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.

Hope you all had a good NYE. I'm suffering immensely from mine, but it was well worth it.
Mynci- It took about 4 weeks for me to be without pain, about 2 weeks till I could walk properly and stand up by myself. (Thats going every two days) The first couple of sessions bring pain and dont seem to help much, but the third one loosened me right up.
Hope it all goes ok for you buddy.
Lots of love to all.

Mynci..you know I'm in dude, bring on details when you have some.
Bubbles!!!
You have spoken to me in person Matty...twice! Stress levels are rising quite fast now actually. The need to find somwhere to live is very much more real now, but made difficult by the fact that apparently people only look for somewhere new to live two weeks prior to moving. I don't have that option, I'll be away, and it's a lot of pressure to put on Lee to choose somewhere..I am not easy to please. Bugger....

Hiya Len! We have to move as the landlord wants to carry out some extensive building work on our house. The bathroom had dry-rot (which we told them about last april!), but in all fairness, the house needs a lot of work.
*sniff*Bubbles!!! What what??!! Whats going on

Most would say contorted, but different strokes... I doubt it dude, as we are moving (again!) the pennies are being saved... we're only going to a few small things this year cashwize, and loads of free parties.

My housemate Mark proposed to his girlfriend Cindy on New Years day, they'll be getting married next year in the summer. He's the first of my mates to do it. It's sooooo sweet.
I've never been to a wedding, I'm well excited. "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
