I kept meaning to start my own blog – inspired by the likes of yourself.

I kept an account of my life and ‘pick up’ experiences and after much procrastination I’ve started posting my experiences on blog.

In a strange way it feels great offering value to others in this way.

Using any alternative keyboard layout is a rebellion against people doing things just because that’s the way they’ve always been done. Power to weirdness!

@Skinner I haven’t thought much about it, but at some point I’m sure I will.

@Luke That is one crazy keyboard. Can’t wait to hear about it.

@Matt So many things. I may make a MaxDiet book because there are a lot of questions about it. If I do, I will focus on practical easy to make/clean meals.

@Murphy Long story short: she lives in Canada, I live everywhere. Don’t really want to rehash it all on the blog.

My ears started burning when you started talking about unhealthy, processed vegetarian diets: I’ve been guilty as charged.

What do you recommend that’s vegan and will keep/can be taken to work?

1- The software you recommended is kinda weird for me, due to the whole european keyboard thing that they don’t have. All your signals like / and such are in different places. Gonna look for other software.

2- I have definitely stopped buying everything that catches my eye, though actually throwing out stuff is difficult for me. I was never very consummerist in day to day life, but occasionally I’d make a big purchase almost on impulse. I have bought two quality electric guitars, even though I’m just a beginning guitarist, and the only things I bought for my violin, my main instrument, in the past 6 years or so was spare strings and resin, and recently a new case. It’s crazy! Now I’ve decided I’ve gotta work on my guitar playing before I deserve any cool new stuff.

3- I actually lost a lot of weight over the last two years, over 25 kg, and the past few months have been more lax in diet and exercise. I still avoid overeating, and I walk around a LOT since I don’t drive yet, but I’ve quit the gym and the actual eating diary and all that. My weight’s been stable, so I’m happy. Recently, I’ve decided to start doing ab curls, push-ups and body weight squats when I wake up and one hour before I go to sleep, starting small and growing progressively, and will start barefoot running as soon as I get my vibrams. Going totally healthy like you do is not possible for me at the moment, not because of any lack of self-control, but because I live with my parents and don’t actually have many places for healthy food nearby. I do the best I can, though, and am pretty healthy.

4- Looking into servers and refreshing my html knowledge, will probably start in late September or so, when I’m back in school and have a more active life.

5- English IS a foreign language! Looking into tapes to relearn french, and to learn one other, possibly either german or italian. Have latin classes in my music school.

6- Have been doing it for a while, mostly daygame with some wings for the local lair. Clubs aren’t my thing, I don’t really like the music; I’m more into classical, rock and jazz. Sometimes I hit bars, but clubs I stay away from.

Post more often, Tynan! That time with the one post per day was awesome. Cheers!

So we both keep the things that we know each of us will go mad if one of us tries to get rid off.

Thanks Tynan for this practical post! I enjoyed reading it.

Keep up the good work :)
