if you take things to seriously you will get hurt

Today we went paintballing which was ace. It meant getting up at 7 in the morning, something im not particulary fond of but definately worth it for the day we had. After getting our equipment, getting our team colours and listening to a brief safety talk we were ready to go. We were against some friends from uni but they had 2 teams of every colour so we teamed up with the other oranges and the whites teamed up with the other whites, it was ace, 16 people each side charging at each other through various scenarios.

The first few times i was shot it did'nt hurt then i recieved just above the nipple, shortly followed by one to the inner thigh which hurt like hell, i mean these things can come out at 140mph (ouch!). The most painfil game i played was a free for all at the end in which i was shot repeatedly in the back and thighs, even in the back of the head and i now have some funky looking injuries to show off. Suprsingly our team not only won the whites (who at one point had 5 people drop out of the team) but we also came top over all! certificate n all.

There were definately 3 highlights of the day at which i can recall at this moment. The first being early on when chris sneaked up behind the white base and took out 4 of their team before getting shot. The second being me shooting beki in the boob followed by my brother shooting her in the head and the elbow followed by my sister shooting her in the groin!! Last on most memorable was my brothers performance. Whilst shooting from behind a small fence chris suggested moving forward but I had already noticed my bro sneaking in from the outside, he succesfully took out the two people who were shooting at us after previously taking out 3 people, whilst this was going on the rest of the orange team raised the flag and won the game. I can't recomend it highly enough, i might try organise it for my birthday in august and get as many people as possible to come although i know some fucker will give me birthday beats by shooting me!!!
