paintball 101: don't get shot.

oh dear. my life has been rather boring the last couple weeks. but what i spent my sunday doing made up for all of that. so this guy in my group of friends (josh) likes my best friend (megan). he wanted her to go paintballing. so they dragged the rest of us along. i'm so glad they did! it was the most fun i've had in a long time. four of us were in the choir at my school so we had to sing in church that morning. after a couple pit stops (culver's and my friend (coltyn)'s house to change) we carpooled to green bay. we were in the cars in twos because josh can only drive one person. mike and i managed to get lost on the way to the paintball field. (is that what you call it, a field?) eventually we made it there. the plan was to play until the packer game started and then go over to megan's house to watch it. it was so much fun we played til 3:00! i got hit twice in the first two fingers of my left hand, once on my left knee, twice on my right thigh, once on my head (that one hurts the most) and countless shots to the face (but i was wearing a mask so no bruises). i found out the hard way that paint tastes bad. i accidentally shot one of the refs at one point as well. i'm the most sore from all the crouching and ducking. i'm kind of a wuss when it comes to that sort of thing. my fingers are the most inconvenient because i wasn't wearing gloves at the time so the edges of the paintball scraped up my fingers. they're still swollen so i can't really use my index finger for anything. paintball was so worth all of those bruises though. after that we went over to megan's to watch the game. it was amazing. i would like to take this opportunity to point out: THE PACKERS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm excited about this :) we only watched the second half but it was enough to get us excited. the game did run a little late and i had to be back in appleton for this thing my school does. it's called culture and cuisine. they do it because we have so many international students (about 50). they all make food from their own country and some of them do presentations or traditional music or dance. i was pretty late because mike and i got lost again. we had directions but we went out the driveway the wrong way and it all just went downhill from there. eventually i made it, almost an hour late. i still got to have some food though :)

all in all, a wonderful day. i'm def going to have to do this whole paintball thing again sometime :)
