People say that I live in a fantasy world... where everything is peachy keen and everyone is happy-go-lucky. I don't fight, I rarely curse, and I've never touched a gun... unless you count a water gun, and I never really liked those. Where I grew up, guns were always associated with gangs and violence... but, that isn't always the case.
So, on Saturday, my co-worker's boyfriend introduced me to my first gun shooting experience. Hannah and I went to visit Andrea and her boyfriend, Adam, in Litchfield. Adam was kind enough to have us over at his family's home, where he and his dad patiently took Hannah, Andrea, and me under their wing. They taught us the basics of guns: never put your finger in the trigger hole, keep the gun in front of you, and never drop it. Adam supplied us with the guns, ammunition, target, and headphones... at least we looked the part! Hannah was a natural at hitting the target... getting to her mark over 90% of the time. Andrea did well, too... hitting the target over 70% of the time. I, on the other hand, hit the masking tape that held the target in place... including that, I "hit" my mark with a whopping 4% accuracy. I have a sneaking suspicion that I won't be called in to replace Lucy Liu for any Charlie's Angels sequels. Thank you Adam, John, and Cece, for having us... and thank you, Andrea, for sharing Adam for the afternoon!
