well hello people, i finally decided to join the home of poi community after three years of spinning. It has taken me this long not because i am unfriendly but because i am a complete technophobe (hence my favourite hobby being swinging things round inside socks!). I have just moved to south london from bristol and have decided to join the 21st century in an attempt to meet people to spin with. So here's a little more about me using doc lightnings sample:
Name: Jess
Location: SW London
Hometown: Penzance
DOB: 7/11/82
Age: 22
Occupation: currently seeking employment
Sex: Female
Favourite Foods: steak, chinese
Favouite colour: black
Toys: sock poi, fire poi, sewing machine
Hobbies: dressmaking
Education: completed law and sociology degree at bristol uwe
Favourite books: so many including all by Terry Pratchett and Thomas Harris (Hanibal Lecter books)
Favourite Films: Human Traffic, American Beauty, Fight Club and anything with Audrey Hepburn
Favourite TV show: Buffy
Plans for life in General: Get to know
london some more, find a job, meet people to spin poi with and then take the fashion industry by storm!
Favourite Music Artists: Always a difficult one cos I like everything from Jungle to Ragga to Dub to Dancehall to Folk to Rock to Blues to Soul to Electronica to R'n'B to Rap.. the list goes on and on. Really depends what mood I'm in.
Favourite ice cream flavour: caramel/toffy, anything sweet with cheewey bits in.
And Finally hmm, dificult choice but i'd have to go with Nutella (marmite is good but blah to Vegemite)
So after that little essay i will love you all and leave you, till next time byeee

Hello, welcome to HoP!!
My state of mind is not yours to define!
There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

well hello again people, have not been on the site for a while, got a little scared of computers again but am now fully committed to confronting my fears! So a little update, have moved to NE London and have still not made it to clapham common, are the meets still going? Did go to Spitz a few times but have not been for a while as a reached one of those plateaux where you feel you are not learning anything new and in fact may be going backwards
Anyway, picked the fire poi up a couple of months ago for the first time in over a year and am loving it again yay 
Actually even did a performance for a friends club night which was great even though there was an unfortunate incident with a security guard and a fire extinguisher, oh dear! So, am looking for a place to meet up with people and play with fire, know its late in the season and winter is approaching fast but it's not here yet, advise me people ...
