flying home today...that will be nice, but sad. i hate how i'm always leaving someone, no matter where i go. but that's ok.
yesterday, the guys got me and margo to go to the archery range. sca (society of creative anacronisms) does free archery things every tuesday and thursday. now that i think about it, i guess i kinda knew that, but i never knew where the range was and wasn't really interested enough to figure it all out. in any case, i went with the guys and it was super fun! i'd never shot anything before, so i was kinda intimidated, but there was a lady who went over all the safety things with us and picked out bows for us and taught us how to stand and hold the bow and all sorts of other useful things. i was amazed at the amount of power it had...i was afraid my arrows would all go 3 feet from me, but i actually hit the target a good amount of times, and hit the gold (the center) twice. of course, a lot of my shots hit the hay bale (or, worse, missed the hay bale entirely and i had to go fetch them from behind the bale!), but it was so cool, and such a good feeling to actually hit the target! and the range master was kinda cute and really flirty and decided he was gonna stand behind me and comment on my shots and that was fun, too. he even got margo and my arrows for us when they went all the way behind the bale. one of the other people asked him why he was behind the bale if he didn't shoot anything there, and i said, "oh, it's 'cause we suck and he pities us," laughing, and he said, "no, it's 'cause you're cute." heh. i like how that works.
so here i am, lounging around, passing time. i'm glad i got to come here for a couple of days. it's been pretty great and regardless of where i work, i definitely have to visit san diego and all my friends here very often.
