Hi everyone!
Dixie! How's your foot dude?
Fireboy: hello! nice to meet you Are u gonna see the chilies this summer? I really want to!
FRD: I think you should go ahead and hoop at school, if the kids laugh at you it's because they will never understand the pure innocent joy of hooping... they will lead sad destitute lives and die unhappy and unfulfilled. So there.
Oli!! Hello I miss Sim's coat! it was so warm!
Hi Star! How are you babe? thanks so uch for the hooping lessons, i think i'm addicted
P.S: Marmite! eugh!

Glowing hoop! ooooh! pretty! It's cool, my bruise has gone down so I'm back to full-power wiggling 
Linden, I'm afraid your case carries a very poor prognosis, however, there is a cure. You MUST attend several juggling meets this summer, paying particular attention at Play, regularly and as often as possible. You may suffer some side effects, including finding that you have become addicted to shouing out other silly things at people, and that you have developed a chronic aversion to work and any non-spinning/juggling activity.
Eilidh! Hello gorgeous! I got the video!
When are u free for lunch? Mua!
