1. Tomorrow I am _________
Going to finish this submissions disc for a wedding magazine in England that is going to publish my work and mail the darn thing. I also have therapy.
2. When is your birthday?
March 24th. I celebrated by 25th birthday for the... 5th time...? this year.
3. What are you currently excited about?
Going to sleep and maybe doing some crying. I feel tense. No, really, that seriously sounds great. I'm not kidding.
4. Do you have any secrets?
Are you KIDDING me? Do you read this blog?
...Okay, actually, yes I do...
I watched the documentry called "Vegucated" on Amazon a few weeks back and was totally and utterly horrified and traumatized. It was supposed to be a fun introduction to veganism, and I'm always up for learning even though I had no interest in going vegan. Well, I was so freaked out and impacted by the film that I stopped eating meat and dairy right then. I went to Whole Foods and got vegan junk and looked up blogs and receipes and tried it out. It was the cheese that was getting to me though... No meat is no big deal, but cheese is hard. But the image of the baby cow being dragged away from his sad, mooing mommy was pretty flippin' hard too. I went about a week and then had cheese on a salad with my mom. When I realized that she had given me chicken when she shared her salad with me, I cried I was so upset. I think it's been 4 weeks since initial exposure, and 3 weeks with no meat. I even got a brochure in the mail from PETA. I'm scaring myself.
I also decided I am totally getting a little milk goat and keeping it in my apartment. If I can hand feed the baby and know he is emotionally ok (OMG... what is WRONG with me?) by having a bottle (I wrote "bubba" three times instead of bottle...) then I can take his mommy's milk and make chevre and I could live with just chevre.
I've officially lost my mind.
Watch the documentry HERE online.
Or purchase it HERE on DVD.
It's really not as bad as it sounds. There were only 2 scenes that were not so good for Emily. The rest was educational, and I had no idea the amout of green house gases livestock put out. Weird.
5. What do you normally eat for lunch?
If we are going to be honest, I'm usually asleep.
Now I am apaprently going to be eating a lot of vegetables for lunch given big reveal in #4.
I am obsessed with hummus and sun chips. It's a problem.

I laughed out loud at your initial response to number 4. :o) As far as going vegan, more power to you if you do! I was vegetarian for years after watching some troubling documentaries, but I've found that my body just craves meat even though my mind says no. Now we buy our meat products from farms where I know the animals haven't been mistreated, lived good lives, and were humanely slaughtered. It helps a little, I guess.
I could live on hummus and pretzels.
