Earl Grey « Thread Started on May 25, 2009, 8:25am »
Earl Grey- Original.
The first time I met Earl Grey, I thought of the tea my grandmother would formulate during my schooling years. She would dress me up in silk frocks, tightly wound together like an old spool of thread, sitting me down at the coffeetable hidden beneath eyelet tablecloths. I was a doll to her. A doll to use as if she was some strange little girl. She would pour the tea, steaming hot, out of my reach and sip it. I would kindly ask her for a sip, but she refused. "It's too hot for you."

I do not understand why it is I am attracted to the untouchable, always finding myself like a child trying to reach for the cookie jar. Maybe it was just the challenge of the unreachable I was fond of, not Earl Grey himself. That is not to say, however, that he was not attractive.
I hope I'm going in the direction you wanted to go in. : O
