How did the other BDers change you? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Lush · 08-13-2004, 08:27 AM

Oh Fea, am flattered, though am also hoping that your family doesn't come after me with sticks (or lawyers).

My conversations with Squatter really helped my writing along. I became a little bit less self-absorbed, and a little more subtle. At least I think so.

Bethberry and Rimbaud introduced me to really good music.

Estelyn gave me indispensible relationship advice and introduced me to the coolest summer drink ever.

I could go on and on...

[edit]Yeah, at a crucial point in life Squatter reminded me that not all men are pigs.

And HerenIstarion helped.[/edit]

The coolest summer drink ever is clearly Pimms. So I hope that fine English beverage is precisely what the Princess suggested.

Music is my radar.

Estelyn Telcontar · 08-13-2004, 10:02 AM

Wrong, Rim - but only the really cool people get that served to them by me!

(Want some relationship advice instead?

)

Just so long as the relationship in question is between me and the coolest summer drink ever, your Highness.

On topic, grudgingly: Esty once nearly told me the coolest summer drink ever. Small world.

No worries, Lush, they won't come after you. They think the sudden transformation was boyfriend-induced. I'll admit they're partly right, but... eh... whatever. Why not be feminine once in awhile?

I don't suppose that might be something that I (a youngster) could drink [legally]? Still looking for the perfect drink this summer, and its almost over...

Meh. We didn't have a summer in Scotland. Just as well we have Irn-Bru, the only drink of the summer (or, indeed, any other time of the year).

Or tea, of course. These conversations in the Barrowdowns forum do seem to centre around tea don't they? I only have to come onto the Downs to realise how important and essential tea is to life itself. Thanks!

We usually have summer in NY, but this year it decided to be cold, rainy, and miserable instead. The nice weather will start when I'm back in classes.

The conversations center around tea because tea is crucial to my sanity, and presumably other people's.

A friend of my da's has turned me into a tea snob. I'll still drink Lipton... if there's nothing else... but PG Tips is SOOO much better. Lighter, smoother, such a delicate blend... And chai. I got an entire floor of a college dorm addicted to chai latte, starting with my eldest brother.
