Hmm, hope this thread isn't completely forgotten. I've been to three circus practices so far, and I love it! Though they're all doing acrobatic stuff, and although they've got complete beginners there too, I really don't want to risk doing much, since I sprained my back a couple of weeks ago and it looks like it's still not completely healed, and I fractured my ankle in February, so I really don't want to twist it by jumping around much. Last night two of the girls actually hurt themselves - one was jumping on a trampoline and landed weirdly on her knee and was in really severe pain (though she refused to admit it), and the other one twisted her ankle just walking on one of the thick mattresses and thinks it might be sprained.. so I'm definitely not doing any acro stuff just yet. D: Dying to try it though, so I will do as soon as I can, though that might not be till next summer.

It is! And the people are just amazingly lovely. Though I'm missing out a lot on the mixing in and socialising by not being able to participate in the acro.. I'm just standing somewhere on my own, watching and juggling. *loser*
But yeah.. I've recently started doing sit-ups and push-ups again to strengthen my back - couldn't do them when it was at its worst - so hopefully it'll be good soon.. dunno about the ankle though, I've heard it can take about a year for it to get really strong again.. but I'm going to try to remember to take calcium and stuff in the mornings, hopefully that'll help. I'm terrible at remembering stuff like that though, I'm just hoping I can get into a routine somehow.. difficult though, since my mornings are so random. And my days in general. I am not a big fan of order. 8D

How have you been?

Can't you just make your life more random? Seek out random people to hang out with, you'll be amazed at how quickly your own life will change. : D And thanks!
Haha, sounds like fun.. why did you have to get your eyes dilated? I have abnormally dilated pupils, people keep asking what I've been snorting. e_____e

Ahh I know that problem. I moved to another country for uni a couple of years ago and it was definitely the best thing I've ever done. My life has become so much better in such a short amount of time, it's incredible! And so much more random. : D
The thing to do is just to be really random, so that people never know what to expect! I think I am that a bit anyway, so people around me have stopped being surprised when I do something completely different from what I "usually" do. I mean.. I change my gender definition periodically, so I guess if they're used to that, they can get used to anything, haha.

Oh, come on. Everyone has that excuse, that there's nothing to do that isn't really expensive. This is a universal problem, and it's never true. Sure, in some places it's easier to find things maybe, and some places are cheaper than others, but still. You can always just meet up with people and go out for a walk, go to a park (and juggle!), go swimming.. I dunno, whatever catches your interests. I have no money either, but I'm never bored!

Ah I see. Of course you need other people who are ready to do inexpensive stuff with you.. When are you leaving? And are you going far? A new start is always the best thing when you feel like you're stuck in some way. :)

I can't say I see the hilarity.. I've broken my ankle and it's anything but fun. :/

Haha, once a week isn't bad. Though I pretty much never talk to my parents while I'm in London.. occasionally I'll say hi to my mum on facebook and ask if there's any news, and I'll contact them when I need money (>.>) or if there are any issues I need help with or whatever. But calling her? Not even once a month...
Exciting for you though! I hope everything goes well! And with any luck, you'll find some jugglers there to make friends with, they are always the best people. ;)

Ahh I wish I was more flexible sometimes too.

Starr, hopefully your dad will be fine with it, and if you're updating on facebook it should be fine, really. You'll be busy enjoying yourself anyway. :) How many roommates will you have? Is it university or..?

Ooh, cool. I haven't heard of it, but then I don't know much about the States in general, so it's no wonder. Art school though, there's bound to be interesting people there! : D I love being on an art course.. both because I'm not a big fan of academia and because the people there are so much more interesting, as well as our campus. I go to the main campus, which is all academic stuff, and it's so boring.. the people and the place itself. I would die inside if I had to go there every day..

Yeah, I'm the same.. I can easily get interested in just about anything, but that also means I keep getting interested in new things, and academic things rarely hold my interest for long enough so that I want to pursue them seriously. I'd love to take classes on random things, not for a degree, just to learn, and not have to actually sit an exam or anything like that. Just sit there and listen and learn, for fun. P:
Art is much more flexible, you're allowed to change your mind and go in different directions with it. So much more freedom!

I've made a juggling thread for the Feast of Fools event! Thought I'd link to it here: Click. Come and chat with us! :)
