I never did this, so I figured better late than never.

So, I'm 22 years old and I live in Anchorage, Alaska. I call it AK because shortening things to acronyms and abbreviations is just so cool. (I kid.)

I’ve lived here my entire life and that’s OK because soon I’ll move away and then miss it. Before I leave though, I’m driving to the Arctic Ocean because I want to pee in it. Gross? No. Super cool. I mean, how many people do you know that have peed in the Arctic Ocean. (Man I ramble.)

I work full-time at a local newspaper as a section editor, so I sit on my ass... constantly. I’m also finishing up in college (it takes longer when you work all the time) so I pretty much spend 80 percent of my life on my buttocks.

I’ve never been incredibly athletic, but there was a year right after high school where I actually enjoyed going to the gym. I’m working to get back to feeling healthy and trying some new sports. I’m happy either way, but being healthy is important if I want to live to be 215. I’m vegetarian and have been for... geez, four years now (where’d that time go?). I don’t really like meat, which is what fueled my decision, but I’m aware of the health benefits and animal rights and all that too.

I love to cook. And yes, even meat. I like to cook for everyone around me and I like to make creative, healthy meals that don’t taste like cardboard. Mmmm... cardboard.

My user name is Team Pilot Rabbitcraft which is the name of my household. It’s a long story (I’ll tell you anyway): We have two rabbits and when we got the first I asked for name suggestions from all of my friends. I couldn’t pick just one name, so he has like five names now. Pilot Rabbitcraft was one of the suggestions and it really stuck. When we’re feeling down, someone always asks, “what team is this?” the correct response is “Team Pilot Rabbitcraft.” The follow-up question is “And who’s team leader?” “Bunny.” There are other questions that are then made up to cheer up the person or motivate you. Was that story necessary? No, but you enjoyed it.

I’m involved in the Biggest Loser Challenge group, which is a total blast and you should do it too.

This is longer than I expected it would be. I promise I don’t talk like a Valley Girl, despite my use of the word “like” and random rants.

LOL, your awesome....!! Ramble on.. I'll read it, and Thanks for all the work your doing @Biggest Loser' ....ah, I havn't lost any due to PMS/ bloating....YES, it's a good excuse!!
Keep having fun

@Becky: Every time I see your profile pic I think it's a yak or cow or something. When I look at it I see it's you, but the way the brown of your hair and your skin color combine I see a cow. I know, I'm weird. Oh, and thanks.

<<<<okay, now you can see ONE eye!!! .. Focus Darlin' Focus" .LOL

HAHAHA! I broke my glasses last week (yes, there is tape on the bridge holding them together), but I see you now.

@TPR: I like humor and literacy of your posting! Do you blog elsewhere?

@TPR: You're too funny. I'm also a vegetarian who cooks meat for the men in my family. My daughters decided to be veg like me. I grew up with several friends that moved to Alaska. One used to be a rep - Tom Brice. I would love to go some day. Keep posting.

Awesome post. Hope to hear more from you.

@NYCinephile: Thanks. No, I don't blog. I write over 12,000 words a week at work. I don't think I have the energy to blog after all of that.

@Sonia and Chareen: Thanks.
