Ever since I have made radical changes in my diet I obviously chose to eat some things more than others. This change was very apparent when it came to fast food. I remember when I was in mid adolescence (wooo using proper terms *haha*) I was so much into fast food ... crazy! Don't even want to know how I survived. *triumphingpose* BUT I DID! :P. Anyhow *focus*, I have had a drastic reduction in burger cravings, but the occasional burger craving does pass by me and I just convince myself to let it go and have an apple instead. Especially, because I follow the clichee that vegetarian/vegan burgers are just not edible, that's why I have usually stayed away from burgers. However, last thursday, I surrendered to my cravings and decided to have a burger. I didn't actually go out but Lady Jayne and Spacy Norely were being really sweet and took away a burger for me.
Looks vicious? Nooooo, not at all! In fact it's probably the tamest burger you have ever seen :P It doesn't bite and more importantly the patty never had a heartbeat in its previous life. Voila! What you see there is 100% a vegetarian chickpea patty. But even more surprising, it tasted really good. Although I must say, about halfway through the burger I felt so sick, just because it was too much burger for me to handle. This burger has definitely changed my view on vegetarian burger patties :P.
Upshot: Vegetarian burger patties can indeed be extremely tasty!

Unfortunately, in this world there are species that eat meat (and no I'm not talking about humans)! Very tiny, very painful, very disgusting. I don't know what I did or didn't do to be punished with a dream about this little vicious thing. Seriously! Last semester I first heard about these insects called "bot flies". A bot fly basically lays the larvae in a warm blooded host or use san intermediate medium, such as a blood biting insect, i.e.: a mosquito, which when the infested mosquito bites the human, transfers the larvae to the human, who will be infested and eventually act as a host for the little baby bot flies and nurse them until they are actual flies. These little baby bot flies are pretty vicious and definitely no herbivores. They feed on the flesh of their hosts.
Therefore, when they are inside a human, they will eat the human flesh. Don't believe me? Google it! Beware though, there have been some truly disgusting stories, i.e.: infested brains - which obviously lead to death, or infested eyes. Long story short, they feed on the human flesh and when eventually big enough, turn into flies and leave the body, but until then they will stay inside the host.
Funny thing though, I read about this last semester or maybe 2 semesters ago. I have no idea how I remembered this and that too in a dream?! Anyway so I dreamt that I had a bot fly larvae hole right by my throat and when I looked at myself in the mirror and squeezed the hole, I could see the worm move on the inside. That really disgusted me, so I decided to not look at myself in the mirror. In the meantime, I ran into Lady Jayne and tried asking for the doctor's number, which was pretty hopeless, because Lady Jayne totally wasn't listening to my issue, but blaming me for something completely unrelated. So I tried finding the doctor's number myself , but remembered that emergency visits were not possible, because appointments were always required. Evidently, my dream/nightmare was filled with desperation. I forced myself out of the dream, probably because it was too distressing. As I was waking up, but still somehow half way in my dream, I kept feeling my throat for the bot fly hole (for real). When I had finally managed to be fully awake, I immediately grabbed a mirror and checked for any insect holes on my throat and somehow my entire day was spoilt by this stupid feeling of an insect hole being there by my throat when none (thank goodness) was present *argh*.
