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.

Let's turn those old bridges we crossed into ashes.
We'll blaze a new trail,
and torch the rough patches.

So, last night, Denise and I did a photo shoot for LIFE Magazine - it was SUPER fun! We shot in Lee's warehouse which is under heavy demo/reconstruction. We spun in front of a giant pile of old wood which was recently ripped down from one of the floors above. The camera guys were cool and after a bit of trouble getting their $5000 camera to focus right, the shoot was on. They did something odd with their flash which turned out to be really cool. They had 2 flash stands set up - one in front and one directly behind us. This gave a really cool back light effect of a bright white glow around us leaving shadows on the ground in front of us. Really intense and glamorous. This was especially effective in some of the fire breathing shots they took of me cuz you can really see the mist and every droplet of fuel in the air. There are one or two breathing shots which are simply amazing and I cant wait to get my copies. I thought I had some good photos before but these are definately top notch. Additionally, I got my hair cut for this shoot into the faux hawk like the pic I just uploaded to my gallery. My hair, outfit, and makeup (just a lil) was all really good thanks to my friend Jackie who acted as our stylist. Denise was just as sexy, if not more so. It took a little while for us all to figure out what kind of poses worked best but in the end we banged it out with something fairly new to us. The photogs really wanted to have US be the focus of the picture and have the fire be kind of just going on around us. This lead to Denise and I using only 1 poi each and spinning while tangled in very dramatic dance poses. Head back, look arrogant, pretend like you dont care about the people watching you... Luckily Im good at that :P Anyway, by the end of the night they had probably about 400 pictures and were satisfied. We packed up, said our goodbyes, and went on our way.
After that, a few of us went to some goth/fetish party and hung out for a bit. I ate some fire while I was there and somehow ended up with something in my eye. I couldnt deal with it there so I left. Got home around 3:30am after driving somewhat intoxicated and with something stuck in my eye and went into the bathroom to try and get it out. After 20 minutes or so, I started to freak out cuz I couldnt get it and it was really starting to hurt bad. I woke my mom up and had her drive me to the ER where I passed out while waiting for 2 hours then yelling and throwing a fit when they called me and my mom tried to wake me up. I dont remember most of the fit but I did wake up on the floor to a security guy threatening to call the cops. Mind you, I was a bit drunk, it was 6am and I had maybe 10 hours of sleep over the previous 3 days. So, since I threw this fit, I ended up not going in to get checked out, but just left instead.... This story is getting a bit long winded I think by now and the rest isnt all that exciting anyway so here is where I'll cut it. I will tell you that my eye is ok now (I think) after seeing a doctor.
But yes... I had an interesting past 20 hours and I just wanted to share.

Hey Mikey!
Rather belatedly, I thought you'd like to see what wasted-looking santas we both made

Though I never thought santa could look like such trouble just by taking his beard off
