not been on long, but my two pence.

Medusa, for chatting to me like an old friend the first time i stumbled into the chat room.

Gnorc, ditto.

Elanna, for trying to explain the deep and profound mysteries of how that chat room actually works, you may have failed but it was lovely of you to try.

Dub All Star, for just saying to a complete randomer on the net, "yeah im at uni but come along to this rave saturday night, and juggling club at the uni monday nite and have a spin."

And to all the other HoP'ers who've made me feel welcome...you know who you are!

Whatever it is, If it makes you happy and you're not hurting anybody then you are making the world a better place.

The world always looks nicer when you're spinning.

Arsn has said that he has never seen me so happy as I am after I have spent time with you and Bec. You constanly inspire me with your light and your childlike joy at life. The way that you push yourself to constanly improve in your creative sphere leaves me in wonderment

DevKev
You are my bestest of friends kebbie. You pulled me out of a dark hole when I needed it the most and reminded me of my spirit side.the way that you drawl hiiiiiiii at me everytime we talk never fails to crack me up.

Bec
You are my feel good fairy. EVERY time I have seen you you have been smiling and giggling with those around you.

Awwww! I'd like to thank Sophie for helping me that one time at band camp! And that one time at the beach when I needed help to get sand out of my shorts. And then for not getting upset when there wasn't really any sand.
Oh yeah! Sorry that wasn't Sophie. K, guess I just have to thank Sophie for being Sophie, which in some language stands for wonderful!
