You must be laughing yourself sick

Meat-Eating Amnesty
I am thinking of declaring Meat-Eating Amnesty Day on my birthday. After two and a half full years as a vegetarian and five years as a non-red-meat-eater, I feel like I have earned a cheeseburger. (And, if the cheeseburger doesn't make me sick, also some samgyupssal.) But at the same time, I've been so fucking sanctimonious about being a vegetarian. And being a vegetarian is so much a part of my identity -- somewhere after "American" and somewhere before "bookworm."

So I guess my question is, what do you think, Friendslist? Am I a giant hypocrite if I eat a cheeseburger? Or can I have Amnesty Day and still think of myself the same way? Don't tell me what I want to hear, tell me what you actually think.
