Ahh I see. Some groups will be okay with a free first meeting so that people can decide if they want to pay for it or not, which I think makes sense.
I'm going to Barcelona tomorrow for about a week. I'm taking all my toys with me and a bunch of cameras. Who needs a change of clothes anyway? 8D

My mum's already found a juggling store in the handbook she got from the library. xD I might buy some fire stuff! Oooh exciting!

And if I come back to find out you did not go to the meeting I'll.. I'll.. I'll be very cross! Very cross indeed! Dx

Mwahaha. 8D
I'm leaving for the airport in like two hours. Maybe I should finish packing..

Heeeeeeey! I'm back a little bit, though I'll probably disappear again over the weekend. Barcelona was great, though I didn't buy any juggling toys.. I really wanted to buy a pair of ribbon poi but I didn't find any I really liked enough, and I didn't find any firestix either. I'm probably just going to buy some clubs when I get back to London since they take up a lot of space in packing.. I tried them for the second time yesterday at practice, it was fun! Still only doing two but I'm getting okay at that so hopefully I can add the third one soon. : D

How have you guys been?

Sorry to hear you've been stressed, I hope it hasn't been too bad.. having a lot to do is better than having nothing to do though! I've hardly had time for the internet the past week or so, but I've been busy having fun, so it's all good.
What's wrong with your eye? And when do you leave for college again? (I'm sure I've asked this before, sorry..)

Oof. Hope it's nothing serious or anything. >.o And that the babysitting job goes well - how old are the kids?
Sounds like your mum really cares for you. It's good to have a good relationship with your parents, I keep appreciating mine more and more. And they keep helping me out financially while I'm at uni as well.
Buhh just got back from circus practice, there was just one other person there and her kid, so we just stayed for maybe 40 mins and then left. I was feeling so tired too, been really lazy all day.. now I'm just exhausted, think I'm just gonna watch something and then go to sleep early for once.. maybe I can then go to the library early tomorrow to work on my essay before my weekend starts. : D

I just bought a shiny shiny staff today! :D So much fun spinning it around! Tried it for the first time this summer but then not again till last week when one of the guys at one of the juggling meetings I went to had one, and I asked to try it. He showed me a couple more tricks and now I'm just dying to know more.
On another meeting last week, there were these two guys teaching a few of us some tricks with three balls - they're hard rubber balls that are great for juggling but can also be used for contact, and the tricks they taught us were a mixture of contact and juggling, very cool. I bought three acryllic contact balls, but I really should've gotten the other type to do both with.. though playing with multiball is also very fun.

Uhh yeah, I'm just going insane getting new toys and trying new things. :D

Have you checked whether the school has a juggling society or club? My uni has lots of societies and I'm sure that I actually saw an ad for the juggling society when I first joined two years ago, I just hadn't started juggling then so I didn't join. I remember thinking it would be fun though.. I'm going to try to find out whether it's still going and join if it is, would be good getting to know more people at uni, especially since I just moved a lot further away from it.

Haha, that would be bad. I love the glittery bouncing balls though! My friend has one, I could stare at it for hours, I swear.. xD

So far, I think staff and contact jugging are my absolute favourites to play with. Oh, one of the managers at the pub I live above told us the other day that he and another manager also juggle! He does three balls and also unicycling, I can't remember what the other one does.. but he wants us to teach him more things and also he wants to arrange regular juggling nights! He's even asked us to spin some fire for their Halloween party, might even be able to pay us a bit for it, which would be awesome! :D I am so in love with this place..
