Well, as my original intro was lost, I guess I get the chance to redo my room!!! Feel free to come on in, just PLEASE take your shoes off at the door! Thank you.
Well here's me (again)...
*NAME- Amanda
*SEX- female
*AGE- 23
*LOCATION- Hmmm... a tricky one! Currently in Durham. I spend my summers in France (miles from civilization), and spring and autumn in Wales (do sheep count as civilization? If so, then a thriving community!)
*FAV. TOYS- at the moment my fire poi, but also my juggling balls, diabolo, my new staff, guitar, mountain bike, and of course my beloved kayak!...too many more to mention!
*TWIRLING SINCE- learned bits of stuff since 2000, but only really got into it this year. I was on crutches for 3wks, after dislocating my knee (ow!), so I spent all the time learning new poi stuff (every cloud has a silver lining eh?).
*OCCUPATION- Outdoor Activity Instructor/ river guide
*HOBBIES- naturally my poi and stuff, but also do lots of kayaking, canoeing, climbing, mountain biking, snowboarding, and bits of other sports.
*FAV. PLACE- Specific favourite one is sat on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the gorge where I work in France, with nothing around for miles apart from the wild boar, and watching either the sunset in the distance, or one of the impressive lightning storms we have.
I also love anywhere where I can sit on a mountain or beside a river, hearing nothing but the noises of nature. A BIG reminder of the beauty of it all...
Anyway, thats pretty much me in a nutshell! Feel free to come and chill in my room- its a great place for relaxing and being at one with nature! (and who said i was a hippie?!
). On the plus side, tea and cakes are supplied for free!!! And if i'm feeling generous i may even let Narr in with her weird marmite/chocolate spread mix! euch!Catch you all soon,
Mand.
------------------
It used to seem to me that my life ran on too fast, and i had to take it slowly just to make the good parts last. But when you're born to run its so hard to just slow down.

WHY won't the wind go away?!
It's not much to ask for!
We've had force 8, gusting force 9/10, gales. All I want to do is go outside and play with some fire!
I'm having to resign myself to practice poi and L.E.D. sticks in the hall. It really isn't as much fun. Why do I live in the windiest place of the wettest windiest country???
Bring on the sunshine!
*tries to do a happy sunshine dance, but gets funny looks from the librarian*

Ok, so I'll save the sunshine dances for when I get home!I really want to go and do some fire poi on 'Lord Herefords Knob' (errr...no, its a mountain), but I don't even think I'd make it up there at the moment!
*Prays for wind to go away*
Anyway, at least the rivers are up!

I finally escape the wet windy welsh country tomorrow!
Sunshine all the way for me!
Hopefully I'll be around more in the next couple of weeks- I've been away from here and now everything looks soooo different.
Hope everyone's still well and having fun.

welcome back mand!
I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.
