very emotional about this testament to my friendship with rowan in 2013. we’ve come so far (from different parts of new york to different parts of ohio and also to, very different genders than what we started out with).

Story Time

So. Endgame. More specificallly how it almost killed me.

Not even emotionally. It litterally almost killed me.

My friends had arrived at the theater Friday night at 6. The movie started at 7. My friend and I had work so we were going to leave at 6:30. The plan was simple: we order our tickets online as we drive there and our friends save our seats in the theater. Good. Fine. Perfect.

Ha ha ha, poor nieve fangirls.

We left late at 6:40, ok fine whatever. No biggie.

We tried to order our tickets.

No data. No data so no tickets. Shit. This might be a biggie.

We yelled for a while. There was some swerving of the car. Then we called my friend Andy in panic.

She begrudgingly agreed and went to get them which made me shout “I LoVE YOU” repetedly to a very annoyed Andy. Hung up and we cheered like the family in One Day at a Time. (you know the cheer I mean)

This changed to screaming and groaning very quickly as we hit every red light and a transport truck pulled out in front of the car, my friend sped around it.

We got to the theater 2 mins before 7pm so we sprinted across the parking lot and then we couldn’t find Andy with our tickets. We went to the booth in front of the theater and, out of breath but happy, explained the story to the guy who was more or less laughing at us.

Long story short, after renacting Fast and Furious, we got into the theater with 15 mins of ads to spare.

Are cows living in crowded conditions?

A lot of people may see a big group of cows and think that they’re being overcrowded- but are they. Cows are social animals and need friends to live. Researchers have found that cows develop lifelong friendships and I’ve been able to witness that firsthand seeing them with the same friends. Cows are herd animals and naturally live in large groups. It’s all about Cowmunity

When given a choice, cows will voluntarily crowd themselves in small areas. They feel safer in a group and won’t stray far from the main herd. You will rarely see a cow off by herself- though there is a loner in every group.

In the 1800s, pioneers and settlers traveling the midwestern plains of North America seen the wild bison herds. Some researchers have concluded that the bison population reached 300 million animals. For perspective, there is only 9 million dairy cows in the US today. The strange thing is that even though the bison had all the freedom in the world, they still chose to live in tight knit communities called herds.

I suppose people aren’t much different. When flying into LAX- Los Angeles you can see houses for miles around. People are also social beings and live in tight knit communities.

Doing rough math, people may be more crowded. Consider this- a New York City block can have over 1,400 people in a 100,000 sq. ft. Area. A dairy farm of 1,400 cows may be situated on 10 acres of ground= 430,000 sq. ft. meaning that cows have much more space than some people. And there are cities that are more crowded than NYC.

Cows today are living very comfortably on farms. The goal is to make sure that they’re comfortable and have the least amount of stress possible.
