From: New Orleans, Louisiana
Favorite Toys: poi (2.5 yr), flags, staff (relative newbie), double batons (newbie).
Occupation: Geologist (MSc in Structural Geology)
Hobbies: poi, SCUBA, horseback riding (English), collecting coins, writing, reading, rock climbing, traveling, collecting minerals, and soo much more.
Music : Trance, World, clasical, and most others aside from country.
Movies : Silence of the Lambs, Matrix, Amelie, Chocolat, Fellowship of the Ring Expanded version, Two Towers, Expanded Version, Strictly Ballroom, and So many more.
Books: Where to begin? Huge Sci Fi buff, but also love Toni Morrison (Song of Solomon, Paradise): Bastard out of Carolina, Tracks, Dreaming in Cuban. (Those are my non Sci Fi titles)
Sci Fi/fantasy wise: In the Company of Others (Julie Czerneda, and all her other books), The Dark Jewel Trilogy by Anne Bishop, Green Rider by Kristen Britain, SnowCrash, Spin State (by Chris Moriarty), Deed of Paksenarrion by Elizabeth Moon. and Lots more.

I've been to the other side of the planet....Kyrgyzstan is a beautiful country.
I love visiting different countries, and I'm dying to live in the UK for a couple of years (perhaps get my PhD there?).
Dark Chocolate sings to me as does Sushi, though not at the same time.
I enjoy cooking, though my repetoire is limited.
Cassandra's CREPES Sing to me as well...OH HOW I miss them!
Like Vanize, I enjoy role playing games.
I tend to ramble.
Anything else? Oh...
Women. I like Women.
There are a couple of men I like too, but I'm really way picky.
And I'm very very Shy...ask Vanize. He knows. Spritie too.
OK, so that's it. That's me. Well...that's not all of me.
Oh yeah...my web page: www.spytfire.com

I think Vanize said something about going on to the BJC but that doesn't really help because that ends on the 3rd..... maybe he could make a detour on his way home to see you
Come to Falmouth! There will be loads of us there!

He's since said he won't be at the BJC because he can't afford the vacation time to do so.
There is also a chance he'll be in TX at the end of May, but there are no definites on that one yet.

I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

OK, I REALLY need to get my head out of the gutter. I totally thought you meant 'staff' as in long thin item that's spun about (being "Home of Poi and Staff spinning) and that sentence had a TOTALLY different meaning.

That is a very good question. I'll probably be ready for a vacation in there somewhere, but we have no set plans...What I see happening is me flying over, spending time and bringing her back to the States.
It means a nerve-wracking wait for me after I've gone through immigration as I wait for her, but, that's ok...oh wait...they have a new international wing! Forgot about that...

As Kim says, I get back in the Uk on about 3rd or 4th April.
I don't know exactly when I'm coming back here, because I need a new passport whilst I'm back home.
Unless we're planning trips with people, my plan was to wait until they gave me a new passport, and then book a flight for in a couple of days time.
The passport agency estimates at around 3 weeks to obtain a new passport, at this time of year.

Mornin' Spitfire,
I could so make a hobby out of reading people's introductions on this forum!
Also, between you and Mand, you've probably got all the outdoor activities covered!
I'm with you on Amelie- probably caught it about 7 times now, 3 of which were in the cinema I managed to step, not too long ago, into the cafe in Paris which they used as set- bit of a pilgrimage.. Too crowded to get a coffee though..
And you should know..when is the next megatsunami btw? Like the one at Lituya bay..
