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.

Isn't there some sort of exclusion principle governing that sort of arrangement? I mean, if it were to actually happen, wouldn't the world end or something?

No No No!
The world wouldn't end, but we'd end up on our own world....yeah, that's it.

Well it'd be a world occupied by the people listed above, and people like them, so I think it'd be a fun world!

I just want to be sure there is oxygen and water and a few other things before I commit us to it.

Hmmm... could be tempting.

If so, then bring it on!!!

Oh of course we'll have air to breath, water to drink, food to eat...
Hmm...perhaps replicators would be a good thing??

Think Star Trek...
Replicators are a machine on the ship which replicates food and other objects on demand. Simply request what you would like, and it magically appears in front of you. For instance, John Luke Picard (captain of Starship Enterprise) likes to request Earl Gray, hot.

Well i would, and i have all the stuff to do it- except the knowledge!
Come on- if i can't even get an avatar to work, what hope do i have with photos?!
However, one of my mates has just returned home for xmas, and part of her job is computer mechanics! I need to get her over here, and i will have a lovely avatar and photos!
(If you're really desperate, you could pm me and tell me how to do it, and i'll give it a try!)

HAHA! you're a lousy liar!!!

Well your photos certainly look good!
Are you going to wear those little shorts to spin in at kent?! You might get really cold...but i'll be sure to keep you warm!
And you'll be better at spinning than me (not that it bothers me). I only really got into it near the end of last summer, but find gatherings like this an ideal place to learn (i cant learn from reading text- i have to see it being done). At the moment, my style is very much trick-transition-trick-transition, and i'm working on trying to slow it down and make it more fluid.
Anyway, enough of the technical talk... back to pounces little black shorts...

me thinks those would be WAY too cold to spin in. those pics are from mid-july in vegas (read: 120 degree heat). i could get away with lil clothing. winter spinning is more the jeans and long sleeve shirt style. but i could certainly wear those lil black shorts elsewhere
