clove hitch

Skipping class to play with nylon lines and teach myself rope bondage? A brilliant idea, I think, especially since it means I'll be able to get a ride to the train station with my roommate since I won't be in class when she can take me. Priorities! I'm also justifying this to myself by emphasizing the small obligations I fulfilled today, like "well, I went to gym class, and I met with my thesis advisor-- obviously it's okay if I skip my French class and don't go to Logic, right?" Justification! Rope bondage!
