Hipforums UK: Introduce Yourself!

hi i am autumn_jewels, 23 years of age, from a village in north wales. I live in a house owned by my folkes for the meantime. Theyre selling it at some point and Im gonna be moving on again. I studied Creative Arts at the University of Birmingham and was in the gymnastics club there in my first year but despite being asked didnt represent the uni in competition because my years of running round in next to nothing made of lycra ended when i officially stopped competitive gymnastics at 15. I was also in the circus society which i presidented in my final year and organised the uni circus convention for two years which i totally enjoyed doing. i did some circus gigs and sold stuff on ebay for extra cash while studying instead of getting a proper time restricting boring job. i also tried out breakdance at the danceXchange which was great fun and was on tele at artsfest spinning poi one year.

since uni i worked for abit at the uni doing crappy promotions for the new student nightclub on campus. met westwood who actually isnt a prick at all. when hes not being the big tough guy (wanker) for his act, hes actually quite a nice man. i have been to athens to perform with a local circus group called brolly and the people that asked us to go paid for everything so that was sweet! had the time of my life being out there with my then boyfriend in our expenses paid hotel with balcony - whoop. i also worked for 6 weeks with cirque du soleil at star city in birmingham as an usher which was the bestest thing i ever did. my favourite circus company of all time and i was working for them, and at the time also completely in love with my then boyfriend and then one day i was working greeting people outside the bigtop and it started snowing and i dont think i could have been any happier - ever!

i now work in a shop which is doing for the time being. i like my house. its full of pretty things and has an open fire which when it stops fannying around and actually burns is great. my bathroom sink leaks and water came through my ceiling the other day so i cant use that and hafta use the bath taps to wash my hands till i get a plumber in (dont ever say im not random)

i have a dog which lives with my mum called paddington - hes old and gets tired lots but is a beautiful loving golden lion of a labrador. and i have a cat called lenor who really belongs to next door but lives with me because they have a big dog and shes curled up on my sofa sleeping now. shes adorable. she has to go out at night because she's shit and pissed on my floor to many times, but its not her fault, i dont think she was ever house trained, and shes so old so i couldnt get mad at her when she did it. she does go to the front door now though if she wants to go out so you can teach an old cat new tricks to some degree. she is tabby and white and dribbles lots when you stroke her. she follows me everywhere when shes not sleeping and has the sharpest claws known to man (or cat) which she likes digging in me when shes doing that paw-ing thing cats do when theyre happy, but im too soft at heart to stop her coz shes so cute.

music - all sorts...new age, celtic, jazz, mark knopfler, annie lennox, nathalie nahai (check her out - think some of you would like her - etc etc.........also all this indie rock stuff - killers, scissor sisters, keane, snow patrol, razorlight etc......placebo, blink, ozzy osbourne, offspring, bon jovi, my chemical romance, etc......somehow ended up at an r 'n' b night last saturday - that stuff is shite!

hm any questions direct them to me in the karma kafe

 

Hey guys, Kia ora. My name is Rhi (ree) and im actually a Kiwi living and loving the UK. Im a drifter, a traveller. Love filling my life with new experiences, new cultures and people.


I used to be a member on this site years ago in high school but kinda drifted away as you do. But now im back and in good form! Ive been in England for over 6months now. I travel a lot, for now anyway, but did a visual design degree in New Zealand, so i create hand made silver jewellery when i can.

I love all kinds of music, play the guitar, write, draw (mainly in charcoal and pencil) and take photos. I love art, history and religions.

My family are from Wales so i guess im finding my ancestory roots here (i am constantly asked why I am here and not NZ). Love this site and look forward to meeting some like minded people around this end of the world.

 

Hi, i'm Chris and i'm 18.
My karma thread is:
http://hipforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=205438
My msn address is:
cuey@hotmail.co.uk
Add me if you want and i'll talk to you when i'm online. I'm friendly and always up for a laugh!

So I guess I should tell you all a little about myself? Well I work in Internet Marketing. I hate it but the moneys good. Hopefully I will be going to college next year to do a tree surgeon course. It's something I can see myself doing and it's a good source of dependable income.
I live with my dad on a council estate. Growing up I always used to think that when I was older I would be out of council estates as soon as I could but now I kinda like it because everyone knows each other and its really not that bad!
I think that friends are important. I always used to think money was the most important thing in the world but since I started working and paying bills I realised that even when I'm broke, my friends are still there just to chill with.
My interests include music, cars, sport and socialising!

I can't really think of anything else to say so i'll post more on my karma when I think of something!

 

I'm Danielle, been on Hip forums for a few months now.
I'm 29, married, live in South-East England.
I like crafts, reading, watching TV & Movies, listening to music, and spending time online doing non-sensical things. Occasionally, I am known to spend way too many hours playing The Sims2 Pets.
I'm originally from the States but no one seems to hold it against me.
I'm a left-wing, liberal type, but don't like labels really.

This thread has forced me to sign up to MSN so I have a screen name as I've only ever used Yahoo! and that has been infrequently; but now, if you want to chat, you can reach me via evil microsoft's chatting tool instead of evil yahoo's.

And well if you want to read more about me (though i'm not sure why anyone would) you can go to my karma kafe:

Hi geezers and girls. I've literally just found this website and it's fuckin awesome(sorry) if you ave any rules about swearing). Iv just spent like the last 20 minutes looking through the threads and laughing. It's nice to finely meet some lik-minded people.
I'm Little Jack, i'm 18 and I live in England - kent. My dream is to buy and bring back to life a VW van, then go traveling and I gues u can probably figure out everything dat goes wiv it! Not very original but its wot I really wanna do so.....
I've just been job hunting since I got kicked out of Hadlow Horticultural College for growing hemp. I'm always skint and whenever I make twenty quid I spend it on pot.
i'm one rebelious teenager or wot? Lol
Apart from that I love nature, love life and (like any ova teenage geeze) love girls.
If there's any girls out there who have hav a passion for lying in woods and fields stoned off ur trolley on hot summer days then... Lol

ooh j ust checked out the rest of the thread. I'm Ruberx, I live in NeverNeverLand and I munch pills like pasta bits...I chew em up and drink em down with wine. I'm an alcoholic...I eat meat and have hated humus for 21 years. I'm not a hippy. I have dirision for some very good people. I'm scum.

Hello.

 

Hello all my name is Katherine. I'm 19 years old and live in Aberdeen.

I've been absent from these forums for fuck knows how long. I'd guess at a couple years. My departure from the lovely people here is a long winded one but i guess my current state of mind has drawn me back. It helped me through things before so I'm hoping it might do the same again.

I have spent the last few years drifting in and out of reality, getting some things right but more often not. I am only now beginning to rediscover myself, and as a result rediscover what i once loved and was once passionate about.

my msn is on_a_day_like_this@hotmail.com. Feel free to add me but only if your going to be nice, nasty people upset me

welcome westham, and j dilla.

 

Hi-de-hi - I live in Walthamstow, East London, with a drama teacher husband, 2 occasional teenage stepchildren, 8 cats, 2 corn-snakes (not mine) and far too many books. Found this place while searching for vegetarian forums.

 

Hey. I come from South went England. I'm in school, so nothing jobwise to talk about. I enjoy Art, Saxaphone, English and Science. Like Rix I have far too many books, most of which I shall never get round to reading, but hey, buying them is fun. My all time favorites I've read are probably Finger smith and the Vampire Lestat.

 

Hi everyone... I don't know where to start... I used to hang around here ages ago, it was always a place to come to restore my faith in humanity...I was so happy back then. Somewhere along the line my life fell apart and I stopped coming here, I changed for the worse, lost track of what matters.

I realise now just how much this place meant to me, people here taught me important lessons...I've just spent some time browsing through some threads and I have to say, it feels like coming home. I hope some of my old friends are still out there, I got so lost I neglected a lot of people around here...I'm so sorry for that, but I think I understand better now...if anyone remembers me, give me a shout.
