Heyla, all HoPpers! Man, I can't remember the last time I was back here... I've (doubtlessly) been forgotten or unintroduced by/to all the new members, so I'll do the drill again -- that is, the drill that I remember doing the first time I introduced myself!



Edit and update because I'm much too lazy to create yet ANOTHER 'introduction' thread for myself:



Name: Incidentally, still Beth-Ellen

Home: Wijchen, the Netherlands (exchange student'd!)

Age: 17

Toy of preference: Still poi, of course!

Been spinning: About two years now, on and off...

Favorites: Spinning, reading (Anne McCaffery, David Brin, John Irving, Mark Twain, 'Memoirs of an Invisible Man', 'Contact'), music-ing (clarinet, piano, mandolin, celtic harp, tin whistle, singing), climbing.

Other: I'm a superduper exchange student through the Rotary Youth Exchange program, and am residing in the Netherlands for a year... I've been here a month already, my Dutch is (very gradually) improving, and I know how to take a train -all by myself-. Impressive credentials, eh? wink



Anyway, welcome to my humble abode! I hope you stay long enough to add a comment or two, eat a cupcake (they've got icing!) and help out with the bare walls by bringing some colour into my thread. (Whoa, I can't believe I wrote that. I'm -so- tacky.)



hugs and waves out to all y'all HoPpers--

Nove

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Well, no, as I am much too small to be able to hold the lance, much less get on a horse that could run fast enough to take down a windmill...

But if I could... *shakes fist threateningly at windmills*

But thank you-- it's nice TO be back.

No! It's icky and bitter!



Actually, and more specifically, I don't like the Premium blonde Grolsch, but I -do- like their darker brew. (They took all the exchange students to the brewery and then gave us free beer. Then they made us climb a tower. Hilarity ensued.)



But I can PRONOUNCE it, which is all that really matters.



Edit: Ugh. As I learn more and more Dutch my english fails more and more!

Whoooaaahs. I'm hoping I can get to at least ONE of the meets here... At least at SOME POINT this year. I'd go crazy if not.
Since I am cool, and you like the things I like, we are, obviously, the coolest people ever.

Muaha, Patrick! My hostbrother did not appreciate your joke. Actually, he muttered something under his breath and stalked away to the sound of my cackling laughter.
