The other night my girlfriend and I went and spun fire for an hour. I went to one of my friends house afterwards and his father answered the door. He just looked at me like I was crazy. I stunk of kerosene and was covered in all these black marks where the wicks hit me. I was wearing khaki pants and a tan [censored] so they really stuck out. Of course I had to go through the whole explanation of why it seemed I've been starting fires but really was spinning fire which evokes more incredulous looks. Oh and does anyone else with dreads seem to notcie a lingering scent of kerosene in their hair after spinning a bunch.

1 simple word: Fabreze.

You need to use loads of it though.

What a wonderful miracle if only we could look through each other's eyes for an instant.

Or washing your clothes and changing your hair.

Only helps if you have a collection of wigs though...

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

I usually get around the smelly hair thing by twirling in a fire proof wig, this also stops me from setting it alight... My hair is V.long, red and I can sit on it, so I tend to try and look after it!
As for the rest of me being kero-scented, My mother hates it and if I rock up on her doorstep stinking of it, she hurries me off to the shower.
Most of my friends are spinners though, and the only reaction I tend to get from them is.. "Mmm, Eve! you smell like kero, yummy"

The funniest reaction from strangers that I ever got, was when I was out spinning with a friend of mine, she and I went to a bar for a pint afterwards and another of my friends was on the door. Apparently a couple of guys came up and said "Mate! we're looking for those chicks who smell like petrol or something! are they in here?" My friend said no, and made them leave. (Thankfully) hehe, silly randoms that can't even tell the diff' between kero and petrol!

What if I should fall right through the centre of the Earth and come out the other side where people walk upside-down?!
