edit:

figured i may as well say some other stuff in this post too, seeing as i'm presently changing the title of the thread (from the basic introduce yourself here thread to what you now see it as)...

first off, HoP rules. i am so grateful to have found poi, and to have come to this magickal land of peace and happiness. everyone here is so wonderful and amazing and full of sharing and caring and love. such a wonderful family, i have not come across anything even vaguely resembling it on the net... as im sure you can agree.

secondly.. its all love. everything is love. if you see love then you'll feel it and have such a greater, more enjoyable time here on earth. feel free to indulge in the ubblove and heart and hug that you will find in this thread... if you share love it is doubled....

cant really think of anything else atm...

..any questions? i love questions.. yay.

much love, folks. heart



so this was the original post:



hello.





using comet poi outside while its windy sometimes gets you whipped in the face and sometimes tangles your poi up, but it helps to achieve definition in your moves.

doing poi in front of a mirror (or two) helps you as well.

i know, you all know this already.

maybe i should just say:

um.

and leave it at that..

but thats nowhere near as entertaining, and i'm sure that there will not be that much conversation created by that, and thats why i've come here, i suppose, to chat and meet people so i can do more poi, because it is

real stink

when you dont have anyone to poi with.

and im in wellington, nz. i did a search and there are no others from wellington on this site.. which rather suprised me.

i like poi. they are fun and stimulating. i like uncovering "new" moves and i like "perfecting" moves that i couldn't do before..

i find it difficult to understand how poi moves are supposed to go when reading in the forums, i find it easier to watch someone do it and then duplicate the same (or similar) body movements..

hence the desire to hook up with people, i guess..



anyway.

im 25. im a healer (energy-work, acupuncture, chinese massage), and am into meditation and spirituality (although i have sampled from many different religions/philosophies/modes of thought etc, what resonates most with me is zen buddhism, taoism, and integral studies). i dont eat animals (three years) and dont buy into that "reality" bullshit (ie tv, newspapers etc). what is happening to me directly is far more interesting to me than whats made up or whats being fed to us (which is usually coloured a certain way because... blahblah). i like nature a lot. so rich and vibrant and wonderful. i like music, all different genres (even country..!), although i have been enjoying reggae, r&b and hip-hop lately. very good to dance to, although i find it a little slow to poi to.. i like movies like fight club, the cube, princess mononoke etc.

um.

i've been married (still am, i spose.. separated - but on amicable terms, yayfully), which was a great experience, but now.. the freedom of being one instead of part of two.. its really nice. all that potential..

anyway.. i cant think of anything more to say.

hope this wasn't too long.

todd.

wavehello



Just thought i'd visit your thread. smileReally interested in learning more about what it is you do. Fascinating stuff - but not a subject that i know much about.



Also - about not knowing other spinners in Wellington, have you found the full moon fire circle in Zebos/Southern Cross bar off Cuba St? i missed it by a day when i was in Wellington, but i know there's a session on this Thursday, should be worth checking out.

if you are a llama then i think i will have to shave you. just to warn you. you might get a little chilly down in tassy though. so do think twice before coming as one... as for what noise... let your imagination take over!
