You Are Rocky Road Ice Cream

Unpredictable and wild, you know how to have fun. You're also a trendsetter who takes risks with new things. You know about the latest and greatest - and may have invented it! You are most compatible with vanilla ice cream.

You Are An Exclamation Point

You are a bundle of... well, something. You're often a bundle of joy, passion, or drama. You're loud, brash, and outgoing. If you think it, you say it. Definitely not the quiet type, you really don't keep a lot to yourself. You're lively and inspiring. People love to be around your energy. (But they do secretly worry that you'll spill their secrets without even realizing it.) You excel in: Public speaking You get along best with: the Dash

Enough??? More later.

You know, one of my pet peeves is how people tease blonds and tell them that they're dumb. I HATE THAT SO MUCH!!!! So here is a whole row devoted to my awesome hair, 'Cuz anyone can be dumb, especially the people who think hair color decides how smart you are. BLONDS TOTALLY ROCK. Oh, and just for kicks, the row after that is for brown-eyed beauties!!!  LOL.

AREN'T THESE CRAYONS SO AWESOMELY PERFECTLY COOL AND CRAZY-LOOKING!!!??? I WANNA PACK OF THESE!!!!!

SHAKE IT, PIGGY, SHAKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BLINKIES!

OK, no more blinkies. Here is the saddest poem in the world.

My name is Sarah
I am but 3
 My eyes are swollen,
I cannot see
 I must be stupid
 I must be bad
what else could make my daddy so mad?
 I wish i were better
I wish i werent ugly
Then maybe my mommy
would still want to hug me
 I cant speak at all
I cant do no wrong
Or i'm locked up
 all the day long
When i awake
 i'm all alone
The house is dark
my folks arent home
When my mommy does come
 I'll try and be nice
 and maybe i'll get
 just one whipping tonight
 Dont make a sound
I just heard a car
 My daddy is back
from Charlie's Bar
 I hear him curse
 my name he calls
 I press myself
against the wall
I try and hide
 From his evil eyes
I'm so afraid now I'm starting to cry
He finds me weeping
 He shouts ugly words
 He says its my fault
he suffers at work
 He slaps me and hits me
 And yells at me more
 I finally get free
 I run for the door
 He's already locked it
 I start to bawl
He fakes me and throws me
Against the hard wall
I fall to the floor
with bones nearly broken
 My daddy continues
 with more bad words spoken
 I'm sorry I scream
 But now its to late
 His face had been twisted
 Into unimaginable hate
The hurt the pain
 Again and again
Oh god have mercy
 Oh please let it end
And he finally stops
He heads for the door
 I lay there motionless
sprawled on the floor

 My name is Sarah
 I am but 3
Today my daddy
MURDERED ME

WEIRD SQUARE THINGS!

THERE ARE WAY TO MANY LITTLE SQUARE THINGIES THAT I WANNA PUT ON HERE!!!!!!!! =[ So hard to restrain myself. But I can handle it. I think. You know what I've always wished? I've always wished  I could go bungee jumping. LOL. =] Here is just some random stuff that touched my H-E-A-R-T. Some of it is about boys, friends, anything. Just stuff.

(To glue the pieces back together...)






I miss the old days when boys still had cooties and the only thing you cried about was having your crayons stolen or getting a scraped knee....

I'm a vegetarian, and I'm proud of it! Did you know, that vegetarians are smarter, healthier, and they live longer? Yep. It's a proven fact. But I'm not doing it so that I can live longer or anything. I'm doing it for the animals. I'm going to give you guys a few links, but you have to PROMISE not to watch it if you have a weak stomach or heart or if you don't like graphics stuff. I couldn't get past the first minute. It made me sick. But anyway, maybe this will convince you people to become veggies (And remember, they are GRAPHIC! BE CAREFUL!):

This first one is about chickens>>> http://www.goveg.com/factoryFarming_chickens.asp

This next one is about cows (really scary)>>> http://www.goveg.com/factoryFarming_cows.asp

And now time for pigs>>> http://www.goveg.com/factoryFarming_pigs.asp

You know those giant birds you eat on Thanksgiving? They're called Turkeys. And they are living animals too, you know!>>> http://www.goveg.com/factoryFarming_turkeys.asp

Don't these videos make you wanna cry? It's terrible. Here are some vegetarian facts:

*Vegetarianism has traditionally been linked to the people of ancient India. Even today, Indians make up more than 70 percent of the world's vegetarian population. (GO INDIA!)

*The first Vegetarian Society was formed in 1847 in England. The main aim of the members was to dispel the common belief that it's not possible to lead a healthy life without eating meat. (Yay, people in England, you rock!)

*British research shows that a child's IQ predicts his likelihood of becoming a vegetarian as a young adult. You guessed it: the smarter the child, the more likely he'll eventually shun meat. (Does this mean I'm really, really smart...? =D)

*The list of famous vegetarians includes Sir Paul McCartney, Ozzy Osborne, Sinead O'Connor, Brad Pitt, Albert Einstein, Henry Ford and Leonardo da Vinci. (Ozzy Osborne...? Albert Einstein...? Henry Ford...? Leonardo da Vinci...? AWESOME!)

*And then, of course, it's believed that Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian during the latter part of his life. In fact, it's said that he predicted that the world of the future would be vegetarian. Records show that Hitler amused himself by telling grim stories of slaughterhouses while entertaining meat-eating guests. When they were put off their food, he would mock them for their hypocrisy. On one such occasion, he remarked: "That shows how cowardly people are. They can't face doing certain horrible things themselves, but they enjoy the benefits without a pang of conscience.” (This one's kinda iffy, as my mom would put it. I don't believe in World War Two and what Hitler did but I guess him being a vegetarian is pretty cool.)

*The National Cancer Research Institute found that women who eat meat on a daily basis are almost 4 times more likely to get breast cancer than those women who eat little or no meat. (Oh yeah!)

*Meat contains approximately 14 times more pesticides than plant foods. (Yup, totally true.)

*About 7 billion farm animals die or are slaughtered each year in the U.S. for the production of flesh food. =*(

*Many factory-farmed animals never see a blade of grass in their lifetime. (That's like us girls never seeing a piece of chocolate! *GASP* It's like, horrible!)

*In the egg industry, male chicks are considered useless so are often thrown into a grinding machine- ALIVE! (ALIVE?! Imagine the pain!)

*Number of pure vegetarians who can be fed on the amount of land needed to feed one person consuming a meat-based diet: 20 (So you can help the environment while your at it!)

*A lot more water is required in animal agriculture than in plant agriculture. It takes only about 25 gallons of water to produce a pound of wheat and around 390 gallons to produce just one pound of beef. In fact, It takes less water to produce the food that a pure vegetarian needs for one year than to produce the food that a meat eater needs for a month. (AND SAVE WATER TOO! This is like buying an ice cream cone and coming home with three!)

*60 million people will starve to death this year - 60 million people could be adequately fed by the grain saved if Americans reduced their intake of meat by 10 percent. (No, FOUR ice-cream cones!)

*Diet now followed by the original actor who played Ronald McDonald in McDonald's child-oriented commercials: Vegetarian (Hahaha. Sorry, that's really funny. McDonalds theme song: "Badabababa, I'm hating it!")

*It is scientifically proven that a pig is smarter than a three year old human toddler. (So why do we kill pigs? I f we do, why not just eat a toddler? Yah, didn't think so.)

HOW TO BECOME A VEGETARIAN:
STEP 1: Give up red meat today.

This means pork too. That "other white meat" stuff is not even worthy
of an explanation. Regardless, doing so will be good for your health
anyway. It immediately decreases the amount of toxins in your body
and you don't throw your system into "shock" by changing years of diet
overnight (hence, my theory on why sometimes beginning vegetarians
may look a little "pasty").

STEP 2: Plan to give up chicken and any other land animals.

Do this when you feel comfortable after having completed step 1. You have
made a graduated change and are now processing less toxins on a daily
basis. You may likely notice that you generally feel better
physically. Personally, I would suffer illnesses a lot less after
this period. Regardless, you should feel better mentally, knowing
that you are no longer contributing to the cruelty of factory farming.
P.S. Land animals includes all birds (read poultry).


STEP 3: Start taking different fish out of your diet.

If you want to, feel free to stop right here (see *** below). My
recommendation is to selectively begin removing fish from your diet
one to two years after you've given up all land animals. Lobsters
should be one of the first things to go, unless you're content in the
knowledge of them being boiled alive. Crabs too.  Come up with whatever system
works for you. Not only should you be reducing the types of fish you
eat, you should also be reducing how often you eat any seafood. Start
at maybe once a week , then move towards once a month. Start with
swordfish, then move towards shrimp (essentially, further away from
your species).


STEP 4: Look for other ways to reduce your "cruelty-intake."

This step can begin at any time. Before, after, or even during the
other steps. As long as you are contributing financially to a company
that abuses animals, they will not change their ways. Battery hen
conditions are truly sickening (and unhealthy). Buy eggs only from
"free-range" producers (sure they may cost a little more, but do you
really want to help perpetuate cruelty?). Perhaps, you could try egg
substitutes. Be on the lookout for products that contain gelatin
(ground up hooves, etc.), these are products like Jell-O, some ice
creams, some yogurts. Leather? Your call. You get the point.


******: Don't get too worked up over it all!

The most important thing is that you feel good about yourself and what
you are doing. It's easy to beat one's self
up about not going all the way vegan, but I feel that this is counter-
productive. Every little bit you do helps. So, don't get worked up
over something like that your grandmother, who, despite not budging on
changing her learned diet one bit, at least agrees to give her fur
coats to charity or toss them out. She is now "part of the solution."
Change, be it for yourself, or the world, is gradual.


******: You do not have to go "all out" from Day One.

Occasionally, you will get cornered by a carnivore and harassed about
"claiming to be a vegetarian but still wearing leather shoes." It's not about
being either an absolute saint or sinner. It is not a black or white
issue. It is complex and there are many levels/shades of gray in
between.

TYPES OF VEGETARIANS (Yes, there are types!)

*Semi-Vegetarian:  Eats dairy products, poultry, fish and eggs and excludes all other meat.
*Pesco-Vegetarian: Eats dairy products, eggs and fish and excludes all other meat.
*Lacto-ovo Vegetarian  (the most popular): Eats dairy products and eggs but no other meat.
*Lacto-Vegetarian: Eats only dairy products and excludes eggs and all other meat.
*Ovo-Vegetarian: Eats only eggs, and excludes dairy products and all other meats.
*Vegan (the strictest): Eats no animal products of any kind.
(I'm a Lacto-ovo Vegetarian, but trying to work my way up to the Vegan)


Number of American adults who say they are vegetarian: 12.4 million
Percentage of these self-described vegetarians who say they eat red meat once a month: 20
Percentage who say they are vegans (eat no eggs or dairy): 4
YAY! Keep it up people. (Except for you people who eat red meat. =0 Bleh.) I wonder if this is true for kids too...?

Percentage of U.S. water used for some phase of livestock production: 50
Water needed to produce 1 pound of meat: 2,500 gallons
Water needed to produce 1 pound of wheat: 25 gallons
Oh yeah baby!

OK, now on to the fun part: PICTURES! (Some of these pics are about vegans. I'm NOT a vegan, but I wish I were so I'm putting them on there anyway. Who knows? Maybe soon I will be a vegan...)
