Like Pengwino you print off the Graemlin codes and pictures and stick them on your monitor to save time when typing replies!
Pengwino says - It was just an idea. Because my computer is being so slow and the Graemlins box takes such along time to load.

When you are at school and you realise how much you crap on about HoPpers...
"ayellayen offered me his school uniform for muck up day eve"
"i really want to take up valura's offer to go and stay with her"
"yeah, bovril taught me how to make [insert balloon thingo here]"
"after romania i'm going to see if I can stay with konsti/vanize/whoever else offers"
"man, i havent seen flynt in ages!"
etc.
and all these are usually followed by "beth, who on earth are you talking about!!!!!"
i would have changed ***** to phallus, and claire to petey Petey

When you don't tidy your room for three weeks cause you'd rather spin poi or post on HOP (Even though ~10 HOPers came around and crashed there a while back after BJC and tribe of frog and left chocolate wrappers and other crap all over the place!)
