Here goes

Well, last night (technically still this night since I haven't gone to sleep yet...) was the last night of eating meat for the entire summer. My friends and I went to Bertucci's, because where else would we go? I ordered the something shrimp, purportedly spicy but in actuality rather whatever. I mean, it was tasty and all, but I was expecting a sauce rife with crushed red pepper. Instead, I got a relatively tasty but plainly marinara sauce to accompany the shrimps, broccoli, asparagus, and peas with linguini.
At any rate, I enjoyed my "last supper", but I am looking forward to this adventure.
Quote of the night: "Erin, did you just say that you are going to go on a journey of self-discovery and that Leah is going to help you? How can someone help you on one of those?"

I have an announcement to make

I have decided that I am going to try being a vegetarian for the entire summer. I have several reasons. I am trying to get healthier, thinner, and all those other positive-change adverbs regarding my physical health. I also have come to the realization that it is hypocritical of me to hold certain opinions regarding beef (more on that later) and I can't stand hypocrites, so I am not going to let myself do that.

My family is joining me on my adventure. The United States makes up 1/15 of the world's population and eats 1/3 of the world's meat. As of now, 4 less people will be eating it here in Connecticut.
