Hello

wavehello



hmmmmmm what to write about me as an intro.....damn its make or break time. First impressions are so vital. Oooooo the pressure.



I'm living in South Wales but originate from Essex (No I don't own White stillettos and No I'm not an Essex girl!). I don't bite, I do pinch, I love chocolate and I one day plan on learning lots of stuff I can't do yet.



Hobbies:- include juggling, balls juggleand clubs , Diablo, poi, doodling, music, hating housework (dust is natures way of showing what the burglars have stolen), making things, pulling things to bits (mainly to see how they work) , embarrassing my nieces and nephews (great fun hobbie that all aunties should take up), hugging trees and talking to bees (watch out for the squirrels......they ARE out to get you!)



Ambitions:- Never to grow up. Learn how to burn things safely ubbangel To that ends learning how to poi without stunning myself, blacking my eye or turning myself into a human torch. Learn to play more than one tune on the guitar. Rule the World. Learn to Surf. Conquer my fear of heights. Travel the world in a van with a man named Bob ("why Bob?" you ask...well why not Bob? I'm sure there are loads of nice men called Bob out there! Simons and Johns need not apply).



Boring stuff:- work in sales to pay the bills.

Well amazingly today it only rained part of the day! So I got to poi outside....yayness! I learned to reverse a 3 beat weave and 180 and 360 weave turn thingies (thingies being a very technical term that one day I will spend many hours explaining to you, probably when I'm drunk) I also learned some more variations of the butterfly which was cool. So all in all its been another yayness day! I'm going to be eagerly sitting by the letterbox tomorrow morning waiting on delivery of my nieces birthday present.....yes I know I only placed the order yesterday but I'm excited!!

I hope everyone else had a yayness day today too! If you didn't heres a hug for you so some of my yayness can rub off on you.

My sister reminded me today of the ten second rule....... I wish she hadn't!

ah well.... you know when you are a kid, you don't think twice about dropping food.....say, a sweet, on the floor and picking it up and popping it in your mouth? Well the ten second rule is the adult kind of reasoning that says you will be ok. If the sweet falls to the floor but you pick it up within 10 seconds you can still eat it....Blagh. I guess as kids we ate loads of things we had dropped and it did us no harm.
Yesterday for some reason when my niece dropped a cashew nut into the foot well of the car and then picked it up and ate it, I cringed. My sister laughed and cried out "The ten second rule applies!" We then had to explain the ten second rule to my niece who quite rightly said "bugger the ten second rule if it falls in dog muck!" That image of a nut crowning the top of a lump of dog [censored], like a cherry on a cup cake, stayed with me the rest of the day. Hence I wish my sister hadn't reminded me of the ten second rule.

Do you think that counts only for kids? confused

What is psychology?- Looking for a black cat in a dark room. What is psychoanalysis? Psychoanalysis is looking for a black cat in a dark room -- in which there is no cat -- but finding one anyway.

Sitting by the letter box worked! My niece, Hannah's Balls-u-like rainbow glo poi from Firetoys came today!!! YAY YAY YAY! I was so excited I took them straight over to show her, even though her birthday isn't until the 4th sept. She loves them. As for the comment that someone made on here about them smelling nice......hmmm maybe....if you like the smell of burnt rubber! ubblol She was hiding in the understairs cupboard to see how they looked in the dark. Then she went out in the garden and twirled them all afternoon. Amongst many cries of ouch (not the actual word she used) she kept on saying "Ooooooh these are SO cool!". I'm guessing I got the right ones.
She and I are thinking about joining the circus lessons in Swansea. The guy that organises it, Ben has emailed me that they need supervisors and it doesn't matter if they have no circus skills (that will be me then), and Hannah is young enough to join. I'm thinking its a good way to meet some more spinners. The only problem I see with this plan is I shout and swear at my poi all the time when I'm bashing myself. Not really what you should do when you are trying to help lil Johnny attempt a weave. Imagine if he goes home and screams "[censored]!" infront of an aged granny and when asked where he learned such language he said "Circus school granny. Why?" So to this end, Hannah and I came up with the screams of cheese as an alternative to swearing. It goes like this:-

Caerphilly = a small tangle or the poi lightly knocks into you. (its a weak bland cheese)

Red Leicester = a slightly harder collision with poi or the string wraps around you a little (some what stronger flavoured cheese but still a bit wimpy)

Cheddar = the average thump on the head, back, or legs (bog standard cheese nice flavour)

Stilton = the poi hits you hard enough to leave a bruise or wraps your throat, wrists or head in its cord/chain (strong flavoured cheese with green bits..not to everyones taste)

Gorgonzola = the poi seriously damages you and people near by might want to call for first aid to come and look at you (damn strong taste and the fumes of it can over come you if you eat it in a confined space)

So you would use these words like so "if these stiltoning poi do that again I'm cheddaringly going to cut them up and stamp on their gorgonzolaing parts!" or "It's ok! I'm fine it was a minor red leicester."

Maybe not huh? Maybe I'll just have to bite my tongue.

Hope you are all having a yayness day!
hug weavesmiley

ubblol dub, I'll Tell my sister to lower the limit to 3 seconds. Don't want to be unhygenic now do we! ubblol

Today I tried to find a driving instructor. I looked in the yellow pages....there were squillions of them! How do you pick one? I need one that's unshakeable and does not fear death! I have this small problem redface....... once I get above a certain speed I can't judge distances. This is why I spend most of my time, when being driven by someone else, with my knuckles white and fingers clamped tightly to the dash board. Everytime they overtake I think we will hit whatever is oncoming, even if its a mile away. So my question for today is, how did you pick your driving instructor?

Oooooooooooooooo! Yaynesses! I have an underwater upgrade!!!! hug dub hug

C@ntus, I can over look the Bob bit as long as your name's not John or Simon. Oh and you might have to teach me to drive first too. hug I saw a Huge RV thing the other day. I swear it was bigger than my house! I think having one of those would make you the most hated traveller to turn up in India, so I'm looking for something smaller.... maybe a VW or something converted from a horse box....... hmmmm not sure, maybe that would smell forever more of ponies.

ubblol My bad habit is I panic and cover my eyes. I have tried to learn to drive before. It didn't go well, hence I don't have a driving licence yet. I can't judge distances when at speed. I'm scary enough on a pedal bike.

Gidg I think you will find there is a good reason we English drive on the left hand side of the road. Its so, when we are fighting the lowly lord from the next village down the valley, we can have our lance/sword in our right hand as we charge down the road to get them! (it happens a lot in modern day Britain) ubblol

The reason the americans drive on the other side of the road is that when they claimed independance from Britain in 17 mumble mumble... they decided that they wanted to have absolutely nothing to do with England including which side of the road they drive on.



There were moves to have a completely different language but they couldn't decide what language it could be and ultimately decided that it was a daft idea and went of to wait for the invention of hotdog stands and drive-by shootings instead.

So C@ntus is there a reason you don't drive? Or should I say don't have a licence.

A relative of mine (mentioning no names) drove for, I think it was 2 years-ish with no licence. She had L plates on her car and she used to put a big Fluffy Teddybear in clothes and a hat and sit it in the passenger seat as her co driver. She was never caught. Admittedly she lived out in the wooly wilds and never saw a police man from one year to the next. She probably hardly ever saw any other cars ubblol

Children I don't advise you do this at home. Its not big and its not clever!

I had driving lessons when i was 18 but they were getting expensive and i didn't like having to phone the driving instructor guy up to arrange new lessons so I kind of stopped.



and now it's mumble mumble years later and i still haven't got round to it.

And to get down to canterbury the other day i used National Express which was not only cheap but uncomfortable and unfriendly to boot.

so that was good.
