woo hoo! rock climbing is brilliant!

went to the castle and had the most amazing time. instructors are *hot* (and flirty, but that’s probably just a perk of the job!) and very capable. the place is very young and hip feeling with great music and lots of cute boys. some girls, but still good odds for me!

after we got the boring saftey-schmafety stuff out of the way, we got to start climbing, and (of course) I went first. what a rush! but it’s also very tactical, and you have to think about two steps ahead, so you kind of “zone”, and then you have to let go and make a grab for something out of reach and there’s a spilt second where you think you might fall, and your heart is jumping, and then you are at the top looking around and down, and your feet feel all tingly, and you are chock full of adrenaline, and you feel like you can do anything!

why have I not done this before?!?

then you have to do the stoopid belaying for other people, which is boring. and let’s face it – I am not very good at “taking turns”. i’m just being all antsy until i get to go back up again.

can’t wait til next week. one more thing crossed off the “101 thing to do before i die” list.

in other news, i have a cold. which i am sure you didn’t care to know, but there you go.

(oh, by the way. don’t bother clicking on the music links below, as my server won’t let me put mp3s up, but I am looking at transferring this site anyway…)
