Another batch of new arrivals, then. I was talking to that psychiatrist lady, and it sort of made me remember about my parents back home. About the circus, and... And I've been getting rusty. I really want to practice some new tricks, now. Did you know, my mother was the queen of the Spanish Web? [Here her voice fills with a sort of pride.] That's ( Read more... )

You still keep that little thing?

[If I had email notifs this would be a lot easier.]

helena_campbell May 26 2010, 03:52:55 UTC

Yes, I do. Actually I only got it a few months after I arrived. I don't actually know if it's the same one, but I like to think it is.

Spanish Web?

[I will put the log up soon I promise ahhhh]

[voice] helena_campbell May 26 2010, 03:57:52 UTC

Yup! You hang from a rope about twenty feet off the ground and you do some spinning and things like that. It's really hard, because you don't have a harness.

Woah! That sounds really cool!

[voice] helena_campbell May 26 2010, 04:21:39 UTC

It is, but it's also a bit strange if you ask me.

You have.. book that keeps bothering you?

[voice] helena_campbell May 26 2010, 03:58:40 UTC

The Really Useful Book. It likes to fly around a lot when I don't pay attention to it.

[voice] mother_land May 26 2010, 03:59:36 UTC

Interesting.

Never saw book do that.

I've seen quite a few, though not here in Wonderland. It's not actually that hard to imagine, though, is it?

What sort of act is the Spanish Web?

helena_campbell May 26 2010, 04:05:33 UTC

I've never actually tried it, but it's suppose to be really hard. It looks hard, anyway. You hang from a rope about six or so meters from the ground, and then you do all sorts of spins and things like that. Without a harness.

exploring_game May 26 2010, 04:10:31 UTC

Oh! So it's like a trapeze act!

helena_campbell May 26 2010, 04:12:18 UTC

Something like that, although you don't go back and forth as much. Only up and down.

"The Really Useful Book"...Who is that by?

helena_campbell May 26 2010, 04:07:09 UTC

Err, I don't think it's by anyone, actually. It must have written itself or something.

behind_destiny May 26 2010, 06:35:05 UTC

A self writing book. Don't tell the publishers or else you'll ruin an industry.

helena_campbell May 26 2010, 13:42:59 UTC

Ah, well, I don't think it'd settle on having more than one of itself, in any case. It's a little smug.
