Hi all... I am a complete newbie to poi, fire twirling and anything/everything related. In fact, I'll only even see it in real life for the 1st time next Friday (making it down to the Moon Fest on north side of Brissie).
Anyway, this is me...

Favorite Color(s): Green
Toys: Acoustic guitar, Classical guitar, 3 electric guitars, 2 djembes.
Hobbies other than the obvious: Music, Reading, Keeping fit (hmmm, not so much of the keeping fit, actually)
Education: Did Bachelor of Science majoring in Computer Science and Pure Maths. Then Grad Dip Appl Computing... then started a research masters, but gave it away when life got in the way.

Favorie ice cream flavor(s): Vanilla.
Marmite, Vegemite, or Nutella? (please choose one...this is important as it is essentially this site's equivalent of stating your religion...we have religious wars, crusades, cathedrals to Nutella, all that.)
Definitely... vegemite.

Awww...
...I loves the twirly curls...I used to spend hours wrapping perms for women that paid lots of money for curls like that!!! I loved getting the money for it, but I sure didn't like the time it took to do it!!!...and I always ended up with every spiral perm that walked thru the door...wanted to run and hide!!!
That's kind of strange when I consider that all I do to my own hair is shampoo it, put a couple braids in it, occasionally...and maybe a few feathers...and let it go!!!

*sings*...I'm gonna wash those kids right outta my hair!!!
I'm guessing that Durex must be a hair colour line...??? Sounds more like cookware, or something!!!
