    Vegetarianism

    I didn't take the time to read the entire discussion as it is rather late here, but I thought I'd give my point of view. I am a "semitarian." I don't know who came up with the term, but it's wonderfully useful. Basically, it means that I am a vegetarian but not so strict as to pull the pepperoni...

    Lactose Intolerance

    I've been lactose intolerant for years, and it's such a pain. At first I just couldn't eat dairy on an empty stomach, but now I can't even have more than 3 scoops of ice cream on a full stomach or a fourth of a cup of milk. The Lactaid pills really help, and I usually take more than one if I'm...

    What Jesus said... paraphrased

    A few months ago one of my non-religious friends came up with the one sentence that he thinks summarizes all of what Jesus said in the Bible: "Don't hit people." That one kept me laughing for a while, lol.

    Dance Dance Revolution Anyone?

    Ooo, I love that game. I've been wanting one, then my grandparents go and buy my brother and I a PS2 and DDR Max 2 for Christmas! I've only had it for three or so weeks, and I'm already able to do almost all songs on standard, and a few on heavy. I guess it just gets easier to follow the arrows...

    Crochet

    I learned how to crochet a few years ago... and I can't stop, lol. I've got about 5 scarves lying around somewhere that I never wear, and some odd number of beanies.

    Bagel pizzas! Essentially the same thing as french bread pizzas, but oh well. Hmm... toasted cheese sandwiches? Nachos?

    help for lactose intolerance

    I've been lactose intolerant for a few years now--I guess my body just slowly stopped producing enough lactase--and it's not so bad that I can't have some sour cream with my potatoes or a scoop or two of ice cream, but it is quite annoying to have to regulate how much dairy I eat. I've taken to...

    Eye Twitch

    I love it when I twitch! I think it's the most interesting feeling, lol. It's usually either my eye or a muscle in my arm, but once in a while a muscle around my mouth or nose will twitch, too. I haven't figured out why, it could be a lack of minerals, stress, nervousness, or lack of sleep, but...

    Favorite exercises?

    When I had a weight room available to me, I loved back squats. I don't exercise much right now [new years resolutions are fixing that], but when I can, I love rollerblading, rock climbing [the in-gym kind... real rocks are a bit intimidating], and taebo.

    New here, thought I'd post.

    I just typed up a whole answer to this, then clicked the "post quick reply" button, but something happened and it didn't post, so here I go again: First thing I learned was that piercings are considered a sin necessarily. I knew this all along, but I guess I just needed to prove to myself...
