I think this calls for a little clarification. I did not say that iced tea tastes like feet. I said it tastes like water that someone washed their feet IN. Okay so it's just a romanticized version of your description but hey ... I do drink warm tea with honey on occasion, usually when I have a sore throat. It's just cold tea I think it mildly disturbing, okay more than mildly. It's pretty gross. I haven't the slightest understanding why people must make drinks that are supposed to be hot, cold. Iced coffee? Why? It's coffee - it's supposed to be hot! Get with the program people!
On a separate note, great description in this entry - it almost makes tea sound appealing.
Some of those people sound like real dicks. (checks rating) yep, dicks is okay.
I have an outlook similar to yours, the innocent until proven guilty method. I do have one person who used to be a complete enemy and we're now close friends. That's not normal though by any means. Sometimes, either way, it just works out for the best.
