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.

hmm, i guess the line of logic that led to the 'weighing that of a duck' train of thought supports weighing less than a duck aswell.. sorted, hes a witch... or possibly some kind of superwitch

shame I like poisonous snakes, they give life a bit of an edge
and yes we do have poisonous snakes in Dorset the adder although it's a protected species along with all the other british snakes.
I need ideas for decorating the site, festivally but not expensive. oh and bring a swimming costume because we are right by the beach

no...looks more like I tried to cut it myself. I'm probably over-reacting, it will grow out fine.

I hate to say it though, but you did trust a lesbian
Your hair looks fine. Give it a few weeks and it will be perfect. Its not even that short. Colourful but not very bright.

Mines a trim Mynci.. A TRIM!!!!
The top layer is a long bob and the bottom layer is a couple inches longer! She wanted to cut the bottom layer more but I told her it was time to stop cutting:p Although it's long enough to put in a ponytail, I can't because it's a chunky cut and makes the tail go *boof* I know I know it will grow into it...but a few weeks is too long. If it doesn't grow into itself I'm cutting it short again.

no, believe me it's a stupid haircut. I cant change it eaither as I got a family member to cut it...my own stupid fault. She's cut it loads before and it was fine, but this time I REALLY don't like it.

Oh dear
I know what its like to have a hair cut which you don't like, its horrible, but really, it will be fine in 2 weeks and if it isn't pay for someone to fix it xxx Colourful but not very bright.
