Well, I came in here to check on all the wonderful things people have been saying about me in my intro thread over the past 3 years... Then I realized I didnt have an intro thread. Why has no one made one for me so as to put nice things about me in it???
Ah well, since Im here now, I guess Ill make one!
Lets see here... Who am I?
Im 22. I live in Philadelphia. I like cheeseburgers. I like them even more with bacon. I like to dance. I like to roller skate. I like to dance on roller skates. Im lazy. In fact, Im the laziest SoB Ive ever met and Ive met some really REALLY lazy people. I want to perform for a living but Im so lazy it will never happen. I want to visit Europe and spin with all the awesome people Ive made the acquaintence of through HoP more than anything. Im a poi geek. One of the biggest. Before that, I was a computer geek but luckily Ive moved on (or did I
) . I get hit on by more men than women and thats unfortunate because Im too shy to hit on women. I have a thing for redheads. I have a thing for small boobs. I need to change the subject before this gets ugly... I dropped out of college twice and I might go back! (though, only for the small breasted redheaded coeds) ::cough:: I dont like being at my house. Id rather live in a tent. I might just do it! Ill wait to see how Burning Man goes first though 
In addition to poi, I can juggle. I can spin staff. I can eat and breathe fire. I can hula hoop (somewhat). Im still working on doing all of that at once... One day... Im tired of spouting random facts about myself. I think Ill stop. Yes. Ill stop now.
Now that I have an intro thread get with the nice comments will ya! I need to feel the love after 3 lonely introless years.

Im just as honored to have you as my first, UCoF! Was it as good for you as it was me?
Thanks for the burgers Snoop. They were tasty indeed. I gotta be honest though... I was a little disappointed by the lack of bacon.
Dont feel bad, Aimee. Its a comon misconception. And for the record I have no problem with big breasted blondes, full figured brunettes, or just about anyone with boobs and hair for that matter
And speaking of small breasted redheads... How ya been, Molly? I actually do have a slightly bigger stick now that youre here 
. (Dont kill me NYC!) Oh, you meant a bigger staff? Yep, got a bigger one of those too. Its probably around 40 inches with 8 inches of wick on either end. It breaks down into 5 pieces too. Was a very nice gift from a friend. As for coming to EJC, I dont quite remember promising (though, perhaps I did?) but I will do everything in my power to try and make it. Either that or Uberpoi II (doubt I could make both unless they're within the same month).
And to the wee mouse - Of course you can come to Burning Man. However, you better get crackin on some event and plane tickets cuz theres only a month left!
Lightning! :
Theres some lumps for you. Oi... Reading that made me even more reluctant about going to the doctors. "Drop your pants for me... Ok, now turn your head and thrust.."

If you spent more time here than on Tribe.net, there would be half as many posts over there.
You going to Burning Man this year? Join us at the HoP gathering.

A redhead who feeds me burgers and bacon... And gorgeous to boot. I think I found heaven!
Heh. I spend plenty of time here. All I do when Im at home is sit on my PC switching between HoP and Tribe. "Oh, someone replied to my post in the Art of Poi tribe... ::reply:: Hrm, nothing new now, lets see whats on HoP... Silly Rev, up to his antics again ::reply:: Ugh, all the lightbulbs are off again... Hrm, wonder if anyone has posted to Tribe in the past 2 minutes..."

Oh and yes, Im about 99% sure Im going to BM. Where and when is the HoP gathering? Hell, the conclave is supposed to be full of awesome spinners this year, Im sure everyone will be there watching if not performing.
Speaking of which, the Pyronauts conclave group is supposed to have the best spinners but I hadda drop out and be in the Playa Del Fuego group. If you really wanna see some good performance, come see us instead

Well just thought I'd say hello Mr Icon
I've followed your spinning since I saw the first cut of dynamik Dysfunktion (or however you spelt it) - the one without the titles?
Would be cool to meet up someday, Uberpoi II sounds like a pretty darned good place for that to happen, although that'll probably not be for years
Anyway, pleased to make your aquaintance

American? When did that happen?
Screw Burning Man. Im going this year but dont really plan to make it a thing. Im only going cuz I got a free ticket (or at least I hope Im getting one). There are much better and cheaper festivals out there for spinners like us. Burning Man is too big and based more around the community/camp thing for me. I like the smaller fire focused events... Then again, I havent been to Burning Man yet so my view may change soon. But from what I hear, we could both be at BM for a week and never see each other... Doesnt sound like my idea of a good time.

Well, I'm planning to head out east sometime anyway. It's a bit below Thailand and Cali/nevada on the priority-meter though.
There are a load of gs.cers from philly and in NYC, and I expect to chill with the "old man" there within a year or two and have him introduce me to the spinning crowd there. We'll see.

Ahh. Just got back from a nice weekend in NY. Went to an fire circle gathering in the Catskills which was rather... odd... to be honest (wayyy too out there). Not worth the 55$ I spent on the ticket + 40$ for gas to get there and back but it was surely an experience that wont soon be forgotten. Then I got to hang out with my friends in NY city for the rest of the time. We went to the "festivus" in Battery Park which was cool except I was entirely too tired to really enjoy it. We ended up skipping the after party too since we were all pretty beat. I guess the weekend didnt go as I had hoped... However, the friends I was with made it totally worth the while. Now Im back to work and it sucks... BUT I found out on Friday that my free ticket to Burning Man was APPROVED so Im totally going. Only 1 month to go!
