Hi, I'm brand spanking new to HOP, never even new it existed until I stumbled upon it recently. Only just starting to get my sea legs as far as the technology thing goes. Just typed poi into a search engine and BAM, Here I am. And right glad I am too. Been spinning for years on and off, started in South Africa and the enthusiasm kinda waned once I got to the UK and refused to leave the warmth of indoors for months. Years later I am regaining my passion and learnig to accept that 26 degrees celcius is warm.
Think Hop is amazing, looking forward to learning and living and loving and growing.

I've only ever had one store-bought burger that was worthy of legend. I used to get one every Friday. It was huge, and teh sauce was amazing. I used to bug them every weekend to twll me what it was, but they never would..and i can t for the life of me figure it out. It's almost 10 years later and I still remember how good those burgers were

mmmm...not a big fan of nachos myself.
Note to everyone: If your mother is in another country, DONT WAIT TILL THE DAY BEFORE HER BIRTHDAY TO TRY AND ORGANISE A GIFT...unlesss you have a grandmother who works in a flower store in said country and they've finally got a pdq machine so you can pay over the phone(unheard of in the 3rd world)

It's costing me an arm and a leg though...The shop my grandmother works in is expensive! My mom is worth it though "I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty, every day,and if you can source your own life from its presence.." - Oriah Mountain Dreamer

yes thank you...although the first hour of awakeness was very hectic. I left for work on time this morning (
)and bumped into loads of people that I knew. It was quite weird...especially as I was still half asleep! "I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty, every day,and if you can source your own life from its presence.." - Oriah Mountain Dreamer

No you don't we don't believe you
it's a fib.... a fib I tells ya.
hello oh.. I know something you don't know
it's not very interesting though 
A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

Don't care if you don't believe me
I'ts not about you anyway...but it is about someone you know......it's gossip, but 100% true and someone's ego is at stake...juiciness rating is moderately high...but you'd have to wait till I am to get it out of me These lips ait spilling..I made a promise.... *head explodes* "I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty, every day,and if you can source your own life from its presence.." - Oriah Mountain Dreamer

she wants to tell or she wouldn't have told us
