Brown (natural), black, blonde, pink, red, fuschia, teal, blue,green, like 3 shades of purple I dyed my hair a LOT in high school. Now I like my curly hair too much to want to bleach and dye it ever again. :)

I love "How It's Made". I don't watch much TV but I could watch that show *forever*.

I have a laptop. I'm a student and some classes require you bring one if you have one. Its easy to just pick it up and take it anywhere on campus to do homework. I know how to repair a laptop if it fails. Fixing computers was actually my job. (provided you can actually fix what happened to it, with a lot of physically…

Pay off student loan debt and pay the rest of my tuition (including grad school) out of pocket Help the family out with their debt save the rest, maybe use some to get an apartment off-campus to save money

Great job! You look fantastic!

Hi everyone! I swear I posted my intro here before but I don't see myself anywhere, so pardon me if I'm a repeat. My name is Gaby and I'm a crocheter (hooker!) who resides in Louisiana when at school, and Florida on break. I've been crocheting not even a year yet and I love it. I have no intention of stopping. I love…

My only problem with this is that most anyone can publish an ebook on Amazon so there is no guarantee that the info youre getting in these books is actually, you know, factual.

I weigh myself a *lot* but I'm trying to cut down on that! I only ever recorded on Tuesdays so no matter what I saw previous days, Tuesday's number was the one that counted. I haven't weighed myself in 2 days, must be some kind of personal record :laugh:

Wow! I see myself in those pictures. I carry a lot of my weight in my stomach. I'm at 225 right now and I've lost 15 lbs. I can't wait until I'm in one-derland like you are!

I've only lost 15 lbs so far, but I've got quite a bit of my journey to go. Portion control has been the biggest thing, in my opinion. Once I realized how many calories I was really eating it snapped me into shape, so to speak. I've started working out 5+ days a week now. My body is still adjusting to it and I've been…

What a transformation! Wow!

Amazing! Way to go! I can't wait until the rest of my 90 lbs comes off :D

1:51 PM- 402 In my defense, I got up at like 12:30. Summer break is messin' up my calorie counts!

In college, every roommate I've had (that isn't a friend of mine) has tried to convert me to Christianity. One of the first questions out of their mouths after moving in is "are you a Christian?" (which is kind of rude and nosy in my opinion). After finding out I'm not, they constantly get on me about going to their church…

Younger. When my mother mentions she has two girls, one older and one younger (by 4 years), they always think I'm the younger one. We're at that point in time where 4 years is a big difference in appearance, too.

Babybel cheese and loose tea of any type.

Hawkeye. Dem arms (and boots)! :blushing:

Rugby, because I play one of the pushey-shovey positions and I think pushey-shovey, in the context of sports, is fun.

I use both of Garnier Fruictisse's curl cream and curl mousse. The mousse is for the back of my hair because it doesn't curl as much as the front, and the cream keeps frizz down and promotes your natural curls. :) I also use sulfate-free cleansing conditioner, I forget the brand but its a bronze bottle and you can get it…

"Ive been fat my whole life, why not keep it that way?"

Old Navy has some pretty bad vanity sizing- I'm a 2x pretty much every where else but at Old Navy I'm a 1x, and sometimes even a Large!

I chew.

Mine too! I always have to try both shoes on in a pair and walk around a bunch just to make sure they dont fall off my left foot or constrict my right one too much.

I'm the palest of my family- everyone else either has dad's golden skin or my mom's olive skin. I tried sun tanning once and I looked utterly ridiculous with it. I don't see why people are so concerned with my skin tone, anyways! I think I look just fine with my pale skin, shouldn't that be enough for you? It's like those…

1) I play the ukulele, and I'm relearning how to strum since I actually have fingernails now (stopped chewing on them) 2) I'm learning Russian. I have family from all over Russia and ex-soviet countries and I'd like to visit someday. 3) I have problems processing speech. I have trouble watching TV/movies or playing games…

George Thorogood, Gogol Bordello, KISS, Flaming Lips, They Might be Giants, Jonathan Coulton, Man Man Chevelle came to my school and tickets were 10 bucks, haha

Scholarships and student loans. I'm hoping being an engineer will help pay off the loans faster than most so I won't have to worry.

I stumble whenever I try to dismount the elliptical machines on campus. They're kinda chunky and I'm short, so it's always a tiptoe-and-jump kind of ordeal and sometimes I lose balance.

I exercise shortly after whenever I get up- I'm on summer break right now so I have pretty much all the time in the world to sleep. When I'm back at school, during Fall quarter I'm going to have 2 days where I have no classes at all (and 8am classes the rest of the week). I plan on getting up at around 8 to keep myself…

I've been to mardi gras a few times. I go to school in Louisiana and we get time off for it, no joke. I have a friend who lives close to New Orleans and has family there so we all get good seats. :D I'd stay off of bourbon street though- tourist city. WAY too crowded, and there aren't even any parades that go down there.…
