I love meat. I can't deny it. There's just something about steaks that make me drool when I think about it. Back during the summer when I was still in LA, my roomie used to make steaks at 10 pm and we'd pig out. They were SO good. Sometimes we'd have it with veggies, others with red wine; but either way, steaks are YUM. So imagine me, meat-lover that I am, having to give up any form of meat for the past four days. It's a record for me. But I did it! And today I had my first meal with meat (MUAHAHAHA!) and it was so so so good. The portion was tiny, but it was delicious, nonetheless. Nothing like being deprived of something to make you truly appreciate it more when you get it back. I took my time eating those few pieces; didn't want to inhale it without tasting like I normally do with my food. Ah, meat, how I love thee.

I sound like a freakin carnivore. But that's what I am ... well, I'm technically an omnivore, but I prefer meat (of the usual kind - chicken, beef, and pork) to veggies any day. Ask my mom. She's always having to make me eat my veggies and fruits. I know, I know, should have a balanced diet, but I just can't bring myself to eat less meat or more fruit/veggies. Hmmm. This week has been the most veggie/fruit consumption I've had since I stopped having access to my mom's cooking (that would be since I left home for college). Huh, is this why I have all these health problems? Boo.

Anyway, it's getting cooooold in Taipei. I can't stand cold that much ... a little bit of cold and I have to bundle up in furry warm jackets. I do like furry warm jackets, though. It's like a sense of comfort following me around wherever I go. Hah, that doesn't even make sense. As I sit here, my fingers are cold and stiff :( I hate that. I hate it when my extremities get cold. Someone should invent gloves that allow me type and keep my hands warm. Normal gloves just hamper your typing and things end up looking lioke tjhiosw (that was my attempt of typing badly ^^).
