Toys: Right now, I have the jailhouse sock poi, Which I can often be seen practicing while on the phones at work. I'm just starting out so I need all the practice I can get!
Hobbies other than the obvious: I'm a big fan of art, I enjoy photography. I also dabble in that, as well as photo editing. I do a bit of video editing as well. I'm a fan of video games, (Just got a WII for Christmas, Lovin' it!).
Education: I went to College for a few semesters for Information Systems Technology, Decided it was too boring; Went back to college for my bachelors in Photography. I'm still working on that one.
Favorite Book(s): I enjoy Dean Koontz, Tim Waggoner, Ellen Hopkins, Stephen King; who doesn't enjoy some Mr. King?
Favorite Movie(s): My favorite movies change from day to day; I love animated movies; Toy Story, Finding Nemo, etc. Jim Carrey is my favorite actor, I love any of his movies. Lately I'm really diggin' the movie "Role Models", it's hilarious!

Plans for life in general: I wanna be happy when I grow up, but, I wanna experience as much as possible while I'm young.
Favorite Music Artists/Composers: Music; I listen to anything really. From Techno to alternative rock. I enjoy it all.
Do you think these pants make my butt look too big? Okay; I'm gonna be completely honest, It's not the pants...It's the butt implants, they kinda make it look a LITTLE hefty, just a little though.
Favorie ice cream flavor(s): Vanilla, with sprinkles, syrup, oreos and gummi bears in it!
Marmite, Vegemite, or Nutella? Nutella.
--------------
So yes, I'm just starting out with poi. I live in a very small town, noone in this area knows what poi is. You mention it, they say "What's 'at?" you describe it, get the same response. Yay for Hick towns. I'm hoping to bring a bit of fun to my area!

New person! Yay!
Welcome to HoP!
Watch out for the squirrels. They dislike being used as poi.
Also, Marmite is better, but I will forgive you for being a MST3K fan.

Haha, I work in a call center. We have the headsets. I don't know how well that's gonna fly when my boss comes back (He's on vacation) but, we'll see. It'd be awesome if he'd let me do that haha.

Yeah I've been watching some of the beginners videos today. I defintely enjoy this so much. I've hit myself quite a bit, but it's all in the spirit of learning haha.

Lol, what do your coworkers think? Because I know a ton of people in which any movement that is not their own bothers them to the point of exploding

Yeah. I guess, especially with the hypnotizing jailhouse poi O_O You should see them in a blacklight awesome! I have a couple pairs of them, but I learned I hate the stretchyness of them. But friends seem to find them easier to spin with o0. Maybe because they forcefully go slow? I'd say my old beat up cone poi which I recently found and my LED poi are my favorite under my fire poi I'm also in an area where quite literally NO ONE has ever seen it before. Which makes it all the more entertaining for them I personally came across it 8 time zones away from me. Maybe I'll create some spinners to keep as lackeys and call Scribble and Dinkins that worship me as a poi god and wish to follow in my footsteps as I keep them alienated from all other sources of poi. Could work

High five for spinning at work! I've been doing it long enough that it's started to change from charming and novel to annoying, but obsessive spinning is part of the path to Awesome (which is why I also spin on my way to the car, in my back yard, in the grocery store, while fueling my car...).
