Everyone else seems to have an interesting and sparkly intro thread, so I decided that I wanted one too.

So, I'm going to introduce myself to you all, all over again.

You lucky people.



I'm Boo!

Hello wave

I will be your hostess for this thread. So come in, come in. Settle down, you’ll find the couch is squidgy and comfortable.



If you’d like to make yourself at home, here’s a little about me.

(It's not a jumbled list of random stuff, think of it as free-association wink)



I was born in East Anglia in 1975, and went to Uni in Brighton, and then Cambridge/Norwich.

These days I live in Cornwall in a house by a river.

I can't surf...yet



By the way, I am not that kind of doctor, I don't know what that rash is. eek So don't ask me, but for God's sake, keep it covered up.



I learnt to juggle when I was 17. Taught by an amazing, stuffed-Koala-bashing, axe-juggling guy called JP who I went to school with. Unsurprisingly, he seems to have made it pretty big in Australia, as well as at festivals all over the world.

My mates in Cambridge did fire poi, which looked like fun.

I seem to own more poi than I have learnt moves - 4 pairs now (none of them the fire-setting kind) – from fluffy to glowy.

I can now do a behind the head butterfly, and a sort-of 3-beat weave.



I love music - everything from Aerosmith and Bruce Springsteen to Mr Scruff and Lemon Jelly.

I can play the Saxophone and the flute.

I can't dance



I make little figurines of gremlins and wizards out of Fimo.

Pink is very nice.

I give great hugs.

I can’t bear people stealing my oxygen. (You know, when you’re hugging and their head is too close and they’re breathing in and out and it’s like their recycling your air before you get to breathe it…um...you don’t know what I’m talking about? Oh. Nevermind.)



I love Stephen Fry (he once told me I was unique - my claim to fame!!)

Candles are great, so are baths, hugs, and sleeping.

I love films.

I do a bit of photography in my spare time.

I can't watch horror films. I get too scared.



I recently discovered chocolate pizza. It is amazing.



Feel free to pop by and have a lie down on the couch anytime. The Boo is always in. Rather unprofessionally, I also provide pots of tea, scones, and other baked goods for those on my couch. And hugs hug



So…lie back, relax and tell me, what did you want to talk about today? ubbrollsmile

Ah, went there with my Dad a few years back.
Hmmm. Yes. It is interesting. No burning desire to go back and stare and dishes though wink

This isn't working is it?

Ok. I have time on my hands.
I do photography, play the sax, and I spin poi. Sort of.
I have a car and a computer
I live in Cornwall

There must be hundreds of things I could do with this combination of things.
Pity about the monkeys
Any other ideas?

I would make the pizza, only I need to cut back a little after a couple of months of baking scones every teatime.
The recipe for Chocolate pizza that I ate in a restaurant is in the This is My Favourite a recipe book which is being sold in aid of Children in Need.

That's my little bit for charity for today

I'd love to rescue one. They are sooooo cute.

I mean for the love of god look at that adorableness.

I didn't even know I liked hodgehegs very much until this afternoon.

But the I don't know where I'd put a smelly rabbit hutch in this house (it doesn't even belong to me, we're squatting here while my parents sail the world. They may be a little peeved to return to find a hedgehog-smelling spare bedroom.....)

Hmmm. My poi abilities are neglible. I advise some loud music and frantic spinning.
Clean the house if it makes you feel better. But if it doesn't. Stop.

By the way, I'm really really reluctant to give advice. But. Have you talked to her about all this? It sounds like a really long friendship, and it may just be a phase of her going out with these new people, it may not last - and she may not know it's hurting you. (If you have explored all avenues regarding this stuff, ignore all this advice and get spinning). wink

Butterfly to reverse weave cud be tricky my butterfly turns are shite. rolleyes
Thanx for the advice Boo. Yeah I hear you on the talking thing, and i have done that. Many times. My husband has been saying give her another chance for ages but now even he has said she bang outa line. Sent her a email- I know it's a crappy way to say stuff but I am past wanting to talk to her and anyways she has not returned my calls for a month.
I keep thinking maybe she will read it and be like oh my gosh! and call me but I'm not getting my hopes up. After all, last time we spoke she said she hadn't read the last 4 emails I sent her while she was in U.S.A , I sent these over a period of about 5- 6 weeks. Guess she wasn't missing me much then.
My poi abilities are, well, shall we say "negligable" too? ubblol
Frantic spinning sounds good... thankx

She does seem to be treating you badly.
I think this definately calls for poi and chocolate.
At the same time.

And be good to yourself.

Don't be silly. It's a couch, not a thread. And as such cannot be hijacked. Sometimes we're happy, sometimes we're sad.
There is always poi, chocolate and pots of tea.
You're always welcome.
