I Wish This Was 42 - by Dianna G

2 Years!

June 18th 2009 13:10
Happy belated birthday to this blog! Though it's fallen by the wayside for the most part, it was here that I started. As of May 13th I have officially been blogging with Orble for 2 years. I missed the date but I knew it was sometime around the beginning of summer. So I just checked and there it was.

I've come and I've gone for one reason or another; but every time I come back after one of my disappearances I get the same warm welcome. I see old friends here-Kleo, Katyzzz who have made me feel welcome as long as I've been here-and make new ones. Though it's not as close as some communities I'm a part of-like Nanowrimo-the warmth of this community always draws me back.


There are many blogs I've started and abandoned but this site I have always come back to. It's a warm environment. Though we are bloggers, here the bloggers are closer than on most other sites. We go out of our way to find other bloggers and welcome them to the community. This is a blogging community, not just a site that hosts blogs, and that is why I like this site.

This place is something else, not like the other places. The other sites. It always has been-and I have kept coming back. Even when I couldn't get online for months, when I finally got consistent internet again I've always come back. And I fully intend to keep coming back. Hopefully I won't need to disappear again, but if I do, I will come back.

It feels great to say I've been committed to blogging for this long. My blogs here are my single greatest body of work that is available to the public. I am incredibly proud of what I have done here and how far I have come in the last two weeks.

Thank you to everyone who's ever left a comment and all my silent readers too. And thank you especially to Kleo and Katyzzz, my two favourite bloggers.

Soooo...

September 16th 2008 23:14
You guys if you've been paying attention all know that I skipped eight months last year. I'm having a hard time getting back into the routine of going to all my classes; I've been skipping a fair bit, though I have been to all my classes more than once. *Dances*

Well, I actually had a very good reason not to go back to school after lunch; I've been freaked out since lunch.

There were cops. And vice principals.

Four kids from my school got arrested, a friend of mine heard something about a stabbing.

My friend's boyfriend got stabbed last year.

My school is really not a safe place to be.


I love it.

Why I'm A Vegetarian

August 22nd 2008 00:18
I don't eat meat except for twice a year on Daddy's birthday and the anniversary of his death (although I did a couple of days ago because I can barely eat anything. Yay for sore gums turning me anorexic *nod*). I eat fish and dairy. But I won't touch eggs. Here are some of the reasons why I'm veg. I'm going to skip the Meet Your Meat video. Let's just say that apparently animal cruelty laws don't count for food. Especially not hens that lay eggs. *Shudder* *Sick to her stomache*

Here are some links:

Really Long Link

In short, 'cause it saves water and is actually great for the environment. I also am strongly against animal cruelty. But today we're looking at environmental stuff.

Did you know: if all the food produced to feed animals was used to feed humans instead, we could feed about 15 billion people. (That said it WOULD help if birth control was wide spread and free, yup. Then we wouldn't be overpopulating the world so much to begin with.)

http://www.enviroveggie.com/

This one is more detailed on how they came to their decision.

If every rich person in the world ate no meat for one week out of the year, well... good stuff would happen. Can't remember that statistic.

Did you know: local is better than organic for the environment-and meat is made in factory farms, which are cruel and the word 'factory' is bad for the environment. Transporting the food is also horrible for the environment, and that doesn't help matters much, does it?

This link wasn't worth it, but here's a quote from Dr. Something Or Other with his spiffy PhD in something:

“The way that we breed animals for food is a threat to the planet. It pollutes our environment while consuming huge amounts of water, grain, petroleum, pesticides and drugs. The results are disastrous.”

The rest of the links I saw weren't worth my time, either. I didn't think so, at least. I like the environment. I like farmer's markets. I don't like wasting food. I like energy conserving light bulbs. I like solar power. Would like it more if I could afford it *nod*. I don't like factory farming. I don't like pesticides. I don't like wasting water. I don't like to see animals horribly mistreated just so that humans can eat. (Don't like humans very much to begin with.)

I'm not saying 'vegetarian is the only way'. Hell, I've dated guys that ate meat. I've never dated a vegetarian guy, actually. Most of my family eats meat (makes my life a bit tricky but oh well) and I used to eat meat, too. I have plenty of friends who aren't vegetarian. (And a number of friends who look at me funny when I remind them that I am.)

I'm just pointing out some facts about why I'm vegetarian. This is what you get. You're stuck with it 'cause you're stuck with me and every now and again I feel like talking about what I believe in. If you don't like it, don't read it.

Thank you -.-

None of which are ruined by one little abortion.

And I commented because I was offended and because I enjoy the debate every now and again. Gets the adrenaline going

Hey Dianna, you are one screwed up puppy little girl. Go play in your sandbox. Your condescending attitude, and over all desire to be a big girl has clouded any one ever taking you seriously

-You can be taken so seriously, yourself. Because you're at least three times as condescending. Yes, I know I have a mental illness, but it has nothing to do with sex or abortion

SL, I'm done.

July 26th 2008 19:56
I'm done arguing pathetic points with a person who will never even accept that some people do believe it. Yes, AIDs is a result of promiscuity. But most women are FORCED into prostitution, and most feminists see that as wrong. Most women are PRESSURED into sex, and again, feminists see that as wrong. One out of every three women is sexually abused at some point in their lifetime.

What sane person would deny these women, raped women, victims of incest, the right to abortion

Are you aware?

June 13th 2008 23:06
Are you aware of the struggles we live through, every day? Are you aware of the pain that people can feel and have felt?

Do you know what it's like to be poor? Do you know what it's like to be on the edge of homelessness? To be suffering from depression? To feel as though nothing can go right? Do you know what it's like to be near starving, but never quite starving
