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.

I was just wondering.
What hats do they wear?

I'd say they wear halo hats (it is my thread afterall!)
But if you ask Spitfire, she'll probably say they wear devil horn hats!

I reckon everyone should wear hats as made by the Bovril Monkey.
Here is a picture of me wearing one of his creations.

Me thinks Spritie should plan- Spitfire is WAY too busy!
(Oh my god- the angel has wings!
OOh, all new emoticons!)(Spitfire here...she really doesn't have a halo, and she certainly Doesn't have wings!!
)Hey...not fair!
I DO have a halo... and I've drank enough red bull to definitely have wings!

Well, if I'm doing the planning, I say we do dinner tomorrow. I was originally planning on taking my car in to the shop next week (to get the A/C fixed - yay!), and I'm not sure when I'll have it back.
So, where would you guys like to eat?

Is 'tomorrow' Tue or Wed?
Can't do Tue. Can do Wed.
Where do we fancy going? Barnabies?

tomorrow would be tomorrow - i.e. Wed.
Barnaby's sounds good to me...I haven't been there in far too long. I used to eat there once a week, and I miss that.

Sounds good to me. I guess Spitfire is playing hookie today since I sent her a message about that same time but haven't heard from her.

Well we'll see you both tomorrow night then.

*Crawls into the thread, puts the kettle on and cakes in the oven, and collapses on a big cussion pile*
I'm trying my best not to have a big rant this morning, so I'm sorry if bits slip out.
Why do some people have to purposely make things difficult for others? This goes from the standard person on the street to the people who are *supposed* to be intelligent enough to run a country.
It just seems like you have to permanently fight for the smallest of breakthroughs...

Oh, just having my usual rant about certain people who
me off, and about the pretentious in power, who make major things in my life (and the lives of many others) so difficult or impossible. 
*sigh*
It's just one of those days...
