The angels are on my side

I just had a fight with mormons about tea. I think my day can be counted as complete. :D

Basically they asked me if I believed in God and I said yes, yes I did. Then they asked me if I wanted to hear about their faith and I said perhaps if it wasn't raining and I was able to move my hands properly without them aching horribly, but not right now thanks. And he persisted in walking with me and talking to me about this, that and the other, and I stopped him and asked him if they drank tea.

Herbal tea, he said, to which I replied that's all very well but what about tea tea? No. No, they don't. Then I'm afraid, I said, that that's a deal breaker for me.

You'd choose tea over god? he said.

God created tea.

Cocaine, he said. Alcohol.

But - but tea! (I may have flailed.)

So they asked if I was willing to break my communion with God over tea and I said that I really didn't think that was necessary - there may well have been a 'my dear boy' in there, too. Habit.

They went away scowling and I giggled merrily on my way.

Dude, seriously. I have always wanted to fight with mormons about tea.

My brain hates me. Seriously. I came up with this little fun idea for an SG:A AU, and I was going to rewrite The Storm, and it was going to be awesome. Except then I realised that things would work out differently in The Storm due to the A part of the AU, and therefore I'd have to explain that, and therefore it'd make a lot more sense to rewrite The Rising, too, and then I started getting ideas for how I'd redo Sunday... Really don't have time for this right now. And yet.

I think I'm going to get a tattoo. Not now, but. I've kind of been thinking about one in particular for six years, and I always put an arbitrary time limit of five on a tattoo - if I was going to make that much of a commitment I wanted it to be something I really wanted. Six years kinda suggests really wanting. I may wait until next year when I finish my course, because I'd quite like it to be a Significant Moment thing; of course, celebrating qualifying to be a teacher with a tattoo might well be frowned on...

I'll just have to get a big watch, too, to cover it.

Which of you lot have tattoos? What've you got?

*nosy*


ETA: Check it out! It's my journal's fourth birthday today, which just makes me go ...really? Is that it?

My journal says it wants pictures of pretty people for its birthday. Who'm I to refuse, eh?
