“Real revolution begins at learning. If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention.” --Tim McIlrath

It's funny the things you find in the rain.

Hello everyone, My name is Ashley Leslie, I'm from Canada, I'm 26-years-old.

I'm (a/an) Vegan, Animal lover, Writer, Poet, Photographer, Dreamer, Wanderer, Loner, Pessimist, Misanthropic, Depressive, Neurotic, Empath, Emotional, De facto Atheist, Liberal, Toriphile, Introvert, Socially awkward.

I love art, The Tudors (fictional and historical characters)-- Queen Catherine of Aragon is my favourite queen, Tori Amos, Nine Inch Nails (Trent Reznor), Florence and the Machine, The Birthday Massacre, Rise Against, many other musicians; Wizard of Oz, Beauty and the Beast, Alice in Wonderland and Alice Madness, Bayonetta, Video games in general, Studio Ghibli, Disney/Pixar and the cute characters, veganism, animals, Sylvia Plath, Marie Antoinette, History and classic historical periods, Period Dramas, Faeries, Showtime and HBO television, Psychology, Anime, etc. This blog tends to have a lot these things and more.

I love to share my vegan life and help others along the way. After being vegetarian for 6-years, I finally transitioned to veganism on March 22nd, 2011. It was the best decision I have ever made and I really question why I didn't do it sooner now.

I truly believe that music is one of the only things that understands me.

I enjoy many things but get bored far too easy.
I don't follow everyone back, I don't do promos and I'm not in this for the followers.

"I watch me be this other thing and never know if I'm marooned or where the purple people go, then lily white matricide from vicious words, it doesn't leave a scratch so therefore no one's hurt." --Tori Amos-- Purple People

"My world falls apart, crumbles, “The centre cannot hold.” There is no integrating force, only the naked fear, the urge of self-preservation. I am afraid. I am not solid, but hollow. I feel behind my eyes a numb, paralysed cavern, a pit of hell, a mimicking nothingness. I never thought. I never wrote, I never suffered. I want to kill myself, to escape from responsibility, to crawl back abjectly into the womb. I do not know who I am, where I am going—and I am the one who has to decide the answers to these hideous questions. I long for a noble escape from freedom—I am weak, tired, in revolt from the strong constructive humanitarian faith which presupposes a healthy, active intellect and will. There is nowhere to go …" --Sylvia Plath

Avon, Mary Kay, and Estée Lauder Are Paying for Tests on Animals

Please take a minute to Google DRAIZE EYE IRRITANCY TEST. The Draize test involves placing a rabbit’s head in a restraining device and then putting in one of their eyes a substance such as bleach, shampoo, nail polish, chemical cleaning substances, or weed killer. These experiments are extremely painful. Some rabbits snap their necks in their frantic attemps to escape. Vile companies like Estee Lauder, have blood on their hands, let them know what you think on their fb page http://www.facebook.com/EsteeLauder . Be a compassionate shopper and avoid companies that test on animals.  Do not give them your money as it can go on to fund this torture.  Innocent lives are worth more than our vanity, choose cruelty free products.  Do you want to use chemical ridden products on your skin in the first place?! There are many affordable brands that avoid this.  Please check out 

http://www.buav.org/  http://www.gocrueltyfree.org/  and  http://www.uncaged.co.uk/crueltyfree.htm  for advice and  free printable guides on cruelty free shopping!  We need to cut mass consumer demand to show these companies we mean business!
