Workout
zonk
520am- gkajhfgah what really i have to get up?
615am- text dancer friend to say i'm gonna be 5 late cause i need coffee. bad. I just watched Food, Inc though...which means a) i am trying not to buy coffee without providing my own container and b) i'm even more high maintenance...now not just vegan but also developing a huge "i actually give a crap about this planet" affliction. so the only place open believe it or not was Dunkin Donuts. ick! i've despised them for a while, but now ugh. But i'm a slave to the bean. So i brought my own cup and get this: my OWN soy creamer and raw sugar in the cup already! (ok i know that's high maintenance but i didn't have time to make my own coffee and i know DD doesn't have soy!) they looked in my cup with the most perplexed look. hahaha. "just put the coffee in there! it doesn't matter what's in there!"
btw this craze of mine doesn't stop here. i'm shedding my "but i'm only one person-ness" in favor of...everything counts. i'm composting! no worms, just freezing small bags of organic waste and when i fill the grocery bag take it to whole foods. yes. this is going to be annoying and i may end up just having a freezer full of coffee grinds, apple cores zucchini tips and coffee grinds in bags. and i'm recycling non-nyc-recyclable plastics! no, i didn't move to cali...I'm filling another grocery bag with these things and bringing them to park slope food coop. yes, that is going to be annoying too. But everything must count. I'm DONE wasting.
i'm so tired.
620 bharatanatyam dancing with S! we are ridiculous, getting up at this hour to dance. but it's so worth it. we both have 3 dance items to perform on may 1st and i'll be damned if not prepared. went well...figured out the whole item...well except the last 2 minutes.
715 taught yoga class...more people than expected showed and it was beautiful energy!
10 worked all day.
zonked.

it's sometimes so difficult being stubborn with what you put in your body -- i feel like people seriously judge when you're particular. i'm feeling seriously tempted to stop trying to explain being paleo and i just saying i have a gluten and lactose intolerance...apparently, making the "choice" to eat a certain way is not as acceptable as when you simply can't...why do people feel so threatned when you make healthy choices for yourself?!

i so agree!! I wanted to go with my sisters and brothers out to eat...they picked a fancy french place. French cooking is like, ANTI vegan. butter...excuse me, buerre! buerre et lait et les oeufs, en le pastes! porquoi??? haha, i'm tryin to say that even the pasta dishes...even the VEGETABLE dishes had meat or animal product in it. I asked if they could make me the "so and so" dish with no dairy and he asked "are you allergic?" I could have said "no. WORSE, i'm VEGAN! and made a scary face but...i wanted to make as little of a scene as possible cause everyone was already staring at me for asking questions and so i simply said "yes." and then i got my meal with no dairy. viola!!
