no alcohol part iii

[... continued]

last night i walked to singer's place, where we spent four hours talking, eating, playing the guitars and polishing her lyrics. it was really nice evening, and i must admit to having felt quite flattered by her appreciation of my lyrics :)

it was 2.30am when i walked out of there, having learned to play (b flat? d flat? whichever) and putting it together with nde and a piece i've been playing for a while... it's worked out quite well. and i can sing to it :)

i slept well, but woke up to stomach woes. i spent the morning posting, enjoying the new facebook picture handling improvements, and arguing with a really cute girl from the rollerblading group about veganism.

veganism propaganda:
starter pack
propaganda advisory
rational response:
b12 sources
a fair debate

when you turn vegan, you don't magically correct the way that the animals are treated. i promise. if you care about them, then go for the gorram source and stop lying to yourself that your passivity is making a difference.

is killing wrong? go on, deny your humanity. our existence, specifically the quantity of us on the planet, is what's taking more lives than you can imagine. you're no bloody hero because you started yourself on a diet that at best might cause you to suffer malnutrition. eat a steak, then go do something useful like running a farm that treats its animals right.

or start wiping out humans. you probably want to.

chc came in to pick something up, and we had a Talk. i refer to my side of the experience as "communication trauma" - i find it difficult to give up on people but she is simply not smart enough to understand the words that come out of my mouth. the more i tried, the more we argued, and it kills me that we were arguing on completely different levels and that she has no clue (although she thinks she does) what i was getting at.

she gave up before i did, and it took me a while to realize that there simply isn't any way to make her understand.

the earlier debate had me thinking that maybe i haven't consumed enough real meat, so i went looking for a burger. i walked quite a bit without finding anything, eventually settling for sliced roast beef from a supermarket (i'm not yet ready to try frying meat).

on the way back i ran into a girl i know whose attitude impressed me no end - even more so in contrast to chc's :P
i got so wrapped up chatting to her about cycling and blading and being environmentally aware that i arrived back home only a minute or two before scrapper rocked up, so i barely had time to scarf something down before playing host :P

we began a d&d campaign this evening because one of the vampire crew couldn't make it... i'm now playing a highly charismatic half-orc with a really bad attitude. i'd feel more awesome about it if i hadn't begun the mission proper on the wrong foot :P
[although i did wipe the floor with an announcer at an illegal fight, that was pretty sweet]

i had a very relaxed weekend that *flew* by, and in the morning i guess i'll do the shit that i was supposed to be focused on today. i'm actually kinda proud of myself for chilling :P
