Hi guys, I'm new round here, though I first found HoP a couple of years back, I've only recently been reminded about it by a friend. I'm a beginner at poi, but I'm hoping to get a lot of practice in this summer... So, the questions...
Name: Michelle
Location: South London.
Hometown: Edinburgh, Scotland.
DOB: 1974
Age:31
Sex: F
Occupation(s): Database Developer for the University of London.
Favorite Food(s): Crumpets and butter. Sushi.
Favorite Color(s): Anything in the red/pink/purple spectrum. And rainbow colours.
Toys: Ooh. Geekery. Latest gadget is a M5000 - a mobile/PDA thing that does *everything*. As for non-electronic toys, I'm into kites - mostly stunt kites, but also the odd smaller power kite, and I like my line tat and wind toys :-)
Hobbies other than the obvious: Kiting, Live Journal (clarisinda.livejournal.com), real ale, and as much travel as I can fit in round a full time job - next up is a week on a boat in and around Venice with friends and I can't wait...
Education: degree in useless arts subjects, and a pg dip in something actually useful.
Favorite Book(s): Goodness knows.. no idea...
Favorite Movie(s): Not really into films, but I prefer UK films to anything USian.
Favorite TV show(s): I watch far too much reality TV. To balance that I also love BBC 4. I spend far more time listening to the radio than watching TV - I'm a Radio 4 addict :-)
Plans for life in general: (i.e. what you want to do when you grow up) Grow up? Do I have to?
Favorite Music Artists/Composers: Hmm. Simon and Garfunkel. Michael Nyman. Enya. Andrew Lloyd Weber and various other musical stuff.
Favorie ice cream flavor(s): Ben and Jerry's Cookie Dough Icecream.
Marmite, Vegemite, or Nutella? Either Marmite or Nutella. Never tried Vegemite. Actually, on balance, probably Nutella - does it matter?
Anyway, nice to meet you :-)

Nutella's lovely. Doesn't matter to me, but believe me, it matters to some of the loony's on here.

Hello Michelle, welcome to HoP!
Hello Michelle, welcome to HoP!
My state of mind is not yours to define!
There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

Sanity is a highly overrated state of mind.
