Hello!



I'm Lynne, 26, in the Midlands. Been learning poi for about 5 weeks. I can do backwards and forwards weave, and butterfly and reverse butterfly as well as possibly other thing si don't know names for..



I can't do shoulder or hip reels to save my life, but i'm trying!



Other stuff? Job hunting, student (psychology degree), reading, being boring biggrin





Lynne



[edit to say i dragged this up so i can keep a kind of poi diary. Rather than boring non-poi people to tears, i can bore poi ppl to tears ubbangel]

You can't avoid pain by fencing yourself from it.
Some times you need the help of others more than anything else
But you have to let them close enough to help......
People want to be needed, I found that out too

i've been doing poi for years now and for some odd stupid reason i can't get shoulder and hip reels either! ubblol i'm such a loser!

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.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

Some things in the world shouldn't change. Like Oranges should be orange, fairies should have wings, and Pink should ask her question.

See, I'm a sight/sound synesthete. I don't fit the sterotype, either, except that I have ADHD.

For everyone else who has no idea what the censored we're talking about...

Synesthesia is a mixing of the senses. You're born with it. For me, things I hear have a color and a texture and a shape and even a virtual location in space. I don't actually SEE them, but yet they have those properties. On the other hand, if I see someone walking behind a set of vertical slats, like vertical venetian blinds, I'll "hear" a "ratatatatatat" as they pass each slat. Except I know I'm not actually hearing it.

The stereotypical synesthete is female, left-handed, artistic, and has ADHD.

Well, I'm male, right-handed, a die-hard scientist, and I have ADHD. Go figure.

Do you get the same thing whilst reading? A synesthetic alphabet?
