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...

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...

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.

Ry, I'll show you, if I can find the cord to connect the camera to the pc...
All my stuff is still packed in boxes, and I have no clue where anything is.

Had a lit-up spin for the 2nd time tonight!!
So much fun... slowed it all down and worked on a rotor with full rotation going both ways. Going pretty well and looks much better now I'm doing it properly.
Learned where you do the rotor and turn around while the staff keeps spinning in the same spot.
Spun over my head a bit, transitioned from side-to-side... fun, fun, fun. Gotta keep practising with my broomstick...

ye... I sure scored well finding an interest in fire twirling in and around brissie... having never even seen it in real life before my 1st moonfest, I've been surprised how big and how friendly/open/helpful and hugely talented the twirling community is here...!!
and I just love GREEN!!!
