Ok, I tried this last night, and I hope no one will think it's too lame to post here....
Anyway, I did a self tie, in which I tied my ankles togeher, then tied a second rope to my ankles, and it had a little noose-type ending on the oppisite end. So I put my hands behind my back, and slipped my hands in the noose. I straightened my legs which made the noose go taut, and I was pretty much tied up! but, I could still bend my knees and straightened them, so it didn't feel really tied up. And I was able to free my hands after a few minutes. It just seems it should have taken longer.
I have a friend who is coming over a little later to tie me up for real. Still need a bf for this tho!
