Well, I've seriously considered becoming a vegetarian for some time now, so I figured joining a forum is generally a good idea, as is doing research myself. Currently, the only meat I consume is chicken, but I'm thinking very soon that will change. I've purchased a few nice vegetarian cookbooks to get me started, as well as read up a bit on proper nutrition. Anyways, a little about myself; I'm currently a student attending the University of Manitoba. I love animals, and have ever since I knew about them. I work at a vet clinic, as well as a petstore. I have two dogs, Rocky (Border Collie/Husky) and Kodi (Alaskan Malamute/Husky), five birds; Buddy II (English Budgie), Sunburst (budgie), Penny (budgie), Etna (peachface lovebird) and Laharl (peachface lovebird), two feeder goldfish (Mary and Gary), a betta (Alf) as well as a million walking sticks (well, close enough). I'd have more animals, if I could, but I don't think that'd go over well with the parents. A few other interests I have are plants, creating music (mainly orchestral, symphonic metal), reading, writing (novels, or rather, partial novels, on forums, and even school papers I don't always mind), science, video games, forums, archery (don't worry, the animals are not targets), basketball...I also love being outside during the spring and summer months. Generally I hate being out in winter weather, as it tends to get very cold here and I'm usually sick. Oh, I forgot to mention Disney's Gargoyles. But that's more of an obsession. Now I'll shut up before I bore you all.
