Who I’d Be

So, it’s my four year anniversary of being a vegetarian and what a journey it has been. I wish I’d had the self discipline when I started that I have now. It’s funny, thinking back I mostly ate cheese and junk food the first several months I was vegetarian and I never thought I could change those habits, but sitting here now I crave fresh fruits and vegetables more than any other food and I’m discovering that there are a lot more of those than I ever imagined.

For example, Rainier cherries. They are so cute – they look like little fuji apples and they are really good, especially now while they are in season. But I had no idea that one, I even liked cherries (other than maraschino cherries), two, that cherries the fruit taste nothing like cherry the flavor, or three, that there were so many different types of cherries to be explored.

So far, every blog entry has had a theme based on a song from Shrek the musical and today is no exception. As mentioned in my last entry, college is heavy on my mind and now that I have my first official text book (it arrived in the mail today) college is now more reality than fairy tale.
