Spring Break, pt. 1
So, I spent the first weekend of spring break in Dallas, for the birthday party of a friend I hadn't seen in a year and a half. Had fun, but I am really hurting now.
We left early on Saturday, and played paintball that afternoon.
I had never played paintball before. And I'm generally not a fan of any sort of game involving any kind of gun, but I did actually have a lot of fun. There are only two things that could have made it better: 1.) less mud, 2.) if the team we were playing against didn't have two major ASSHOLES in theirs midst.
These guys...ugh. They shot at people who were already out of the game or out of ammo, and were walking out of the playing space with their guns held up, as we're supposed to. They shot at people from less than 20 feet (that's what causes welts). They continued to play and shoot like crazy even if they had been been shot multiple times by multiple people. They just made me soooooo mad. It took everything I had to not slap this one guy before we left. I have two welts from when they broke rules to shoot at me. They're both starting to turn into bruises. The funny part? It will look like someone gave me a good spanking.
That night, we saw Alice in 3d. I'd already seen it in 2d. It was still really good.
The next morning, we all felt soooo sore from all of the running and crouching and whatnot. After leaving Rowlett just before 10:30, we made it to Waco and then decided to make a detour to the Waco Zoo. I seriously don't think that I'd been to a zoo since my age was still in the single digits. It was kinda hot, and it took us a few hours to get all the way around, but it was a lot of fun.
This morning...I just plain hurt. Dx Hopefully I'll feel better by tomorrow.
Tonight, I'm going to see a movie with C. I really don't want to, but he won't get off my back.
Tomorrow, I might meet up with Co, L, and S to discuss possibly going somewhere during the break. It was Co's idea and she seems super excited about it, but I actually don't want to go to San An or Corpus. I don't have a lot of money, I don't get paid until the Monday after spring break (and it'll only be a little more than $100), and I don't want to borrow any money from my mother since she has to pay the $100 for my passport renewal in a few weeks. Plus, I just want to relax. It's a break. It's our last break until the last day of classes, May 7th. We don't get a single day off between next Monday and then.
Other plans...hmm...American Apparel is having a flea market type sale downtown later this week. Great sales. I'm going to go with A and T. Hopefully we won't get trampled by too many insane women.
Maybe celeb hunting down on the drag. I've never been out and about while SXSW is going on, so I've never seen any celebs in Austin. I'd like to.
