Ok, it had to be done, so I am doing it.
YOU MIGHT BE A FIRE SPINNER IF:
*You have set fire to your clothes more than three times in your life.
*(Men only) you have hit yourself hard in the nads at least five times in one day.
*You are no longer bothered by the puzzled look on the cashier's face as she rings you up for three cans of white gas and a pack of bic lighters.
*You always have a lighter on you, even though you don't smoke.
*Your idea of a good time is to spend a night making strangers stop and stare at you.
Any others?

I love the persil bag idea! Loads on order!
... when your optician tests you for glaucoma every 6 monts because of the chemical residues (and iritation) you alway seem to have in your eyes.
... when the same optician ofers you safety specs coz you always seem to be braking normal ones.
... when your girlfriend knows youre not sneaking off to get drunk with your mates or to see another woman... it's a fire affair.

You own a lighter that's slightly more powerful than a jet engine.
You always have bruises/mild burns on your arms and legs, yet have no idea where they came from.
You spend all day on HoP when you should be revising for your finals/writing essays.

*Every time you're stopped at a traffic light, your hands start moving as if you were spinning.
*Sometimes you get so into it that the person behind you has to honk when the light turns green to remind you that you're supposed to be driving.

I got residency at a club! X-Calibur just south of Charlotte!!!
You get laid from spinning!
The 'Lighter Game" finally paid off! (I got 36 in one night not too long ago!)
You start to quote this thread to the other firedancers you know whenever something ironically humorous comes up that was mentioned here...
Your hands and arms are striped...
You go out partying and would rather spin than get f**ked up...
You get f**ked up and would rather spin than breathe...

if your flatmate bans you from carrying grocery bags because you spin them...
if you are out on the town and your friend suddenly asks you why you are always spinning your handbag and you didnt realise you were doing it...
if you borrow someone elses security pass on a string, because it feels "uneven" just spinning with yours...
you might be a juggler if!:
you are at a bbq and you start throwing sauce bottles/ sticks/ frisbees/ small children/ anything really, and are constantly having ppl point it out to you... (*hint hint falloutboy!)

So, you know those lanyard pens they have, where there's a loop of cord on the cap of the pen? Well, i'm working (pathetic 12 hrs a week ) as vendor rep and the company gives out those pens with the company logo on 'em. I just happen to have one...
When you send the pen part flying off a balcony at a mall because the tape you taped it down with (hey, you're not stupid, right?) came loose while you were practising arm wraps while walking back from lunch. (today )...
When you tape foam around the pen cap (pen part is long gone, flew off into mall somewhere) so that when you rap your knuckles practising the wrist wrap it won't bleed this time. (today)...
When, by the time you leave a store, the clerks are digging around looking for more of those promotional lanyard pens and asking if it hurts when you hit yourself ("why no, it doesn't hurt at all..." :devil smiley: ) (yesterday)...
When your boss tells you to quit spinning the damn promo pens (Prob tomorrow )...
When you buy a chiminea and/or patio heater so you can practise when it's cold (no rooms in my house big enough to spin in without emptying out all the furniture...)...
When you carry your spare triggers around in your jacket pocket and slip them on and off to break them in...
When you judge whether it's a cute outfit by its fire-resistance...
When your heavily tattooed friend sees you whack yourself and says "I couldn't do that... That looks painful" ...
