absinthe......

for years i'd read about the wonders of the green fairy......the famous authors and artists who became addicted......all about it's wondrous properties....the rituals...the visions.....

what i never read about, however, was it's taste........i would love to say that it's marvelous.....that i could savor it forever.....but in all truth i must admit, it makes me GAG......

hideous stuff...*unless, of course, you like licorice....to me it's like drinking liquid licorice (and i have always hated licorice)...

i've heard you can get it in other flavors....i'm definitely gonna check that out because, regardless of the taste, i find myself craving the particular buzz it gives me....one good strong drink and i'm hilariously plastered.....but it feels more akin to being high rather than drunk....

and i love the rituals with the sugar cubes and special spoons and all the hoopla surrounding it.....

yes, i'll definitely be drinking more absinthe......

*i wonder if they make it in strawberry?
