Ok this is an official update of my mouldy old intro. every time that i accidentally bring up the first page of this instead of the recent one, i get a case of "geez i'm a tool writing such a dodgy intro". so i thought i'd put a fresh intro up for me to feel embarrased about
Here's some information about me...
i live in melbourne, where things are often rainy. raininess makes me sad.
i go to the ever wonderful melbourne sunday spinning, where all the lovely melbourne kids go. If you live anywhere near melbourne and you're checking out this intro to suss out what type of people go on sundays, i highly recommend you come along.
i'm a student nurse, so i get terribly excited about health. it also means that i will intermittently whinge about going on clinicals. i secretly love being on clinicals though.
i'm also a disability support worker, which i've done for ages. i love it heaps, but like any job, it has it's moments.
i live with my boyfriend, who i tend to complain about a lot also, but i love him to bits, even when he gives me the sh!ts.
someone once asked me to sum myself up in 5 words, and i came up with independent, caring, firey, needy and...oh bugger i can't remember the last. i'm sure it was good though
well, i can't think of anything else to put there, so i'll leave it till i start cringing whenever i see this intro
and just so that the initial comments here are in context, here's what my intro originaly said....
"hey, I registered with HoP a few days ago in a procrastination attempt (1exam to go), and this whole talking-to-people-on-the-other-side-of-the-world thing kinda freaks me out. Anyway, I been reading peoples messages, which seems a bit voyueristic, since I haven't really introduced myself. I live in victoria, and I'm studying nursing, play with poi, but haven't 4 ages. please reply with something encouraging, otherwise I'll get scared and feel unwelcome.
Then I'll be stuck with playing solitaire."

welcome to HoP
don't be scared - we don't bite unless you ask us too.
Mech might do some strange things to you if you aren't diligent, but I promise he does everything with a good heart.
be prepared to say pink is your favorite color. It will be obvious when this is the correct answer.
if you got all that down, then you'll have no worried here!
oh yeah - and just to make Durbs happy, I highly recommend that you post threads asking really obvious questions without doing a search first. Durbs really gets off at telling people to do a search, so you can make his day by giving him an excuse to do so.
Hope you have fun here!

you need to get yourself some spybot search and destroy and other adware/spyware removing tools.
And then don't install any freeware on your computer unless you read the user agreement thoughouly before hand. Most people don't realize that they actually agree to have spyware and adware installed on their computers when they blindly click "yes, I have read the agreement" when installing "freeware"
And never open attahemnts in meials from people you don't know, and confirm with those you do know that they actually sent you one before you open an of those.
This day in age, you have to take an active, rather than passive, defensive mode to protect your computer.

Yeah, all's under control with the whole spyware/adware thing. My fella kept installing new removers which made thigns worse, and each time it was like "nah, THIS ones reputable, it'll do the trick". Finally went out and actually bought one, and things have been fine and dandy since then, just a bit slow. Hey Pink..? Thanks for lettin me off! If it's any compensation, I did go thru a short pink phase in high school, but it soon progressed to purple obsession. ha ha. Thanks for the welcoming guys. I just got out of a horrible science exam, and am now officially on holidays!!!Yee hah! Feeling groovy

Cantus- it's shockin here today, raining crazy, and I got wet socks, but it's too much effort to take my shoes off (to many laces), but it'll probably become a beautiful day in a few minutes, cos y'know, that's the way things work round here.
Gnor, I checked out Flynt's thread, she sound cool. tried to follow the link to her web page, but couldn't. Is there a secert trick?

We are the music makers, We are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams;
We are the movers and shakers of the world for ever, it seems.
