but it didn't impress the girl

Getting the feeling Leanne wasn't too impressed with my little argument yesterday. Not the fact of it, the content. She hasn't come right out and said anything, but I'm getting a pretty clear vibe. Maybe I should have been warned by the archery thing, but it never occurred to me to see archery as a form of violence. I mean it's ... well, you know ... Robin Hood and his merry men; it's medieval.

Yeah, I know, kinda naive of me. I guess I was so taken with the whole meditation thing; I mean that's how it was for me. And it's romantic, isn't it? Not in the hearts-&-flowers sense; in the knight-doing-heroic-deeds sense. I assumed it was the romantic aspect that attracted her.

I over-analyze things, don't I? What does it matter why she was attracted to archery, and if she maybe disagrees with me on the war against terrorism? I mean, it's not as if I'm really that black-&-white myself; it's just I have this complicated relationship with violence.

But the point is, we're just going out, right? We're not talking about a lifetime commitment here. So, live and let live, right?
