Hi all
About 2 hours ago I ordered the 3 piece fire staff from HOP and I'm waiting to receive it. I first used a fire staff about 3 years ago, and have since been half-heartedly looking for one for myself. I visited HOP about a year ago and enquired about a staff, then kinda gaveup. Since then I've stood and watched people with fire toys wherever I see them, its mesmarizing
, I could watch it forever. I don't know anyone who plays with fire or twirling toys, so its taken me this long to make the move and buy a staff. 
Name: Tim
Sex: Male
Age: 27
Location: Hamilton, NZ
Sign: https://www.funnysign.com/funnysign_122.htm
Favourite Website: https://www.homeofpoi.com/
- (OK, where's my free T-shirt?)
Favourite Toys: Women (if I had one), my computer, and soon, my fire staff.
Been Twirling for: 1 week if you count a broom stick (staff should arrive in a few days
).
Occupation: Lowly suffering member of society striggling to survive.
Hobbies: Watching movies, sleeping, computer games, sleeping, eating, sleeping, and soon fire twirling.
Music: Umm..
I like most music, depends on my mood, play me something and i'll let you know. I like dance/trance/house music, but I can't dance, so I just listen.
Movies: I like tonnes of movies. Just watched City of God, that was cool.
Books: Just read my 14th book my R.A.Salvator, Drizzt Do'Urden rocks.
Favourite Color: I don't know. I thought it was red, then I thought it was purple, then charcoal black, now I'm back to a very specific shade of warm deep red.
Favourite Quote/Saying: There are tonnes of great sayings, here's one that springs to mind "If you judge people, you have no time to love them" - Mother Teresa
Piercings/Tattoos: None, unless you count all the holes in my arm from donating blood every month.
Cool bannana's. Cheers

Hello Tim
Is it the Truth?
Is it Fair to all concerned?
Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?

I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

It's 2am and I have no idea why I'm still awake, but I just read this funny joke. Here it is:
A man and his wife are in court getting a divorce.
The problem was who should get custody of the child.
The wife jumped up and said:
"Your Honour, I brought the child into the world with pain and labour. the child should be in my custody".
The Judge turns to the husband and says:
"What do you have to say in your defence?"
The man sat for a while contemplating. Then, he slowly rose.
"You're Honour. If I put my money in a vending machine and a Pepsi comes out, whose Pepsi is it - the machine's or mine?"

Cheers
G'night

Dont worry about the residents *glances towards Gnorc, Pounce, Narr and Lightning* you'll get used to them
Anyway, most importantly, do you like the colour pink?

Hey, Pink! Why the glance? Are you implying that my sanity is not up to par? Are you implying that I have a large, furry, mammal clinging to my back? Hey! Why do I have a large, furry mammal clinging to my back? I thought it was a bit warm in here.
*suddenly noticing that he's in a new intro thread*
Oh, my manners! Hi, Tim! Welcome to allrecipes.com!
*scratching head*
No, wait. Welcome to hornyhippos.com!
Nooo, that's not it.
Um...where am I, anyways? Who am I? And why do I have a large, furry mammal on my back?

Well I love Pink Floyd music, and the Pink Panther movies are hilerious, so I think Pink has a lot going for it. Sure, I like Pink.
