i feel left behind. i'll never be a world class juggler, so its ok there, but i like to think i can spin ok so when i turn up at a meet and i've been spinning stick for 3 months, and everyone is doing mad dancy poi hybrids with one head making an infinity and the other an inverted trifoil i feel a bit silly. and usually do some negative space to make myself feel better equally i feel the same about staff when i spend a lot of time on poi. and then within a prop itself - i've been juggling staffs and making tasty patterns, but i can't do ANY complicated 1 staff contact any more. ARGH!!!!! this is good for my ego, but not for my sense of encyclopaedia or general skillz...
just as i feel i'm getting good at something i get switched on to something else - either through boredom, or more usually through inspiration. this happens even more so when i'm performing a prop heavily. can be exceptionally frustrating. especially when it links back to the previous negative...

carrying around all the toys is the main concern for me. I have a demanding job (not performing) and so I know I'll never have the time to be really really good at even one prop - but I'm happy in my own world developing under my own steam in my own directions and having stacks of mates all over the world who make me go when I see em do their thing.
taken out of context i must seem so strange

i spin poi, staff, juggle (5 clubs, 7 balls, neither particularly solidly at the mo), contact juggle, balance, and talk shite, all to performance level. i also do a load of other things to an ok level - hackysack, trombone (though i do get paid for that too....) bits of hula, devilstick, diabolo (learning 2), capoeira...

the negatives...
hmmm. surprisingly large number here:
i have to carry a huge amount of props anywhere i go, just to make sure i have the one that works for me right now

multi proppers - do you regret/love it? why. why did you start progressing through props. what benefits/negatives would you draw from spreading your load, as it were?

Single proppers - are you happy? why haven't you been tempted by other props? do you find it helps keep focus? anything i should know about?
