Boom!
So much fun...I love a circus. I might join. First I just need a skill of some sort.
I'm already teaching myself how to juggle. It's kind of slow going though because throwing is a problem for me. That, and catching. But once I've mastered these small elements of this noble art there'll be no stopping me.
Other things to learn:
- High-wire
- Backflips, somersaults, etc etc
- Skipping (like proper skipping with flips and stuff)
- Hoola-hoop.
- Fire hoola-hoop.
Moscow State Circus had all these treats (minus fire hoola-hoop) and more and they were A-MAZ-ING! If you get a chance, go. Here are some dates for your diary.
My only criticism of the whole thing was the dancing, not just because it wasn't good, but because clearly none of them wanted to do it. Fortunately, this lasted only a minute at the beginning of the show so you can swiftly put their fixed grins and clicking out of your mind.
And then it's all superhuman awesomeness and clowns, scarily muscle-bound men in pink chiffon, overly-large shoes and audience participation (don't sit at the front if you don't want to go onstage).
So basically, go to the circus. I'm going to work on my juggling for a little... whilst doing a one armed handstand. On a carefully constructed tower of chairs.
