Sparkly new intro... (not that I'm bored and have to wait for my afternoon practical or anything)
I'm still Why
Now 24 (almost 1/4 century... yay me)
Over in Glasgow, officially, but can't help but visit Ed lots.
Eternal student, new degree in a new city (another 4 years to go)
Toy of choice: Staff - not good, but not useless... Don't practice much, but like to think I am getting good at teaching beginners' stuff
Other toys: Really interested (= not good, but now own one) in whips, bit of poi (well I can manage that one indoors), contact people (hugs, snuggling, non-serious acro).
Current fun move/working on: Why do I ask myself silly questions?
staff: 1-beats in stupid hand positions and places, fishtails (my left hand WILL get it eventually) and fishy transfers, elbow to wrist rolls, elbow pops, random stupid stall-y, devilsticky things... etc...
doubles: still only just starting out... looking for fluidity before thinking too much about "tricks"
whips: (I have no idea of terminology... so shall make things up the now:) still can't do a bloody simple over arm crack!, horizontal lasso cracks, low level multi cracks (4-5 indoors when I had a big corridor, 3 on grass), fun transition from low level to high... (3 low, 2 high with extra loud last high), wiggly multi-cracks
poi: (not really looked up terminology again) butterfly variations... kinda butterfly weave thing, between legs stuff, stalls, isolations, cleaning up 3 and 5 bt weaves, btb backwards weave (and eventually forwards...), trying to get head around airwraps still too
people: much hugging practice... still my total favourite move
, and a few silly acro games with silly people :o)
Been to any gatherings? (mon) Ed fire nights until recently (uni started back), glasgow juggling (weds) and sometimes glas fire (fridays), Uberstaff, oooh went to my 1st EJC... was ace
, hope to go to a few more convention type things...
hoping for Play, EJC, uberstaff, (mebbe even uberpoi!), who knows...
run out of time/self-questions
----------
Old me intro:
So since all, or enough of, the EUJS-er's have worked out who I am, I guess I should try being official about things
who?: why
you what?: "why"
Go by anything else?: Mike, Mikey, Mickey (the mouse-man), and a number of others including the ever popular "oi you!" (and am NOT BELINDA
)
age?: 22
sex?: male
located?: scotland currently, Edinburgh to be precise... studying at uni, originally hail from further south in the UK though
doing what?: I told you... student
play with?: staff... and very recently started the joy of poi... though I don't get a chance to play with either too much
any questions, just shout

"It's torture the english is sooo bad."
And that a comment from a computer scienctist. My god, my body feels like its on the afterburn of a severe fever, I can see everything extra bright and my skin is a different colour.
Phew. No red-bull equivalent left, only IRN-BRU and diet coke to sustain my 28 hours with 30 minutes of sleep marathon. Damn circadian rhythms for forcing that 30 minutes of sleep.
Perhaps I am composed entirely of caffiene?
I have a robot that picks up fake eggs the equivalent size of elephants and hava removed all hope of sanity restoration and sleep from my psyche.
I love badgers. I have a badger on the robot. This may have been mentioned in a previous post.
There is a website where people do PK with wheelbarrows. I'll leave it as an exersize for the reader to find it.
I think I might go set myself on fire.
I even managed elbow wraps with a plank last night.
right.

I now hate RCXLNPadressingport, damn thing never said it was an unreliabably protocol Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Plus, this happens very rarely, but I dislike Sandy.
48 hours! 3 1/2 hours of sleep! Whoever you were that buzzed the door after the first 2 hours: waking me to a shiverrriing wreck of caffiene withdrawal and not allowing me to get back to sleep, I'm going to hunt you down and shove wet finger-puppet badgers down your throat till you plead for me to stop. Or possibly watch you eat an onion.

that way if you feel like torturing more... you could always say that (s)he didn't annunciate themselves well enough for you to work out that they wanted you to stop
but then again you might hit a gag reflex... which may not be pretty....
Is it still being silly, then?
you could try kicking it
