Ready, Aim, Fire!
Monday, June 7th, 2010So this weekend I decided I wanted to learn how to shoot a gun. Not ever having done so, the whole thing intrigued Me and I will admit to wanting to overcome My personal anxieties about firearms. My family never kept them; sport shooting, hunting, etc weren’t
hobbies any of the men in My family partook of.
Lucky for Me, squire is fluent in firearms. So guess what he got to so this past weekend? he had the honor and priviledge to take Me to the shooting range, offer Me instruction on safety and techniques, and rent Me a gun to use for practice.
he was even obedient enough to take a picture of Me in the process! I was rather impressed by that, as I had really mentioned it in passing that we should take pics while we were there, and lo and behold what did I get delivered to My phone a little later that evening?
Gotta love it!
My hand, unfortunately is very sore from the recoil on the weapong itself, and I’m sad to report that My targetting needs a ton of practice. I have to learn to relax into it more and stop anaylzying Myself in the process. Seems I’m as hard on Myself as I am My devotees. But that’s only because I hold Myself to high standards, as I expect to be treated accordingly. 
I was quite proud of one particular target however, so I kept it for posterity. Mind you, again, I haven’t EVER picked up a firearm before this, so I was rather proud of My progress initially. I realize it will take more practice and look forward to going back soon enough to do just that!
I don’t remember now which target number this was, and one of the ones after it, in My frustration for missing completely, I hit the ring around the bullseye itself….but this one I was still very pleased with, all things considered.
Needless to say, I loved it and very much want to continue this new skill! Just have to remember advice I give to prospects…just breathe. Trust yourself, relax and breath. Good thing I’m patient as all hell! *winks*
In addition to that, I also managed to skin My own thumb in the process. Apparently My nail was just long enough, and was jagged from being snagged, and every time I pulled the trigger I managed to scrap off a little more skin on that first box of ammo.
Had to resist the urge to stick the finger into My mouth and ‘clean’ it. There was a pretty decent amount of blood, but with the dust from firing and what not, I didn’t think it the best idea.
Band-aid was located and use for the second box and that improved things some.
squire and I then spent the rest of the day shopping, even though he was exhausted from lack of sleep. his natal day is coming up fairly quickly and I really need to figure out what to get him for it.
Anyway, going to watch the mindless drivel that is “True Beauty” and relax before heading to bed. Just wanted to post about My lovely little outing this weekend.
Til later -

t was the rainy Florida weather or just this headache that’s prevailed most of the afternoon. Regardless, The Tudors are on tonight so I’ll stay up to watch that. Gotta love Me some Jonathon Rhys Meyers. Yummy. Henry Cavil isn’t that hard on the eyes either. Rather partial to him. Gotta love it when men look delicious in period clothing. Not an easy thing to do, mind you. Most men look rather foolish. But there are some that are simply divine. This would be two of them.
First and foremost I would like to offer My personal thanks and gratitude for any and all who have worn a uniform. Today is US Armed Forces Day after all, and My appreciation for the men and Women who had made the ultimate decision to serve their country is unlimited.
Let Me start off by saying that beyond anything else, I would happily sign up to have Robert Downey, Jr.’s babies. Yes. He rocks while you suck. you know you’d happily suck his cock for Me too if you were ordered (and assuming he’d be game for it as well, of course.) The movie itself was very enjoyable. I go into these things expecting a good action flick. The fact that it has some very high quality actors in it from Downey, to Paltrow, to Cheadle and Rourke doesn’t hurt it one iota.
Now, I’m not huge on the whole Princess thing. I generally despise princesses. My exceptions to that are Belle (since she’s not really a princess but a highly intelligent, well rounded Woman) and Ariel. The two odd-ball princesses. Go figure.
