Ambitions

I went with my best friend and her family to the Renaissance Festival held each year in Arizona. While there I had the chance to break out my rusty high school archery skills. I wasn't really aiming because my overall goal was to simply get the arrows to stick in the hay bales. It went surprisingly well. I suddenly became aware of a childhood fantasy I didn't know I had until that moment. I want a bow and arrow. I have even started looking at one online. I'm working on purchasing a new camera lens too, so I will have to pace myself, but the bow is definitely on my list. The timing of this realization is unfortunate, however, because everyone I tell about my new self discovery automatically thinks that I am simply wanting to emulate a fictional character from Hunger Games. Truth be told I have never read the books or seen the movies but I am unfortunately being miscategorized as an obsessive fan. At least I don't braid my hair (because that is apparently another big thing from the series). My new plan is to focus on the camera lens first so by the time I have the money for the bow, the craze should die down enough to allow me to carry out my genuine childhood fantasy with dignity.
