Sparkly new intro... (not that I'm bored and have to wait for my afternoon practical or anything)





I'm still Why



Now 24 (almost 1/4 century... yay me)



Over in Glasgow, officially, but can't help but visit Ed lots.



Eternal student, new degree in a new city (another 4 years to go)



Toy of choice: Staff - not good, but not useless... Don't practice much, but like to think I am getting good at teaching beginners' stuff



Other toys: Really interested (= not good, but now own one) in whips, bit of poi (well I can manage that one indoors), contact people (hugs, snuggling, non-serious acro).



Current fun move/working on: Why do I ask myself silly questions?





staff: 1-beats in stupid hand positions and places, fishtails (my left hand WILL get it eventually) and fishy transfers, elbow to wrist rolls, elbow pops, random stupid stall-y, devilsticky things... etc...



doubles: still only just starting out... looking for fluidity before thinking too much about "tricks"



whips: (I have no idea of terminology... so shall make things up the now:) still can't do a bloody simple over arm crack!, horizontal lasso cracks, low level multi cracks (4-5 indoors when I had a big corridor, 3 on grass), fun transition from low level to high... (3 low, 2 high with extra loud last high), wiggly multi-cracks



poi: (not really looked up terminology again) butterfly variations... kinda butterfly weave thing, between legs stuff, stalls, isolations, cleaning up 3 and 5 bt weaves, btb backwards weave (and eventually forwards...), trying to get head around airwraps still too



people: much hugging practice... still my total favourite move , and a few silly acro games with silly people :o)



Been to any gatherings? (mon) Ed fire nights until recently (uni started back), glasgow juggling (weds) and sometimes glas fire (fridays), Uberstaff, oooh went to my 1st EJC... was ace , hope to go to a few more convention type things...

hoping for Play, EJC, uberstaff, (mebbe even uberpoi!), who knows...



run out of time/self-questions
