In addition to MySpace, I have a Facebook. I used to hate stuff like that, but I'm finding I'm liking Facebook more and more. Very strange. LiveJournal, of course, still tops my list.

Speaking of websites, YouTube is addictive. The funniest thing I ever saw on there is two Chinese guys acting out the Backstreet Boys. I was in so much pain I was

Your layout is so colourful!

Yup. I normally go for "colours" like black, white, grays, blues. But I feel like pumping up the energy. Maybe it's just the season or something. Although April showers...

I just don't think of it as a moral knowledge/learning process, but some might and that would be their choice then.

Yep...I see what you mean. I also thought of it this way: animals have to kill each other to survive and eat. I guess it's just the circle of life.

The reason I brought this up in the first place is because throughout my life, I always knew about the animals/meat thing, but it didn't really affect me, not matter how much I knew. What changed was I read this book in English and it freaked me out. I never has something like that before - a book or movie changing my thinking to that extent. I mean, books and tv can change our thinking, but honestly, sometimes when I'm eating beef, all I can think of is a cow's face. It's funny, and at the same time, sad.

What book was it?

Under the Skin by Michel Faber. It starts off normal, and then goes really strange. On a level, it's about hitchhiking. On another, about about human behaviour.
