Hello 23
Posted by Aurus | Filed under Personal, Vegetarianism, Work | 73 views
So this past Tuesday I turned 23. o_O
I only have one thing to say: YIKES!!
I didn’t always respond to my birthday like this. But, as the years went on, my reactions have changed.
Kid years: “Yay! Party! Presents!”
Teen years: “Cool, I’m now __teen!”
Twenties: “Noooo!”
Yeah. =/ I don’t exactly hate getting older - after all, there’s really nothing I can do about it. But I don’t like it, either. I feel that time is going by a little too quickly for me. I’m in no hurry to grow up.
Anyway, Tuesday was also Earth Day. Ironically, I generated more waste. Since it is er, customary at our workplace to treat everyone on one’s birthday, I brought “veggie happy meals” for my coworkers. The food was put in disposable starchware containers, which are more environment friendly, but still, waste is waste. (To my coworkers: Not that I’m saying I shouldn’t have treated you! Haha.)
Of course, I can’t be talking about all this food without posting some pictures. My mom did all the cooking by the way, because I’m a slow one and I had to get ready for work.
Mock chicken in the foreground. Vegetarian meatballs in the background.
Marble taters! They weren’t cooked in this picture yet.
Mock chicken and vegetarian meatballs again, with vegetarian sausages.
That’s all, folks! This old lady is going to bed. Haha.

Hahha, you’re right. my reactions are the same thing as well. My 23rd bday will be in a month as well, so I’ll be hiding. Your pictures are just amazing!

Why did you become a vegetarian anyway?

For the animals.

But what was the turning point? Or should you write that on a separate post?

Ah well I’ve always loved animals, even when I was younger I wanted to become vegetarian but didn’t think that I could do it. Then there was a time when Good Charlotte became my favorite band, and some of the members are vegetarian. I was inspired by them. =D
What about you?
