icepixie*points to icon* Hee! I love ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
spockette! We're sharing Marina & Gwendal icons, since we're the only two people on LJ who have them listed as an interest. (Speaking of which, I'm about to make a page for the A/P icons I made a while back, so you can take as many of those as you want, Kim.)
I get to play elf today. Hee. There's a free beginning archery lesson at the Environmental Center (about a fifteen-minute walk away from campus) this afternoon, and Chandra, Ellen and I are going. Of course, the only other times I've tried archery have been at RenFairs, and I was a miserable failure, but hey, so what if I have no upper body strength? It's all good.
And with a jarring change of subject, we go to last night, and how I ended up climbing trees at almost two in the morning. So us Pezzers were watching The Dead Poets' Society in Whitney's room, which is at the complete opposite end of campus from Mather and Caples (Chandra and Ellen's dorm). Since Pez is rather a lot like the DPS, except that we tend to read our own work and don't smoke or look at pinups, we thought it should be the Pez mascot movie, or that we should at least watch it. If Centre and Kenyon had a love-child, it would look like Welton. (Which I thought was "Helton" for the entire first half of the movie, and I was like, hey, it's my name! But no.) The architecture, at least; not so much the draconic administration.
Anyway. You know the "barbaric yawp" scene? We decided to do our own yawping. In trees. (Away from dorms; no one who wasn't already awake would hear us.) Hey, it's from Whitman, Kenyon's chock-full of English majors and professors; it would fit. So first we climbed around in the upside-down tree and yawped. Then we attempted another tree near the church, but ended up having to lift each other up to barely hang on to a branch. And finally we tried this giant tree out in the middle of the church's front lawn. It has this huge branch that extends out several yards beyond the rest of the tree. It's held up by a wire, which we decided was secretly providing cable TV for the moss and lichen growing on the branch. Anyway, it looks pretty low from far away, but it's not so low when you get there. Everyone else managed to get up there in various ways, but I'm not a big tree-climber, so I stayed on the ground. Oh, and somewhere alogn the way, Ellen and Chandra stepped in a giant mudfield and ended up looking like hobbits with muddy feet. Ellen completely lost her sandals in the mud. Ooops. ;)
I think "mellow" is one of my favorite mood choices. It's like the non-apathetic-and-cynical version of "meh."

Ah, archery. I tried that once. The instructor was one of those annoyingly positive people, and I told him I wouldn't be able to hit anything. He gave me the bow and arrow anyway, and made me take my turn.
"Well, okay, you hit the ground about ten inches from your feet... at least you hit something!" Uh, yeah. If I was in Middle Earth, and the ground was attacking me, I'm sure I'd do just fine, but uh, archery is *not* for me. :o)
Dead Poets Society? Ooh. We watched that movie in English class in fourth year. Mr Bennett made us stand on our chairs and call him "O Captain, My Captain." It was, um, interesting to say the least. =)

I'm gonna upload tomorrow afternoon. Maybe tonight if I get back from ballroom in time. They're all already on my server, but I can't remember all the file names off the top of my head. I don't think it'll let you into the folder, but you can try http://www.ice-and-stars.com/icons/ until I get the page made and uploaded.

*beats head against wall* So annoying. I've never exactly had a formal lesson or anything. Even this thing wasn't formal--he told us how to hold the bow and where to put the arrow, then just let us shoot at targets. Somehow I don't think Legolas had notches on the ends of his arrows to fit to the string, 'cause if he did, there is no way he could have loaded them so fast.

Hee! Cool. We watched it at the end of the year in AP, but I don't remember ever finishing it. So good. Of course, the whole Neil thing made me sniffly because I have two RL events to associate it with now, but yeah.

It's so good. You really need to see it.

Well, I never get very far up the tree... ;)
