Favourite Hobbies

[Khola aka Bee]

I think I have found SEI mecca.

Glow twirling in the dark, mid-party to angsty old-school Linkin Park.

I'd never thought to talk about it here before, but I was a member of Westside Circus for two years. My faves were fire twirling, aerials (cloud swing) and a few contortions as well.

If you ever want a tranquil-yet-emotion-filled pasttime, I highly reccommend learning to twirl, then twirling in the dark in time to the music with glo pois and putting on some intense music.

Perhaps it just enhances introvert stryfe/style, but the sensation is like OMGSH!

Not to mention, people are entranced by it and you can help them learn and create mucho fun and happy with it

So, what are your favourite hobbies, my fellow Alphas?

Now I will go in search of youtubes to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

I also like listening to more quiet alternative music while suspended by cloud swing- however I don't get the opportunity anymore.

*sigh*

I miss the circus today.

I'm a poker nut. So I guess that falls under gambling.

That list made me laugh. I have dabbled in many of those at one time or another. I just dabble, lose interest, then forget about it.

Haha. I know. This is the list of things that I am currently interested in. I have left off things that I no longer pursue.

But yeah I came to the conclusion a few months ago I gotta limit that for right now. I gotta finish school. Turning 24 tomorrow, it kinda sucks with all the people I started college with have graduated, and I'm the oldest dude at the parties now. I can't be that guy. You know the 30+ year old dude still hanging around campus.

LINKIN PARK IS BIG ON MY LIST

I used to angst to them in my youth.

[Khola aka Bee]

Angsting in youth is far less superior to full adult SEI angst

To anser q on p.1, I started at Westside Circus via a drama teacher at my school in yr.10, was there 2000-2002, and then a stint in 2004. I had major foot surgery between then, hence the break. I so wanna go back!

It's a non-travelling, non-animal circus, so I can work it around things, but if we did shows we needed like two months off. My fave was performing at the Melbourne Fringe Festival in a show called Urban Heroes. It was about a boy who had a dream about superheroes and their day-to-day lives, and how it turned into a crazy nightmare. Wicked stuff!

I'll see if the website has pics...

[Khola aka Bee]

Found one on their site!!!

I'm the one in the middle, although it was like......7 or 8 years ago!

That is awesome! If there were an official Alpha poster (like a movie poster, but all about Alpha), this would be the image. Ha!
