Things that happen when you join in the circus…
You buy clown noses and rubber chickens for work; you accidentally smack your head (full force) against someone else’s on more than one occasion; you randomly spot fabric burns and bruises on strange parts of your body and wear shorts without caring that it looks like you fell down a flight of stairs every day for a week; your feet are always dirty; you inspect the ceiling of every building you enter to see if it has rigging possibilities and can judge the height just by looking at it; every part of your body, including your face, has come into contact with someone else’s crotch at some point with no intention of having “relations”; you have the strange need to climb on everything
I asked my circus peeps to comment on this on Facebook and the conversation immediately turned to farts and spandex…so there’s that too haha, but here’s what else they said…
You never have to buy pants again; you hear music in terms of whether you can perform to it; you learn to eat “unusual” things; you’re most surprised when something doesn’t have glitter on it
And of course they posted some adorable cheesy things too…
You look around and realize how damn talented all your friends are
You meet some of the best people of your life
Awww barf :D

I <3 this post. Although I'm not an aerialist, I can definitely relate, especially for buying rubber chickens and clown noses, finding fabric burns, and having the strange need to climb everything.
