The last time I went home, I found a chineese jump rope in my room. I decided to do some string figures with it. I found that I could only remember one, cup and saucer. There used to be 2 I could do off the top of my head: that one and witch's broom. I tried for like half an hour to get witch's broom but I just couldn't get it. I knew I had a book on doing string figures (it was a phase, ok?) but I either donated it or packed it away in a box. Anyway, I didn't want to try to look. (tangent: which reminds me, I should look into a storage space rent place for all of those boxes)
Somehow I got reminded tonight of that little frustration. I did some research online. While I did find it, it wasn't the way I learned. I couldn't find it anywhere. I then found some homeless shoe strings in my closet and practiced on those. I finally managed to get my beloved witch's broom the way I remembered it. I also remembered owl's eyes.
It's the little things that make a person so happy.
