Welcome to Gaia! ::

One of my teachers used to provide some 'exotic' snack twice a week. One time she bought in this vegetable that wasn't a potato, but she said that it tasted like raw potato. All I could find online was jicama, but that's a member of the potato family, so I'm not sure if that was it. Other times she brought in papaya, plantains, macadamia nuts, sugar cane (that actual cane, not processed, very sweet, my favorite), turnip, and other similar things. They weren't necessarily all rare. It's just that they weren't common to most of us. She's the one that showed us how to eat real coconut, not that pre-shredded stuff. And I learned about bleu-cheese from her.

She loved introducing us to rarer foods, and had several animals in her classroom at any given time, but otherwise she was a real pain in the butt. She almost wrecked my "good-kid" personality. I still hate her to this day, but I appreciate her desire to keep us interested in the rest of the world.

Because of her I have a pretty open view of eating strange foods. Think Andrew Zimmerman's Bizarre Foods, but without any of the blood dishes. I've mentioned it before and I will again. I'll eat anything considered food once. If I don't happen to like it, I'll try it a gain in a year.

Im thinking to posting a new RP...not to change subjects...but I wanted to get a reception of it first. The idea is that you have 4 friends (3 girls 1 guy) who get into a relationship with another group (1 girl 3 guys) The second group appears to be seriously in love and perfect but in reality they are just having fun with the group. The catch is that they have to break up the group of friends without getting caught. By which I mean someone figuring out that they are actual bad, and intending to hurt the friend's feelings.

"Uh... Could you rephrase that? Now personally I'm not in support but I've never done a romance RP. I have a tendency toward largely aloof characters anyway. I'm pretty selfish."

Phaeton put his gun away and cracked his fingers. "Okay, test number two: improvised weapons." He punched his hand through the floor into the foundation. Getting a firm grip on a segment of rebar support in the concrete, he tore out a piece of it roughly three and a half feet long. He tapped it against the floor once, then took a step and a full bat swing at Wolffan.

"Aren't bug's insides more like goo than blood?" Devin questions. Alie shrugs but can't help inputing, "Ichor is the golden blood of the gods."

"Well sue me then," Alie muttered quietly under her breath. Rolling her eyes she returned to her manga.

"Not really, she only carries cash. Selling her, however, is a different story, as we've learned." Nathan replies, hearing a cha-ching from Wynaro's thoughts.

Alie looks up at Wynaro and bursts out laughing along with Nathan and Devin.

"Damn, I've missed alot," I say as I kiss Elue quickly and hop out of his arms. "I swear as soon as you...." Elue starts to say. "You'll kill me?" I ask, "Because I know you won't Elue. That's why I toy with you."
