 F/28 strict vegetarian Chicago United States

About Me: Raised in the mean backwoods of Colorado (ok I lived in Denver)where instead of attending school like the other kids I was "unschooled" which is sort of like homeschooling but without actual classes and set text books. So while you chumps were in a classroom I was reading reading Hemmingway while sitting in a tree or wading barefoot in a creek collecting rocks to study. In my late teens my family moved to Missouri, finally settling in St. Louis where I began taking bellydance classes to meet people. I did indeed meet people and eventually became a professional bellydance performer, choreographer, and instructor. The people I met through dance continue to be some of my closest friends and like a second family to me. In need of an adventure and new horizons I moved to Chicago last June. Chicago was never a place I wanted to live due to the horrible winters so I'm hoping not to stay too long. After I finish CNA training I think I'll check out Portland or head back to Denver. Somewhere with more sunshine.
How I became a veggie: Being a curious person I wondered about it one day and did some research. I looked at articles and videos and even called stores like whole foods to ask questions about where their meat comes from. My brother was already vegan and my mom was vegetarian off and on so I had help making the transition. I've been veg for about 3 years.
