hello out there *waves frantically*

im new to the site and im new to poi in general (thanks Pigeon_wigeon for introducing me to it biggrin ive found something else to take up the time between sleeps biggrin)

ok so after long and careful deliberation of other peoples intro's heres mine (well ok it was about 4 but nm)

so here goes alitmetle thats it - for those of you who dont get dingbats heres a slightly longer version of a little about me:



name Sam

location : surrey UK, tho hopefully september going to uni at UCL or Warwick to do physics

age: 17 though i turn 18 in 2 weeks and 23 minutes :P ie the 26th march



interests : poi obviously, i love anime and japanese culture in general, old cartoons from the 80's and quite a few from the present. i love going out with mates - though i do tend to drink too much. um... lots of other stuff but ill spread it into different sections to make me look more interesting

books: mainly fantasy and sci fi but i also love to read physics and science based stuff. oh and anything by terry pratchett

music: almost anything except CandW and a lot of rap and hip hop style stuff i find annoying i love rock smile

films: ill watch most anything but i love comedies and action cant stand rom-com (actually i cant stand anything where for some un known reason theyve shortened comedy to com including tradgy com teen com and com com :P) - favourite films have to be shaun of the dead, LOTR amd anything by monty python

TV comedies again but the more scetch based stuff, dramas and serials and such :P fav TV programs is probably the simpsons smile

when im not doing any of the above: im either sleeping, eating, drinking coffe or spending time w/ my gf nilla smile i love you nilla biggrin



ok well now you have a fairly meaningless list of stuff about me i hope to get to know more of you properly

this is a bit late but i realised i dont have a lot of people's emails so you would have missed the mass mail so here goes

my phone recently commited suicide in a most nasty way; the end result of which was the almost complete loss of all my numbers, so anyone who's number i had and would wish me to have it again either PM me text me (i still have the same phone number) or what ever

*hugs to all*

Sorry I had to run off to work yesterday! I'm going alright. Finished university and decided that there's nothing worse than being someone's photocopying bitch so opted for another gap year. Vanuatu this time! Was beyond amazing! Really, I could crap on about it for hours! I was living on an outer island without any of those little luxuries like electricity or plumbing or even food with taste! But I was adopted by a local family according to traditional tribal customs and the village really took me in as one of their own.

So now I'm living back with my parents while I try to find a real job (as in not bartending because I don't want to do that for the rest of my life!) hopefully as a journalist. Radio preferably.

So what's news with you?

Well I'm still waiting for my gap year (I'll organise one some day) but still at uni, I finished my degree and went back for another. Mainly because I couldn't find a job worth doing so I'm now a PhD student which is awesome.

Other than that not much - I'm living in London now which is amazing. I did direct a juggling show about a year and a bit ago which was great fun at the time but kind of killed my enthusiasm, I'm only really re-emerging because I miss jugglers rather than juggling itself (and poi et al)

In UK any time soon? wink

Yeah you should definitely do a gap year - in my totally biased opinion of course laugh3

Living in London exciting?

No UK trip for me any time soon. Lacking funds, plus now that I'm trying to enter the real workforce (as opposed to just being a bar wench) I'm faced with the reality of not just being able to jet set frown

Plus I believe it's your turn to come here wink

Living in London is great fun. As to coming there if I can scrape the money together (unlikely before I graduate again) I will if not 2.5 years time I'll try and get down there and do some sofa stealing

also need to go and see my ex-flat mate in Brisbane as well

and Ularu

and learn to swim

and scuba dive more....

*hug* I'll get out there at some point
