So this past week or so I've caught up with some friends I used to go to high school with via the internet. It's been shocking at best and slightly disturbing as well. Dredging up old memories for me can be hard from time to time. Especially when I was so close with these people and we drifted apart as we did. It really wasn't for any particular reason just life taking us down very different paths.
I am happy though, to be caught up with my friend Renee. We were the goofiest bunch of idiots together always being loud and boisterous not giving a fuck about what other people had to say about us. Now she is living in the city with another friend of mine from high school and living our dream when we were kids. Personally now, I wouldn't live in the city if you paid me. But it's awesome she is making things happen there.
There was also discovery that the guy I went to the prom with is two hairs shy of being famous. He's a successful sculpture, video producer, and big time animal activist. It's so weird to see some of the videos that he has produced, Some of the artistic ideas that come flowing from his brain. I keep thinking, was he like this when we were friends in high school? I knew he was incredibly talented, but I guess I couldn't see farther than where we were at the time.
Anyway, I was watching one of his friends "vegan parenting" videos and became interested in the idea of Soy milk. What struck me was a women was talking about cow milk. She said "cow milk is meant for baby cows, not for human consumption" I thought to myself, it only makes sense! So tonight my roommate was telling me about how her baby has been getting rashes because of my roommate drinking cows milk (she's breast feeding so whatever mum eats baby eats in a way) so she had decided she was going to try out Soy milk. So, that's when I decided if she buys, I will try it, if it's good, I will drink it in substitution for cows milk.
She just got home from the grocery about a half an hour ago, let me tell you. Soy milk is YUMMY. It sort of has a rice pudding taste. With out the lumps of rice of course. It even comes in chocolate and vanilla. I think it is going to be well worth the extra couple of bucks. Although I am not willing to go 100% vegan. I think it's a fantastic alternative to cows milk. Especially with all the hormones they are injecting into cows now, to make the produce more milk or grow bigger in general.
So, KUDOS Soy milk. Erica is on your side.
*I am sure the opinion I expressed here is not necessarily one that Mik will agree with. I think if he tastes Soy milk though he will thoroughly enjoy it and make the switch with me. I am just crossing my fingers that Australia has jumped on the Soy milk wagon and it isn't hard to find.

She looks so innocent, and then you look at her hand and what she has in it. Do you think she was mad? Or was it an calculated act or revenge?
