welcome! I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

Oooh Narr I like your new colour!! Your heads a little big tho!
Helloo Alien Welcome aboard good ship HoP. I like blue too...good choice my friend!! Have you been to the lessons and video section yet? Highly recommended for learning thingies. Don't get off-put by some of the lingo the experts use tho, just try and pick up the basics, go with the flow and ask lots of questions in the tech section. There's always someone there to help!
My tip is to relax, sometimes close your eyes to help your brain think about the move, new moves can be accomplished easier sometimes if you try one arm at a time, and the most important peice of advice is have fun no matter how many times you hit yourself in the head or genitals!!
