I haven't really drank tea in a while, and while browsing the new discussion topics, I saw "tea" as one of them and I decided to make myself a cup. I forgot how many different kinds of teas I have! I have nearly twenty. I chose to...

TomAustin I don't really have the money to afford to buy tea, so I tend to get what I can. If there's black tea available, I have that, especially if it's Earl Grey. That stuff's just amazing. I've sometimes done things like put poppy seeds or chai spices in simple...

TomAustin I love to listen to just about any resonant instrument, like guitars or violins, although the wind instruments have to be my favorite, especially clarinet and other reed instruments. I'm learning to play the fife, but I've been playing the penny whistle for...

When I was a kid, I saw the Ralph Bakshi animated adaptation of "The Hobbit." It was so fun, so exciting and melancholy at the same time. That prompted me to read the book. I loved it even more than the movie. If they had only...

Writing is a kind of relief valve for pent up emotions. Way before the internet or even computers, people used to write diaries, jotting down their day to day experiences and sometimes to the last minute detail. These were mostly...

TomAustin For me, writing is more than a hobby, but a life defining aspect of my personality. I can't go a day without writing something, no matter how small, without having a problem. I have issues that I have never really learned how to deal with properly, but writing...

TomAustin I don't really have "a" most visited website, but I have a few of them. Wikipedia is the page that I've set as my homepage. Even though it's rightfully notorious for having not-so-accurate information (at best), it's still a good way to get information on...

TomAustin Being the other half of Revenwyn's relationship, I need to add that all relationships are based on communication. Yes, there is some actual contact that's involved in a healthy relationship, and yes, we only got that very rarely. We were together for four and...

TomAustin Mostly, I've been trying to do fiction writing, though I have had some interest in recipe books, especially one idea I have. The way I see the kind of writing you're talking about is that it's something that could pay the bills, though it's not really the kind...

TomAustin Thank you. I have found quite a few support sites, but I'm also very wary of message boards, since I have also found many sites where the trolls ran rampant. Sometimes, the administrators don't even do anything. New writers were sometimes mocked for their...

TomAustin According to wilstar.com, coffeetea.about.com and stashtea.com, mrinali is correct. Coffee has anywhere between 80 and 115 mg of caffeine per serving, while black tea (which has the most caffeine of the types of tea) has about 40 mg, although wilstar.com...

TomAustin Sometimes, when I want to write a poem, but I have writer's block, I write a poem about writer's block. When I don't know what to write in a discussion, I just post in other people's discussions, looking for something to answer until I get an idea based on...

TomAustin I tend to get about six or seven hours of sleep, since there's a specific time I need to wake up in the morning and I don't really like to go to bed. I like sleep when I'm tired, but I've actually found myself on numerous occasions trying to figure out how a...

TomAustin I really believe that it would be my duty to tell what I saw. If I witness a murder, or even find evidence afterward, then hiding it would be going against what I try to stand for. Sure, it would be frightening, but I've faced death before, and I lived to tell...
