Wow, I can't believe how long it has been since i've updated this blog. Oops! So, what's new with me? Well this whole vegetarian thing is going pretty well. My family still gives me shit from time to time, but it doesn't bother me. Now that I no longer eat meat I have been introduced to new and exciting foods! Oh, and an interesting thing....if I do happen to eat meat....I get sick. Yeah, no lie. The meat tastes horrible too. The other week I was so hungry for chicken all day. I came home from work to find that my mother was fixing, you guessed it, chicken. So I decided I would have a small piece. HORRIBLE IDEA! The chicken was perfectly done, or at least the way I use to like it. But when I bit into it...it tasted raw. It was as if I just picked up a piece of raw chicken and sunk my teeth into it. And just the 2 or 3 bites I had made me so sick to my stomach. Now I can definitely say that I don't crave meat at all.
Oh! Some randomness! I got my labret pierced. That's the space between your chin and bottom lip. I had been thinking about it for a while but kept talking myself out of it. And watching youtube videos and googling all the horrible things that can go wrong doesn't help at all. But I finally did it. It actually didn't hurt. It happened so fast that before my brain could fully register "HOLY FUCKBALLS BATMAN, THERES A NEEDLE THROUGH MY LIP!" it was all done! Taking care of it for the first week wasn't as bad as I expected either. Basically all common sense stuff. The only problem I have is at work. My wonderful place of employment doesn't approve of facial piercings, so mine has to be covered with a band-aide. What is more disturbing...me serving you a latte with a tiny silver ball below my lip, or me serving you a latte with a bandage covering me chin? Oh and I can't really talk with the bandage on. Yea, I rest my case. It is also a HUGE confidence dropper. So many good looking guys come into the store, look at me, then run the other way. I've come close to just sticking my head in the coffee grinder....
Oooh, I would like to mention that I am seeing one of my favorite bands TWICE this summer. I will be seeing Kings of Leon on June 8th (4 days after my bday) and September 8th (8 days before my sisters bday). I'm really really excited! I was hoping to see Tegan and Sara on their U.S. tour but couldn't find anyone to go with me. I'm hoping to see a lot of concerts this summer. Natalie Merchant just released her first album with new material in 7 years. I checked her site to see if she would be touring...she is...and the concert closest to me is sold out. Rah. So next I'm hoping Melissa Etheridge will be touring for her new cd. And I really hope that the next time Sophie B. Hawkins comes around here that she plays at a place that isn't 21+. I know, I'm quite demanding. Bring on the "no wonder you're single" jokes. My good friend Hayley has yet to go to a concert, so this summer, come hell or high water, we are attending Lilith Fair in D.C. Tegan and Sara are suppose to play some shows, if they play the one in D.C. there is a good chance I'll totally geek out.
Well, I think this has been enough pointless ranting for one evening, eh? Till next time...
