Metal bands I've been listening to a lot lately: Dream Theater, Korpiklaani, Amon Amarth, Sabaton, Wintersun, Epica, Iron Maiden, Tyr. Also lots of Lacuna Coil, since Broken Crown Halo came out. Any fellow Coilers here?

Victoria Hand from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

I have not, but would certainly be interested. If there's anyone here from the Chicago area that feels the same, message me.

Not sure the calorie counts, but Dragon's Milk and Arrogant *kitten* are two of my favorites.

My understanding is that while it's mostly a matter of fat reduction, working ab muscles will tighten up your core and help your belly appear flatter.

Dull pain, not fitted by running store, no pre-existing injuries as far as I know.

QOTD: Pets!!! If you have any, what? If you don't have any, what would you have ignoring any financial issues or allergies? At my parents house (going back in a few days, SPRING BREAK!!!) we have a wonderful german shepherd/retriever mix named Chester. So cute! When I get my own house, I plan on having a german shepherd…

So I've been super busy and all recently, but Bryan is BACK!!! QOTD: What am I giving up for lent? Well since I'm not a christian, absolutely nothing :)

Pay off all debt, save/invest, and GET THE HELL OUT OF ILLINOIS!!!

Answering my own question, fave beer is micro-brewery beer, Shiner Bock, and Sam Adams. Fave mixers are Jack and Coke, Captain and Coke, and almost anything with Vodka.

QOTD: Since it seems like everyone here is of the proper age, favorite alcoholic drink?

5 Random facts about me: 1. I'm a lead foot. Speed limits to me are really just suggestions. 2. I play guitar, write my own songs, and have been in a few bands. 3. I'm the treasurer for the atheist group on campus. 4. I'm very skeptical/cynical towards a lot of things. 5. I speak sarcasm fluently.

QOTD: Ah, yet another chance to demonstrate that I'm the cynic of the group. :wink: I didn't indulge ONE BIT. Willpower FTW!!! :laugh: Ok, so I refer to today as Hallmark Day if that gives you any clue as to my cynicism about it. On the bright side, it saved me much calories and money! :happy:

QOTD: I'm not really sure. I like being alone, but I also really enjoy being with people.

Welcome back! We're glad to have you here. I propose a toast to our newest Random! :drinker:

Tara - After much research, I determined that someone was paid off to ensure we were born here in frigid IL.

QOTD: Looking forward to when it all melts, I hate snow and winter. :( Why did I have to be born in Illinois?

Yeah, I pretty much failed at my January goal. :sad: Here's to a new month, new week, new shot at it!

I LOVED Captain Underpants as a kid!!! Also, need to get World War Z.

I couldn't pick just one book, so I'll name a few. The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks is a guilty pleasure, as is The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Harry Potter is enjoyable, and so are books like The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.

QOTD: That would be my current car, pictured in my profile pic. 1994 Chevrolet Cavalier convertible. Bought as a steal last summer with only 38,000 miles on it. Named CiCi (my sister insisted I name it), I LOVE IT!! Lol. I can't wait for it to be warm again to go speeding around with the top down, blasting music.

Thanks for the helpful links Tara! I somehow get the idea you know what 5K I registered for...

Does this cost money? I'm a poor college student remember, and I already had to pay to register for the 5K (helping a good cause though.) :happy: But if it's free or inexpensive and will help, I'll drink to that! :drinker:

So I've taken the plunge and registered for my first 5K! I've never run something like this before, so I'd love to get some training tips from you awesome Randoms. :smile: It's not for another 6 months, so I have plenty of time. I should be at my weight goal long before then, but having never done this before I need all…

That's right, Hallmark Day is coming up isn't it? :tongue:

Look for the healthier end of chips, healthier end of dips, and try to watch portions would be my advice. As for myself, I plan on watching the game with my family but not having any food (other than what I need to meet my calorie goal).

QOTD: Who do you want to win the Super Bowl? For me, I'm a lifelong Bears fan, meaning I hate the Packers. GO STEELERS!!!

Maybe because you are just a little bit crazy? :tongue: Don't worry though, crazy in a good way! :happy: Just part of what makes us Randoms love you so much.

QOTD: What music are you listenin to RIGHT NOW? If you're not listening to music right now, what was the most recent? For me, it's Swedish power metal band Sabaton.

QOTD: I'd probably tell myself. "Hey, you only get one body and then you die and it's all over. Take care of it and make the most of it in the limited time you have!" I'd also probably tell myself "Life is too short to take everything too seriously. Have as much fun as possible while you can."
