Hey there everyone,
Well, now that I'm close to post number 300 I thought I'd do an intro thread... it seems like I'll be hanging around for a while now
Edit:
Yep, this is all changed cos I'm not feeling as sentimental as I was when I wrote the last intro.
I'm 28, live outside Belfast in Northern Ireland, run the fire performance group FirePoise (www.firepoise.com), like to travel and good music.
My myspace page is www.myspace.com/clarepalmer
Take care
bye

Y'know what... I'm not really liking the new name...
Perhaps I'll be original and call myself Clare.
What do you think?

I didn't like to say, but now you mentioned it, Furry Swings just conjures up images of middle aged couples throwing their keys into a bowl (if you catch my drift)

How about just "Lovely" as a name, as that's pretty accurate

I was thinking that too Skully... I had hoped to conjure up images of a child's swing... but I should know this board better
Thanks Durbs... I was trying Clare and *Clare* but apparently I can't have them... security reasons...?
Anything else?

Bah humbug, Games.
Yes indeed I am... I'm heading to Bristol tomorrow morning, and hopefully sleeping in someone's tent. Otherwise, I'll be cold.
Coming back on Thursday, and driving to Galway on Friday... I reckon it'll be the last mission for the lovely wee fiesta
(before I get m'lovely new van )
See you there?
Hope so

Clare, it was lovely meeting you at Brizzle, you truly are a delight to the senses!
So I give you this picture of a bear holding a flower, rather coyishly as a token of my love.

Hello everyone
Something quite splendid happened last night, and I wanted to share it...
We started poi workshops back in April in Belfast... One of our workshopees was Dale Mawhinney, an amazing artist, and lovely guy (on here as ZombieDale) - I think he was dragged along by his lovely girlfriend May.
Anyways, he took a picture of me fire dancing and decided to paint it.
I saw it last night for the first time, and was completely blown away. I love it. I love the movement and the colour and the stars...
I know he painted the picture because it was a strong image, but it's a complete honour to be included in a piece of art.
Thanks Dale!!!

Thanks lady... glad you liked it
Hope you're doing well and things are good in Canadia-land...?
Things are ok here... finally settling down after three months of hard work.
Take care, and maybe see you in Thailand
