I'm definitely vegetarian (I avoid stuff like renet and gelatine) and I'm often vegan (I have soya milk with my cereal for example) but yeah sometimes I "let my hair down" ;-) Yeah that’s true.

What I tend to say is "I eat vegan 90% of the time, but I'm not vegan". My (vegan) girlfriend would probably say you can’t be vegan cos you eat ice cream sometimes.

What a detailled description :) That's great. We are different on many thinks, but so closed on other like hobbies ! Let's see what we shared (I changed some words) : - I’ve been programming since I was 11. I had an Amstrad CPC and Amiga 500, then finally PC - I’ve been making games all that time in Basic and C++ and AMOS on the Amiga (this was the most fun). - I love Sci-Fi and Fantasy books and movies, oh and Stephen King books. - I love all sorts of music from Heavy Metal, to Classical Music. - I play drum (blues, heavy metal) and have been in a couple of metal bands. I've a Roland TD3. - I used to use Trackers on the Amiga - I love playing games (but seem to be too busy these days!). I’ve played lots of casual games too for research (and fun). I love RPGs but they take up too much of my time so I’m careful to avoid them in case I get hooked. I’ve never played an MMORPG (from fear of addiction). - I had a Mega Drive, I have a Playstation 1 and 2, Game Cube and Wii, oh and a Nintendo DS. - I write game news and reviews for www.casualgames.fr - I used to be good at art but I don’t do the art for my games. However, I’ve got good graphic design skills regarding layout and how things look etc that I can put to good use for game programming. Amazing right ? :-) Wouah ! What a detailled description :)

There are many different variations though, some focus more on Ki (energy/spirit) and some are a bit more "hard-style"/martial. Our school focuses on Ki and mind and body development. You work in harmony with your partner rather than competing against them like in most other martial arts. Thanks Alexei :-) Aikido is great.

I've been dreaming of learning aikido for over a decade now, but where I live we don't have any aikido clubs. I'm planning on moving to a bigger town in the not so distant future, and one of the goals in doing that is exactly to pursue aikido and some other martial arts. Thanks for sharing the info, Jake! Wow, what a personality!
