... yet another video post?

[hellzabeth]

So me being here again.

I do stuff like this when bored.

Might do it more often unless you guys get sick of seeing my ugly mug.

By which I mean my face, not my tea mug.

Bitches don't diss my tea mug.

PFFT! Your sister! XD

"We make the elderly walk the dogs here" LOL

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

She's a little odd, eh? XD

Yeah bitches, they're retired, they have the time. B| Ch'yeah.

Oh god your sister was so cute and adorable and then that laugh DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD:

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

That is most people's experiences of my sister. Like a siren, she looks nice on the outside then you get within three feet of her and she bites off your fingers.

[meg-inatree.livejournal.com]

;A;

[nenamoo.livejournal.com]

Now see, see! That laugh is why I never follow you into her room >_>;

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

I thought it was the high pitched squealing?

[nenamoo.livejournal.com]

Yes but I try to clense that from my mind =_=

I must teach you how to experience southern sweet tea, yes? Actually I better not. It's drunk cold. Fairly refreshing when it's a hot day.

The reason we make tea in pots in the states is because we make it for the family, at least in my area. We make lots, and lots and stick it in a pitcher in the fridge so that we have a nice, cheap, cool, caffeinated beverage for the whole family.

Since I'm the only one in my house who likes tea, I just grab a small box of Earl Grey and fix it properly, however. ;)

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

Iced tea? I don't like it, I tried some before. >> Sorry to disappoint there.

We make a lot for the family too, usually because when the family hears the kettle click on you can expect cries of "get me a cuppa!" etc, but with that you just put the teabags in the individual mugs and pour the hot water in like that, squeezing the teabags against the side with a spoon and throwing them away. A big pot is just... not usually found in every house.

Earl Grey is kind of expensive here, since Twinings are the company that make it generally. PG Tips are cheaper.

Like I said, it's mostly for summer when it's so hot and humid sweat won't even make it's way out of pores.

That's usually how I drink it. Unless I have a toothache. Then the tea bag is pushed up against my gums.

Eh, like I said. I'm the only one in the house so I go through the box rather slowly. My sugar, on the other hand...

Twilight summary=EPIC 
Your sister is very Higurashi indeed want one want one want one (my sister is... older)

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

Hehehe, thanks <333

Oh god it's scary. you can have her please (I pity you)

[aislingthegreat.livejournal.com]

We always use a teapot in my house! That's what they're there for!:D

Congratulations, you've just managed to summarise the "plot" of Twilight in 20 seconds.

Also, your accent is adorable orz...

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

We have this massive teapot in the cupboard that sits there and gathers dust. Everyone just pours straight from the kettle into the mugs.

"Sexy vampire." "You're an idiot for loving me /emo" "Bella, I will be the only sane character in the series until book 4 when I fall in love with your spawn. Who is 1 week old."

orz I-I know.

[revolutionjack.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we mostly use pots in my house too. ^^; If I'm just making for myself, I usually use the microwave, but how would you do it in England? :O

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

Mi... cro... wave...

*watches her grandmother turn in her grave*

1: get teabag and mug.
2: put teabag in mug.
3: boil kettle
4: pour hot water onto teabag in mug.
5: stir if you're impatient, pressing the teabag against the walls of the cup to get the tea out.
6: throw away tea bag.
7: add milk or sugar, however much you want. (I like it with lots of milk and two sugars because I'm a baby.)
8: drink.

Simple <3 Most people know how to make tea even if they don't drink it. It's a hospitality thing.

[revolutionjack.livejournal.com]

ORZ I'm sorry!! I drink coffee more, and that's the one I brew properly. *hides*

Oooh~ Thanks for the process! Lol, actually that's how my dad makes it. I suppose I should follow he makes it then. Err, I don't think I've ever added milk or sugar to tea. O.o Are you supposed to?

>>; I'll have to see if there's a stove in the hall at uni otherwise I'm sticking to my coffeepot and microwave.

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

XD it's fine my gran was just really fussy about tea.

You don't have to, some people drink it straight black, but just as many have it with milk. I know you don't add milk to ice tea but same principle, I guess? It's all about choice really. Even fewer people have sugar in their tea, I'm just a sweet-tooth. And adding loads of sugar is seen to be babyish so I try to cut down when I'm in polite company but bleh.

Why not buy an electric kettle? Way easier than a stove one.

[revolutionjack.livejournal.com]

My mother and grandmother are the /exact/ same way about coffee. XDD

Huh. Yeah, I take my coffee regular, which is sort of babyish, I suppose (it seems the same stereotype is at work, the more sugar you add the more childish it seems). With tea? I dunno. I started off drinking green tea, and never put anything in it, so when I switched to breakfast tea I never added anything either.

Because ones that aren't crap cost 35 pounds-ish over here. ><; Even the crap ones are about 15 pounds. /is a broke uni student.

[oozaru-angel.livejournal.com]

Laaaaaaate but commenting anyway.

Using a teapot seems like so much unnecessary work... I just pour the water into the cup, do the whatsit with the teabag and then add milk and sugar...

Also, dear Lord, you are so English.

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

I appreciate late comments as much as early ones <3

Exactly. They're heavy and it's hard to clean them too (since you shouldn't use soap on them, less you ruin the flavour of the tea) so I just don't bother.

I know alright shush. orz

[thera7.livejournal.com]

I have it on good authority from Mr George Banks of 17 Cherry Tree Lane, Mary Poppins World, that the Boston Harbour renders tea undrinkable. Nyah. And yes, the finger-quirk is just not worth the trouble.

Um, I'm guessing you didn't reply to my last comment because I babbled too much, but as a fellow manga/anime addict and Heta-holic, will you be atteding the London MCM Expo this October? It's a great hotspot for Heta-holics - I'm cosplaying Pirate England.

Oh my god, you act and look so much like a real-life friend of mine it's quite scary. Your hair is darker and longer, but other than that... long-lost twin alert...
And yes, there is a very strong resemblance between you and your mum. My resemblances are strange, becuase everyone says I look just like my dad, and then I get mistaken for his wife. Bizarre.

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

Pfff hahaha. He would know? Finger quirk actually happens by accident when I'm drinking other drinks from a bottle, but when holding tea it's painful ><;;

I might have skimmed over it while half asleep. I check my comments before work and that's at 6am so. ^^;;; Idk if I can attend this year, since money's tight. I wish I could go though, it's always fun. I went to the May one too this year, met all the Heta-holics then.

How creepy. I used to imagine I had a long lost twin somewhere. XD

[tuulensisko.livejournal.com]

- You are totally cute. xD And so English.

- xD Lol random Twilight reenactment. It does look a bit like that sparkly skin scene though, with your skin going or white on the video.

- It's funny because it's embarrassing. 0:>

- Your sister is cute too. xD A bit scary too. Maybe it's that Rika impression. Overly cute people are creepy. She pronounces Japanese really well though.

- Omg, you look a lot like your mum. And you do smile similarly. Damn your whole family is cute.



And I'm glad the "problem" is better now. ;_;b

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

- I'm hearing that a lot recently. XD

- I am so bloody pale it's depressing. .___. Especially when standing next to Nena who has like a permanent tan.

- Glad you are enjoying my idiocy. XD <3

- She acts cuter than she is, methinks. I'll tell her what you think of her Japanese pronounciation, she'll be pleased.

- It's a genetic disease, passed down amongst us all. We cannot escape the cute.



Thanks for the support bb <3333
