I am Legolas!

[icepixie]

Went to the archery thing. It was almost exclusively little kids, with the exception of me, Chandra, Ellen, a freshperson named Amanda (who is very nice and gave us a ride back from the BFEC in her car), and two other guys. But it was fun--the five targets were a little odd, though. There was a deer with his butt facing you, a ram with his butt facing you, a cougar, a turkey whose paint was almost completely rubbed off, and a very small bear. But hey, we got to shoot thirty times at them, and I got the arrows into my target almost every shot, so yay. And we got to wear really cool arm guards and finger guards. (Yes, I admit that I am shallow and was just as into the gear as I was the actual archery.) I got pictures of everyone, and Ellen got pictures of me with my camera, so hopefully if I can snag some time alone with the scanner in the library, I'll scan them.

However, I have none of the grace that Legolas, whom I was imitating, possesses. I continued my love affair with the ground on the walk down to the environmental center, and scraped up the side of my right leg pretty bad 'cause I fell on the really tiny gravel at the edge of the road. Sigh. It looks nasty, and hurts somewhat, but it'll heal. Eventually. And probably without bandaids, which entails shorts for the next few days--good thing it's warm out.

As spockette points out in her LJ, I have redeisgned the splash and index pages for my website with an actual ice-and-stars theme, and lots of quotations. Unfortunately, the mousover for my main image map will not work in any browser I try. Dammit. I'm working on it, and it may be slightly redone, but it will work. Yes. Soon.

Am completely in love with October Project at the moment. "Return to Me" and "Something More Than This" are definitely my favorite songs. They could be read without the music and still be beautiful. It's a lot like some of my own poetry that I was writing in senior year, when I was on my find-new-and-interesting-ways-to-say things kick that Mr. Brown always encouraged.

Oh, I need to see pics of you doing archery. Heh. *G*

Eeek, poor Becca. I think we've both been klutzes lately. I've just burnt myself really badly for the second time this week, doing EXACTLY the same thing. Grrr. I now have a second degree burn on my wrist, and on the pad of my thumb. Oh, joy...

Hmmm, what are you using to make your mouseovers? Have you tried the Mighty Mouseover Machine (http://builder.cnet.com/webbuilding/pages/Programming/Kahn/012898/)? It's pretty good, and always works for me...

I must download October Project. *nods*

You have to dump the ground. Seriously, he's hurting you and he's just going to keep hurting you. You can do better than the violent, abusive ground! Don't take it any more!

Huh. I think I just wrote a Lifetime Original Movie.
