hi

1.  Calorie Count Name (user id): nassira (but soon to be changed officially to dame_izzy, which is what it ought to have been in the first place)

2. Name you prefer to be called in discussions: Izzy, Izz, Isabelle, or any variations thereon.

3. Age & Sex: 22/F

4. General Location:  Urban Midwest

5.  Married? Single?  Neither; in a monogamous relationship, approaching our first anniversary.  *fond smile*

6.  Kids?  Furbabies?  Sadly, no.  I grew up around lots of dogs, but student housing isn't the best place to have pets.  As soon as I can be a responsible dog owner, though, I will.  (As for kids ... someday?)

7.  Favorite color?  In the abstract - rich purples, burgundy, pink.  To wear - black, chocolate brown, pink, green.

8.  Favorite movie?  Maëlstrom, Un crabe dans la tête, Les invasions barbares, Sound and Fury, Michael Collins, Rory O'Shea Was Here, Little Miss Sunshine ... (this is a rotating list, but a pretty dependable sampling of my tastes)

9.  Hobbies?  Er ... hobbies ... yes, I remember those from before grad school .... hmm.  Well, I read a lot, I blog, I'm trying to learn to knit, and I'm on the lookout for a Celtic music jam session in town.  (Also, as the pic and the profile might give away, I'm a Renaissance Faire geek.)

10.  Favorite snack?  Sugarfree Fudgsicles, school cafeteria fries, or whatever my latest freakish sugarfree baking experiment has produced (someone has to eat the stuff).  Also, mangoes, in season.

11.  Favorite beverage?  Coffee.  Diet Mountain Dew.  Sugarfree Red Bull.  (nooo ... no trend here ...)

12.  Biggest Obstacle to Getting Healthy?  It's a lot easier to eat unhealthily than healthily at school: I usually grab what's cheapest and/or quickest, which is usually not the healthiest; I have no idea what's in the cafeteria food but there's no way it's good for me; plus, I'm not a big exerciser, though I'm hoping to change that.

13.  Weight/Fitness Goal?  135, though that's still apparently overweight for my height.  What can I say, I like having curves.

14.  Least Favorite Household Chore?  Um ... any?  (My birthday present to my sweetheart, by special request, is going to be to clean my room and keep it that way.  I'm *terrified.*)

15.  How did you find Calorie Count?  My SO started using it first, and I followed suit.

16.  Anything Else You'd Like To Share? Nothin' so far.  I'm sure I'll have lots to say once I settle in, though.  *grin*
