aftermath

So from Monday through to the morning of Wednesday, some friends and I were up in Echuca for Erol's 18th playing paintball!

The travel wasn't that bad, took a bus up and back which was only a bit under 3 hours, but if we took the train it would have taken 4 :S We stayed at some random motel there, and we payed for 2 rooms, but cramming 20 people in there for the 2 nights. Fun. It got really dirty, and it was really really loud, and a little crowded, but otherwise it wasn't too bad. Oh, and did I mention I lost a sock. Just one sock. That kind of annoyed me, but meh it could have been worse.

Paintball itself was really fun! We took 2 maxicabs to Moama, which is right next to Echuca, except for the fact that Echuca is in Victoria and Moama is in New South Wales. Cab ride was only 15 minutes to the paintball place, but when we got there, it took ages to get started because there were some forms that we had to fill in since we were under 18. Once it got started however, it couldn't have been more fun. Even though the paintballs were pretty expensive, they were worth it. I was being cheap, and hid in the areas with the most cover, and had an opening big enough for me to stick the tip of my gun through and shoot at will :D
My best shots were probably when I hit Richard in the balls with a yellow paintball, so that when he took his overalls off, there was a big yellow stain on his crotch, when Richard turned around after I hit him in the balls and I shot his ass, and when I shot John in the leg through a small hole in the wall. (:
The worst I got hit was definitely when I was hit in the back of the head. Caught me by surprise and it hurt a lot. D: Other than that I didn't really get hit much, since as I said before, I was being cheap.

When we came back to Melbourne however, I think I got a little sick. Blocked nose and sore throat, but I'm getting better. I also have one bloodshot eye which is kinda odd, but ohwell.

It's a good thing my Gundam game came though. Ordered it a while back, and it came as soon as I got back from paintball. Good thing is, is that no-one else has it, so I can play it around my own schedule, unlike dota or starcraft 2. Since I was sick today, I used the day to rest up, and just relaxed by playing Gundam or nap or stuff like that. It was quite nice. (:

And to finish up, I'll leave you all with the quote of the day for 7/7 :D

"Gifts allow us to demonstrate exactly how little we know about a person."
