Posted: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?

DeletePosted:Seeing as the subject of spinning in the car has come up, I would like to take this opportunity to publicly apologise for any dents I may have put in the body of my friend Poi boi's car with my electroglos, oh, and to the pedestrians I freaked out as well, and to the other drivers who thought the blue light was law enforcement.......
tip of the day: it is not possible to weave with body in car & Poi outside car, without doing damage to persons or property.
(but oh, how I would love to proved wrong!)

Posted:poiaholic, if there is one thing that all this crazy fire fun is teaching me is that you are correct in that nothing is impossible!
I don't think you have too much of a problem thinking about spinning more than sex, could be a concern thought if you're thinking of spinning while you're having sex, or worse, start spinning!
maybe i should take this opportunity to publicly apologise to my husband..............

You have aloe vera growing in rows like carrots.
You've pierced parts of your body so you can attach Poi to it.
You end up geting arrested for arson and swear it was art.

Posted:- You have a nightclub secretary tell you that she spent 3 days looking for "xtreme" performers on the net and didn't find anyone, but her boss walks in and instantly goes..."I've had this brochure of this girl I have been longing to hire just to see what she does, for over a year..." (I got that job too! )
- When people walk up to you and go..."Don't I know you from somewhere" and you list the media that has covered you before the nightclubs you go to.
- When you watch dancers on tv and go..."If I adapt that move then I can fit *name of tool here* in and make it look better".
- When it seems that you can pick up on someone using the word fire in a conversation you are not part of, in any context, from several yards away.
- When, no matter where you go, people point out any flame print clothing to you.
- When people assume your favorite color scheme is Red, Yellow and Orange.
- When kids you could have given birth to hit on you and then tell you that you should be a movie or video star cause you are so incredible. (It was irritating after a bit, but it was flattering)

Posted:you may know you are a fire spinner, the things in your life are that lil bit more boaring if they dont have Poi in them....
eg, can i do Poi on the bus?
can i do it on my skatebaord
can i do Poi while i play teh drums,
and when ur frielnds are so used to you doing fire, that they stop telling you in a manic fashion you are on fire, and trying to help
also when teh fire brigade are on first name termswith you and you drink with them down the pub!

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

might have to try it now...
you're a fire spinner, if you borrow someone elses security card on a string so you can spin them for someone at work!
you're a fire spinner if your flatmate bans you from carrying groceries because you keep spinning them and breaking the handles on the plastic bags...
you're a spinner if your workmates are used to seeing odd black marks on your nice work clothing, because you accidentally forgot and chucked some "fire clothes" in with your normal clothes and got soot over everything...
