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)))0 -
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.

So you are a pescetarian, veering towards vegetarian land!?!! Anyhow, being a pescetarian in these parts is better than saying you are a veggie that eats fish.
Welcome From what part of the country to you hail? We've had meet-ups in Dublin, Cork and soon to be various counties in the West. 0 -

Not really, I don't like fish at all and prefer not to eat it. But there are occasions, like in hospital or on a plane, where my only other option was 'go hungry.' Florida was one of the worst, I could bluff it out in the all-you-can-eat salad bars but places that specialise in seafood had nothing to offer me. At least I held out until the second last day of the holiday!
And yes Tar.Aldarion, I am indeed talking about cosplay. That fuzzy pic of me there is meant to be me with KK Slider ^_^0 -

I'm Amy(hello hello), 23, a general nurse & have been vegetarian with vegan aspirations for over a year now. Previous history of numerous vegetarian attempts, but stopped in my tracks by overly concerned parents each time....:rolleyes:
Am heading off to London next year to do my MSC. in Nutrition...:D (Wahoo). Have always had an interest in the alternative approach to health/lifestyle with strong belief that diet & other lifestyle factors are a major cause of a lot of illnesses/disease today. And yeah, that's one of the main reasons I became vegetarian Other reasons being ecological & ethical.
Can cook!! And love to. Love music, food, cooking, film, attempting to make/feck up clothes, occupying my already overactive mind with interesting books & a million other things which I won't bother mentioning.0 -

Hello Amy, loving the eggs name. You look exactly like a girl I know, although maybe the angle and face paint are putting me off. hehe
Books woo! and so on0 -

Hello everybody
Im new to this forum, I am a member on the vegetarian meetup group but have never been here before but have talked to some of you before. Anyways Im a 31 year old vegetarian, been a veggie for 13 years now and Im enjoying it to the fullest. Other than that I live in Dublin, I have been here for 2 month and I come from Norway. I guess Im going to be here for at least a year since my contract says so, but maybe I stick around for a longer period of time. About me, Im a movie geek that make movies and watch alot of movies. I like playing basketball and I like reading about politics and astronomy, Im also a bit of a gamer. I also like reading this forum while Im at work since its really funny to read, so now Im jsut trying to see if I can have anything to give to this forum. :cool:

Xandrius, I make films myself on occasion... Do you have any of your stuff online anywhere?
Yes I have some movies online, some a bit weird and others a bit cooler. Cool that you also make movies maybe we can make something some time
Link to my site on dailymotion http://www.dailymotion.com/user/Xandrius have a good screening and dont get to shocked of 1 or 2 movies its only humour
Love to see some of your stuff to if you have it onliine0 -
No Im not dressed up, this is how I look sometimes. I dont have the mohawk right now but still have short hair and the facial hair. Lets say it this way we like the swedes better than the finns since we understand what the swedes say, but of course we have alot of jokes about the swedes.
Yeah I was going to the BBQ also in cork but I did not get my tax money before this week so I really did not have the money. But hope to come along on the next meetup that is happening.:)
Looking forward to meeting you
I have a soft spot for finns, I think they are a little bit Irish in their alcoholism outlook.
My connection is desperate tonight....much check those films out again.0 -

Just had a look at some of your stuff, the trailers are funny! Did you actually make the full length films or just the trailers?
I liked Esken/The Box. I thought I didn't understand it because it's in Norwegian but then I saw the name 'David Lynch' mentioned in the description
Some great acting there too
The video's are well shot, do you shoot them yourself? What kind of camera do you use? The Taste The Flower trailer is very nicely shot.
And since I asked, I better show you some of my stuff too:
<Mod snip>
I'm quite critical of what I have on there, but some of it's okay! I've been mainly editing for the past two years or so, I studied Film and TV at college and specialised in editing. A short film and doc that I cut are on there, aswell as some other silly stuff. Me and my friend are just finishing off a music video now though and I think it's an improvement on earlier stuff.
Anyway, thanks for the links to your vids, let me know what you think of mine if you get a chance to have a look 0 -

That's cool about the films, must watch them now, especially the one with 'explicit content' haha.I make all kinds of movies, mostly short movies but I have also made some longer documentaries and music videos. I have studied journalism and film making for 6 years. I also started to make a documentary for an animal rights group in Norway but since I did not live in Oslo at the time it was difficult so I canceled the project, but I would really like to make some animal right films in the future. When it comes to games I mostly play Xbox360 games, sometimes i play pc games but not as much as before I got the 360. Genre of games I have to say stradegy games, shooters and RPG games like red alert 3, battlefield series and fallout 3, Oblivion and so on.
How about yourself?
I've played red alert, fallout, oblivion etc, loved them. Am more into strategy and first person shooters these days becuase it is multiplayer and I love having a laugh talking to friends while I play, on ventrilo etc.
Love meeting up with them for drinks and LANs.
I'm not sure if you are into those but if you are, check out http://www.lanparty.ie/lans.php?id=89
There will be a lot of boardsies there including me.
I get asked that a lot on here in private messages and things.btw Tar.Aldarion are you swedish? Reason im asking is because of your swedish sentence on your location.
I am Irish, that line is from a swedish song about a game I play, DotA, a warcraft III mod. It's my favourite game along with CSS.
Accurate video, ignoring girls in the dark for our gaming love.
Would love to go to dreamhack, in Sweden.

It's in the music video, them singing at it.
Have always wanted to visit Norway. I do quite like the look of it and it's liking of metal.0 -

Another film maker! Another chance to ask 'what kind of films do you make?' in a seedy way. :pac:
Watched pilfering Esmerelda so far outside the eye, very funny.
my little brother jsut made this for a laugh on the day making it up as they went along, the guy in the marshall shirt, they don't do filming or know anything about it but I can't wait to get involved in the next one hopefully as I think it's great, haha.

Anyone who's seen Esmerelda always say 'surely all the pesky thieves should have come and taken her away in the end???' It would've been a way better ending but I just didn't think of it. Maybe because we only had two hours with the camera and then my sister had to go to work or college or someplace (she's the leading lady you see!)
But yeah, Lough Atalia's a great location, hee hee, almost as exciting as Barna Woods!
Your brother's video's hilarious! Never have I seen such an authentic portrayal of rage and 'other emotions'!
And interesting use of the music from the film I can never spell... Will have to look it up... Koyaanisqatsi, yes that's it...0 -

But her despair would've been increased by her being ambushed by the crazy-hatted gang! Sigh, I live in regret
Nah, I'm taller than her, she is part pixie. It's me in the stop motion scarf video also on that page though. That was fun to do.
Feature Length?! :eek: This Mystic Stag must be a complex creature...0 -

Well at leastyou said or I may have said hello to a randomer in galway.
Love the stop motion stuff like that vid, scarf attack! Have a watch with a camera on it that I got in secondary school and used to make little things like that. This is back when everybody was like, 'omg a camera wow' 0 -
Hey I'm new to this so thought I'd post here first. I'm a 21 year old student from Newbridge, Co Kildare. I turned veggie over the summer when in America on my J1. I guess seeing the American diet and food industry first-hand kind of made me realise how meat-eating can damage the environment and is all about excess. Some further research into the way animals are treated made me finally realise that I don't want to consume meat anymore so I have been veggie for over a month now - finding it easy really.
Anyhow, look forward to joining in the discussion here whenever I may be of use to it. Keep doing what ye're doing on here, I habe enjoyed reading it since I turned Veggie (and before hand too)!
Oh and this is me.

I also liked your stop motion video, I really love making stop motion since it is really funny. I have not had the chance to watch any of your other movies yet but I will do it when I get home from work since we are not allowed to watch videoes here, stupid rule. ANyway here is one of my stop motion videos, hope you enjoy it even though it is in norwegian.
