CollegeB Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 My name is Brian. I'm 24. Been vegan for long enough I dont keep track, but i'm somewhere past 5 years. My bodybuilding has gone in phases. When I first went vegan it was for the challenge of also bodybuilding. I got pretty strong, but I've let the strength training decline for over a year. I'm working to get back up to par. I'm a master's student in a rehabilitation counseling program. I'm paid to administer tests all day. I've also worked as a researcher. My primary interests are: lifting weights, staying fed and grocery shopping. Existential philosophy and theory. Incense and candles. The making and drinking of tea. Vegan dogs. Agorism/voluntaryism. I like to work with volunteer groups such as habitat for humanity and food not bombs. I do grow plants so that I can eat them. I'm one of those people who are into firearms. I watch a lot of movies. I dont play instruments anymore but I listen to a wide range of music. I'm also in what has become a year long relationship so I'm interested in keeping that going. I'm also interested in finding books I want to read as years of schooling have ruined my desire to actually sit around and just read. I'll continue that search. I've got some things that can tick me off, but if its not something about me I can't do much about it so I tend not to dwell on negative things. My list concerning this is very similar to Richards.

FormicaLinoleum Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Name: LizAge: 36Location: London, England (since 2007--before that Baltimore, MD, USA for 16 years)Vegan since: Sept 2005 (veg since 1994) My primary athletic hobby is roller derby with the London Rollergirls--I have practice 3 to 4 times a week. I also commute to work by bike (about 15 miles round trip) 3 times a week and lift weights 3 times a week. I work as a research officer at a London university. I have a PhD in applied developmental psychology. I have been working in social science research since I was 19. I love all sorts of food. I could talk about food for ages! Unfortunately, I don't have much time to cook. When I am not at work, or commuting to/from work, or at derby practice, or doing derby administration stuff (I am a league director so have to do lots of that), I like lying around on the couch reading or watching movies! I'm not into going to pubs or clubs or stuff like that, but do wish I had more chance to get out and explore London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
