Hello poi world

Name: Trace

Location: Santa Cruz, CA, USA. Pretty much the burn capitol of California. At least we would have ourselves believe.

Hometown: Milpitas. Boring suburban town where everyone does their best to make everything in the town exactly the same as everywhere else.

Birthday: March 14th, but I'd appreciate you not labeling me with a sign. People have enough prejudices without shoving each other into stereotypes based on birthdays.

Age: 24

Sex: Male

Gender: man

Preferred Gender Pronouns: He, him, his, himself

Occupation(s): Psycho-wrangler, better known as an orderly. I work in a mental health rehabilitation clinic, which is a p.c. way to describe an asylum. Most of my job revolves around conflict resolution and de-escalation.

Favorite Food(s): Burritos, sushi, curry, ramen

Favorite Color(s): Dark blue, like the deep ocean.

Toys: Best with poi, but learning double staff and contact juggling. Also have an interest in contact staff.

Hobbies other than the obvious: Seibukan Jujutsu, Guitar, shakuhachi (japanese flute), reading literature, watching films, random dabbling in leatherworking

Education: Graduated UCSC couple years ago with a BA in English Literature.

Favorite Book at the moment: The Raw Shark Texts

Favorite Movie at the moment: The Fountain

Narwhal vs. Unicorn: Narwhal, without question.

Favorite TV show(s): Don't watch live TV anymore. Takes too much time out of my life. And the commercials are usually ideologically abhorrent to me. Well, most of the shows too.

Plans for life in general: Never really had a "mission," but right now I'm trying to get my teaching credential so I can teach high school English.

Favorite Music Artists/Composers: Andy Mckee, Antoine Dufour, Trace Bundy, Tool, APC, The Mars Volta, Dredg, Queen

Do you think these pants make my butt look too big?: I'm more concerned that this joke is used by men to mock women as being overly fixated with superficial matters while at the same time the primary mode of reinforcing self-esteem in girls is to tell them, "You're pretty."

Favorie ice cream flavor(s): Anything sherbet.

Marmite, Vegemite, or Nutella?: I'm a Nutella fan myself.
