Shoelaces

If you read this blog you regularly you may have noticed that I have changed the the title and web address. I've been wanting to change the web address for ages but I only recently figured out a decent name for it.

Often, my shoes come undone and because this does happen often I sometimes just leave them undone until I have a chance to tie them. Basically, just because I notice my shoes are untied I am not necessarily going to stop and tie them up straight away unless a) it is convenient to so or b) it is a life or death situation where my shoes must be re-tied. (For the record situation b has never happened so far).

Another funny story shoelace related story happened yesterday when one of my friends decided that it would be immensely amusing to pull my shoe off my foot whilst I was lying on the couch at uni. Some how this progressed into a discussion of how people tie their shoelaces and how some people use the rabbit ears method; you know, two loops that you cross over and tie together. Other people use the pulling the loop through the hole method (or whatever you call them). I have never been able to do the second method so my aforementioned friend, whose name is Dan btw, decided to try and show me. Dan happens to be roughly 6 foot 5 whereas I am about 5"3. And there he was tying  up my shoelaces. Don't anyone try and tell me my life isn't exciting. =P

On the downside I still don't think I have mastered the art of shoelace tying. Oh well. I guess whenever I'm on here my shoelaces need never be tied.
