Hey Everyone! My name is Alex and I'm very new to the world of poi and fire spinning. I have some friends in Seattle that got me interested in it.
I'm 20 years old and work at the MGM Grand in the Ka' Theatre as a front of house Character Actor/Usher combo known as a Gatekeeper. I graduated from Eldorado in '04 and now am a full time student at UNLV. 2 more years and I'm DONE! (hopefully). Let's see, I'm a vegetarian (No, I don't eat fish, and yes, I eat cheese and eggs). I'm very much into health foods and exercise. Another hobby of mine is running. I love to do it. Some random facts about me, I'm half Irish and half african American. In the future, i want to be performing somehow. Whether for Cirque Du Soleil/Broadway, Hollywood, I would love to continue acting/dancing. What can I say, I'm a leo and like to entertain.
Favorites:
Color: Purple.
TV Shows: Survivor, Daria, and Family Guy.
Musicians: I'm a huge Sheryl Crow fan, as well as Enya and I still like the Spice Girls. ( *gasp, I know it's sad. )
Books: Waiting for the last Harry Potter Book like the faithful nerd I am.
Movies: Spaceballs, Psycho (1960), Broken Hearts Club
Favorie ice cream flavor(s): Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

Welcome to HoP Alex!
Growing old is mandatory; growing up is NOT.
Proud member of the HoP DPS.
Sanity is a highly overrated state of mind.
I'm normal ... it's everyone else that's crazy.

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

Wow, thanx everyone for the warm welcome, I can already tell this is a group of people I'm looking forward to getting to know.
How is everyone doing today?
Since I'm just starting out, I was thinking of getting the fuzzy poi that comes with the DVD, is that a good product? Are there any better suggestions for starting off?
I'm craving peanut butter and Jelly for some reason, I think I'm going to go enjoy some at home. Have a fantastic day everyone!
