Hi, I'm brand spanking new to HOP, never even new it existed until I stumbled upon it recently. Only just starting to get my sea legs as far as the technology thing goes. Just typed poi into a search engine and BAM, Here I am. And right glad I am too. Been spinning for years on and off, started in South Africa and the enthusiasm kinda waned once I got to the UK and refused to leave the warmth of indoors for months. Years later I am regaining my passion and learnig to accept that 26 degrees celcius is warm.
Think Hop is amazing, looking forward to learning and living and loving and growing.

Hello All my lovelies Not really online much these days, busy busy girl! I couldn't be better, thank you.
I've been spending loads of time in London seeing the boy, who I am absolutely smitten with. It's a bit rubbish that I only get to see him on weekends as we live in different cities, so we spend as much time together as possible on weekends. But he's completely worth it.
Got ur message the other day Mynci, sorry I havent replied.I'm afraid my December is all booked up with the boy. I'm even just spending my birthday with him.
Missing you guys loads.

His name is Ben 
and he's amazing. He's a really nice guy, the type of guy that everyone likes. I'm absolutely crazy about him...that hasn't happened in a really really long time. He makes me so happy. Possibilties of meetings are always there I suppose. I very much doubt I'll bring him along to any spinny meets, but you never know, maybe he's up for it.

quick question to our favourite people, would you like to see Nizlopi (JCB song) at our festival or a cheaper band with money spent on other content and decorations? A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

I'm not the biggest Nizlopi fan...plus I don't spend a lot of time watching bands, I just get distracted anyway...so I would say spend the moolah on other stuff...just my opinion
Good boy Dave...make him good and ready for when he comes
Otherwise I am here to corrupt..oops, I mean make people feel welcome I am very well thank you, when are you coming home??On a different note..I got my Christmas plans sorted out
