Hi all... I am a complete newbie to poi, fire twirling and anything/everything related. In fact, I'll only even see it in real life for the 1st time next Friday (making it down to the Moon Fest on north side of Brissie).



Anyway, this is me...





Name: Pat... but Pogo to those that know me well.



Location: Logan City, south of Brisbane, QLD, Oz.



Hometown: As above.



DOB: 17/09/1969



Age: 36 and counting...



Sex: Wouldn't that be nice?



Occupation(s): Computer Programmer. Worked for myself from home for 2 1/2 years, but have recently had to get a "real" job.



Favorite Food(s): Hmmm... pretty much anything, really.



Favorite Color(s): Green



Toys: Acoustic guitar, Classical guitar, 3 electric guitars, 2 djembes.



Hobbies other than the obvious: Music, Reading, Keeping fit (hmmm, not so much of the keeping fit, actually)



Education: Did Bachelor of Science majoring in Computer Science and Pure Maths. Then Grad Dip Appl Computing... then started a research masters, but gave it away when life got in the way.



Favorite Book(s): Have to get back to you on that one... The Anarchist was the last book I read, quite liked it.



Favorite Movie(s): Lots... Fight Club, Snatch, Lock Stock..., Finding Nemo, Pulp Fiction, Pay It Forward...



Favorite TV show(s): Don't watch tv.



Plans for life in general: (i.e. what you want to do when you grow up) I really... wish... I knew.



Favorite Music Artists/Composers: Lately... Xavier Rudd, Jack Johnson, JBT, Blue King Brown, Donavon Frankeneiter, Rob Sawyer, The Waifs... blues/roots stuff.



Favorie ice cream flavor(s): Vanilla.



Marmite, Vegemite, or Nutella? (please choose one...this is important as it is essentially this site's equivalent of stating your religion...we have religious wars, crusades, cathedrals to Nutella, all that.)



Definitely... vegemite.

how's ya, gidg? I finally got the laptop going at home, so hopefully you'll be able to see a lil bit more of the "virtual" bek from time to time... it's still being a bit finicky, so it depends rather a lot on her levels of patience...

You have seen many places in the world!
Now - which of all these cities was the best?
He said: "The city where my sweetheart lives!"
