Quote/Saying: The one eyed wonder strikes again.
I lived in Christchurch, New Zealand last year for a while and was oblivious to the wonders of poi. I even went to the poi shop there which seems so bizarre now. Thank god I have been enlightened since I came home. I have taken my Poi to France, Brighton and Mykonos and poied on bars, beaches, I even poi outside the office at lunchtime much to amusement of my collegues.
Anyway this is my 100th post!!!!!!
This means that I get to change my member status. Does anyone have any ideas what I can change it to?!?!?!?
Hope someone will pop by and say hi… I have refurbished for the new style HoP board with lush purple velvet sofas, soft carpet and I have just put a few more logs on the fire. There is tea and chocolate hobnobs if anyone wants them. Feel free to make yourself at home.

you should put a disclaimer for the americans.....our version of lemonade is different than yours. so we'd be making it all wrong if we didn't know otherwise
(remind me sometime to tell my funny story about how i discovered UK lemonade is different than US lemonade)

I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

mmmm grenadine syrup
when i was working in france we drank buckets of that stuff - it makes the best squash ever
all americans should probably use 7-up or sprite instead of lemonade for this cocktail.
remembering to remove the lime flavouring first of course
did ya know there's a purple liqueur called parfait amour
there is a dodgy american version of that too - the french one is a lovely purple curacao flavoured with vanilla and almonds and while the american one is purple too, it is made from spirit, lemon, coriander and sugar
will have to sample one of those Izzie Wizzie Bang Bang's one day but i think only tea can get me through this last 45 mins of work...

parfait amour - looks and sounds like it should taste nice. I tried it in New Zealand, it doesnt, it takes like popuree (- cant remember how to spell this word darn it)

sounds like something i tasted called 'eau de vie'.
just two shots of it and one of my friends had his head in a bin
it's not at all what it says on the tin and is more like a concentrated version of the smelly stuff stuck to those magic tree car air fresheners (similar to potpourri but fake).
parfait amour is evil by itself but good in vodka cocktails, like this one:
1 part parfait amour
1 part lemon vodka
1 parts squeezed lemon
1 part cranberry juice
shake and strain into a long glass, top up with lemonade (sprite or 7-up for those in the yooessay).
right, i'm off home.
i'm well in the mood for drinking now though!

Coleman - are you a barman? I think we should go out drinking and see who can come up with the ponciest cocktail.
Perhaps we could invent a new one and call it the HoP.

I thought that I would pop myself back on the front page in celebration of flat noah arriving in the post today - if any of you have missed what this is, it is Pele's son's school project. I have even managed to send it on, on the same day. Hurrah!
Also got caught on HoP yesterday by my boss and got shouted at.
Ooops! Still not gonna stop me though, I am far too addicted.
Thats all for now, tra la la la la.
I have got some Orangina and peanutbutter and honey sandwiches if anyone is thirsty or hungry.
Bye for now

Morning people,
Well finally after 7 months of practicing I plucked up the courage to light my poi last night. Hurrah.
It was fantastic. I can believe how unscary I found it. the only problem is with all that fire around me I forgot all the moves and was standing there doing the weave for ages. But it all came back to me. And amazingly I didnt set myself on fire!!!!
It was outside the local pub which was built in 1610 and is gorgeous, in the middle of the valley, with snow all around me and I was with my poi partner in crime, the lovely Al. He also lit his poi for the first time. It was perfect!!!
Sorry to go on but I am just so pleased.
Beaming smiles

The worst thing is I never told him how much I like him and now he is going and I dont know if I should say anything.
ahhhh I dont know what to do.

yes he will be visiting at least but he doesnt know his exact plans yet as it has all been quite sudden. I said he should move in with me and be my house b"tch but I suppose I would have to get a house first. My worry is that he will go back to Oz (he's australian by the way) and never know what has been going on in my head all this time. Then again does it matter if he knows or not. Maybe he knows but doesnt care. See all the stuff that is running through my head. I am living in a whirlwind of indecision.

if this is why you are hesitating, tell him!
yeah, maybe your suspisions will be confirmed, but at least you will know.
if he was going away forever i could see the futility of your situation and more to the point, the comfort factor that comes with not telling him.
however, if he plans to come back, at least let him know that if you had the chance you might have wanted to explore your relationship a little deeper with him.
the worst that can happen is that you flatter a friend.
which isn't a bad thing to do at any time

Good advice..I think I will talk to him tonight. I would regret it if I didnt say anything whether he comes back or not.
I like the thought of flattering a friend!

hey I got a valentines from a secret admirer, I got all my friends to do hand writing test but I cant work out who it is from. It even had a poem in it!!!
Anyway I didnt tell Al because I am very confused young lady who changes her mood and mind as often as she changes her underwear (That is quite often) He is coming back for a week in a couple of weeks so I may then I will have thought things through.
But then I am off travelling. Does anyone want to go for a spin???

Hello people.
Though I would I should add to my intro as it had slipped into infinity.
I am travelling at the moment doing a "world" tour. I have just spent a few days in the Cook Islands. Am feeling a little sunburnt. Now I have just made it to Christchurch, NZ where i am going to stay for about three and half weeks to catch up with friends. then off to Oz. I am hoping to make it to poi meetings in Melborne and Adelaide as well as Christchurch. Then off to Asia.
If there is any one in Christchurch who wants to meet up then PM me and that would be cool, I am going to the Bridge tonight in the hope there may be some people around.
Never did tell my poi boy how I felt and now I dont know when I will see him again. it was for the best though as he is still a really good friend and sometimes good friends can be hard to find.
bye for now
