Or are I, rather.
I guess you all can be the first to know that I am making a subtle transition to vegetarianism. My friends Eva, Brie, and Laney did their senior projects on "Is Vegetarianism A Better Way To Live," "Should Animal Experimentatin Be Illegal," and "Do Animals Have Rights?" respectively. Let me jus tell you now -- the most depressing boards in the entire gym.
Eva gave me a DVD from Peta2, which is an animal rights organization for those of you who don't know, and when I watched it at home I sat and cried for two hours. It's so not fair. I hated watching what the hell happens to a cow or a chicken or a pig jus so I can eat it. It's immoral and unjust and sickening. I can't eat meat anymore.
So, of course, because of my new stint of love for animals, I am on my way home tonight and end up running over the head of a deer that may or may not have already been dead because somebody else hit it. It was jus laying there, in the middle of the road, not moving. I know you aren't supposed to, but I swerved a little and only hit it with two tires, but I still was all shaken up about it. I need to get my headlights fixed, srsly, cause didn't see the damn deer until I was literally MUCH too close to avoid hitting it entirely without killing myself. *sigh*
I really don't want to think about what happened to the deer's head, because I can't even imagine it without feeling ill in the stomach, if you know what I mean. Yuck. I immediately started praying that the poor thing was already dead or something by the time I came along, because that would have been a HORRIBLE way to die, not to mention the fact that if it WASN'T dead, it was already suffering immensely from it's wounds.
I'm very upset about all this. Of course the day after I determine my new lifestyle this would happen to me. Of course. So, as the title suggests, I feel like a total hypocrite. And I feel ill. And I have a PKD migraine now that I'm hoping goes away before school tomorrow, which will only make the headache worse. Ugh. Anyway, I'm going to go try to relax.
