| why are you vegan? don't you know that you will die or get sick from not eating meat? | why? there are so many reasons to become vegan. a better question would be why not become vegan? as for becoming sick or dying? that's insane! try looking into any number of books that teach nutrition and you will find that vegetarians not only lead a more healthy life but will most likely live longer.

| why are you so skinny, and does it bother you to know people laugh at your lack of an arse? | yeah, i'm skinny, and the reason being is my obsessive goal of looking 15 years old in hopes of being on the cover of "tiger beat" magazine with a "win a dream date with this cutie" caption underneath. as for me bum, no it does not bother me because if my arse wanted to bail on me like that he was never my "real friend" anyway.
