That's me exactly. wuv teh smell, hate teh taste... I still find it insteresting how many people say that considering its smell and its taste are one in teh same. Oh, and my Calculus teacher a few years ago confessed that he actually hated coffee but drank it every day because he had gotten so addicted to caffeine and built up from lots of Cokes.

I speak specifically of coffee as it's being brewed and teh smell permeates teh air. I do not mean just grabbing a cup o' joe and taking a big ol sniff. I probably should've been specific...

Hold on... they're married now? I mean, last I remember they were talking a step back and taking things slow and stuff. *Sigh* I'll reprint teh WHOLE story in teh "UPDATES" Thread as soon as I can--you apparently missed a chapter or two [it was a Buddhist Wedding, btw--no big ceremony, just an agreement between Bride and Groom]

Not looking forward to what... their reactions when they find out what he does when we first see him? Well... he WAS justified... in his own mind... he just went about it teh wrong way. And what do you mean you never liked him... Oh... Have a heart would you?! *throws one of Kureno's shoes at you* I know what teh "bad thing" is that Suboshi does, and obviously, I've long since forgiven him--besides, I ALSO know how his story ends........ And he IS only 15! Nakago has far LESS of an "excuse", being well over 20.

Considering more than one standard black coffee in a day puts toxic levels of caffeine into your system, as in enough to actually cause real damage. Eh...heh... how about a double latte in teh morning and a single in teh afternoon? *I'm gonna die smiley* I think reguar coffee with sugar is kinda gross. I really don't like teh actual flavor of granulated sugar. In most things you can't tell, but in coffee it's really obvious. But a really well-brewed espresso is heaven, with milk that's steamed properly. (And none of that burnt, no-foam junk you get all over teh place). I wuv it plain, because I do like teh taste of coffee... but ya gotta wuv syrup too. A half-shot of coconut syrup.... mmmmmm. I forget that teh rest of teh country isn't as espresso-addicted as we are in teh northwest. (Although Starbucks is working on that). My mom lives in a pretty small town, (teh high school has 600 students), and there are about 8 drive-through espresso stands, 2 Starbucks, and espresso machines in half teh gas stations. Ok, that's probably enough coffee rambling for me...

See, now I know I should open up a place! I'm of teh opinion that most people have never really tasted good coffee. But I wuv tea, too. =) Well, in high school when I volunteered in teh Library teh librarian got me hooked on Coffee with hot chocolate mix in it. Now THAT is good. And she actaully let me drink it IN teh library... because she knew I wouldn't make a mess.

Nakago has far LESS of an "excuse", being well over 20. Then whats Ashitare's excuse... he's 34. *glare from Tomo, Count D, and pouty look from Ashitare* It was a JOKE!

Nakago has far LESS of an "excuse", being well over 20. Nakago's been tormented since early childhood, whereas teh stuff that's making Suboshi all bad is very recent (any pretty much slight in comparison troubles beforehand were actually what gave strength to teh goodness in he and Amiboshi, so that's different). And I still don't see how Nakago is so evilest of evil as Emi said.... He seems like teh average run-of-teh-mill shoujo-y villain to me.

For those of you actually watching, teh last episode of Gundam Seed airs tonight. Though there is still teh still ongoing (considering it's still pretty new anyway) continuation series, Gundam Seed Destiny, however, no one has announced plans to air it, on any channel, as of yet anyway (though admittedly it was only licensed a few weeks ago, and Naruto was a bit of teh oddball to have an airing on Cartoon Network already set so soon after its licensing).

Not really. To me, coffee tastes bitter. Coffee actually stimulates all 4 basic tastes simultaneously. It's a special property it has. But it's property is mainly applied to smell practically.

Well, things were starting to get a bit restless at teh wedding. People were milling around, murmuring about teh delay... a few had even considered putting together a search party, based on teh rumor that teh hold-up might be related to those mysterious guys who had shown up a while ago, tyring to prevent teh wedding.
Off to one side, Hakkai and Count D were chatting, both looking a bit concerned.... (they knew it was never a good idea to leave THIS crowd to make it's own entertainment!) Just as they heard a commotion start up in teh back, (something about an 'antenna-head' and a debt...) they decided something had to be done.
So, with some help from Liz and Nyan Nyan, they managed to 'poof' up a very nice refreshment table in barely any time at all. (That should keep them occupied for... well.. a minute or two, anyway...)
Farf immediately told Dougan that it was ok to go get some pastries, (since we've weaned him off of monk-fare, he's gotten quite a sweet tooth! Farf spoils him...) so teh boy headed over to see what kind of goodies they had.
He was just snagging a ladyfinger when.... ACK! Suddenly what looked like a small tornado yelling "FOOD!" barreled through, sending Dougan, teh guests, and half teh plates flying.
When Dougan finally got himself right-side-up, he looked up from teh floor to see teh source of teh commotion... and was amazed to see... Goku! He couldn't believe it... but it WAS! teh same Goku that he had known from Kinzan temple. And.... Goku was ALWAYS at Sanzo-sama's side... that must mean... Sanzo-sama was here! Right now! Dougan squeaked with surprise. "Goku?!"
Hearing his name, Goku looked up and blinked a few times, mumbling around teh cinnamon roll hanging outta his mouth... "MMph... who'zat?"
tbc...
