When tumblr and twitter both fail at the same time, you know it's the right time to just close firefox and write.

But instead you keep pressing F5.

I think I'ma need a glass of wine.

LOL. That's happening to both of us, I guess.

Here's to hoping it'll be fixed soon *raises glass*

Ooh, wine. Sometimes I wish I drank alcohol, just so I could have wine. *sips tea instead*

And you were not around when we had the ~TUMBLR BLACKOUT~. It lasted for like, 37 hours.

I've just started drinking wine, it's been a couple of months, and I'd never go back to beer. See, if that was a beer sitting on my desk when I'm alone, on a weekday, I'd feel like an alcoholic. Now, it's just a part of my "démarche artistique" :P *(Love it when I can switch to French and people undestand!)

But tea is awesome too! :D

No, I've had it for a week now. I would have freak out :P But I think I've heard about it, though.

I don't like beer, but wine ? Like, a glass of pink wine, some melon and spanish ham. It's going to be hard to resist during the summer xD
There's a guy in my school who never works sober, for the sake of ~art. I'm a smoker, that's enough :P
(I love slipping French words everywhere ! And when I speak French I slip English/German words or entire sentences. I always find it very cute when, in a fic, people put French sentences with mistakes in them ♥ )

Tea is awesome ! It's just reaaally cheap Ceylan from the grocery store, but still. Oh, the things I would do for a cup of moroccan mint tea...

Of course you have, people went bonkers ! Ok, me too.

[identity profile] poire-gourmande.livejournal.com 2011-03-24 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Awww, pink wine... *sighs* I only have cheap 11$-a-bottle wine from the convenience store :P Drinking pink wine in the pool during the summer is like one of the awesomest things ever.
I can't talk French without slipping English words every two sentences. I envy you so much to be able to do that with German! :P
French with mistakes in French kinda annoys me, actually :P I just want to step in and correct them, but I don't wanna be obnoxious...

My tea is from the grocery store too, I hope I'll get the job at the tea shop to finally buy some quality tea :D

I have a lot of Canadian friends who do the same, they're talking French and all of a sudden they pop an English saying and go on in French xD But I think in Québec you translate a lot of things in French, isn't it ?
I'm not that good at German, mostly it's when I come back from Germany, I'm all like "Entschuldiguuuung !" every time I bump into someone in the streets, and they look at me like "T'ES BIZARRRE". I do the same with Spanish D:
Oh, me too, don't worry. Though I have no problem with being obnoxious 8D

Is it like, a tea shop, ou un salon de thé ? :o

[identity profile] poire-gourmande.livejournal.com 2011-03-24 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Well, with the Loi 101, everything must be in French first, and bigger than in English (dans l'affichage et les commerces, sur les produits etc.). I don't know if that's what you meant?
Entschuldigung is so the best word ever :D

It's a shop where you can buy tea in bags or in loose leaves, but you can also buy some that's already infused to drink right then. It's awesome, the staff is super friendly, they give you free sample to taste, and they let you smell every flavor :)

Yeah, I knew about that (and I think it's weeeird) but like, when I was in Montreal we went to MacDonald's and the Happy Meal is called le Joyeux Festin. It's little things like that :') Canada's so cute ♥

Wow :D It sounds like a nice place ! I hope you'll get the job :o

[identity profile] poire-gourmande.livejournal.com 2011-03-24 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's all because of the Loi 101 :P
You're right, Joyeux Festin does sound cute :P

I hope so too, my interview is Friday, so hopefully I'll get news by next week.

[identity profile] poire-gourmande.livejournal.com 2011-03-24 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, and did you like Montreal?

[identity profile] sunshine-flying.livejournal.com 2011-03-24 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Ugh.
I need a glass of that.
Too bad I'm too poor to buy a bottle :(

[identity profile] poire-gourmande.livejournal.com 2011-03-24 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
*hands glass*
Come hang out, I'll give you some!

I'm lucky, my boyfriend bought me this bottle when I finished the last one. But it's only cheap-11$-convenience-store-wine. Still counts! :P

[identity profile] sunshine-flying.livejournal.com 2011-03-24 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, you're sweet :)

I didn't know wine could be that cheap! Maybe I'll have to make a drive out and see what I can find...I have like $15 until Friday and NEED to take the edge off...

[identity profile] poire-gourmande.livejournal.com 2011-03-24 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
In Quebec, they sell wine as cheap as 10-15$ in convenience stores and grocery stores. It's not that good, but it does the trick. I hope you can find some! *fingers crossed*

Or maybe just ask Mike to give you his bottle of tequila? He's been hogging it for weeks! ;)

[identity profile] sunshine-flying.livejournal.com 2011-03-24 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, for sure I should just take Mike's tequila ;)

I actually went out to WalMart and got some decent stuff for $3.50. I cracked into it. It was necessary. :)

[identity profile] poire-gourmande.livejournal.com 2011-03-24 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
They sell wine at your WalMart????
3.50$????

OMG, win! :D

CHEERS! *obligatory Raise Your Glass joke*

[identity profile] sunshine-flying.livejournal.com 2011-03-24 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Hells yes!
And it isn't even that bad.
WalMart has their own brand of wine, actually. So far so good.

*Raise Your Glass*
Good joke :P

I feel like jamming out to that song now :)

[identity profile] poire-gourmande.livejournal.com 2011-03-24 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
I can't imagine drinking WalMart wine :P

Let's both listen to it together! :D

Hey, I was wondering, do you have a twitter/tumblr?

[identity profile] adropofred.livejournal.com 2011-03-24 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
In France you can buy wine for like 2$ :D SO LONG, SUCKERS !

[identity profile] poire-gourmande.livejournal.com 2011-03-24 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
I KNOW AND I HATE YOU FOR THAT

[identity profile] sunshine-flying.livejournal.com 2011-03-24 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
THAT'S CHEAPER THAN MINE.
0.o
Jealous.

I'm going to France one day. I just decided.

[identity profile] poire-gourmande.livejournal.com 2011-03-24 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
I'm coming with you, and we'll buy like five bottles of wine and we'll get more drunk that everybody at Rachel's party combined.

[identity profile] sunshine-flying.livejournal.com 2011-03-24 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Oh heck yes.
Sounds like a blast :)

[identity profile] poire-gourmande.livejournal.com 2011-03-24 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Or we could just buy some at Walmart and meet halfway between Montreal and... Minnesota, I think? That would be way more doable than France, if less fun.
