livejournal.com]

I always defined bachelor as in "living alone and not married". So you've got one of the two, if you want to hang onto your bachelor...hood. (Bachelordom? Bachelority? Whatever.)

And good god, man, how do you survive without a proper kettle and tea? o.O

[alltoseek.livejournal.com]

Microwave.

Really, hot water is hot water.

Although, when I was living in Phoenix I really enjoyed sun tea. Maybe it was the long steep time in hot-but-not-boiling water.

[sussexdowns.livejournal.com]

Really, hot water is hot water.
Disagreed! I'm sure it's all in my head, but when my cat broke my kettle, i had to boil water in the microwave until I got a new one, and I swear it tasted different :( My cat and I Had Words. That was some not-delicious tea.

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

I agree! Microwaved water tastes weird. I can't define it, but it does.

[jumperfucker]

You heathen!

[ningen-demonai.livejournal.com]

Microwave.
OGod no, how could you ever suggest that? D:

[alltoseek.livejournal.com]

I'm starting to understand how consulting_detective feels :(

[jumperfucker]

Only on my journal could wank about tea spring up. :/

[alltoseek.livejournal.com]

And we haven't even touched on types, or brands, or God forbid, herbals

[sussexdowns.livejournal.com]

Religion.
Politics.
Football.
TEA.

And god said LET THERE BE WANK.

Awww, bb. Let us all settle our differences with internet hugs and virtual cups of tea brewed in our preferred styles ♥

[ningen-demonai.livejournal.com]

I really do love you but. But it's tea. :(

[narcomanic.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm ready to give you the benefit of the doubt. As long as you only use the microwave to heat the water, and not the way my Mom does tea. Which is, she fills a cup with lukewarm water from the tap, sticks a teabag in, and puts the whole contraption into the microwave for about five minutes. I give the resulting sludge a wide berth.

[sussexdowns.livejournal.com]

Jeez, guys. Can’t a bloke have a little privacy?
Bro, the two of you trolled fandom with rps about yourselves. I think the ship has sailed on this "privacy" of which you speak :D Your only hope now is the following scheme:

1) create ontd_sh
2) shift gossip mill toward someone/something else
3) ???
4) profit!

Re: the definition of 'bachelor'. Would you describe your flat as a pad? If yes, you are a bachelor. If no, probably not.

[sussexdowns.livejournal.com]

gdi, way to not allow unregistered usernames, lj! 1) should read "create ontd_sh".

[jumperfucker]

There's a way to cheat usernames. See cons_detective's profile. :D

[sussexdowns.livejournal.com]

Oh, that doesn't just change the output of existing usernames, you can use it to make nonexistant ones show up? Excellent! Thanks for the tip :)

[shel-chan.livejournal.com]

Yay for a South Park reference!! :D

But the fandom did rejoice!
