ok so have you ever had those moments when something completely unrelated to spinning happens and it makes you think of something to do with whatever toys you play with?
like...
i was smoking in my back yard and i was spacing out looking at one of those little plastic things that twirl around when the wind blows on them, except this one had two fans on it that go in opposite directions, and the first thing that popped into my head was butterfly antispin flowers lol

When you drop your staff, it takes a chunk out of your toe (as you were bare foot) and you dont flinch you just pick up the staff and carry on.
Mother in law wasnt too happy when I walked blood through the house though whoops

Well, I was hunting down the "singles" thread but this is probably a better place for this... (Who would have thought it'd have a post that could span either?)
I have somewhat of a crush on a particular female... and one of the pictures I find most attractive she is in fact... doing poi. (She rarely does but used to do clubs in calisthenics as a kid so has some aptitude for the beasts)

MNS.. out of all the pictures I have of my girlfriend and I, the one i hold truest to my heart is her holding my lit staff topless looking into the sky, it does it for me every time!This crush you have may be a keeper??
Hmm back to my original thought,YOU know you spin to much when.... today at work i could not stop thinking about spinning and decided to tie coffee cups to the napkins we use to roll up silverware and spin them around like poi, it actually worked out pretty well and i got my quick 15 minute poi fix in... it was great!!!

She's a friend I'll keep for sure, but theres so much stuff that makes anything else very, very complicated.
I tend to find myself doing poi with my goggles at the swimming pool... but I don't really 'spin too much' ... I actually havent been doing it much at all, but I think about it a lot, still.

you know you spin too much when every waking minute of every waking hour of every waking day you see techniques flashing through your mind, nothing stops it not even sleep, welcome to my world.

Apperently when Im driving and we have music in on the car, my boyfriend says he can tell Im thinking about what moves would fit nicely with the music
I have also woke up in the middle of the night spinning my wrists in a 3 beat weave motion, scared the crap out of my boyfriend hehe and I have also gotten up in the middle of the night to try out moves Im practising. I also take my son to every carnival and village fair going incase there is a circus workshop where I might get a chance to spin

When you have taken your poi socks into the shower with you to wash them because you thought they were too good for the machine.
Admittedly, I would take my flowlights in the shower with me if they were waterproof.

Can always scrub the crystal cases, cuz those things sure get dirty.
I once considered making weighted poi to combine practice and a workout. Yet to perfect that thought.

I spin my camera around by its strap. Not the smartest one in the world. Also any scarf I'm wearing is subject to being spun.
