since then, i drink it every time i notice i can get some for free. mmm, coffee. black only, no sugar, no cream, it makes me hyper unless it's plain. well, today i outdid myself. went to brunch with alex and joe and ended up sitting with (emo) dave (of "on subbing" zine), jenna, barrett (a boy i've made out with), aaron and nathan (of "brainfag"). i was a little bored, so i drank more and more coffee, stacked the various condiments and menus and talked a ton. can we say caffeine rush? so anyway, once that was over, i went home and changed for work before i went downtown for a symposium meeting. had another cup o'caffeine there. on my way back, it hit me. bad. coffee stomachache. gotta pee gotta pee gotta pee. bounce off the walls all wiggly and jittery. wheeeeeeeee.... and so, a toast: to my first "real" caffeine rush! |
Black is the only way. Coffee is good for you. |
A friend of mine started drinking black coffee every morning to get her going. Once it was a regular habit she started getting the "coffee shits" every morning. At the sime time she would get diarhhea that stank up the whole house! Watch out for coffee shits! Other than that coffee is great! Have some every morning! |

wow pez, you're growing up... be warned though...when I was your age I went over board. I ended up in an emergency room in such pain from caffeine deficiency headches. i was up to about 3 quad (read em, 4 shots espresso each) mochas or lattes a day. |
i'm feelin' mighty lonesome haven't slept a wink i walk the floor from nine to four in between I drink black coffee love's a hand-me-down brew i'll never know a Sunday in this weekday room |
i drink coffee maybe once, twice a week. and usually only one or two cups. *thought of the day* it sure is an interesting world, when an addiction marks a rite of passage. |
I'm not addicted anymore. Or more accurately, my addiction has moved on and up. Coffee is entirely optional anymore. |

coffee is my only addiction, besides the internet. |
love everything else about it. The smell, coffee cake, i even have coffee scented potpourri and perfume. I love iced coffee. But not real coffee. ewwww. i was hooked on pepsi thought. For years. when i'm working, i don't stop drinking tea. I think i just use it as a base for warm milk and sugar. My first experience with tea was when i was 12 or so, i had to wake up early and run a ticket booth for something my parents were doing, and they told me to try drinking tea to stay awake. And it was free. So i drank it. A lot. All morning. When it was time to go home, they asked why i was surrounded by sugar packets. "I just had some tea" "how much tea did you have?!" "like.....8 or 9 cups." "of TEA?" "yeah, i like it, it's good." "do you know how much caffeine that is?!" "tea has caffeine?" "YES. LOTS" ".....is that why i'm sweating?" Sometimes i think i'm going to become like the character on Kids in the Hall, the small man that's a slave to the tea. And the doctor does a blood test on him, and it's all tea. |

my friends tried to help but nothing worked |
cold coffee/milk thing. I think it must be equivalent to like, 5 cups of coffee because after a half hour of drinking, then you tremble tremble tremble. I find that on days that I can wake up naturally ( no alarm, which are woefully few and far between), i don't want coffee. So, I blame my coffee habit on the evils of the capitalist system. |
that said, i don't like needing or relying on coffee. when i feel dependent, i quit. but so far i always start drinking it again. |
tea is a better ritual than coffee. |
like 20-30 different kinds no one drinks it |
Apparently its good with a shot of Baileys. |
I consume enough caffeine in a 3 hour period to kill a small animal. It flows through my veins at about a 1/4 ratio with my blood.... Oh and have I mentioned I don't sleep much anymore? |

I love cold tea. i love coffee, cold or hot. i NEED coca-cola. Did you realize the cocoa bean (i think it was the cocoa bean) is the flesh of black men? it's true, i saw it on the tv. this guy says one thing i want to say to all you chocolate eaters out there, you are eating my flesh.... seriously. this sun key board is taking some getting used to |
Brian Woods: “The exact words were, ‘If I had something to say to the people who are eating chocolate, they would not be good words. They enjoy something I suffer to make. They are eating my flesh.’” What the filmmakers and chocolate makers agree on is that a boycott of chocolate would only depress the already low price of cocoa beans even more, creating more hardship in Africa. Hmmm, so how is that easter candy? |

Slavery in the Rainforests Forced at gunpoint to cut down remote rainforests, Brazilian slaves produce charcoal for no pay. A Victim's Story Jobless and hungry, the Rocha family followed the promise of gato (recruiter) and traveled by truck to the Minas Gerais region hoping for the better life. After arrival to the batteria (work camp), the gato informed the Rochas - at gunpoint - that they would be charged for travel, tools, food, and shelter. The family suddenly found itself trapped in forced labor, working 18-hour days to pay off an ever-accruing debt. While at the batteria, Marta Rocha, eight years old, inhaled smoke on a regular basis. She began to cough blood and now can no longer work. The Rochas are underfed and their debt continues to amass with no end in sight. Marta's medical needs further increase the debt, and without her work, the debt climbs even higher. Hundreds of miles from their native village, the Rochas are isolated and enslaved in their own country. The Rochas are a few of the roughly 30,000 people enslaved in debt bondage in Brazil (some estimates cite as many as 100,000 slaves). Lured to remote regions of the rainforest and surrounded by armed guards, poor Brazilians clear the forest, produce charcoal, and maintain the camps. No one is paid, nor has the freedom to leave. Double whammy. slavery and rainforest |
Small Boys Control Large Camels - But Who Controls the Boys? Enslaved because of their size, young boys are trafficked into the UAE and forced to ride camels for sport. at least the camels arent riding the boys..... |

Had a migrane today. Started about 11:00 am. Took two shots of Imitrex, one nasal, one subcutanious. Still spent an eternity in Hell. 3 hours as measured from outside my ball of pain. The nausea is the worst part. I'm all shaky now, kinda queezy. Balance is off and I can't make my brain work quite right. But the pain is gone. Shitting fuck. Today was my day to get "All Quiet on the Western Front" read so I can write a paper for Thursday. I suppose I should get reading. |
Scat. LS |

my dad hardly touches his, my mom doesn't at all. but i'll go make a cup o'tea, sounds pretty good right about now. |
course the largest and predominant ethnic group of Eastern Europe and whose blood courses through many of our veins, that word is derived from the Latin for "slave?" It's true. Did you know you can make mice fart by holding them upside down and tapping them on the belly with a pencil? (ATC) |

He's a very un-Italian Italian. He's very quiet, unemotional, all food tastes the same to him, doesn't like music, reads a lot. The only Italian thing about him is that gold chain around his neck with the big crucifix hanging on it, but he only wears that because he's got no sartorial taste, either. |

It's got a nice pick-up effect to it, but doesn't jitter me as much as coffee does in large quantities. |
