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.

Went and saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers on Tuesday night at Earls Court. It was ok, nothing special. I am not going to a gig in such a big venue again unless I can get golden circle tickets, it's just not worth it. I got covered in beer (I dont even drink) and the people I went with couldnt see, I had forgotten shoes so was wearing someone elses and they were a bit sore and hurt my feet, it was too hot and sweaty and sore feet=sore back. But at least I['ve seen them live now.
And on Wednesday was Samantha's 36th birthday (my spiritual guru and the woman who gave me my first pair of poi), so sat around with her for some of the day and then came back to Brighton, went to Hilde's place, had some pizza, watched some tv, and fell asleep. Tomorrow is friday. Yeah baby!
Mark and I are having issues at the moment, brilliant. We havent been seeing much of each other and I go into biatch overdrive whenever he's around...we both feel pretty bitter about it all methinks. This relationship is on it's last legs... sigh..I really dont feel up to dealing with this today, but I dont have much of a choice.. *sigh* I need to face the fact that I am an independant agent and no amount of love can make oil and water come together...

Aww Thanks girls, but I'm ok with it. It's my decision and at last I am comfortable with it, so it's all good really.

I wish. The crowd by large was too tall (even for me) and consisted mostly of beer-swelling rugby players. Anthony Keidis is most defenitly a babe and they are awesome live but it wasnt quite the beautiful encounter I had hoped for.

Yeah, unfortuanately Em, couldnt have gotten too close even if I tried, the golden circle ticket holders had the right idea though.

hiya hun
well thats all you'll get from me..I don't do sentimentalationism *nods*I'm knackered (got to sleep at 5 this morning)
I did a show in plymouth last night for the 12 finalists of a beauty contest (going on a calander for breast cancer chaity) and all the photographers wanted to do was tak pictures of us with fire & light suits.
Lois.... you know no man will ever reach the "Lee standard". we 2 are just to unique and perfect and have taken all the best qualities from the rest of the men...and WE WON'T SHARE
but we love you... kinda, well actually we only hang around with you because we're paid to but we won' tell anyone. 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.

Already saw the RHCP about 7 years ago (has it really been that long?!) and although I enjoyed it wasn't lifechanging...
A few friends of mine went to the Manchester one (I turned the ticket down)
To be honest I'm getting a bit disillusioned with the whole live music scene. Except for a few smaller acts I can't be arsed with the arena/stadium/festival ethic now as it seems to be less about the music than it does getting competely w**kered and throwing yourself as other (unwilling) attendees...

Geeez, thanks Mynci.
I know what you mean Dave, I'm just not into the big gig/festival vibe. It's horrible. I like small intimate gatherings (like orgies
) better... "I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty, every day,and if you can source your own life from its presence.." - Oriah Mountain Dreamer

thanks kyle and dave...no comment Ok as of last night I am oficially single again. Its a bit of a relief really. I ended up just blurting out that I think we should break up and he just nodded. It was probably the easiest yet most tense breakup ever. We sat not speaking for ages which is why I had to just blurt it out... just the fact that we had nothing to say to each other made us sure the decision was right.So it's done now and I feel like a little weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
