I'm an adult addicted to chocolate milk, and my whole family picks on me because of it.
what, has anyone ever said chocolate milk isn't for adults? that's ridiculous. you sound like a perfectly reasonable adult to me.
I have the skill to make people laugh by reminding them I can legally buy alcohol or cigarettes in the store. because haha haiz being old enough to do that is utterly ridiculous -hang on you're 20 i forgot
you'll know where to find me.

hah, i stay away from coffee and alcohol altogether because 1) i'm super scared of becoming addicted and 2) they don't even taste good? everyone's all "oh, but you'll LEARN to like the taste!" but why the heck would i want to learn to like something i don't want to spend money on ever

i do drink enormous amounts of tea, though.
I completely understand. Why learn to like something you don't need or want?
I've always liked the taste though? I'll drink coffee black, I just put creamer in to keep it from scalding my mouth. And I've never been bothered by the taste of alcohol.

Some persons are still surprised I don't drink coffee or alcohol. (So few alcohol it doesn't count : I might be able to drink a drop in special occasions, like wedding or ceremony. But the ones I meet for the first time often say the "you'll learn to like", but not, thanks, I dislike that.)
Some others persons had understood it's better to prepare a tea pot ;D And maybe I drink too much tea sometimes.

yeah, I'm being perfectly reasonable and I'm surrounded by people whose minds are BLOWN by the fact that I don't want to drink?? yeah okay sure. nevermind that alcohol in norway is expensive as heck, too.......

i mean people don't need to justify what they like and don't like? when i say i don't like tomatoes people find it perfectly acceptable and I don't need a tragic backstory about how my aunt broke her leg by tripping over a tomato plant or whatever

There is no such thing as too much tea.

Too much tea like "How many tea pot (1 or 1,5 litre) have we made and drunk in two hours ? Four, five ? And we're only two ? Mmmh. Maybe we should wait a little before having an other..." ^^

It does involve a lot of nickname options though. Like Paradroid, Pandroid, Pandro, Parroid etc. etc. etc.
Eich's already developed a habit of linking Para (my IRC name) with other words, so:
Para_Chute, Para_Sect, Para_Noid, etc etc.
(I've yet to find a suffix that works with Eich, though)

To be perfectly honest, I just think of you as "Marvin".

I know, right? Adults must have their right to drink chocolate milk when they want, this is a free country.
But, just like you, my face doesn't help my cause. I definitely don't look like a 23 year old person. Having a baby face and liking chocolate milk makes things a little difficult when you are trying to convince other people that no, you are not a child anymore.

To be perfectly honest, I just think of you as "Marvin".

I think the perfect nickname for ParanormalAndroid has been chosen.

I like almost everything - coffee's awesome, tea's great, wine and beer - brilliant. The only things I don't like are really sweet drinks of any sort. Btw I much agree on that trying to learn to like the taste of alcohol is entirely pointless. Why would you. You like it if you like it, if you don't then you don't, it's not like anyone needs to drink it.
