Hi, I'm brand spanking new to HOP, never even new it existed until I stumbled upon it recently. Only just starting to get my sea legs as far as the technology thing goes. Just typed poi into a search engine and BAM, Here I am. And right glad I am too. Been spinning for years on and off, started in South Africa and the enthusiasm kinda waned once I got to the UK and refused to leave the warmth of indoors for months. Years later I am regaining my passion and learnig to accept that 26 degrees celcius is warm.
Think Hop is amazing, looking forward to learning and living and loving and growing.

REALLY???? I friggin LOVED transformers
but then again I didn't really follow the cartoon so I didn't have expectations, so was plesantly surprised. I cried and everything (I love Bumblebee), despite the taunting of all the kiddies I went and watched it with I thought shrek 3 was a big disappointment.
rain? What rain?

again now I was a Big fan of the original cartoon and they stepped away from that a bit, being able to scan something in situ then change into it
never in the original it was all based upon the ship sending out scouts to get viable machine shapes hence the early scouts created the dinobots *geek alert* and bumblebee was a frigging VW beetle not a sodding camero grr *chill*
car not ready yet
and I've been offered a gig on saturday I hope they can get it blooming fixed as £150 is muchly needed after last week. A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

OH.MY.GOD.
Pride was...AMAZING!!!
I had such an awesome day again. The theme was musicals so I went as a Moulin Rouge type character (I really really do love dressing up ) The day was over too quickly though and we were at the free party on the beach before we knew it, got very very trashed, then invited loads of people back to our house for a party once the sun came up on Sunday morning, which carried on til after midday.So feeling a little weak today, but very pleased with the weekend

if this offends anyone...tough
I foound it quite funnyThe BRITISH are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved".
Soon, however, security levels may have to be raised again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out.
Terrorists have also been re-categorised from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance". The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the great fire of London in 1666.
The FRENCH government also announced yesterday that it had raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide". The only two higher levels in France are "Surrender" and "Collaborate". This latest rise was precipitated by a fire that destroyed France's White Flag factory, effectively paralysing the country's military capability.
In addition to the British and the French, ITALY has increased its alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing". Two more levels remain, "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides".
BELGIANS on the other hand are all on holiday and the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.
Finally the SPANISH are very excited as their new submarines are ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so that the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.
