(no subject)
haven't been on livejournal like...at all. the other day i posted someone quickly to princesskitu and then i removed it shortly after because it was a little more negative than i would've liked it to be. actually, it itself wasn't negative but it had potential to be negative. and i'm trying to cut all negativity out of my life. i'm especially removing all psychic vampires out of my life.
today i'm sharing a story that has negative undertones but it's mostly just funny.
i went to a baby shower yesterday. the shower was for one of my best friends' sister. it was held at a chinese restaurant so i was working with my friend to make sure my meal was vegetarian. (most chinese places put chicken stock/bouillon in their "vegetarian" dishes.) well, i guess the mom was doing all the ordering and whatnot so rather than trying to explain everything to her mom, she just told her mom i was vegan. (which i didn't know until later.)
sidenote on the mom: she's a grouchy lady. she snaps at people, looks down at them and tries to make them feel stupid.
sooo while i was just sitting and minding my own business, the mom walks over to me, stands very close and over me (like she was showing dominance) and says, "about the cakes... (i'm thinking it's going to tell me they're not vegetarian) ...the butter cream on the cakes isn't actually butter cream." i say, "okay" she says, "it's actually soy" and i say, "oh cool!" and she says, "i'm allergic to soy. so now you can eat them but now i can't." i say, "oh, i didn't know that. i'm not vegan so i'm sorry if you thought i was." and she says, "what? you're not strict...?!" i say, "well, i'm vegetarian but i'm not vegan. i try to be but in situations like this, i eat eggs and dairy and stuff." and she just walked away.
another sidenote: i have no idea if the whole cake was vegan or if it was just the frosting.
so i, in casual conversation, mention to my friend the guilt trip i received from her mother and she just shakes her head and says something like, "ignore her. you know my mom." and then explains to me why she told her mom i was vegan. which i appreciate, actually.
later on, the mom is serving the cakes and i notice that she's licking the frosting off of her fingers! and i'm thinking to myself, "her allergy isn't keeping her from licking her fingers while she's serving people cake! and gross by the way."
and then she has a piece! and eats the whole thing! not just the cake but frosting and all.
seriously, what was the point of the guilt trip? LOL!
