Hey, thanks for friending me back- I noticed you in some discussion about vegetarianism, and seeing that you were from the same continent, were vegan, and in the same kind of work I intend to be doing when I finally graduate, I figured you'd be someone worth talking with. Hi! :)
You are most welcome. It's a big island, but a small population.
What are you studying? What are the boundaries of your vegetarianism? What's your favourite colour? If you were a butterfly, what kind of wings would you have? If a mime gets squished by a rock in a dessert, does anyone care? Are we self willed, or is everything predetermined, or can you come up with a better version?
I'm doing a BA, double majoring in Political Science and Sociology, which I will finish this year. In addition, I'm also doing a Bachelor of Social Work which I'm halfway through.
Boundaries are that I am sometimes a very good vegan, and sometimes a very bad vegan. I swat mosquitos, don't mind if people hunt rabbits and foxes and other introduced pest species, but I don't eat honey. I think I'm more pragmatic than most, given I grew up in a rural area. My favourite colour varies- it tends to be purple most of the time, though. If I was a butterfly, my wings would be brash and attention seeking and like one of those magic pictures you have to cross your eyes to see the image within. Performing arts is for wankers. I think we're partly self willed, and that things are partly predetermined, but I usually just give up thinking about it and go get drunk like any good philosopher.
How long have you been vegetarian? Define your spirituality in a hundred words or less? Where do you see yourself in ten year's time?
I too swat mosquitos. I remember the fateful day I began to. I was in the Norther Territory in a very small shack with my partner and daughter. The mosquitos were zeroing in on the female flesh and a rage encompassed me. I killed them all - somewhere around 30

I guess that will do for now.
