Nocturnis Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I was born with a heart condition and wasn't expected to live without heart surgery.... well 25 years later I am still here.When I was younger if I got to physical my heart rate would sky rocket and I would be gasping for breath so I had to take it easy.I loved martial arts films and Bruce Lee was my idol. I also wanted to be a Ninja Turtle too haha. I wasn't able to take any martial arts class but I picked up a few tricks over the years.I used to workout in the middle of the night in a Ninja Gi. I was fun lurking in the shadows and scaring the crap out of people. I started lifting weights in Jr. High and surprisingly I was pretty strong.I would also walk everywhere and spent most of my free time walking to the library. I spent my spring break one year at the library. Yeah I was the first to get there and last to leave. I loved walking.... still do.Over the years I kinda grew out of my heart problems, they are still there but not as bad. High school I spent a lot of time walking with my best friend some weeks we did 20+ miles easily.After I graduated I moved in with my cousin and that's when trouble started. I went from 187lbs to 210lbs and felt disgusted with myself. After a year of trying and failing to lose weight I started working at Sterilite which has a reputation for being hell. Its not that bad but within about 5 months I was down to 170lbs and I moved in to my own apt so I can control what was in the kitchen.My spare bedroom is my workout room although it hasn't been used much lately because I get a pretty good workout at work. 12 hours and moving,lifting,carrying adds up. I have been Vegetarian going on 3 years and I enjoy it, it fits me.I would love to be a personal trainer and I am working towards that goal. I am here because I am a nerd and want to surround myself with people that have common goals as me.Oh and if you can't tell by my username I am nocturnal.Well I don't know what much more to say and I feel lame enough for saying this much so if you want to know anymore just ask.

Nocturnis Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Thanks for loving the hat. I get strangers complimenting me all the time. Once I was wearing it with my long black duster and had people chase me down to take a pic with me twice within 10 minutes of each other it was epic. Yeah if I wear jeans or dress pants I am in my top hat otherwise I am in my kilt with no hat. Thanks for the warm welcome [TABLE=width: 500, align: left] [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nocturnis, Level 1 Half Elf Ranger STR 3|DEX 2|STA 2|CON 2|WIS 3|CHA 3[/TABLE] Link to comment
