WatchSome nice Australian music..
A million miles from empathy
Today I was put down for being too shy of all things. It is true, I am shy…but the way the person said it was hurtful. I have a few French classes at uni with this person. She thought that I never put my hand up to answer questions in class. I don’t answer terribly often but that doesn’t mean I don’t do it all. In my literature classes, I also make an effort in that class...

Occupy Wall Street
Just wanted to say that it’s really uplifting seeing what the people in NYC and all across America are doing with the protests. The people in New York are approaching their second week of the occupy wall street protests. Apparently there has been little coverage in America on these protests, except to show the violent parts. And I’ve heard nothing from the Australian media on it....

alittlestorybook replied to your post: What the Fish?!
sad but true… you really do have to check every little thing. but don’t get down on yourself. you’re still a legit vegetarian! don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. we’re all human and all doing the best we can. :)
Thanks. I usually check the ingredients, and I actually thought that I had checked the ingredients for breadcrumbs before....

What the Fish?!
I just lived through every vegan’s nightmare. That’s right, I realised that I had been eating something with animal products in it. And not just once or twice.
The other day I was craving onion rings so I decided to make some. These things are so delicious! All you need is some flour and non-dairy milk for a batter, some breadcrumbs, and some oil. I thought we had run out of bread...

You believed that you were just being lazy but in reality the reason for your slothful behaviour was that you weren’t enjoying the life you were living.

Submitted!
I’ve just submitted two pieces for a creative writing competition. One was a piece of poetry, the other a short story. I feel great! I’m usually frightened people will think my writing is terrible but now I don’t feel that at all. Maybe because I already know they are terrible? Actually, I wouldn’t say terrible, but they were quickly whipped up. I don’t really care...

hayde-n replied to your post: I am soooo reticent!!
you are reluctant/restrained?
Uh, yes. I am “disposed to be silent or not to speak freely; reserved.” So shy. I am usually the last person to voice their opinion, and sometimes I have to be asked before I will say anything. But yeah, I have been slowly improving in this area in the past year or so. I just found it funny that someone...

ballsohardmothafuckaswannafineme:
But three years ago, we lost one of the greatest literary talents of our generation. You know who I’m talking about. Hopefully anyway. David Foster Wallace died three years ago on this date, by suicide. Battling with depression, Wallace took his own life after his medicine ceased to help him any longer. A master of black humour, he was the author of Infinite...

Endgame: Jensen and Science
I am reading Derrick Jensen’s Endgame at the moment and am thoroughly enjoying it so far. Except for one thing. But before I get to that, I will explain what the book is about, or rather I will let someone else explain it for me. Take it away, Wikipedia!
“Endgame is a two-volume work by Derrick Jensen, published in 2006, which argues that civilization is inherently unsustainable and...
Have been avoiding things lately, but here are some posts to show I am not entirely lazy. Let the jumbled mania commence!

Pizza sans fromage (that means without cheese)
I’ve had pizza two times since going vegan, both without vegan cheese. I didn’t know that it would taste as good as it does! If you haven’t tried it I highly recommend it. Tonight I made a pizza - dough and all (well, not the tomato pizza sauce) - with mushrooms, olives, red pepper, tomato, spinach, and green ‘hot’ chili pepper. It was delicious! Try it. Try it. Try...

Where do you stand?
Damn, I accidentally navigated off the page after writing two and half paragraphs of my post! Now it is all gone.
What I was trying to say was that I am not sure where I stand politically, and how I am going to direct my action. I know this might sound like a cop out in order to sit on the fence and to be lazy. But the truth is I’m still learning, I still have much to learn about politics...

neglect
Hmm, looks like I have been posting much on my blog lately, which sucks because I have thousands of thoughts buzzing in my brain during the day. As soon I sit down at the computer my brain becomes mush.
And I lack confidence.
