So, with my 101 goals in 1001, one is to try 18 different teas. Thankfully, The Merc has a wide variety of bulk tea to help me in this endeavor. Today, I tried Dragon Ball White Tea ( Read more... )

A few days ago, I befriended an old friend I am in contact with on FB. While FB is what I use for physical, in the moment statuses, I used this journal here for, well, playing around and as, a, you know, journal.
