Much Farther To Go

Ugh, it’s Valentine’s Day, but I’m not really here to complain about that, although that’s what this might turn into. I came to school to study today, and haven’t gotten much done. Don’t quite know what to blame it on. Having my computer with me would be a good start…I should really have this thing taken away…OH but I was listening to Radio 1, and they played this amazing song, which at first I wasn’t too too impressed with, but these lyrics caught my ear:

I will never love you more than singing in the shower
I will never love you more than my Mac computer
I will never love you more than having a daughter
I will never love you more than peanut butter

First because my macbook is my life, and second cuz I’ve been eating a LOT of peanut butter lately. It’s like manna from heaven. For some reason (well, no I have reasons) I’ve given up meat. I am a veg! It hasn’t been that long, but I can’t honestly remember the last meal I prepared with meat. Various people ask me why, and I have various answers. To my housemates, I say it’s for lent (then I get veg pizza! woo!). It’s also a good fall back if I want to go back to meat. But even thinking about having any now is kinda gross. But the thing is…I don’t have reasons, health, ethical or other. The treatment of animals has never bothered me, even though maybe it should have. I really ever only ate chicken, anything else would’ve been a rare occasion, probably prepared for me or at a restaurant. I found a nice recipe for bean burgers, and figured hey, why not change my life? I hate beans, by the way.
