Well, metaphorically speaking at least.
I havent set anything on fire yet. Im new to the whole poi thing, and i just got two cobra poi delivered this morning. Im currently at work and im very excited about going home and trying them out.
This morning i quickly mastered the 'head hitter', the 'lightbulb whacker' and the 'fridge magnet scatterer'. I almost mastered the 'decapitate the cat', but didnt quite manage it.
Im sure i'll spend about some time here as my job is very boring, im professionally nice to people, usually stupid people, and it can get very trying... if you havent guessed, im a customer services rep in a call centre.
Right, introduction made, i think...

So yes tell us everything....we're awfully nosey here y'know!

Hihi, I'm onefinalstep, otherwise known as Xand.
Call centres are evil. I got sacked from one because I could play guitar better than my boss (no joke). As for the cat-beheading, well done on not hurting it but as Stephen Lynch always says
"When the game of life makes you feel like quittin',
It helps a lot if you kill a kitten"
*runs off to get accoustic guitar and continue playing song*
P.S. I'm a cat lover btw

Oh, okay, but too much knowledge is a dangerous thing...
Age: I am 24 at the moment, and will be older the day after Christmas, so have had to put up with joint birthday presents for far too long.
Sex: I was female the last time i checked, but im a bit of a tomboy, and i think all women are insane, myself included.
Location: I currently live in Limerick, Ireland, which is a very grey place, and it rains all the time, but im here until i get my degree. I almost have it, i have one more exam to sit, and i'll have a B Sc in Computer Systems.
I am interested in loads of things, reading, writing, drugs, art, philosophy, psychology, anthropology, music, computer games, movies and probably much more things that i cant think of right now...
If you want specifics, let me know.
My eye colour is blue as far as im concerned, but im told its green, and im told its grey, and personally i think it depends on what im standing next to.
My marital status is single and at the moment my pants are black...

My state of mind is not yours to define!

Ooo Ireland , land of lots of funky stuff like stone circles and old stuff.
If you get a chance there are lovely people in Dublin to spin with at least. Nice stuff in the museum there too.

Is it the Truth?
Is it Fair to all concerned?
Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?

Virtual orange sock poi?! Thats one of the strangest things anyones ever given me! Thank you.
Ive only just started with poi, and im determined to get the hang of it. Ive become interested in the stick side of it too, that seems like fun, but considering ive only just found out that it existed, i may be jumping the gun. But thats kinda my style.
Hopefully, next summer, i'll be good enough, or at least look good enough, to part finance my tour of Europe, busking my way along, relying on the generosity of strangers. Has anyone here ever done that and if so did you have a good time and meet loads of cool peoples?
