Godzilla vs. a Star Wars Star Destroyer. Who wins? Why? Godzilla.. Coz he(she) just rocks!
Favorite TV show(s): Dexter
Plans for life in general: (i.e. what you want to do when you grow up)
Dont want to grow up!!!!!! But I want to have a part time photography business at some point

Do you think these pants make my butt look too big? erm....
Favorie ice cream flavor(s): crunchie ice cream... seriously morish!!!
Marmite, Vegemite, or Nutella?* Marmite.. I'm hard!!!
Phew glad that is out of the way hahaha, good questionnaire!
Anyway I am a mum of 3 kids, out of work at the moment raising them. Currently teaching our eldest daughter poi, she is doing pretty well too. My husband is also a DJ so while he is mixing Anita and I spin in the front room.
Also I am a bit of a geek when it comes to all things with 8 legs. I specialise in scorpions whilst my husband specialises in Asian tarantula's. We have about 250+ arachnids, 6 snakes and 3 lizards..... and a load of Water dragon eggs in incubation
Love clubbing and festivals, always armed with my camera. I'm not a professional photographer but I get asked to take pics wherever I go!
I first started to learn poi about 2 and a half years ago whilst I was pregnant with kiddie #3. I could not walk very far, back was aching and I needed something to stop me from going insane. Hmmm how do we do this poi thing? *goes onto youtube*
And it all started from there, I learned something that was low impact exercise and had lots of fun. Nearly sent myself into premature labour a few times bashing my belly! lolz!
A lot of my friends do diablo, staff, hoop,juggling, poi so when we all meet up it is loads of fun. Hope to make some more friends on here
Peace out

Hi Lisa, and welcome to HoP!
Now I must do research on water dragons. With a name like that, they have to be about the greatest pet ever, right??

yea they are pretty cool. They were my first lizards many moons ago, very reminiscent of green iguana's but without the common attitude problem! I have an adult male n female. I think the male was a magpie in his last life because he likes shiny things! As does the Phillipine Sailfin dragon.... google that one it looks like a dinosaur! I have had to make a mobile type toy in their enclosure using old CD's!
The Phillipine Sailfin is a female and not as flamboyant as the males, but a stunning looking lizard.

Another supporter of the Squirrel Defence League. All the Nutella-lovers attract them, since they are nuts and Nutella has nuts.

Things the British should apologize for:
1) Marmite! It is a plague upon the world.
2) The Teletubbies! Millions of children are psychologically damaged now.
3) The Spice Girls! Who's STD infections may have given rise to Marmite and bastard children may be the Teletubbies.
Wink, wink, poke, poke and yadda, yadda.
