What's up. Like the topic says so vaguely, I'm new.
Now with that out of the way, let's go 
Name: Chris
Location: Lake Dallas, (Near Denton) Texas
Hometown: Gaithersburg, Maryland
DOB: 6/15/81
Age: 24
Sex: Male
Occupation(s): Unemployed
Favorite Food(s): Too many to think of Mac n Cheese is a top one tho..
Favorite Color(s): Orange, Blue
Toys: 3" Acrylic sphere's, poi, and devilstix for right now.
Hobbies other than the obvious: Contact juggling, sticking.
Education: No comment
Favorite Book(s): Goosebumps
Favorite Movie(s): Pulp Fiction, Se7en, Snatch, Boondock Saints, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas..the list goes on..
Favorite TV show(s): South Park, Family Guy, court shows..
Plans for life in general: (i.e. what you want to do when you grow up) Entertainer
Favorite Music Artists/Composers: Tool, Sublime, and more.. not picky with music.
Favorie ice cream flavor(s): I don't eat it.
Marmite, Vegemite, or Nutella? - I haven't had any, but I'm tempted to try Nutella.
-
That's who I am I'm currently using either tennis balls, or lacrosse balls in tube socks for poi. I tried to order from HOP, but the card doesn't like oversea orders I guess 
I'll probably order elsewhere, but I have a question. I was looking in to making better practice poi, and every method I've seen involved going all the way through the tennis ball.
I was thinking of just using and eye screw, and attaching a swivel to it...followed by string of some sort (nylon?) ..and I haven't figured out a strap yet. Would that work okay, or am I basically gonna rip the eye screw out when I hit stuff?
Thanks for the replies I may get

hiya! welcome to the nuthouse! 
enjoy your stay!! 
as for practice poi...i find tennis balls in the end of knee length (preferably stripey & with toes!) socks works just fine!! or maybe juggling balls or stress balls...something with a bit of weight that won't crack your skull!! 
have fun!

do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good to eat!
if at first you do succeed, try not to look too astonished!
smile! :grin: it confuses people!

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

Thanks for the warm welcome. I reordered my ultra poi from HOP with an actual credit card (instead of debit) So lets hope it works this time, and I'll be spinning in no time (Hopefully, I hear great things about them shipping to the states)

I really don't mean to keep booting this up, but I just figured I'd let everyone know my order went through, and has shipped. Yay, real poi on the way.
