yeah it's cool, feeling really rough today though (mind you that might be because I was in casualty until stupid hours of the morning) and very bruised, landed on my wrist so it took most of the damage.
It's just one of those things that happens, I'm used to it now, (which is why I'm not actually allowed to play with fire, can you imagine the safety hazards of getting random blackouts while holding burning stuff) Thankfully last nights blackout wasn't really as bad as some I've had.
Oh and I know I said it once already but, I was really impressed by you guys, I'd forgotten how pretty fire can be

We thought someone had been on a bike, riding past, distracted by all the pretty fire, and crashed. Hope you heal well

yeah, I wouldn't do fire poi with the possiblility of random blackouts, staff thou, you can drop it or chuck it away from yourself. Poi just get tangled around you. as I found out last night... Never try a BTB weave on fire till your really good at it, otherwise, you get a BTB tangle... not so good.
Yeah it was a good night last night, not many people there, but loads of FIREPOINT! Yay!

nah, don't know where the bike came from, however that would make a really cool story much better than plain old blacking out (might have hurt more tho)
it'll probably turn out to be a blessing in disguise anyhow... can't play about practicing in my hall until the wrist is better so I might actually get some of my assignments done.

(very ashamed to admit this) did you see the ambulance? well that was me getting in it (damn that not being able to resist gravity)
I, like mcp (the mop-woman hybrid
), had thought you were just watching from a seated position... didn't realise you were hurt until the ambulance hopped over
sorry... would have come and chatted if I knew you were in pain - though that might have been more painful for your ears
you planning on visiting us again in the short-term future?

I can give you some clues as who to aproach for them to react "oooh it's YOU..." as if they've read your name here or something like that
And I MAY even bring something to spin next time (grr... didn't plan on staying so long... )

Well up until I went to casualty i was planning on coming down again and doing some more watching, however if you'd heard the people in A&E you would have thought I'd been walking through a war torn country with a big sign saying "ATTACK ME" or something.... aparently you have to be a complete psycho with a death warrant to want to go to the meadows at night, especially on your own, then they very kindly told me about all the people and nasty injuries they'd seen from people who've been attacked at the meadows.
So naturally i'm not too sure now... also I know I'm gonna get a major lecture from my flatmates too as we've been warned through uni about not going to the meadows.

and like Kit said you could go to the Wednesday EUJS thing... slightly more "early evening" than middle of night... and even indoors

Quiet you, it's sunny enough as it is!
Hope it lasts; soon we can get a nice old outdoor juggling day, maybe even Arthur's seat.

I may, which is why I'm considering it so deeply. I don't know, if my hair is damaged will I lose my personality (have I already?) I think so.
