Go hide in the blades of that grass...

You know, when I get home from work tonight I'll have someone waiting for me. He said so himself. I guess he'll come at me with a knife while I take a shower... hrm, isn't that a movie? I have images of a shower curtain being ripped to shreds now. My beautiful shower curtain! With dolphins!

I drink a lot of tea. This morning I had two cups and yesterday I had one. Still, it's not so much as the English. They seem to think that a cup of tea is the ideal solution to any man's problems. "Got a bit of trouble with money? Have a cuppa." "Chased by a lion? Have a cuppa." "Got brutally gang-raped and can't walk? Have a cuppa, dear."
I'm not convinced. When I have moneytrouble it takes more than a cup of tea to solve it. Of course... I do believe in the power of chocolate, so maybe I shouldn't talk... Mmm... chocolate...

When I get home tonight I'll have my English boyfriend waiting for me (haha, never written that before) - hopefully without a sliced shower curtain. I'm fairly sure he'll have a cup of tea ready though. Even his dog drinks tea. Honestly. "Could you put the cup down on the floor? He won't give up easily." I stared at him in amazement and he said "he's an English dog - what do you expect". English people are weird.
Did you know that the word "weird" comes from "wyrd"? Or that "wyrd" means the same thing as weird, which is "odd", and comes from "Urd"? Urd is one of the norns in Norse mythology. No idea what a norn is? Watch Disney's Hercules and the three crazy old ladies there. That's it basically.
