Someone trusting George to keep a secret? That's like telling a pirate that they can't say "argh". Growing old is mandatory; growing up is NOT.

Sanity is a highly overrated state of mind.
I'm normal ... it's everyone else that's crazy.

Woot for poi teachers!
Your parents are OK with it, then?
Dude, your parents live in Boulder. They have to have some hippie blood in them somewhere... right?

Hah, My parents are absolutely fine with me doing poi. More than fine with it actually. It's getting me my PE credits for school, so they're all for it. And if I found somebody to help me learn it, all the better. Not like I haven't met people from online before anyways. XD

I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

Heh, no class here pounce. I'm doing...kind of an independent study thing. ANYTHING that could possibly count as exercise counts towards my credits. Pretty cool, eh?
