Hey everybody just figured I'd drop in and say a quick hello/fill out the introduction questions!

Birthday (sign?): July 31, 1991 (Leo)
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Occupation(s): Working at a gas station pumping gas and cashiering
Favorite Food(s): Mmm pizza, tacos, burgers, and I absolutely love ice cream haha I can't get enough of it!
Favorite Color(s): Green, Blue
What is the wing speed of an unladen swallow? That depends on if it's an African or European swallow, and if it is carrying a coconut or not
I love Monty Python
Toys: Hopefully you mean poi, I like glowstringing and glowpoi but am up for learning other things as I progress.
Hobbies other than the obvious: Freestyle Skiing, Diving, Anything to do with flipping/spinning
Education: Graduated high school, taking a year off before college then going for a degree as a physician assistant.
Favorite Book(s): I don't really like to read but my girlfriend actually got me into reading the twilight series haha (yea make fun all you'd like haha)
Favorite Movie(s): Dumb and Dumber, Super Troopers, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Godzilla vs. a Star Wars Star Destroyer. Who wins? Why? Oh Star Wars Destroyer for sure, Godzilla wouldn't stand a chance. All Godzilla could do is try to hit it down but the Destroyer would do exactly that, destroy Godzilla. That question isn't even fair haha.
Favorite TV show(s): Family Guy, King of the Hill and a few other Adult Swim shows when I'm too tired to practice poi but not tired enough to go to sleep.
Plans for life in general: (i.e. what you want to do when you grow up) I already kinda said it when I posted my education but I'm going to college next year to be a physician assistant and I'm not really sure where I'm gonna wanna practice but health care in general right now.
Favorite Music Artists/Composers: Most anything and I'm always open to new music so if you have something sick please send it over this way I'd love to hear it.
Do you think these pants make my butt look too big? Of course not! Well now that you mention it...haha just kidding!
Favorie ice cream flavor(s): Cookie Dough/Phish Food from Ben & Jerry's oh my god they're amazing!
Marmite, Vegemite, or Nutella?* Nutella!!! My girlfriend's sister lives in England and she turned me on to nutella and it is just amazing simple as that!

If i had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isnt. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldnt be. And what it wouldnt be, it would. You see?

Welcome to HoP!
Enjoy the lunatics, help yourself to some popcorn!
We're all pretty open here. So feel free to ask any questions and we'll try to help as best we can. For a beginner, I'd recommend checking out Nick Woosley's (I think that's how you spell it) Videos from Play Poi. He gives some pretty good tutorials.
P.S. False, Godzilla always wins.

He ALWAYS comes back. They keep blowing him up but then he's back for the next movie. He also breathes fire and lazers. So he's basically a big, endless supply of fire and poi. Which is epic in and of itself. That and star destroyers explode once and the empires gotta pay bazillions of dollars to get a new one. That and its a big green lizard. What's not win about that?

just because he keeps coming back doesnt mean that he wins. IT just means that he keeps losing.
I think the fact that Godzilla lost to Destroyer in the movies provokes remarkable contrast.

Hm.. Fair point. Godzilla still gets more cool points. And he wouoldnt necessarily lose I still don't think. If he got close enough, he could just kind of delve inside and wreck the thing.

You're all wrong, Ice cream always wins!
I'll tell you right now, the immense amount of things to do with poi alone will keep you entertained forever o0
I suggest for things to learn, Nick Woolsey's videos, first before anything, learn his beginner series videos. Performances are always good for me to look at when it comes to moves, transitions, and just general inspiration,
Also if your mind gets in a twist, a guy named Alien Jon has a bunch of simulations on Youtube that really help with grasping what to do.
