muffinbutton

Insert the best depiction of a sarcastic person here cuz that's what I look like.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who heard the rumor about Jennifer Lawrence skinning a live squirrel in a movie she was in, in fact I'm probably last to know... Anyway. Yes, it's true she said, "Screw PETA!" lol But it is not true that the little guy was alive. THANKFULLY oh my gosh.

When I first heard about it, of course I researched le interwebs to see if it was all true. Skinning a dead animal? That I can deal with. But if it was alive... I had to know cuz I like this chick. And I was just like whoa... Even if I didn't like her, Not. Cool.

So anyway. Fastforward, I learn the little guy was sadly hit by a car before the shoot and so on a positive note, he didn't feel a thing. (except the car... ;_; but accidents happen.) I was happy with my discoveries, and so I was sharing these revelations with my siblings. Before I even finished, younger bro and sis were all like, "I don't understand. Are you a member of PETA?"

...

Are you freaking kidding me??

After what happened yesterday with Minni and those douchebags on the way home, I was thinking how happy I was that no one I knew was like them. Now the very next morning, I find out my own BROTHER & SISTER are perfectly fine with not just the antagonization of animals, but also the torture thereof. Their excuse? "It happens everyday." and "It's just a squirrel. It's not a big deal."

Umm. Pardon me a sec, but yes. Yes it is a big deal. I'm not about to turn vegetarian or get in line to pose nude to garner "awareness," but I'm not ok with people torturing innocent creatures for their own sick twisted pleasure. And not being ok with something like that does not make me radical; I'm normal. Most people detest the idea of animal cruelty. It's only a select few in our civilized world who have some far out misguided ideal that intentionally hurting creatures just because they're smaller and less intelligent than you is ok. And unfortunately, it only takes a few.

:D I finally finished these guys! They are for Cooks Children's Hospital -part of this charity project we did at work. They came out cute! Yay!!!

In light of recent...events... I feel the need to state the following:

Definition, Muffinbutton: 1). A meaningless nickname my younger brother bestowed upon me years ago for no reason.
2). The visible belly button displayed on a chick's muffin top.

<.< ... That is all.

After....I'm not sure how many hours, but many MANY hours, my journal is somewhat decent. Somewhat.

I decided for now to go with a love theme, since Valentine's Day is around the corner. I WAS going to go with a Spring theme because I am SO excited about Winter ending, but... Despite the warm Texas weather, it is still January. Even for me, the celebration seems...too soon. I did kind of cheat, though -what with my grass entry background. Yeah! Take THAT, Winter! (A side note: I LOVE how the grass here never died this year! XD)

Now, completely aside from the design of my journal, I have not entirely decided what I'm going to use this thing for. I've thought about just doing the standard, normal entries about life, and I don't mind doing those I guess. I just get lazy. -I also thought about sharing my artwork on here, but... Again, I'm lazy. And pretty self-conscious when it comes to my drawings. Whatever the I decide, though, I found I was thinking about making my journal a friends only thing, buuuuuut.... Then I realized I don't have any friends here. (Yet) Seemed counter productive, so for now, I'm all open posts. :D
