...I drink a giant organic coffee thing called 'thingie' really by the local coffeeshop, which is sort of a double red-eye, made with all dark coffee, and I put in a ton of organic half-and-half and it lasts all day...I forgot the terms for it since i had gotten electrocuted and spoken speech is often a little iffy for me, so they have been calling it thingie for me for years, and are very kind if I don't recall the right term, if there's a new worker or something...

...I drink a lot of water, and when I am in Europe or on a train I drink tea with milk and sugar, and at home i own a ton of nice organic tea, but seldom drink any: it's like a pastlife memory of "must have tea here for guests", but i never have any guests or tea...! I don't drink soda or any of that yucky chemical stuff...we have a couple of those Fentimen's soda in the house somewhere, but they don't get consumed much...

...and singing: I like singing...

Giant thingie sounds awesome. :)

What is a Fentimen's soda?

[ngakmafaery]

...they are these nice small-maker sodas that have flavours like Rose Lemonade and are 'fermented botanical drink with ginger and pure rose extracts', as per the label on this dusty bottle here, established 1905... www.drinkfentimans.com

[colls]

those sound interesting, if I saw them around I'd probably try one

Electrocuted? Whoa, like, on purpose (ECT) or by accident? Sorry if this is too nosy of a question; if so, pass on silently to this:

"Thingie", lol, is that really what it's called on the menu? That's awesome.

[ngakmafaery]

...yup, I go in and ask for "thingie", and they give me the right thing, and now if others order it, they get it too...

...yeah, basic 'basement of old house water wires barefeet right after finishing enormous quantity of wisdom mantras' style of thing, five years back...still gives me some trouble in some ways (having been cooked), and no, if it were too nosy, I shouldn't have mentioned it in public...! ahahaha! Lately the nonvital functions just drop off if the system/body is stressed too much, so I lose speaking, sight, walking, usually, and just deal with it, like anybody and anything...those things come back usually, although now I seem to hear everything forever, like all noise ever made past present or future, so that makes me cranky as hell...apparently corpus callosum issues...
