I went to the weekly hoop jam tonight, and there was a guy with FIRE POI. AND HE LET ME PLAY WITH THEM!! First he taught me a bit with regular poi (and I showed him what I've learned in my three weeks of levisticking), but as the night went on, he mentioned that he just happened to have all his fire stuff with him. There weren't any police around (we're not sure we were supposed to be spinning fire there), so he lit up for a bit and we got to spin!



It was so warm, like a spinning…  

I hooped on campus for the first time today, and it was A BLAST! There were people watching and the gardener stared, haha. Actually, no one said anything to me during it, possibly because I took a page from the "shy hoopers" thread and put on some headphones and big sunglasses.



To be honest, I was shaking when I started, almost to the point that I nearly just put the hoop down and waited for my ride in stillness. Cranking up my music wasn't helping... until I hit the "next" button…
