  • Thank you for the welcome ^^ I was living in the Dominican Republic for four months due to work, and I am returning to the USA tomorrow. So I think I shall join in the stuff when the next ones are posted just for simplicity's sake. But I have been pretty active! I've been trying to get back my muscle so I can get right…

  • I'd say....very nerdy. In an odd sort of way. I am a raptor biologist. As in birds of prey (which are pretty much dinosaurs XD). Right now, I am raising and releasing young Ridgway's Hawks in the Dominican Republic with The Peregrine Fund. This is involves long hours of field work, and lots of data entry and data…

  • Blah moments...hmmm. Welp, video games are wonderful for that. Nothing like an RPG or epic fantasy adventure to escape to for a while. I also like to go outside and find some birds to look at. Being out for a while is great for blahs, for me. I guess I'm a weird kind of nerd - gaming nerd and bird nerd rolled into one.…

  • Yup! Muscle is a lot denser than fat. During the winter, in ski season, I usually gain weight due to muscle gain from frequent skiing. During the summer I'm more lax, so I lose some pounds since my muscle goes down. I don't let it go away entirely though! Right now I weigh 130-135 lbs (I don't have a scale at the moment)…

  • Hiya! My real-life superpower is...reading animal body language? Especially birds of prey. I kind of spend my whole day monitoring and observing hawks, so I can tell you a lot of why birds do what they do. But man, I would LOVE to be able to fly!

  • Um, hello! This whole thing looked like fun, so I figured I would check it out. I always thought of myself as Ravenclaw-ish. The rules said to post here to be sorted, so I hope I'm doing this right! So, hi! I am an ornithologist who tries to stay in shape. Nice to meet you all!

  • I am 5'2", and I weigh about 130. But this is normal weight for me - I have muscle from skiing, hiking, and biking. I also have a big butt (true story, haha). I'm not really trying to change much beyond eating healthier - my goal is to still be skiing when I am 80+ years old. I just joined today, and it's interesting to…
