Single staff and fear

The bicycle continues to hang in the status of not-quite-finished. *sigh* Hopefully this Monday...

BUT!!! Last night at Burn Club I spun fire for the second time. This time, a single staff - four foot. It was surprisingly comfortable. I'm actually more scared of the unlit staff then I am of the lit staff, which is... a little disturbing. I spun it effectively, too. Two handed-moves to start and then some one-handed moves. It felt good. Didn't quite get the palm-spin over my head, because my hand was sweaty on the metal, but I was able to dance a little and I got words of praise for that. I reiterate: it felt good. Spinning the two staves was a rush, but this was fun.

Must go shopping. I need to rummage in my father's tools, and then I need to acquire some empty paint cans for fuel.

And at some point today, some writing by golly or else I will spontaneously combust.
