...Actually, my name is Kelly.<br><br><br><br>
I'm 18 years old. I've been an on-off vegetarian for about four years, but I finally decided to go vegan about a month ago, and I feel so much better already. I find that it's much easier for me to be physically active.<br><br><br><br>
Not to mention that I also love cooking. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""> I like finding new vegan recipes and trying them out.<br><br><br><br>
I am also a classically trained singer. I can sing opera.<br><br><br><br>
I look forward to posting with you guys. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/hamster.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":hamster:">

Wow, that dancing broccoli emoticon reminded me to make some vegan broccoli rice and cheese casserole tomorrow. Jo Stepaniak is a goddess.

I'm not really a singer. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/undecided.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":-/"> You should hear me, I'll make you cry. My pathetic attempt at singing falls somewhere between alto and a soprano.

Welcome to VB!!

 

[Tesseract]

I roomed with a voice major for 3 years in college. She was a soprano. I had enough singing to last me the rest of my life! She infected me with all her stupid diction exercises, and I still sing them to this day, over 10 years later. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/kick.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":junk:"><br><br><br><br>
Oh, and hi! Welcome! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/hi.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":hi:">

Welcome.<br><br><br><br>
I usually go more for insrumental classical music, but my mom loves opera and I've seen 7 with her. I don;t know that much about it but my favorites so far are "Adriana Lecouvreur(sp?)" by Cilea, "La Boheme" by Puccini, and "Tales Of Hoffman" by Offenbach; I don't have any favorite singers. But we've also seen "Lohengrin", "Porgy And Bess", "Les Troyens", and "Don Carlo". She's seen loads more... one of her favorites is "Tosca". She's a huge Placido Domingo fan, but likes a lot of other opera singers too.

Porgy and Bess is brilliant, and I also like Carmen quite a bit, it's also very helpful to me because I study French. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">
