I can empathise because to be honest I find the "blog" section quite confusing since many people don't seem to treat it as a blog, but somewhere to post more trivial things. Also I'm not sure what the rating system is all about in this context. People just get bans and warnings for arbitrary things on TL, so I wouldn't take it personally.
I love coffee, but hate Starbucks. Their coffee is so bitter, and the ones that aren't are too sickly sweet. When I was in the USA I liked getting my coffee from Dunkin Dohnuts.
Have you beaten that legendary monster in Borderlands? It's the one thing I haven't got around to yet. It seems to be leveling with my character now so the mission is always "hard". Are you referring to the vault monster? If so, I've beaten it on three different characters. I never found it to be very challenging, it just takes a lot of ammo. My legendary double repeater quite literally raped it's face on my hunter.

We in Finland drink like 4 cups a day on avarage ^_^ and 99.9% of the people have a coffee machine at home. Personally I wouldnt be able to manage without coffee. Also, coffee with just a tiny amount of milk + a cigarette = win 
Caffeine = Stimulant = Psychoactive Stimulant = Drug: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulant. It's not argot, it's fundamentally sound as the right category.
No one's saying it's unhealthy, but good for you :3

As you've devoted a significant chunk of this blog to discussing the moderation of your last one, it behooves me to comment. Yes, a blog with 3 lines about how you can't blog at the moment is going to be closed; this isn't twitter. The fact that topics here need at least some content and a modicum of effort shouldn't be a surprise at this point. That said, I'm sorry about your laptop and coffee is generally a pretty gross beverage in my opinion, but I can stomach it with a generous helping of milk and sugar. By all means, I understand forum posts and threads need topic and content. However, where I got confused is that a blog is considered a "topic here." I thought the blog section of TL was a personal thing with public viewing, I wasn't aware that a personal blog was considered a forum thread/topic and required to fulfill certain qualifications to be... Valid? I find it similar to a high school teacher grading a student's diary. Hence, my confusion and request for better clarification.
Imo people who come here should be able to expect at least some quality in the posts, considering how TL looks in general. No one would visit the blog section if it was full of 1-3 liners with no meaningful content, that's what twitter/sites dedicated to personal blogging are for.

Apparently, blogs have to have a certain amount of content, or else they get closed and I get a warning. O.o And here I thought my blog was a personal thing! Well, this is coming straight from my phone, so it won't be my longest blog, but i'll try to make sure it has enough content to please the mods (also, someone should make it more clear that writing a short blog is an actual offense). Alright, on to coffee before I get another warning.
I am currently drinking a cinnamon latte from an amazing espresso machine to wake me up. Unfortunately, the only reason I need this latte is because of that damn machine! I drank so much coffee last night that I stayed up until hell'o'clock in the morning playing Fable 3! I haven't been keeping track of release dates for games, so it was just my good luck that I decided to go to the mall yesterday when the previous day was the date for the PC release of Fable 3. I played the crap out of Fable when I was younger and I was completely heartbroken when they didn't release Fable 2 for the PC! I'm probably going to go swords/rifle and avoid magic as much as possible. I avoided magic in the first game due to the aging it caused (yes, in the end, I'm still a girl and care how my avatar looks).
Though my hunter in Borderlands is a total badass (I've had amazing luck with legendary weapons, I've gotten 3 volcanoes!!), I think I'll probably take a break from that until I put more time into Fable and finish McGee's Alice (such a great game). I have also recently acquired an xbox from one of my mother's friends and I have been reunited with my PS2, so I will probably overdose on games before the summer ends!
Speaking of overdosing, I am so not used to this much caffine in my system!! While I drink tea occasionally at school, coming home to Seattle means being reunited with the coffee culture. Afterall, Starbucks started here (the original store is worth checking out just for the mermaid boobs). I got pretty caffine addicted last summer when I was working fifty hour weeks at my internship. Luckily, it didn't take too long to ween myself off when school started, but i'd rather not deal with it again! Also, as convienent and popular as coffee is, I really prefer tea! A cup of earl grey with sugar and cream beats any latte in my book! Maybe I'm just a weirdo...
That really applies to me too. Who cares about having the best gear when it looks like shit? That's literally how I think in mmo's lol. I'm a guy btw. Just so people know.

I just hate coffee, I can't stand it. Nothing about it seems really appealing to me, am I insane? I hated coffee for a while too - then I started working and drinking it and now I love it. What I did at first was put a ton of cream/sugar in it so that I didn't taste the bitterness, then gradually cut back. I haven't cut back completely, still like a little bit, but now I need my morning cup or I'm grumpy .
Drink black coffee like a man

Ohh, so you also play PS2 games? I just recently picked mine up again after my friend let me borrow Metal Gear Solid 3. What games do you have/enjoy playing on it? =0

Since we're about coffee, I love illy from Italy. It makes the smoothest coffee.
Illy produce some of the best coffee beans in the world. The best coffee I have ever had was an espresso from a little restsurant outside terminee in Roma, also made from Illy.
Real men and real coffee lovers drink their coffee black. No milk, no sugar, no flavouring, no watering down - just a nice crema.

Question: hand lotion/cream. Do you use it? When did you start and why?
As an aspiring engineer, you should question the 'truths' of our world. One of those truths is that representatives of the female gender get dry hands and remedy this with lotion.
Yet the only lotion users of male gender are those who are circumcised and dry hands doesn't seem to be a common problem.
Why is this? What causes this apparent physiological difference? Hormonal? There's not a single study on the topic up on pubmed.gov yet hundred of studies on new moisturizers.

There is no manly way to drink from one of those little espresso cups.

Incorrect. One bite. Bit crunchy but try it - you'll shit bricks.

Sure there is. Just ask for it in a machiato or piccolo glass.
