Wussy Paintballing. >=P

Yesterday, I went paintballing for the first time with the youth in our ward. We went at 5:30 pm, in L.A., on a Friday night. As you can imagine, however long MapQuest said it would take, it would really take twice as long to get there. We got to Hollywood Sports at 6:30. We then had to wait another hour for all of us to find each other, get our gear, and wait for the current match to end. When we got to the park, we saw guys in camoflauged Army jumpsuits, masks that looked like Master Chief, (see previous post) and paintball guns that looked like AK-47's. Our little group was wearing old college T's and hoodies, frumpy teal sweatshirts, grubbies, or Lake Michigan T's and blue jeans.

Wow.

So, when I put on the visor/helmet, I thought, "Whoa, I look like a commando," in my old, faded striped T-shirt, and faded, ripped-at-the-knees blue jeans.

?

So, we went into the instructional video kiosk, and found 10 minutes later that it was out of order, and that we needed to go to the next one down.

>:[

The video had intsructions like, 'Don't look down the barrel', 'don't bring drugs', 'don't take off your mask', and 'most importantly, just have fun.'

Gimme a break.

When we finally headed to the playing field, it was 8 freaking o'clock. The place was closing at 9 freaking o'clock. The administrator said we'd get to play two freaking games.

Grr...

When we started the first game, my heart was close to thumping out of my chest. I was breathing so hard that my visor fogged up in 2 minutes flat.

(:O

It was dark, my visor was fogged up, and the only distinquishing factor between teams was a dinky little piece of pink ribbon.

!!!

I was up in the sniper tower with a couple of teammates, when they started shooting at something. They were a couple of feet away. I had a better angle. I popped off a few rounds at the guy, then he shot a whole round at my face, but I ducked quick enough to see the ball with a smoke trail whizz above me, and smack into the tin wall across from me. Holy crap. I then found a little hidey hole, an opening between the tin sheet and the board holding it up, stuck my gun in it, popped off a round or two, and he ran away. However, I still hadn't plastered anybody.

>:I

After that round, I was totally fogged out I lika do da cha cha, I didn't even know who won, my adrenaline was making me jittery (I think I was a little shell shocked), and it was really dark.

This round, I just sat in a bunker trying to wipe off my visor without taking off my mask.

:/

It was fun, tiring, and adrenaline-filled, but everyone agreed we ought to do it again, but in the middle of the day.

I Beat Halo 3

Yes, I have beaten the final game in the Halo trilogy. It was freaking awesome. I'm gonna go back and do it again.

Go Figure.

Your Thinking is Concrete and Random

You are naturally inquisitive and curious. You're excited by new ideas, and you are a true independent thinker. You are interested in what is possible. You like the process of discovery. You are often experimenting, challenging old ideas, and inventing new concepts. Rules, restrictions, and limit don't really work for you. You have to do things your own way, and you can't be bothered to explain yourself.

What Kind of Thinker Are You?
