Im a Thespian, But I'll Act Normal Around You Guys

Most people I know seem to really like big heavy sticks, but MY favorite set of sticks, are really light weight thin doubles, also really short (90cm) I find the nicest staffs are light but well weighted at both ends for quicker spinning
but then, I am a tiny person...
If someone gives me huge long heavy staff to play with, I tend to drop it, or hurt myself.
Also, I do ALOT of finger spinning so I like thin grips for my little hands

What if I should fall right through the centre of the Earth and come out the other side where people walk upside-down?!

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

Just Pick a wieght that's right for YOU

A kiss blown is a kiss wasted, the only kind of kiss is a kiss tasted.

I'm a woman. We don't say what we want, but we reserve the right to be pissed off if we don't get it. That's what makes us so fascinating and not just a LITTLE bit scary.

I made mine in San Fran after not having anything to do...took a couple of attempts...broke the first one busking(but a got a dollar just for that! A niche in the busking-market perhaps?), snapped the second one pratising to kick it up with my heels off the floor..
For my current staff I chose thicker aluminium because it had to go through airports and being dropped as I'd only been doing it for 2 months. I've found a good weight for me, it just hurts like hell when I hit myself . Plus I've just rewicked it with 4 times the amount of wick as the last one, it was only ickle..

But my staff does feel alot heavier than most peoples I've used...to answer the original question....and I'll eventually stop rambling...and go to bed....it's 4am...this insomnia is driving me nuts...maybe I'll go fire-dance?...or invent a cure for hitting yourself in the head with a heavy fire-staff...I did it ...turns out its practise...celebratory drink

Health is a secondary consideration when you have a lifestyle to maintain
