yay fun start to a fun week.
okay lets see. we all (Hex, Jaiko, Kiran, Me) ended up meeting at my apartment and then driving to the range in two cars instead of four.
it ended up being public range day. both handgun ranges and the rifle range were open to public, but with range officers and tight regulations and shit.
HOWEVER! the 200yd range was members only and also empty. we moved up halfway down the range and either lay down or stood to fire. no chairs :( but no other people either :). in totaly I fired 4 rifles and a shotgun. Kirans AR (fired before), Kirans .22 (my favourite due to lack of recoil and scope for better aiming), Hex's shotgun (ouch: lotsa recoil), Hex's SKS, Hex's Single Action Remmington (heavy!).
it was a lotta fun. Hex related a lil more with Kiran than with me. what with both of them being gun nuts. but after he and I lft Nick and Kiran to get a bite to eat after shooting, we got to talk some. it was good, talking came easily. I was a lil nervous about "what if Im super attracted to him? what will happen?" but it wasnt really a problem. but yeah we talked easy, which is always nice because awkward silences are weird. Im glad he had fun tho. I had fun too, albeit a slightly sore shoudler from the guns with more recoil.
Im slightly curious what his thoughts on me were. but I didnt wanna ask him in person cuz its easier to tell people that sorta thing online, without them right there.
after that I got Kiran to help me move the last heavy shit. then he went to take a nap and I proceeded to unpack. my kitchen and bathroom are toally done. even walked to Rite Aid to get a shower curtain. I got a lot of my non-hanging clothes into the closet, the DVDs onto my TV stand. it used to be a shoe rack, but with a walk in closet, and half the shit that was in my old closet, they can go on the floor just fine.
then I got a call from Jaiko, who invited me to Boulder Sketch nite at Dennies. furries. a good deal of them. a few I recognized from either Fort Fur or Kahuki and Ivans.
I showed all my art, since Jaiko told me to bring ALL of it (2.5 sketchbooks and a short unfinished comic).
it was pretty popular, Im expecting a few more watches on FA.
after that I hung out with Phil. he came and saw my new place, then we went off to a family barbeque. his family. somewhat extended. didyouknow?: Phil has a cousin with my exact name ie, he goes by both Andrew AND Andrés hes also 6; funfactnumbertwo: my father is also named Phil.
Phil's family fed me. food was pretty good. three meals a day?! what is THIS? I had a sandwich at dads, then Tokyo Joes with Hex, and now a BBQ with Phil?
on the one hand they fed me. on the other hand, theyre family:
Andrew's parent fanagled Phil and me into taking Andrew and a few other teenage relatives to the County Fair. it was my first time going to it. also, I'd never ever been to the fair before, ever.
I got Phil to go on the big ol' upside down hammer typpe ride with me (because I have that kind of power). yeah it not only goes upside down, but upside down at something like 6 stories. now I love heights, a lot. Phil hates them, a lot (like I said, I have power).
and heres todays QotD:
Phil: "If you love me you'll let me go"
Me: "If YOU love ME, you'll let me see you cry"
now you may be saying "wow Andrew, you are evil." but Phil is too. he once wire whipped a guy for no reason at boyscouts, he recounted the story and it was amusing.
we've decided his fursona is a nazi labrador.
hes a nazi, so he's evil.
but hes a labrador, so hes loveable and stupid.
hehe, after the two rides I went on, I had a headache bordering on nausia. I wanted to be away from the 6 year old and go home. which I eventually got. we were gonna watch a movie, but we went to the fair instead. we got to my house and talked for a while, snuggling gently. I wanted to get online, LJ about my day, and chat a lil, so he didnt end up sleeping there with me, but I will sleep there again tonight.
fun day.
I see Sam tomorrow
and on Thursday Huksy comes out to see me for a weekend ^_^
this is gonna be a good week.
PS: about Michael.
Michael: the one guy I REALLY dumped. after a couple months in prison with me having no idea where he was, he suddenly reappeared and acted like nothing was wrong. like my whole world HADNT gone upside down.
I was upset. and I couldnt take the emotional pain he'd caused me. Id already given him a second chance after breaking then mending my heart in the same night. but I was fed up. I said goodbye... forever.
or so I thought.
Zach's death caused me to think about Michael. he wasnt dead. I had considered the possibility when he disappeared, but I hadnt assumed. I let go of him. it was hard, but I let him go. him reappearing turned my world upside down. and when he acted like nothing had happened, it hurt. I couldnt take it.
after Zach died, I wanted to reconnect tho. Michael wasnt dead. I cant take that for gtranted. I eventually found an email by him I hadnt deleted (it was before I got Gmail that I knew him, the email was in my MSN mailbox still) which luckily was his MSN passport too. so I added it to my contact list and got back in contact. he said he deserved what I did to him. sometimes when I tried to explain to other people they think I was just being a huge dick. so yeah, Im gonna talk to him now... again.
PPS:
Damien called Boulder part of Denver, I said it wasnt. he said no Boudlerites think it is, because we are all elitists but it is. and so he looked it up on wikipedia:
"The following outlying communities may be popularly associated with the [Denver] metro area, but according to Census definition are part of the separate Boulder Metropolitan Area:
Boulder - Lafayette - Louisville ... Boulder is often considered to be a part of metropolitan Denver, and was included in previous Census definitions of it, but is now defined as a metropolitan area of its own, consisting solely of Boulder County."
HAH! I like being right ^_^
also note: HE is the one who proved me right. I was just gonna shrug and agree to disagree ;3
