Hey, I'm Lolly, and I'm....an alcoholic. Ok, so that joke is well overdone... Anyhoo, I'm pretty much a beginner, and a total newbie here. Hoping to make some new friends and get some good tips

Got my heart set on being able to spin fire poi asap...



Aaaaand having seen another post which makes me think my intro was simply not detailed enough, here's some extra info which no one really wants to know:



My name is Lauren, or Lolly, or XS, I'm 21, and currently making the rather painful transition from student life into the real world. I live in the north east of the UK, and I'm not all that happy about it. I plan to travel to Japan at some point, preferably sooner than later. I love learning about Japanese culture, and also have a great interest in Japanese cinema.



Being a *former* media studies student, I'm also interested in most forms of media. A common misconception about media studies students is that we're all money-hungry sensationalists with no morals. Personally, I hate most aspects of the mainstream media, and disagree strongly with the ethics (or rather lack of) employed within the media industry. So there. I could go on, but I think I covered the basics.



I have black (dyed, unfortunately) hair, and I'm grieving the recent loss of my blue and black dreads. However, they shall be back... Got green/blue eyes which tend to look a bit different every day, 2 ears, nose and mouth. And all other body parts as standard. 5 ear piercing which are all a bit shoite, and have my nose and lip pierced. No tattoos as yet, but that shouldnt be for long now.



I love music, as do most people, and I'm mainly into metal, alt, industrial and hardcore electro. Although I do find myself singing along the occasional pop song, which no longer embarrasses me, as I'm a lot more settled within myself than I was when I was, say, 18. Not completely settled, but pretty damn comfy.



There's a whole lot more to me, but I figure I might as well keep a certain element of mystery about myself...

My state of mind is not yours to define!

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you!
