Jasmine is nice, but I go through swings between craving it and wanting a higher quality tea. sweatdrop
Nuri I'm partial to Teavana; I have an entire shelf devoted to tea and infusions in my kitchen. Davit loves the raspberry black, I'm still looking for a favorite. They seem wonderful.
I'm biased towards Floating Leaves because I know how often their stock circulates and I know how the tea is stored (thus I can vouch for freshness- they actually were kind enough to allow me to inspect their containers).
TatteredAngel Yay car! As long as you work on the attitude. I think it was akin to waking a teen male up early on a Saturday to do housework- if that makes any sense to anyone.
Wouldn't class it as "breed". More like Family.

It's just a different personality than I am used to. Madrona and I were very close and she was a bit more mature than the new one. A bit more easy going too.
I think she placed more value on comfort than style. He's a bit high strung as well.
We'll see how he feels after this weekend.

BlueRoseTorn TeaDidikai So I met my new car today. I pick him up tomorrow. He's... got a bit of an attitude problem, but seems like a nice guy. Congrats! I'm sure he'll turn out just fine, once that adjustment phase is over. Gonna post pictures? If people really want. confused

I wonder what the personality on a Scion tC+ would be like. Hopefully I can find out soon. whee
Good luck on getting him to settle down, Tauruses may not be the sportiest car, but the engine packs a wallop.

patch99329 Good luck nuri! I look forward to seeing what you come with. Will you be using the same calendar every year?
Nope, because the Athenian calendar changes every year -- it's more lunar based, and in 4 year cycles.
But also more practical reasons: I'm trying out a Demetrian calendar published by Jennifer Rief, that is tuned to the Mediterranean agricultural calendar. I was thinking about modifying it for Illinois cycles, but I'm attempting it unmodified. Demeter is a Greek goddess for a reason, after all, and Reif's book is also full of the spiritual meanings that I can connect to.
Even in that case, I'm modifying her dates to fit the Athenian calendar if there is overlap.
I'm also working with a bunch of invented festivals, that were put together by a Dionysian Mystery group that went defunct. Since none of the materials I'm using are really oathbound anymore, I'm using discretion in releasing them. I won't post their rituals, but the festivals they created. Sure, why not!
I'm hoping that this works out, so that I can just move the dates next year, rather than starting from scratch.
And if I need to modify the Demetrian festivals? That's going to be an even bigger challenge next year.

TeaDidikai Romanus I wonder what the personality on a Scion tC + would be like. Hopefully I can find out soon. whee Good luck on getting him to settle down, Tauruses may not be the sportiest car, but the engine packs a wallop. My experience is that the make and model do not account for the personality any more than being a US citizen and female accounts for my personality. He needs his oil changed and he also needs to have a belt replaced. But other than that- he's warming up. lately, i've found Fords to be settling down a lot. or at least more so then those "born" in the 90's. but that might also be because most of my experience has been heresay from people and their vehicles, and certain people i hung out with had very, ahem, cocky trucks.
heart personally, i'm getting closer and closer with my Glory. she's such a sweet thing, even though i was (and to some extent still am) a bit partial to Toyota Echos.
*Glory is an '03 Ford Focus Sedan, with the best shade of blue!
and yes, Tea! please post pictures. i would love to see him!
*EDIT: gah, so many edits. what is his name, btw Tea?

He's a 2001... maybe he'll mellow in another couple years.

And his name is Teriq.
I bought him a necklace and chatted with him. He was happy until I had him speed out onto a sharp corner and then I accidentally called him Madrona. sweatdrop It was like calling the name of an ex in bed. I'm in hot water now.
