Rawr
Today there are so many things I am meant to be doing, but I just feel so uncredibly awful It hurts to move. I think it's a combination of paintballing, and just generally being ill, but I must of slept funny on my neck yesterday cos I can barely move it now. And you know when you have a cold and you keep waking up cos you can't breathe through your nose and are basically suffocating? Yeah I did that all last night and so I feel like I haven't actually had any sleep at all. And just genrally like my head is full of cotton wool.
So I'm just dossing about downstairs. I'm a little peeved to find out that my wireless connection doesn't exend to my big lounge, only the small one, whihc isn't half as comfortable, oh the woes of Harriet. And to think some people are complaining about not having enough food.... >:(
So yesterday we all went paintballing. I wasn't overly enthusiastic about the whole thing, for one because I have no money, and for second because anything remotely violent/dirty/wet/painty/requiring any kind of aim is not really my cup of tea. But on the other hand I hadn't seen Tanith, Colin and Josh in OMG so long. So yeah. Driving there was pretty crappy, it was pretty near Plymouth, so we had to go via the dual carraigeway, but while we on it, the actual most torrential rain I have ever seen started, and I literally could see nothing, and had to drive at like 50mph. Woah.
Paintballing it's self was pretty daunting, all the stupid stuff you have to wear, and them constantly telling you that 'if you lift your googles, you will be blinded'. They were also like 'Yeah there are 14 rounds, and you'll probably need about 50 paintballs per round.' May I just add that these paintballs were £6 for 100. As I had like no money as it was, I decided to be extra frugal with my paintballs.
Well what else can I say. The first round I was so scared that I couldn't move and didnt fire a single shot. I realised that despite all my claims, I would not survive well in any sort of Battle Royale situation, or warzone of any kind. It's kinda lucky my eyesight was too poor to join the RAF. As the day went on though, I got more into it, by the eighth round I was like 'Yeah this is pretty good'.
Then on the way to the 9th one, I lost one of my contact lenses in the mud and so I couldn't play anymore, and had to sit still for 20 minutes and not lift my mask which was slowly suffocating me. Hmmm. So that was pretty annoying. Although I only got shot once, on my knee, and it didnt bruise. So I guess that's good. And I only used like 50 paintballs all day. But there is no way I would do it again, ever. Katie Colin and Josh said I missed the two worst, most violent rounds, so I was kinda glad actually.
It did mean however that I had to drive home with only one eye, and that was actually so scary. Cos you like can't position yourself on the road properly or anything, and I was so sure I was gonna crash/be pulled over for driving with an old parking ticket over one eye. Yeah.
Tomrrow I am going to the Crown Court in Exeter with my mum, I'm pretty excited. I hope there is an interesting case, a murder or something ^.^ Then we are all going to the Spice Club for dinner (yay curry). Tanith please come, or I might not see you again :(
I dont know why, but it only just struck me today how weird Univeristy is going to be. Ashley is going today, and I guess until I read his entry I hadn't really appreciated that we don't all go to the same school anymore, and we won't be experincing the same stuff, and the same people and things. I'm not like sad about going, it's just like weird that that's completely obvious and I hadn't even thought of it like that before.
Could you all be lovely and tell me the date you are going to Uni, just so I have an idea?
And Lauren, you left your shoes and 'Mr and Mrs Smith' here on results day. Let me know if you want me to bring them round before you go I'd like to say goodbye anyway ;____;
EDIT: As some of you may or may not know, my hot cousin is in a band, called BlackThorne Theatre. You know how when sometime tells you they are in a band, you would always tell them their stuff is good even if it isnt. But he linked me their new song yesterday, and for serious I was so impressed. I think the sound like a proper band, and I have been listening to them almost on repeat since then. You should all check them out. They're pretty rocky, indyish. The fourth song (the 'Learnt from Magazines one) is especially good, Ashley (my cousin) sings the first verse ^.^ I hope they get to be famous someday so I can be like 'Yeah, that's my cousin'.
