I'm out of my mind...but you can leave a message
If you remain calm while all around you is collapsing...possibly you are missing something

I probably wont be there on Sunday... school the next day and all... I want to get something started Fridays - I know there's apparently something in the Luna Park gardens but I'll see if I can make it permanent. It'll give everyone who has commitments on mondays and thursdays somewhere to go. Oh - Flynt i sparked up my staff the other night lol !

Hey what's happening this weekend? Moomba time! I got some friends that are bored and want to come twirling. Also I want to see whether I can stay out all weekend. So what's on?
a)Dancing?
b)Singing?
c)Excessive use of fuel for extremely cool looking effects?
d)All of the above!
"I'll lock in D, Eddie"
"Are you sure about that? Would you like to reconsider?"
"Just lock in the fucking selection prettyboy."
Motorshow on Friday - $20
Firetwirling all weekend - $20
Ending up in a gutter somewhere with a smile on my face - Priceless
Hmmm, can you tell I'm bored? No? Good cos I'm not. I'm thinking about all the time I could be spending studying for my maths test tomorrow - tell me when I'm ever going to need to expand a binomial equation ever again. Methods 3/4 can suck my wick... Oh well, I better get some study done... I don't want to end up doing Basket Weaving out woop woop at Sunshine TAFE or something...

To whom it may concern,
Phil, Jespa and myself will be in alexandra gardens tonight with some friends. My mobile number is 0438507425 if anyone wants to get into contact with me. If you're sending a message start it with HoP or something so I know who you are. Might see you there.

hey folks!! Moombah is on, and we are going to take full advantage of the friendly vibe.
spinning will henceforth be at that location on sunday night!
for those of you who are unsure: Alexander Gardens, just south of the bridge next to Flinders station. I'll bring the oh so tall Dom with me, so those of you who have missed out on meeting him can come and have a spin. Spread the word folks, be nice and warm too by the looks of it! so i'll see you all there! probably meeting at the end of the bridge just before the path down to the gardens at seven. For those of you who are late, feel free to msg me for a location! xoxoxox escalators!

woohoo! hooray for those who turned up! and silly ppl who didnt, well you have truly missed out this time. I know those who were there have definately benifited from some one on one time with Dom, particularaly Jespa, who can now do Isolations!! awesome guys! it was great to see you goofs by the way, catch you next sunday!??
Fyi to everyone, Next sundays spin will most likely be at the back of luna park, as the area where we normally spin is fenced off and they are doing some landscaping work there. So to avoid the wind and hail, we'll be in the grassy area behind luna park.
Next on the agenda, our beloved french froglette Cassandra will be at spinning this Wednesday night!! this is a ONCE only opportunity folks as she is leaving on thursday and we get her for one night only!!! itd be awesome if we could get a nice big turnout for her, and show her some true melburpian hospitality
cheers!

Cass, thank you for coming and brightening our lives, even if only briefly. Your firedancing is beautiful and unique, and even Melbourne itself warmed up for you (the weather's gone back to being cold and boring now). It's good that you're going to Sydney. Sydney needs you. Good luck in your travels.
