Paintballin'

Okay, this was the most fun I've had in a long time.

Dressing up in full camo, full face mask, heading out to the woods and crawling around in deer poop trying to avoid getting one of these...


Tim and I went paintballing for the first time ever. Quite exhilarating for these two boring thirtysomethings, I must say. It's the most stupid thing to go out and shoot each other with pellets of paint traveling at 300 feet per second. A game thought up by men, that's for certain. But it sure as heck is FUN! There was only one other female there and we ended up on opposite teams. Needless to say, we couldn't shoot each other. I did end up taking a couple shots at my own teammates though. It took a while to figure out who was who in those crazy masks. Basically, if you shoot at someone and they don't shoot back, that might be a good indication that you're shooting at a teammate. Oops. Anyway...I did have a couple legitimate hits once I memorized everyones clothing and started shooting at the right people. I'm sure when we do this again, no one is going to want me on their team because I'm such a bonehead. Anyway, it was fabulous fun and not nearly as painful as I had anticipated. This side shot had a pretty good sting, and getting nailed in the back of the head was no picnic but I was envisioning myself waling on the ground in pain or losing an eyeball. It wasn't so bad. I think we just might have a new hobby.
