War of the beverages

It's pretty late (because I'm trying to work. Trying.) and so I think my sense of rationality and stuff is a little bit skewed. Hence when I saw a poll on 'Tea or Coffee', I had a bit of a mini crisis.

Ever since I was little, I've always had an opinion on this matter.

I remember the days when I would have fervently argued for coffee, clearly being the greater drink. I couldn't understand how anyone could bring themselves to drink tea, it tasted so bad. Then one day (in the 6th form Common room) someone reminded me of a forgotten fact. Tea is the British English way. ( I can't really speak for Scot/Ire/Wale, because I don't know what you lot drink. But Sam the eagle has made me always want to say 'The British way', so I'm probably going to and that's probably final.)

Even when I was small and liked neither drink, I had heard that tea was the drink of the England. It had taken a little effort (from my lovely friend Joanne. Thanks mate.) to get me to start drinking coffee, so should I not give tea this same chance?

I (correctly) guessed that after about seven cups, tea should become a drinkable drink.

Though it was tough at first, I pushed through and became a drinker of tea.

There have been ups and downs, fluctuations in how much I preferred coffee but recently I feel I've reached that point where (If I'm making it myself, at Uni ) I would almost say I liked them equally. They're different drinks, they serve different purposes. Coffee can wake you up, make you feel slightly more alive at the book ends of the day. A more milky coffee is also a calming drink (although it doesn't wake you up.) Tea is a drink for relaxing. And those times when you just want to feel a little more English, or can't be bothered with a cafetiere.

Why should I choose between these two drinks? It's like choosing between two really good friends. Choosing coffee feels like I'm betraying my "English is the best way ever" part of me, but choosing tea just feels wrong.

If the war of the hot caffeine drinks ever comes, I guess this is one fight I'll have to sit out. When it's all over I'll come out of my cave supporting whichever team won while quietly morning about the loss of the other (and the destruction of so much civilisation.)

I feel like a deserter, but I don't even know which side I'm deserting.

 

Sunny spells

So, the sun is shining (Or it was earlier. The moon is probably shining atm.) the day was warm and winter seems to have disappeared.
Happy times.
I love how the sun makes stuff happy. I love Winter and Autumn, but Spring/Summer (Its sort of merges into one really) does have the sun. Yaay. spread the summer/Spring smileyness guys! (And yay for links!)

Everyone was sad

This blog entry was written over a period of a lot of hours, being as I have a lot of work to do. Hence the changes in perspectives and slightly weird format/tenses ect....

It was also written between about 12-5am, so don't take it too seriously....

4)Well apparently this has been a bit of a downer week for everybody at at least some point during the week.
What coincidental timing. I don't have a reason or a cure, but hey I guess everyone has to be down sometimes.
I suppose everyone has their own way of dealing with it.It can feel like you're the only one feeling down, so everyone being sad at the same time could actually be encouraging in a weird way. I kind of missed it by afew days so I don't really know.
It feels good to be back on a more positive note again, and this week is finally over. Hooray, less impending deadlines! 
 1)

I feel pretty calm right now. It feels good.

It feels like ages since I've felt calm about anything.

I've had a pretty rubbishy week this week. I've felt fairly stressed out and a bit negative. It's probably not entirely over yet, but right now I actually feel pretty good.

Enough coffee, a lack of sleep, actually starting work, who knows what the deciding factors of calmness are?

(I think the amount of coffee I've drank, and the lack of sleep (3 hours sleep. I wonder what my minimum is?) could be pretty big factors).

3)(Usually Freemans mind is one of the best cheer-up things for me. It doesn't matter how you feel, this makes you feel better. Even if you're already happy. This guy is having one of the worst days, and he just plods along ranting at the world and its incompetence while still finding time to digress into other amusing topics. Gordan freeman is never sad, only annoyed and trigger happy. Unfortunately I already re watched the whole series, so it is temporarily unavailable to me.)

2)It's was 1 am, one of those times when its harder to feel stressed out and negative, because if you've had enough caffeine time seems to slow down a bit. Finishing that bit earlier or later doesn't make that much difference because the next deadline is sleep, which a very flexible deadline. It's dark, and there's no one around.

So if anyone is feeling negative, down or stressed out just keep plodding on.

There's pretty much alway some good times to look forward to, even if you don't know what they are right now

so I guess my take on being sad is to just keep going untill you are no longer sad. 

 

Sometimes I do actually feel like this -->

One of those weeks.

On a side note, now that I feel like I have words again... it's nice to see painis cupcakes finally get his just desserts, even if the beggining was a little sad.
