Hello, I am Owen.
I usually go by either 'Shadow-Flame' or 'Telephone_sanitizer' on the internet, but someone had already stolen them here.
I'm a friend of Jarle, and am attempting to learn staff, but since I haven't managed to make one yet, I've been practicing with some poi.
So far my staff is just a heavy broom handle with pool noodle offcuts on each end for padding, but it's got a crappy moment of inertia, and so I need to put more weight on the ends, any quick and easy suggestions on how to do that?
I plan on buying a proper firestaff, but I thought it would be worthwhile to learn a few moves before I spent too much money, incase I'm no good at it.

*Gidg bounces in on her pogo stick* ... boing ... boing ... boing ... boing ...
Welcome to HoP and dont' worry about the staff. Everyone has spun a broom stick once in their lives.

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

oh, I see, template...
I'll be silly and fill it in backwards =D
Marmite, Vegemite, or Nutella? Nutella is not so good, and i have no idea what marmite is. And Vegemite only goes with pancakes, just as pancakes only go with Vegemite.
Favorie ice cream flavor(s): Peppermint choc chip!!!
Do you think these pants make my butt look too big? Well the alternative is not to wear pants, and nobody really wants that.
Favorite Music Artists/Composers: I listen to anything that isn't rap and doesn't make me grind my teeth, they are in bad enough shape as it is.
Plans for life in general: (i.e. what you want to do when you grow up) Currently I'm in a science degree, but I really have no idea of what I want to do.
Favorite TV show(s): British comedies are awesome; so black books, coupling, etc.
Godzilla vs. a Star Wars Star Destroyer. Who wins? Why? It's just like in warhammer, it depends on how far away they start. Godzilla does not appear to have a range on his energy beam, so for really long distances he wins hands down, for mid range the star destroyer, as it has more guns, and could take a shot or two, and for close range, Godzilla wins again, he just eats everything.
Favorite Movie(s): The Emperors New Groove, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and some others.
Favorite Book(s): favorite? I never really read anything more then once... But if I was to pick, I'd say Terry Pratchet's Discworld series, in particular Thud. And Anne McCaffery is good, and perhaps Ursula Le Guin. As you can probably guess, I like fantasy, and Sci-fi books, although I cannot think of any good examples for the latter.
Education: I know everything, it just takes some remembering.
Toys: Er... as in spinning toys? Staff and poi, at the moment.
What is the wing speed of an unladen swallow? Fast
Favorite Color(s): Everything! I like how colours work together, not each one on it's own.
Favorite Food(s): STEAK!!! I would so be a carnivore if it were possible. I figure that if the vegetarians have a right to annoy other people about eating meat, someone has to take a contrary view to balance it all out.
Occupation(s): Uni Student
Sex: HA! the day that happens will be a strange day indeed
Age: 18...ish
Birthday (sign?): December 4th
Location: Melbourne
Name: Owen. Nicknames never seem to stick for me, I'd so love to have a good one, but it never happens.
=D backwards is fun!

wow... that almost sounds as bad as when my brother puts Nutella on his muffins. When that happens you can hardly find a clean knife, let alone the muffin. Sometimes he skips the knife entirely and just uses a spoon. Thankfully he hasn't realised that the ice cream scoop will fit in the jar yet.

Probably... *counts in head* actually, probably more then nine
I'm beginning to think I'm somewhat addicted to the internet, I need to get out and practice spinning more, lol. But the only way I can find any new moves is to get on here. Oh the irony

Oh, it's easy, just bring a laptop to a tattoo parlor, and get tats of moves you haven't learned yet, so you can take them outside with you everywhere you go. And when you're inside you can make the pictures do a butterfly by flexing your arms.
