Ranting, yay!
Hey there, me again!

So far I'm having no success in finding decent tubing and although I'm far from giving up (hooping is just too beautiful to stop!), I'm getting really frustrated. I mean, there has to be some way to get a hoop here in Germany! Or at least that damn tubing.

Today I went to the library to give back two drawing books - and one of it was one of those that weigh at least 6 pounds. I thought my arms'd dangle below my knees by the end of the day, it was SO heavy!

Anyway, I also borrowed (do you say that in English? When you take books or something from your library?) some CDs - Sugababes, Savage Garden, Jamiroquai, Dream Dance 20&27 (Dream House and Trance, that is) and one BRAVO. Not all my personal favourites, but i was searching for something with good beats for hooping. And, to my huge surprise, I adore the Sugababes CD o_O! "Follow me home" is awesome for hooping, gotta love it.

So I spent about two hours or such out on the terrace and hooped. Waist hooping feels like the most natural thing now and I love closing my eyes and just feeling the hoop spin. And yesterday it helped me when I had a stomach ache. Weeeh! My new magic bullet! XD

Anyway, I spent most of the time practising the lift. I can do it almost now, counter-clockwise with the right hand. It's still impossible to me the other way round, but I'll manage, I guess. Getting it down from above my head is easier and I can do it both ways. Oh well.

But I think I've gotten a blister on my pinky ;____; That's gonna hurt like hell tomorrow, doing the paper round. Grrr.

Concerning my fanfics, I'm working on a Bartimaeus fic, a small oneshot. Featuring hooping XD Bartimaeus is having a day off and a girl somehow gets him into hooping and he takes one hoop with him and has fun annoying the hell out of Nathaniel with it. Nothing great, but I like it. Oh, and "Air supply", a Bartimaeus/Ptolemy fic. My favourite dialogue?
"You don't like to kiss?" - "How am I supposed to know? It's just that for the life of me I can't figure out how cutting off each other's air supply works as a sign of affection for you humans." Mwaha.
Oh, and I'm struggling to finally complete chapter 4 of Scraps of Gold - it's been pretty much done for ages, but I'm having lots of trouble with one particular scene. It's so annoying! If any of my readers reads this, please accept my deepest apologies and have a cookie! *hands out cookies*

Well, have to go - love y'all!
