the month of halloween

this is my favourite time of the year. i love halloween. i love it so much that i celebrate it every day of the month.

i have been a vegetarian for a very long time. my mother doesn't understand why i refuse to eat meat. starting october 1 i decided to become vegan. it is driving her crazy because i am asking for soy milk. she keeps saying you will shrivel up if you don't drink milk. my father told her to leave me alone but she said she refuses to buy me my vegan products, my father said fine that i am to give him a grocery list each week and he will get what ever i need.

after a while i heard them arguing and overheard my mother telling my father that he must have told me about his days as a vegan, that is the only way i would know about it. i didn't know my father was vegan. i wonder why he stopped. but it sounds like he did when he married my mother. now i have a secret to figure out.

how i found out about being vegan happened along time ago. i am against animal cruelty and many of the websites i check talk about being vegan. i am old enough to cook my own meals now so i thought this was the best time to start. my father took me aside and told me that not only will he help me prepare meals, he will teach me how and maybe even start eating them with me. latetly i have been discovering that my dad isn't such a jerk.

i also found some really cool websites
