Vegetarian-ness

So, I've been thinking about it for a little while. What would it like to be a vegetarian? Sure, I have meat in my diet fairly regularly, but I have been much more mindful about it recently.

It's not like I hate meat. I have two amazing cooks as parents, so there's no complaining. I just feel kinda self-conscious about killing all these lives just to eat. I've been trying to not eat meat when I can, but we eat as a family so I can't really do that for when we're eating all together. I've thought about telling my mom and dad about it, but I don't want to have to explain myself, since I don't want them to take it personally, that I don't like their cooking. Though if I do want to try being a vegetarian, it would help to tell them, since there's lots of vegetarian food you can get, and living on just what's around is a little harder. Well, mom, if you're reading this, here's your tip-off. Geez, I feel like such a bad person, having to say it through a blog. X(

But anyway, I had been thinking about it for a while, then Jess and Lisa got me thinking about it more, since they're both vegetarians. Jess is a kinda vegan, but I wouldn't be able to do that. Too much of a hassle and you'd have to sacrifice so much...

I don't think being a vegetarian would be that hard, I've already kinda prepared myself in my mind. Like, I try to eat like a vegetarian as often as I can, and I feel bad whenever I'm not, so psychologically, I'm set. It's just the parents and everyone else that I would have to work on. Which, I think, is better than the other way around. I don't know, I really want to try it, but I don't know how to get the ball rolling....

Thoughts? If anyone is even reading this?
