the POKEMON TYPE meme

Baaaa, I'm a meme sheep! (When it comes to Pokémon, anyway. :D)

In other news, I need to stop obsessively stalking BackYardChickens and get a life! That's like. My entire day, in summary. I am glad I stayed home from class, though--I needed the rest to get over whatever that fever was. I feel the slightest bit weak, but overall I feel just fine.

The good thing about BackYardChickens is that it allows me to get out some of my crazy poultry love around like-minded people, and I've made a lot of friends, learned tons of things, gotten hatching eggs, and just had a grand time in general. The bad thing is that the majority of the forum seems to be right-winger, bible-thumping, anti-animal rights, large family, very "traditional" people. Not nearly all of them, mind you, but one would think after the months I've been on there I would learn to keep my mouth shut on important things to me such as treatment of animals. D': My vegetarian thread that I made a while back, while it eventually went over all right, had so much drama and disrespect and mocking in the beginning. :( It really made me depressed. Is it really THAT wrong to think animals deserve to be treated with respect, compassion, and care? Ugh.

I should watch more anime, especially because Fanime is coming up so fast! For quite a while now I've been out of the loop, and I don't know why! It's not out of lack of wanting to, it's just a matter of not making time for it. Instead I just randomly tool around the internet and do pointless things. The "Series I Want to Watch" list is only getting longer and longer.

In other news, I now have thirty-five legit Arceus. :'D I did not clone them, either! I just used a special trick I learned in pkmncollectors chat, haha. I think that is as many Arceus as I will need in anywhere near the foreseeable future.

Anyway, I'm actually getting up early tomorrow (!!!) so I can go get more chicken food and deliver some hatching eggs to someone in Marysville.

EDIT: Sorry for the HTML failure, my computer is running like a snail ATM. .___.;

I know it's old and boring answer, but I believe the point of their mocking is really just to make themselves feel better because they feel threatened. Just yesterday I was asked by an old friend who I haven't seen in while if I still don't eat meat and upon my answer he blurted the usual "of course you're so pale". I don't understand these comments, by saying that you either mean "I'm worried about your health" or "you're so dumb for hurting yourself like that", possibly both but sorry, I cannot accept being lectured about health by someone blowing cigarette smoke in my face. I even kept my mouth shut not remind him how he considered going vegetarian himself few years ago but couldn't because he liked the taste so much. Can't fight it - join it and pretend you've been on their side all along, right? -.-
Sorry for the rant, I just don't know what's with people nowadays... it's like being a insensitive jerk is a trendy hip thing to be and whoever shows compassion for another living being is a loser.
