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.

Thanks guys.
Had a lovely birthday, though I'm really starting to feel older this week. A friend threw me a pajama party on the friday which was very nice. It was supposed to be a surprise but it turns out not many of my friends can keep secrets, especially since my one friend forgot to tell most people it was supposed to be a surprise

Thank YouI cant wait for this day to be over. I'm the only one in my office working xmas eve (which is brilliant) and then off I go with Ben to spend Christmas with his family, boxing day in London with my aunt, then hanging around in London for a few days and back to Brighton for New years.
I cant wait for the break, and to spend so many days in a row with the boy I love 
If I'm not online again in that time, Happy Christmas and Smashing new year to you all my lovelies.
Lots of love to all.

My mobile is f**ked. I'm not getting voice messages and I'm still getting happy new years text...some of which I know were sent 4 DAYS AGO!!
Oh well, I never use it that much anyway, and I get a new one in 6 months On a side note it looks like I will probably be moving this year, to London. I want to at least see the summer through in Brighton, but it's getting very difficult for both me and Ben only being able to see each other on weekends, and since he can only really do what he does in London and I can work anywhere, and probably get a lot more money for what I do in London anyway, it makes more sense.
So there...

I am really happy, and completely inlove
with him (woah!- thats never happened before!).It was soo nice spending so much time with him over the Christams period and we both seem to be really grumpy now that we're apart. We had a chat about moving in together and I said I would move to London. *sigh* I'll miss Brighton, but it will be worth it.

...the hippy district you speak of is called 'The Laines'. You have the North Laines and the South Laines Thats fair enough, but next time, let me know!
I dunno why so many people are getting married all of a sudden, was actually chatting about it to a friend the other day...the reason may be that we are getting older, as are the people we know, and so more and more are starting to settle down. So basically...it's coz were getting old
I think it also has something to do with it being a bit contageous. Once people start talking about one couple getting engaged it leaves the idea fresh in the minds of other couples...My tummy STILL hurts...I just drank some water and got some horrible shooting pains...WTF??

Yup...thats the North Laines, a very popular area in Brighton
Actual stomach, just a little below the solar plexus, and a bit to my side too. Before xmas I was getting pains quite low on my abdomen, but didn't worry as a tummy bug was going around the office. I suppose I should really get it checked out, I've been feeling queezy since November (I just assumed it was all the cake and christmas sweets, but I've been cake and sweet free for a week and the queezyness is still there, never mind the sporadic pains!
) Rubbish!Baby Lee flies in two days
I'm not going to see him for a year and a half!!! What am I going to do!!??? I'm seeing him off at the airport on Thursday night and I've booked Friday off work so I can go straight to Ben's and stay for the weekend.

because facebook are selling personal information for advertisments. there aim is to get advertisers to fill out a form for their targets and facebook will direct adverts also the government and companies have been using what is available on facebook to fire people and get them in trouble. it's not considered private if you put it on the net. (girl got kicked out of college for spraying shaving foam proof was on her pictures in facebook)
bebo will soon be sold to yahoo and myspace is already in rupert murdocks hands. I have deleted all personal details off every add supported site I'm a member of so my details aren't sent. part of the privacy and terms of all the sites is that thay can sell / show your private details to 3rd parties.
also name, date of birth and place of birth can be used for identy theft etc etc. saw a report with some real horror stories.
