I Feel Powerful...

This past Monday, I started archery classes. IT WAS AWESOME!! I had this awesome bow, and the arrows were lime green. And guess what? I (almost) HIT THE BULLSEYE!! On my first try! Sorry for all the !'s, but I'm really happy. Holding a bow and drawing it back gives you this feeling of all-powerfulness; I imagine that's what Legolas feels like, or Queen Susan from Narnia.

I have noticed in myself a strange gravitation to the ancient arts, like archery, chess, knitting, and (gasp) breadbaking. Does this mean I'm an old soul? Or that I'm too mature? Or that I'm just wierd? I personally vote for that last...anyway, I'm giving a Sparkler Shout-Out to Alygirlrockz16 because she knits!

And a non-Sparkler Shout-Out to my friend Sandy, who also knits, and plays crochet (I probably didn't spell that right).

Another NSO to my friend Gabby, who is simply awesome (if a little psycotic)

And another NSO to my friend R (I don't have permission to use her name), who is usually in cahoots with me and Gabby in our crazy capers (that is so much fun to say).

A Sparkler Shout-Out to Skyskwirl417 at BLOG because he's getting be-meaned-to by certain Sparklers (girls, we can't be mean to the dudeklers--they might leave! They should feel welcome. And we all know the Sparknotes dude/dudet ratio...happy Skwirl?)

Sparkler Shout-Out to Gummybeararmygeneral at GBBAAAR for having a totally awesome name! And for making a blog that promises gummybears!

Sparkler Shout-Out to Coffinmaker, aka Scott-Free or Scotty, at Ergo, for just being awesome, and because his blog is "gettin' busy".

Sparkler Shout-Out to zach nelson, because he has an awesomely cute baby sister!
