false pretences

having failed in efforts to find some very nice green tea with mint that i once had and was fond of, i thought i'd try green tea with lemongrass. it sounded quite zingy, and a change. does it taste zingy? no it does not. does it taste or smell remotely like lemongrass? no it does not. BAH. but green tea is good for me so i drank it anyway. and since i was having *meh* tea i thought i'd complete the effect by eating a protein bar, of which i am not particularly fond but it's better than eating carbs and chocolate. i had salad for tea, too :-(

third party crisis appears to be coming to a head - tho i don't know more than broad brush outlines, it sounds like there is only one solution. painful and far from easy, but it's a simple one all the same. hope i can help himself to help J; a good bloke trying to help a good bloke with a painfully familiar problem of the female variety - why do women do these things? i may be no angel - frankly i can be a bitch with the best of them and have plenty in my past i'm not proud of - but it seems far easier to stab someone in the front and be done with it than do this calculating and frankly nasty thing. i don't even know this guy and i want to give him a hug, buy him a pint and try and show him we're not all like that, contrary to his recent experience.

also: backblipped yesterday and i'm also terribly proud of my robin, so if you haven't seen him, drop in and say hi!
