Everyone else seems to have an interesting and sparkly intro thread, so I decided that I wanted one too.

So, I'm going to introduce myself to you all, all over again.

You lucky people.



I'm Boo!

Hello wave

I will be your hostess for this thread. So come in, come in. Settle down, you’ll find the couch is squidgy and comfortable.



If you’d like to make yourself at home, here’s a little about me.

(It's not a jumbled list of random stuff, think of it as free-association wink)



I was born in East Anglia in 1975, and went to Uni in Brighton, and then Cambridge/Norwich.

These days I live in Cornwall in a house by a river.

I can't surf...yet



By the way, I am not that kind of doctor, I don't know what that rash is. eek So don't ask me, but for God's sake, keep it covered up.



I learnt to juggle when I was 17. Taught by an amazing, stuffed-Koala-bashing, axe-juggling guy called JP who I went to school with. Unsurprisingly, he seems to have made it pretty big in Australia, as well as at festivals all over the world.

My mates in Cambridge did fire poi, which looked like fun.

I seem to own more poi than I have learnt moves - 4 pairs now (none of them the fire-setting kind) – from fluffy to glowy.

I can now do a behind the head butterfly, and a sort-of 3-beat weave.



I love music - everything from Aerosmith and Bruce Springsteen to Mr Scruff and Lemon Jelly.

I can play the Saxophone and the flute.

I can't dance



I make little figurines of gremlins and wizards out of Fimo.

Pink is very nice.

I give great hugs.

I can’t bear people stealing my oxygen. (You know, when you’re hugging and their head is too close and they’re breathing in and out and it’s like their recycling your air before you get to breathe it…um...you don’t know what I’m talking about? Oh. Nevermind.)



I love Stephen Fry (he once told me I was unique - my claim to fame!!)

Candles are great, so are baths, hugs, and sleeping.

I love films.

I do a bit of photography in my spare time.

I can't watch horror films. I get too scared.



I recently discovered chocolate pizza. It is amazing.



Feel free to pop by and have a lie down on the couch anytime. The Boo is always in. Rather unprofessionally, I also provide pots of tea, scones, and other baked goods for those on my couch. And hugs hug



So…lie back, relax and tell me, what did you want to talk about today? ubbrollsmile

Hmmm....
*strokes chin in pseudo-Freudian manner*
You talk to people who aren't there?
How do you know they're not there?
Do they talk back to you? Are they nice? hug

Here, this will help.

Well, that's a good start - when I was a child my imaginary friend didn't like me. redface

I'm always suprised that, when a child has invisible friends it's cute, but when an adult has them, people think it's psychosis.

Well, this just goes to show that just beacause you can't see something, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

See, I will demonstrate. If I shut my eyes...
*squeezes eyes shut*
I can't see you, so you're not there any more
And then open them
*opens eyes*
you're.....oh....you're still not there.... frown

Think I'm beginning to understand your problem.

Here, have some more tea. hug

As long as the Chinchilla behaves himself, he may sit upon the patient and drink tea.

Cuddle the fluffy animal, Lauz, you'll feel better very soon.
(Although I'm intrigued by how that is related to this Zack and Cody that you speak of. confused)

bounce2 I'm about to go and meet Mags at the Circus Skills Society! bounce

Bit nervous as real people will now see my attempts at poi (as opposed to the "fake" people who've watched me so far - none of whom know anything about poi, and have never watched it before so are stoopidly impressed by my silly twirling!)

Hello.
I'm back
*sits down and gasps for breath*

I'm am sooooo old!

Mags is, as you all guaranteed, lovely. And lots of fun to watch people poi-ing in real life! I even learnt some new moves (so much easier with live people explaining it!) And doesn't fire sound and smell nice....

But I am soooo old!
Are you all young University-type bright young things? I have never felt 10 years older than everyone around me. I can't believe I'm 10 years older than anybody that can actually walk, talk, and has developed cognitive functions...!
Hang on though....students....not sure that they can often walk, talk, or utilize their cognitive processes. wink
Still feel old frown

*hugs the Chinchilla and looks longingly at the empty tea pot* all

Good morning!
Anyone wanna hop onto the couch today?

I have three weeks left before my new job starts, and I'm wasting the days away sitting in front of my laptop doing little that is useful to the world.
So, this morning I went for a run. And now I need some suggestions to fill my day.
Ideas anyone? My brain has atrophied from lack of use, and I can't think for myself any more.
biggrin
