    Where were you in that pic slaphead?
    It looks nice.


    Some village in rural Italy, although it might be San Gimignano which is a bit more than a village. It was taken three years ago. That said I'm only just back from a lovely holiday in that same area. Oh I do like Tuscany & Umbria!

    yes well.... I promised to do this a while back....

    This is myself, http://farm1.static.flickr.com/193/477432266_1fb7b8f54d.jpg a vegetarian since about 1980 (it's so long ago I forget!) and I'm clear evidence that it's no guarantee of a slim body.
    If I do turn up at any of your youth infested meet-ups it will only be to hand out condoms.:D
    Hello tehre mr slaphead in italy.

    Redheads need to procreate to save the species, so that understanding doesn't make any sense at all. :P

    And people are really born in Sligo? :o

    Great idea for a thread (:

    Name's Claire; I'm eighteen. I'm off to England in September to study Zoology in university and I can't wait. I have a strange, cynical sense of humour, can be incessantly sarcastic and can't stand people who butcher the english language. I'm a bookworm - I have varied taste but tend to choose more fantasy, anything with magic - I'm really into the Michelle Paver books at the minute. I love writing and sketching (though I can't sketch to save my life :D). I like writing little notes on things and the back of my notice board has some of the strangest things ever written on it! Doodling also. I've been a lacto-ovo vegetarian for.. I'm not sure - two years now I think. I love Quorn chicken-style Dippers - I'm going to explain that it doesn't "defeat the purpose of being a vegetarian" as my friend says - I did not give up meat because I didn't like the taste. I gave it up for ethical reasons and I'm damn proud of it. (: I like to think I don't come under any labels (and yes, that includes ginger xD). I wear what I want, when I want. Yes I have bright yellow leggings - and yes, I wear them. I'm also interested in web-design... been designing since I was nine years old. Also graphic design, photography and roleplaying - y'know in the third-person on forums. I have varied taste in music from Slipknot and Animal Collective, to Most Serene Republic and Acceptance. I can't think of anything so say :) Oh yeah, Salvador Dali is my favourite artist.

    I hate Twilight.

    Well here's me:

    My sister did zoology for a while, enjoy! I know a veggie girl on baords that did that too. As for butchering the English labguage I moderate a private grammar forum, Spell Czechs haha, keep it quiet.

    I know, he's awesome. Went to an exhibition of his in Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic, loved it (: Answered an art q. on him in the L. Cert!

    I still can't believe all the random stuff that isn't suitable for vegetarians.. like Fanta, that surprised me. And Milky Way etc!

    Hi!
    My name is Clare and I have been a lacto-ovo-vegetarian since I started college, many moons ago. I became vegetarian for ethical and in particular environmental reasons. I love being vegetarian but I do miss occasionally pannacotta:( particulary when the OH eats the M&S ones right in front of me gleefully:mad:I'm all for saving the planet and in particular panda,snow leopards and coral. I love them!! I love bright colours in particular yellow and orange and always have sunflowers and gerberas in the apartment. In terms of music, I like a bit of everything in particular a bit of metal:D. I'm very excited at the moment as I hear Rammstein may be coming to Ireland next year. They are amazing in concert. I am also a teacher of subject which likes its meat alot alas!!!!!

    Welcome aboard clare, Same as you, since I started college, same reasons too, no idea what pannacotta is though! Metal is my favourite too, would love to see rammstein here, all I have seen in Ireland is slipknot and metallica a few times, then tool and slayer concerts. :)
    Oh and sunno)))

    lol, only just realised that everyone else said a bit about themselves along with a pic, but as my other pics didn't tell much maybe it was appropriate...

    Anywho, I'm David, but almost everyone knows me as cocoa anyway =) I'm about to go into third year of electronic engineering and hopefully, move out for good =) I like ultimate frisbee and juggling =) I'm vegan right now (and for one more month) mostly out of curiosity. When I did some research it seemed that being vegan or vegetarian could only help my health and in some people had great effects =) So I'm vegan for three months to see what happens =P At this stage I haven't seen much difference, but than I haven't really been eating properly so I might extend the test =) I don't really love meat (or any food for that matter) so I reckon if it's as easy not to, then I shouldn't be going out of my way to eat animals... It seems I'll be vegetarian from here on out anyway =) (which now seems soooo easy =P)

    and finally, a proper -ish pic :

    Why did I not find this thread before now? 'Cos I'm lazy, that's why!

    Hello all, my name is Missiechan (my real name is a mystery, even to me) I'm twenty-six, I work in childcare and I'm a vegetarian. If backed into a corner I'll eat a little fish, like if I'm in a place with a big group that serves nothing veggie (yes, I'm looking at you Bubba Gump's of Orlando, Florida!) but I prefer not to.

    My hobbies are drawing, sewing, knitting, reading, playing video games and dressing up as fictional characters for the craic. There are several others but I'll need more space to write them in.

    Also, I have a real thing for musicals. Just 'cos.
