hey, im Lianne hows everyone doing?
im away up living near the capital of the highlands in scotland, i got my staff for christmas after pleading with my folks for ages to get one. my portugese friend introduced me to it while he practised it (unlit..) in college, and a couple of friends took their staffs down to the beach, we had a big fire, watched the sun set, watched it rise and played with fire..
i loved it so much and found out a couple other people i knew had poi as well, i just had to get a staff..im slowly learning contact stuff after a short session up in lewis after speaking to a couple of guys who were spinning and had put on a great show, it was a load of info at once, but i think i remembered quite a bit! if youre reading this guys thanks again, i couldnt remember your username so make yourself known like!
also into music, heavily. i like a wide range, mostly alternative i guess, everything from punk to funk to stoner rock to psy-trance to dark metal, theres a band for every occasion and more! i sing and write songs as well, my aim is to find a band into as wide a range as i am and take different styles and mesh them altogether, take everything i like about it and put it in with something totally different and find a way to join the two. also play guitar and bass, and i love messing about with percussion, my little brother has a djembe
any way enough about me, take it easy

Just the usual stresses. Too much to do, no time to do it. Seems that uni has taken on the 10/12-hour-day-7-days-a-week thing, already, and I still feel like I'm not getting anywhere... Never mind the lack of social life...and I haven't had time for a spin in AAAAAAGES!!! *rant over*
Funnily enough, I feel much better for getting that out.
hey Tom, fancy seeing you here!

well I couldn't resist the title and if you happen to be around it's a certain indication for a cosy place, besides I love optimists tea brewing...
May I offer you some cookies? Fancy Chocolate coconut flavour?

... and here, Lianne have some flowers
You know I usually don't keep plants in my thread... I only pay compulsory attention to it, therefore it wouldn't be nice of me to keep some...

Ooooh!! I feel bad for not having brought anything now! Ummm....
Hopefully that should be enough to go around!
I feel much better today, I decided to start learning to juggle last night, and 2 hours of thudding, crashing, smashing, and generally masterful ball-dropping ensued. It was brilliant fun, and surely a sight to behold, limbs flailing, mum shouting at me to "stop that
thumping!!!" My favourite part was when my dog (who sat at my feet the whole time) managed to catch one of the balls before I did, and proceeded to run around the house (and through the garden) with it, making me chase him. I eventually managed to catch him by climbing under the dining room table and chairs....it was nice to know I had a captive audience.

Not at all honey. Miss Clavey doesn't have internet in her house, so she doesn't get on here too much, unless she goes to the library. She'll be back with us shortly I'm sure, and be delighted for the company. And in the meantime, here's some easy listening to keep you going...
just joking.

umm - well in bits and pieces, I'd say... Just had the opportunity to punch in my personal planetary playground coverage (atthis helpful website) and it returned with the message that I have only visited 12% of this gem planet....
So realistically speaking: I'm a couch potato
If it would be mine, I would give you this cellphone...

If you'd sell it, you'd have enough money to pay back your loan, go on travels and take all of your friends and family with you. oh, yes and it would get you some firewood, too, as it's available at the bargain of 1.3 Million US$

good plan.....but without mayvbe stealing it from some wealthy american, maybe i should just try my luck at putting dreads on people and asking extortionate prices...or busking 24 hours a day 7 a week...? think it'd work? on spam robots - "Burn the robot!
