faq
I am often asked the same questions over and over. That’s fine, but I thought a FAQ would be handy for any new eyes that are looking at this blog. Please feel free to ask me any questions, my ask box is always open!
I support animal rights activism, The A.L.F, pro animal rights laws and ways of thinking, pro gay rights and equal rights for all, the LGBTQ community, feminism, the right of a woman to decide if she wants an abortion or not (pro choice), breaking gender roles, spaying and neutering domesticated animals (cats/dogs)
Q: How old are you? When were you born?
A: I am 22 years old. My birthday is August. 23rd.
Q: How tall are you? How much do you weigh?
A: I am about 5’ 8”. My weight doesn’t matter.
Q: Do you have any animals?

Q: Do you live at home?
A: No, I am ~currently~ living in a house with five others. That may change though, you never know!
update: due to mental health issues, I am currently living at home (january 2012)
Q: What do you do for a living?
A: I am a Licensed Practical Nurse, but do not have a full time job.
Q: Does Nursing conflict with your veganism and other views?
A: I really dislike how much medication is given out and I really wish nursing was more holistic. It is a lot different then I thought and although I love caring for people, its not my passion.
Q: What would you rather do then Nursing?
A: I am pursuing a career where I will be working with animals. I hope to someday be a vet technician or have my own rescue animal sanctuary.
Q: How long have you been vegan?
A: I have been vegan since the winter of 2008.
Q: Why are you vegan?
A: I am vegan because I love animals and would NEVER want to hurt one. I also am a huge believer and voice for animal rights, it is so dear to my heart, and I want to change the world for all animals. No being should suffer<3
Q: What do you eat in a day?
A: I do not answer this question because it varies so much. I eat fresh fruit, vegetables, quinoa, beans, hummus, greens, squash, oats, granola, almond milk, dark chocolate, nut butter, the list goes on… it really just depends what I feel like eating.
Q: Are you single?
A: No.
Q: What religion are you?
A: I do not believe in religion, I am a Gnostic Atheist.
Q: Why are you an Atheist?
A: Because Religion is controlling and I believe it is used as a form of oppression. It is outdated and a lie. I also do not believe there is any type of higher power or god above us. We evolved, we were not magically created. Nothing like that exists and its silly to think such things in a universe so vast. Go outside tonight and look at the stars. They are all billions of kilometers away and for them to shine bright enough for use to see is amazing. To even think we are the only ones out there is crazy. Our universe is so vast, I can’t even fathom it.
Q: Are your animals vegan?
A: No. Our dog is not vegan, he is on a special vet diet for his gastrointestinal tract. Our cats are not vegan because I do not believe in feeding cats that way. My rats are vegan, though :3
Q: Where do you live?
A: On Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
Q: Do you have any tattoos or piercings?
A: Yes, I have six tattoos and 7 piercings.
Q: Where? What of?
A: I have a elephant on my forearm, ahimsa in sanskrit on my wrist, a faded ‘V’ on my left thumb, and my mom and dads birthday numbers 23:01:62 and 25:12:66 on the outer sides of my wrists.
Q: Do you take supplements?
A: No :) Not at all, I acquire everything I need from the food I eat. I use nutritional yeast for my b12 needs.
Update: I am currently (as of january 2012) having monthly b12 shots, and taking daily iron pills in hopes my mental health will become better.
Q: Where are your piercings?
A: I have my ears pierced, an industrial on my left ear, my nose pierced on my left nostril, I have a microdermal between my collar bones and I have two microdermals on the nape of my neck. They are horizontally placed, not vertically. :)
