Wow. My cousin, aunt, and family friends are all recently Vegan. Watching them eat makes me think it is hard. They all started semi-vegetarian.

Semi-Vegetarian-Don’t eat beef or pork. Still eat turkey and chicken.

Then they switched to full Vegetarians.

Vegetarian-Don’t eat any meat.

My cousin started to stop eating cheese because some slices of cheese are wrapped in cow skin. That led to Vegan ism.

Vegan- Don’t eat meat or any animal products including milk, cheese, eggs, etc.

I think this is crazy and hard. No milk, cheese, eggs, meat, yogurt, ice cream, CRAZY! Then they told me it goes beyond that. No marshmallows or jello. (Gelatin AKA Cow/horse hooves) Most candies are off limits because they have processed sugar. Why no processed sugar? In the processing, they soak it in a pot with a cow bone. A COW BONE! I think this way of life is absurd. I understand wanting to help the animals, but this is so restrictive. There are so many rules. It is worse then counting calories. I like my food to be enjoyable, not work.

So why do they do it? Haylee says to prevent animal cruelty. Rich says he doesn’t think anything should have to suffer to be on his plate. WHen I mentioned the workers harvesting or cooks, he said they get paid. I don’t know, but I like meat, and milk, cheese, and eggs, well you get my point.

OK, I guess Tammi’s Tuesday’s just wasn’t for me, so I am doing a similiar thing, but the story is called Murderous Roses. I have written 3 chapters so far. I have made a comprmise with myself. I won’t post EVERY week, but I will post as often as possible. (Not more than once a week)

So do you want to know what happens? Well, I wrote down my brainstorming, but I won’t put it all on, just a small sneak peek. I don’t want this to be boring to me or you. I brainstormed, then after I started writing, I changed my brainstorm. Most of the changed was to the climax(Which you won’t see) but there are some changes:

young girl who loves flowers
good life(rich, friends, loving family) but then kidnapped from house at Saturday September 30 1999 (birthday)
at party, went to get mail, saw car, driver(female) offered flowers, girl went to trunk to buy flowers, lady shoved girl in trunk and drove away, friends come but can’t find her
lady beats girl and sends hostage note…
…
…

Second Brainstorm

First Brainstorm14 year old girl, Jessica
loves flowers
gets kidnapped from her B-day party
kidnapper is nice to girl
they always talk
send hostage note
…
…
…

Comment with ideas!

At 1 AM on New Year’s Day, I went to my cousin Haylee’s house and spent the night. We actually stayed up until 5:30 AM. We talked and looked at 20 or so photo albums. Some were baby books for her and her 2 brothers, but most were old albums of her mom’s, AKA my aunt Bunny’s. We saw pictures of her dances and prom, and a bunch of old photos of her and her friends, who we know now as adults. It was fun. The best picture was of our family friend Ian, wearing RED LIPSTICK! HAHAHAHAHA!!!! When we were ready to sette down,(4AM) we couldn’t find the TV remote ANYWHERE! After a 30 minutes search we found it in the playroom. We watched TV until we fell asleep.

We woke up at 9 (3.5 hours later) and asked my mom if I could spend the day with her. She said yes and we wondered what we were going to do as her mom, dad, and brothers left for the day. Our family friend Rich came over and took us to Santa Cruz.

Haylee and Rich are both Vegan, limiting their food options, so we went to a Vegan restraunt called Saturn Cafe. It was surprisingly good, but extremely wild! Crazy deco! We had vegan nachos and vegan nacho fries, which were weird but YUMMY! The base was either chips or fries, with beans, diced tomatoes, diced onions, guacomole and sour cream. I hate half of those things, but they tasted good together! Haylee and Rich both got Vegan burgers and I got a normal burger. It was really good, but kind of pricey. 40 dollars for the three of us.

After that we went to San Jose and hung out at the mall. We walked around and took really cute pictures in one of those booths. After that we went to Target, and Jamba Juice, then went home. It was a fun day.

I had a good Christmas, which was followed with alot of great gifts. From Santa, I got a hot pink, 8gb, 4th gen Ipod nano which I have filed half way already with songs, and a few TV shows. I also got a Fly Fusion Pen from my mom. It is an electronic notebook that helps with homework. You can also use it to write, draw, or play music. Then upload it to the computer. It’s super cool.

Along with that, I got a TON of stuff. I got cash and gift cards for one thing. I also got a clock, some CDS, a flameless candle, a jacket and scarf for Yosemite, a 6month Netflix subscription, a big Twilight poster, 2 twilight shirts, 2 Twilight stickers, a pair of diamond earrings, the Twilight soundtrack, an amythest butterfly necklace, boots, Dream Life Superstar, an Itunes giftcard, a temporary tatoo set, a messenger bag kit, lots of lipgloss, lotions, shower gel, notebooks, and many other things.

Christmas was great familywise and giftwise. Thank you to everyone! Hope you all had a good Christmas.
