Hello

I'm not new, but as I haven't posted in over two years most people will have no idea who i am smile

I joined HoP in 2002 when I was a student and had endless amounts of free time for spinning, dossing on the internet and going to parties. I have a *lot* of very happy memories from this time and met scores of lovely people.

After graduating in 2004 I moved across the country for a job and lived in a city centre flat with no outdoor space to practice. By the end of 2005 I had (for one reason or another) lost touch with most people and stopped spinning altogether. frown

My original introduction thread from 2002 got deleted long ago in some kind of server thingymajig and the 'new' version from 2003 is hilariously out of date now. Thus as I've decided to keep an eye on the forum again and potentially post once in a while I've decided to create a new version.

So, here goes:

Name: Flid. I chose this name without knowing the history/meaning of the word beyond slang for idiot. I didn't intend when I joined the forum to really ever post on it. By the time I realised it wasn't overly politically correct far too many people knew me by it and it seemed too late to change.

Location: Warwickshire, UK.

Hometown: Don't really have one. I've lived in 9 counties, but feel most comfortable in London & the southeast.

Birthday (sign?): Gemini

Age: 28

Sex: M

Occupation(s): Project Management

Favorite Food(s): Wheat based products (bread, cake, cookies, pasta, noodles etc). Chinese & Italian. I've been vegan for about 10 years which limits things a little bit, but has encouraged me to find and try all sorts of good foodstuffs I would have otherwise not known existed.

Favorite Color(s): Blue

Toys: Poi mainly. I quite enjoy staff, but have always sucked at it.

Hobbies other than the obvious: Relaxation, Walking, Cooking, Coding, History, Home Automation/Cinema, Photography etc. I have way more interests than time to persue them. I hardly ever get bored and am totally read to retire.

Education: Degree in Computer Games (very useful)

Favorite Book(s): Too many to list and mainly very obscure.

Favorite Movie(s): Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Godzilla vs. a Star Wars Star Destroyer. Who wins? Why?: Don't know, don't care smile

Favorite TV show(s): Most food programs, 1st and 2nd series of sci-fi dramas.

Plans for life in general (i.e. what you want to do when you grow up): Retire

Favorite Music Artists/Composers: Hardhouse, (psy)trance, classical

Do you think these pants make my butt look too big?: Yes

Favorie ice cream flavor(s): Vanilla. Icecream should generally be eaten with things and vanilla is the most versitle.

Marmite, Vegemite, or Nutella?: Neither

Postcounts got rid of to stop people "post-whoring" and seeing who could get the highest number grin

Hello Flid! Nice to see you back ... not that I'm around too much lately. But it's still nice to see you back.
