Just got back from paintballing. It was fun, but really tiring. Jungle Island has about 10 different fields, and the first one we played was on a hillside. So for 20 minutes we were running up and downhill. Well, I wasn\’t really running, more like hiding behind a wall. But still. Luckily the next course we played was on flat ground. It was a fairly typical rectangular field with pieces of plywood and junk you could hide behind. I got shot once in the arm. I don\’t think I hit anyone, cause after I shot I ducked back down so I couldn\’t see. My aim\’s terrible too. Real life is much harder than Quake.

With our entrance fee we got a gun, a mask, and 500 paintballs. Combined with the jumpsuits we rented, we looked like the ultimate badasses. It\’s a good thing we rented jumpsuits too, cause by the end they were really dirty. I got a stupid blue camouflage jumpsuit though. Do they actually wear blue camouflage in the military? Where do they use them, in the water?

And, of course we were playing against the hardcore dudes. They had big fancy rapid-fire guns. There were also little kids playing, and kicking our asses too. The funniest thing I saw was a guy who got shot twice in the eyes. Two bright pink splats over his left and right eyes.
