La la la tea

[listersgirl]

It's the end of the month, which means...Tea Exchange Roundup!

So, please tell me:

If you haven't received your tea this month. Or, actually, months - this last batch was for October/November.

If you want out of the exchange. Even if it's just for this one time. You can always come back.

If you want in. Fill out the poll! And pretend that last text box says 'email', because I forgot to include a box for that.

(My email is listersgirl[at]gmail[dot]com, if you don't want to leave a comment.)

I will (hopefully) send emails out over the weekend with your new exchangee. And remember, everything stops for tea!

* * *

On a non-tea related note, my Nano count is 12557. Snerk. I wouldn't mind writing more - it's not that I ran out of things to say, amazingly enough, but that I just lost impetus. Also, that I am VERY SLOW, even when I was writing daily. So maybe I'll make February National Novel Continuing Month.

I am opting out for the next tea exchange. I am so bad at getting the tea out and that isn't fair to whoever is my recipient.

[listersgirl]

Sure thing.

[listersgirl]

ps. did you receive tea this time around?

[caffeinediary.livejournal.com]

It did not.

[sarcasma.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've SENT any tea. I don't even know offhand, I'll have to check somehow. I don't deserve to be in the tea exchange.

I will definitely send tea to my Oct/Nov person, but maybe take me off the list for now due to extreme irresponsiblity. *sigh*

[listersgirl]

I have a feeling this may be the round of everyone backing out. :)

(I will check to see if your tea arrived, since you can't remember if you sent it.)

[sarcasma.livejournal.com]

It makes me sad that people are backing out! But probably we're all looking at our holiday-season to-do lists and freaking out. In January when the fun is all over we'll all be crawling back, "won't somebody send me some tea?"

[listersgirl]

Don't worry, there's always fresh blood - four new people have signed up already.

[Which is good for me, because it means more chances to work my way through the enormous box without anyone getting duplicates :D]

[sarcasma.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[dramaqueen-23.livejournal.com]

I think NaNoConMo is a brilliant idea! I want to read about hot sex and giraffes in the library.

[listersgirl]

In fact, I left of just with the arrival of the giraffes. So at least I managed to get that far. :D

[cloud-hands.livejournal.com]

Giraffes are having sex in the library?

[listersgirl]

!

Noooo, but...hmmm. *cackle*

[shoefiend.livejournal.com]

I'm opting in for the tea exchange! What are the rules?

Welcome!

[listersgirl]

Basically, you get a name every two months, and send that person a box or two (or equivalent) of your favourite teas, and in exchange someone else will send you some of their favourite teas. It's a tea round robin!

They don't have to be fancy or expensive, just something interesting that you'd like to share.

[morag-gunn.livejournal.com]

I have not yet received my tea for October/November. I thought that I had, but apparently the tea sent to me by starfishchick was just random tea of love. Please throttle my tea-sender or something appropriate. ;)

[listersgirl]

One tongue-lashing coming right up! Heh.

[starfishchick]

Have you had a chance to try it? (I sent you Tropic of Strawberry, right?)

[morag-gunn.livejournal.com]

I have done. And I even commented somewhere in your lj about it, but of course comments weren't/aren't being e-mailed so you probably didn't see it and I'm certainly not going to look for it.

I tried it and it was very fruity. Truth be told, I'm not a fan of fruity teas. But I AM fond of you, and love you for your sentiments. I shared it with my classmates and they all rather enjoyed it.

[starfishchick]

I was pretty sure you weren't a huge fan of fruity teas, but I knew you drank strawberry tea the first weekend at your parents' place, so I thought I'd give it a whirl.

As long as someone enjoyed it!! :)

[tinkerer.livejournal.com]

I should probably opt out -- I have the other tea, but haven't sent it out. I'll be back in as soon as I send these ones out.

[listersgirl]

Sure thing.

[emiline.livejournal.com]

ACK! I've been meaning to send tea to my person for weeks, and I keep forgetting. CRAP! It will be on it's way tonight, I SWEAR.

[sarrabellum.livejournal.com]

I have neither sent nor recieved, but I will be remedying my end of that this afternoon.

[sh1mm3r.livejournal.com]

And I got it (this is more for listersgirl since I already thanked sarrabellum)! Whee!

[goblinshark.livejournal.com]

I have not sent my tea due to having lost the address. Yes, I'm stupid. If you still have addresses that would be great since I have the tea all packed and ready to go.
I also haven't gotten my tea.

[voleuse.livejournal.com]

I am so lame! I just went and filled out the poll, and I forgot to add my e-mail address. *facepalm* Should I send you an e-mail with all the information?

[listersgirl]

I can just email your livejournal address, if you access that, or you can email me. :) Either way works for me.

[voleuse.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's fine. Voleuse@livejournal.com forwards to my primary e-mail. *g*

[caeruliusbarba.livejournal.com]

The tea for my person is sitting here staring at me, because I am lame.

Also, I think I need to opt out for a while. I'm trying to change jobs, and the fewer additional obligations I have (even fun ones)the better.

Thanks!

[listersgirl]

Feel free to rejoin when things settle down!

(And go to the post office and mail that tea! Heh.)

[bureinato.livejournal.com]

I have sent my tea, last friday night/ saturday early morning. I did use airmail this time so it should arrive within a week or so. I have not received tea, but that's fine.

[listersgirl]

Thanks for telling me. And you deserve your tea! I will nag. :)

[cloud-hands.livejournal.com]

I filled out the poll. Count me in. This should be a good time of year for me to try this. For some reason I'm always better at remembering stuff and actually getting it done when I'm already busy. And I need more tea in my life.

[listersgirl]

Hurray!

NaFeNoWriMo

[gmajor.livejournal.com]

So maybe I'll make February National Novel Continuing Month.

Absofragginlutely. I'm almost at the 25K mark, but I'm going to keep going. February sounds doable.

Re: NaFeNoWriMo

[listersgirl]

Yes, because it certainly won't be December. :P

[alivicwil.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna opt out. Sorry.
I neither sent nor received last month. *smacks back of own hand*

[listersgirl]

Hee. Thanks for telling me.

[bruiseblue.livejournal.com]

I have yet to send out my last tea, but it's here, staring at me.

I want to stay IN, though - ininininin..specially now that I'm aware that it can be grocery store unfancy tea.

[bruiseblue.livejournal.com]

Also, I have received two teas in total - so I'm missing one, but I'm not sure which one.

[listersgirl]

Well, I'm pretty sure you got the one from this round, since I have a very clear memory of mailing it. ;)

[bruiseblue.livejournal.com]

Yeah - the pear stuff rocked.

My roommate has threatened to ban all new teas in the house, because we have a ridiculous amount of tea already, but I won't allow that to happen.. not when all of the special christmas teas are just being released...

[sh1mm3r.livejournal.com]

I never got tea from the last round (sad me). I already sent mine to Canada and my swappee got her package, because I've already heard from her. Yay!

And I'm still in; I've recently discovered a new tea place and want to share the love.

[listersgirl]

New tea, whee! Also, yours should be arriving soon.

[sarrabellum.livejournal.com]

I still haven't gotten my tea from the October/November tea exchange. :(

[listersgirl]

Boo! I will harass. :)
