Just something amusing and my personal theory

Valentine's Day

Today I was looking through some old files saved on my computer from freshman year and I happened upon this little beauty. It's a hypothetical love letter that I wrote to no one in particular. I made it as sappy and just plain weird as possible. Please forgive me as I haven't edited at all, and it has some inconsistencies and grammatical errors, but give me a break -I was fourteen. Anyhow, it seems appropriate as today is (or I guess was) Valentine's day. Enjoy!

May 14th, 1967

Dear boy,

You are totally and completely, one hundred percent, the object of my desires. I cannot imagine a world bleaker, than one without you. You’re everything I was put on this earth for. Caring for you and loving you is everything I know now, and I won’t ever stop, no, never. 

Despite what you may pretend to your friends; I know that you soul yearns for me just as much as I yearn for you. Not only are we meant to be together, but we both know that you need me as much as I need you. It’s not a matter of want (although that does play a part) to the core, we both truly cannot survive without the other. If one should disappear the other would as well. 

I’ve found a quote from my favorite play which I believe describes how I feel towards you perfectly: “Give me my Romeo, and when I shall die, Take him and cut him out as little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night.” (3.2. 23-26). You eyes already twinkle like stars, so shimmery up above. I hope you know that I am ready and willing to do anything for you. “I will do anything for [your] love”. If you commanded me to kill a thousand boars and oxen, I would do it, with my bare hands. No matter the risk and no matter the consequence, as long as I received your faithful devotion in exchange, I am willing to “climb every mountain. Soar ‘ore every sea. Follow every rainbow”.  I know that most lovers would do anything for their mate. I’m far more selfish than most lovers, because my love is far more intense than that of most lovers. I will do anything for you, as long as you promise to love me back. I’m ok with an open relationship, just as long as you remember little ole me every one in a while. “We all need someone to hold onto, just like a helpless child.”

 I must confess, I’ve had these feelings about you bottled up inside for quite some time and I just thought you should know the truth. I’ve lain my feelings down before you; please don’t use them as a welcome mat. I may welcome you in, as long as you don’t tread on me before we get to have fun. I just couldn’t hide the truth anymore. I am terrible sorry if I upset you, but I know that I won’t, because we both know that you love me as well. Your love isn’t even deep down; it’s just floating on the surface, waiting to be unleashed. I hope my letters have unleashed the love. I understand that you have social problems, but you will come around. And when you do, I’ll be here, as ever, waiting.

Until then, my love, adieu,

D.H. (made up initials)

P.S. Yes, that is an ewok in the background. I know how we both love them.

 (The original document had an ewok water mark. And for those of you who don't know what an ewok is, it looks like that ^)

Happy Valentine's day!

Love, SCPGirl

Vegetarianism is for losers

Warning: The following blog is not funny or witty or in anyway something amusing for you to read during Physics class. I just sat down and wrote this because I felt like it and that is all. Also, Karen told me I hadn't posted a blog in a while, so here goes. If you want to read something slightly chuckle worthy, skip down to the lists at the bottom, they're almost worth your time. (Wow, such a great start to a blog. I know you're all hooked now). 

For three years in a row I gave up meat, but only during Lent. In February of last year, I decided to see if I could go meat-less for a year. I proudly told everyone that I didn’t care about animals; I just wanted to challenge my body. Six months into it, I started doing research about why people would go vegetarian in the first place. The effects the meat industry has on the environment astounded me. I had no idea how much water, (gasoline, CO₂ etc) was wasted every year in order to feed, kill and transport animals for our consumption. I might not have enough compassion for the animals, or for my own health, but I do care about our planet. My one year vegg-aversary is on the 17^th but it doesn’t really matter. I’m going to keep being vegetarian because I don’t want to be the cause of so much pollution when it’s so easy to be meat free.  

For anyone thinking about going vegetarian, don’t be scared. Start today; tell yourself that you won’t eat any meat today. Then motivate yourself with a one week goal, and so on. Before you know it you won’t even think about meat. I’ve heard lots of people say “I would be vegetarian, but I can’t live without meat” or “You can’t eat anything!”. I live in the south, where beef is second only to football, but I’ve never been in a restaurant where they don’t have something for me to eat. The meat substitutes today aren’t nearly as bad as everyone expects them to be, especially when they’re seasoned right (except the veggie hot dogs, stay away from those at all costs).

Also, don’t feel like just because you’re a vegetarian you have to eat healthy in all other ways. Sure you have to try a little harder to get protein than your omnivorous counterparts, but not all veg-heads are health freaks. Some vegetarian blogs talk about how “being vegetarian made me more conscious about what I ate, and now I only eat organic fat-free lentils and raw soy”. Come on people, being vegetarian doesn’t automatically make you crazy or a hippie, I swear. Speaking of crazy, I just discovered the Raw Vegan diet. Talk about people who can't eat anything tasty, goodness gracious.

I leave you with a list of reasons why you should be a vegetarian:

       1.      Health, the poor defenseless creatures, Street Cred. Whether you’re in a room full of new people, or playing two truths and a lie at summer camp, it’s an instant conversation starter. You’re also more likely to attract vegetarian friends as the veggies tend to run in flocks.

       2.      New Foods. I used to hate beans, but was forced to eat them as a means of survival. Now I love beans, chick peas, and pretty much all soy products (except for the aforementioned veggie hot dogs).

       3.      Will Power. I think of eating meat as an old habit I need to break. With time, old habits go away and replace themselves with new ones. Forcing myself to monitor what I ate every day made it easier for me to avoid other bad habits like eating cheetos for dinner and regretting it the next day.

       4.      Smell. There’s speculation amongst the people of the internet over weather vegetarian poop smells better than most peoples. There’s no conclusive evidence, but I like to think it does.

(And because I couldn’t resist) Reasons you should not be a vegetarian:

       1. Random people feel guilty about eating a burger in front of you.

 2.      It’s easy to get lazy and fat from all the cheese you eat.

 3.      Eating barbeque for your grandpa’s birthday becomes difficult.  

 4.      People assume you’ll only eat healthy food and serve you nothing but salad.

 5.      There is no difference between airlines’ vegetarian meals and vegan meals. Good luck eating your butter-free, egg-less rock hard rolls with your unseasoned rice and beans.

 6.      Going to a British pub and ordering “fish” and chips. As a general rule of thumb, the name of what you’re about to eat should never be in quotes. 

          

         P.S. Don't watch videos from the crazies at PETA after ten PM, nightmares are all but guaranteed if you do. I'm serious, I watched one once, then had a dream that I ate children's arms; it was baaaad.
