Plats!!! Who the hell are we??

[Raina]

I live in Minneapolis but just bought a house in St Paul. I'm thinking we're going to move over the 4th of July. We bought the house in mid-March and pretty much gutted most of the upstairs down to the studs. All of the trimming and casing got done last weekend and now we just need to get the carpets cleaned.

I work in accounting which isn't my cup of tea. I actually took accounting in college and dropped it after one day. I've not been around a heck of a lot as of late because I'm in nursing school. I can't wait to graduate and have an interesting job that allows me the opportunity to branch off in many directions. Plus nursing school is allowing me to take more and more of the dorky science classes I adore.

I'm a fantasy genre junkie. I love to read when I can steal away moments (like at red lights). I've also been planning a wedding which has been an experience to say that least. Focusing on going on my honeymoon in January keeps me sane. Thinking about running away from my life for a bit makes me blissful.

Nice to meet you Raina and congratulations on the upcoming wedding and home purchase!

Better late than never I guess.

I live in Denver with my girlfriend of 6 months today. We started off very quickly and moved in 2 weeks after we met. I am 27 years old, working on my MBA and work full time as a business technology consultant. I have been lifting for 4 years steady but had a bad accident in January that left me crippled for 4 months. I went from 225 8%bf to 185 15%. Now I am about 208 10% and trying to get rid of these love handles. I have to get back in shape as me and the girl like to play around a little and you have to look good while you’re out. That is a shot of her in the avatar. Nice to meet you all.

ok...almost 32, Ive done many things. Sales, Management, Owned 2 businesses, used to live in WA state, now Im in So Cal, and currently in Medicine at a busy ER. I enojy it, but I want to write (and make my living that way).
Started lifting in highschool (many years ago), lifted hard for about 4 years then got injured. Then I got busy/lazy, and didnt make time for the gym. I got back into the gym in mid-late 2001 and have made great strength and decent size gains since. Now, nothing keeps me from the gym...no excuses.
Like to read, write, travel, learn (anything), hang out with friends, etc. Peace.

24 I will be 25 in August. I live in Toronto have for almost 6 years. I was born and raised an hour west of the big city. Currently I am single but dating is fun most of the time. I am a sales rep for a communication port manufacture. I went to school for Broadcast Journalism unfortunately it is an extremely completive field and haven’t had much luck breaking in, but I am still plugging away at it.
I have been lifting on and off since I was 16. I didn’t really get my shit together tell about a year ago. I have dropped 3% bf in the past two and half months I am now down to 16%. I am on my first cycle of var. I am hoping to compete in about a year’s time.
I was working a second job bartending and cocktail waitressing up until a month or so ago so I am just getting back in to some of my hobbies. My hobbies include: photography, sketching in pastel, paining, writing, roller blading, volleyball, basketball, horse back riding, dancing and enjoying the city I love living in.

Spanish. Nuclear Physicist. Athlete. Soccer player. Bodybuilder.

And no, I do not build nuclear bombs. I want to design nuclear fusion reactors for the production of energy. Probably end up working for the Dept. of Energy in 3-4 years.

Right on Corn, CEO, SuperQT and Fonz..........thanks for postin up a little about yourselves.

Cornobbled-sorry to hear about your injury, good shit on the recovery though, sounds like you'll be back to 100% in not time!

CEO-You HAVE done many things...sounds like you're a fairly successful guy. Glad to hear from you...good luck on pursuing your writing. I too, used to write a lot, but within the last 4-5years, writing took a back seat to everything else (family, job, and lifting).

SuperQT-thanks for postin. I had a couple of ex-girlfriends who were trying to get into broadcast journalism as well.......and YES, it is pretty fuckin competitive! Just keep networking! The connections you have made and must continue to make, will be your biggest asset.

Fonz-Wow. A nuclear physicist?! That's pretty amazing! Good luck to your career and possible future achievements as well.

[Delinquent]

I'm 34 (35 in NOV - OH dear GOD!) and I'm a born and rasied New Yorker.

I was a competitive/pro figure skater and now I do work as an interior designer.

I was first introduced to weights and speed skating back in the early 80’s as additional training for skating. I’ve been training on and off since and after finally getting over coming two ridiculous injuries and weird health issues these past two years I've found my groove again.

I've been rollerblading since the late 80's and often us this as cardio for the spring-fall months.

I like a quite simple life, I like to read, write, cook, used to paint (it's been a while) and I like movie, Sci-fi channel, Discovery and home shows (go figure).

I still have a pair of BONT Inline skates that I'm hoping to jump back on once I lose all the weight and get my knees fixed. I always loved speedskating.


Anyways, I'm 24 and currently doing Customer Support for VERITAS Software Corporation. Our sys admin is leaving so I'm hoping to snag that position otherwise I will be moving to sales. I was born and still reside in Central Florida. Parents and granparents are florida natives also which is a rarity. My fiance and I are looking for land to build a house right now. We hope to get married within the next year.
