Interested/Maybe:

spookyhandle, shades_of_nyx, elphaba_of_oz, seedmoon, oneberdache, hypanebliss, roy_batty, reikirock, marijasro, jeneralist, yoga_matt, skyfyre, tigira, mage_imbroglio, oaktavia, sabrinamari, catpaw67, badseed1980, paganpilgrim


FG 2008:

Some interested partied won't be able to come, but we might be able to work around this (sending in photos, etc.)

Run by baggins911 and solvingmypuzzle, no date yet


Approach:

Include better functionality and increased fitness among the goal options. Ask participants to identify their central goal. Pair people with similar goals together. Choose a theme that celebrates the fact that fitness comes in many shapes and sizes (like "Midsummer Night's Dream")

So, 3 categories thus far: 1. Improved Function 2. Better Fitness 3. SPAAAARTAAAA!

Some people are OK with Second Life meetings, others not sure or did not comment


Offers of Help:

jasminewind - project management assistance
seedmoon - nutritional advice


Questions to be Decided:

Can Blue Star adoptees participate (close allies and Trad friends)? Ex.: citabria, glenmarshall
Can non-Blue Star spouses participate?

I will call wild_place_king tonight to discuss these responses and plan Step 1 of our journey.

There's a Spartan category? You mean, hot guys having sex?

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

Naaa, I mean ripped and muscular.

[elphaba-of-oz.livejournal.com]

Oh! Hot guys having sex would have been sooooo good!

[vgnwtch.livejournal.com]

I think you and I should push for the more historically accurate version. It's all about integrity. Honest.

[vgnwtch.livejournal.com]

Killjoy.

[paganpilgrim.livejournal.com]

Is it too late to get in?

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

Nope. I'll put you in.

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

Nope. You're in.

[spookyhandle.livejournal.com]

My feeling is that the calendar itself should be limited to B* folks, if only because that will make the photos at FG a lot easier. However, I think we should encourage as many people as possible to take care of their physical selves.

I'm pre-Dedication, but interested. What category would i fit in?

*goes back to lurking*

O.T.

[oaktavia.livejournal.com]

now why did I think you had just recently gotten Dedicated?
*shuffles around looking for rest of brain*

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

Good question. Let me think about that, hon.

[dragonflycai.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking I must have missed something. Is that about a B* fitness track/class at FSG this year?

DITTO!!!!

[oaktavia.livejournal.com]

Huh??
can someone please translate this?
I iz vewy confuddled

Re: DITTO!!!!

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

Hon, see my LJ entry previous to this. It explains the the concept of the Pinup Calendar Project.

okie dokie... I've read the previous related post - and you were right to add my name to the list of interested peoples (which threw me when I read this post at first.. "huh? what did I join up for?")...
I'm all for the fitness & improved function... even though I've lost a good chunk of weight, I am SO out of shape - I was in better 'shape' in NJ when I was much heavier! (no shoving around Ford Galaxies all by myself right now [remember that?] - heck, picking up the 40lbs bag of cat litter without straining would be good!)
But I can already say now that I know I won't be making the 2008 Family Gather - I'm already on staff for 3 festivals in the VA area... and trying to squeeze in more vacation time just isn't going to be financially do-able.
I wish someone had gotten a pic of me in the 'Fire Dress' the first time I wore it at FSG... it would have been a great before & after shot!!!

I gotta say - I wikipedia-ed Second Life (had no clue what it was) - and honestly, I truly suck at the whole online gaming thing - so the chances that you'll get me to do the Second Life thing are pretty slim (even a free account would still mean knowing how to use it)

So how will we be doing this..? getting a set of 'stats' & posting them to the 'group' (yahoogroup, LJ community, whatever)...? What will the 'stat parameters' be..? height, weight, BMI..? cholesterol?

Also - I think non-B* family members should be able to participate... they get to attend Family Gather, don't they?
I'm completely okay with B* adoptees, and Pre-Dedicant Students participating - but will bow to consensus... if mandatory FG attendance is a part of the parameters, then I won't be participating in the project either, as I already know I won't be attending FG this year. On the other hand - I can see why not having adoptees & non-Dedicants on the B* calendar makes sense... (a B* calendar should be of B* people after all, hence the name LOL)

Looking forward to hearing more!

hey there better late then never

[gwisteria.livejournal.com]

i would like to participate and have just officially lost 35lbs. but i think i am still too body consciencous to be comfortable scantily clad so if sexy clothes is good enough i am in.

Re: hey there better late then never

[amber-phoenix.livejournal.com]

woo hoo! 35lbs is awesome!

Re: hey there better late then never

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

Sexy clothes is great!

[seedmoon.livejournal.com]

Sounds good so far.
I'm not familiar with Second Life. I need to familiarize myself.

[onyxtwilight.livejournal.com]

If you need a designer, I'm in. :-)

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

Ok, you're in!

[marijahsro.livejournal.com]

I've never tried Second Life but I'm willing to give it a shot. I don't have any strong feelings about who can or can't participate.

Wow - this is really moving along!

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

Thanks for joining us. I'll put you on the list.

[amber-phoenix.livejournal.com]

i'm in! if i'm not too technologically delayed to join up. (my keyboard is broken and responding to posts sometimes takes me ages. we hope to fix it soonish.)

i'd rather not join second life, but will if that's the consensus.

my current goal: triathlon in may! after that...?

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

Gotcha! You're on the list.
