Tea, anyone?

So, i get looked at in a very peculiar way when i tell people i don't actually drink tea or coffee because i don't like them...or at least i have done. Recently i've started to encounter the odd person who actually agrees with me.

I thought i'd raise this up with you lot, so here's some of my thoughts on coffee and tea:

Lots of people who do drink them say they 'got used to the taste'...why would you bother?! This one sounds a lot like conforming to what is considered the 'norm'

BOTH are bad for you! You can be addicted to them - why would you constantly drink something that's bad for you?

Some people have to have it really milky, so they can hardly taste the tea or coffee, what's the point in that?! Thats just watered down hot milk with a nasty aftertaste!

Coffee gives you coffee breath - it exists, i've smelt it.

They actually dehydrate you, it doesn't even make sense! A DRINK that dehydrates you?

So...yet again i turn to you, oh friends who are reading this. I pose a question or two to you! Do you drink tea or coffee? If yes, then have you always liked it? Do you have anything to add?!

I look forward to hearing from you - especially those who don't drink it - you're the better people!

Gerbils have nightmares!

A good few months ago i ended up with two gerbils as a result of bad sex ed in the pet shop my bro got his two 'guys' from. I didn't really have a huge choice in the matter, it was a case of 'will you have the girls at yours because if you don't there's nowhere for them to live'.

I now love them. I really do. I'm going to be heartbroken when they die!

But today one of them had a nightmare, was very funny. I was sitting reading, and all of a sudden Perry (mummy gerbil) shot out of her bed to the opposite side of the tank and was tapping her feet (which means she's scared). After about two minutes she checked out the tank and then went back to bed. Awww, bless her!

So there you have it. Gerbils have nightmares!!!
