| | Wow, what a week!
Monday has probably been the best birthday i've ever had! (and i think quite possibly the best day any xbox gamer's ever had)
Paintballing was SICK! No other way to describe it.
I spent sunday evening in camden running around trying to find some camos for paintballing. Only found some american print bottoms but they still looked awesome so i bought em, got some extra thick socks and waterproofed my timberlands one more time. Spent the night on Perfect Dark Zero fraggin it up on live and ended up goin to bed at 2am.
Monday:
Woke up at 6pm cos i couldn't sleep. Got dressed, had some food and spent 2 hours watching new Lost eps. Got outta the house at around 9pm to meet my mate Diamond (Coung) Vu and head to High Wycombe. Now everything sounds good right? Wrong. A journey from Leyton to Stratford that was supposed to take 5 mins ended up taking half a bloody hour! Piece of advice, do NOT travel during rush hour on the central line. I had to wait as 6 trains went by, all packed with people!
So i finally get to stratford, meet Diamond and jump back on the train just as the doors are closing. Sweet, our paintball trip finally begins. We high tail it to oxford circus, then head to marylebone to catch the train to High Wycombe.
As we're walkin onto the concourse at Marylebone, our train pulls out of the damn station and i'm starting to think to myself that this day is doomed to failure. Then the message board flashes up a new announcement. "The next train to high wycombe is in 20 minutes" RESULT! Just enough time to call into college with my "plausible" excuse of being off sick. Amazingly that worked and i'd just earned a day off college. We grab some food and, after spending the better part of 8 minutes queueing up for tickets, high tail it to Platform 2 and start running for the doors. Turns out those platforms are LONG! I thought we'd made it once i reached the train and as i was about to open the doors i saw Diamond still running down the platform.
Fuck, Here's me leaning up against this out of service train waiting for the doors to open and Diamond's halfway down the god damn platform still running for the train. 2 out of service trains later we end up at the one bound for High Wycombe. Out of breath and laughing like idiots we jump aboard and relax.
After about 50 mins or so we end up in High Wycombe. I'm starting to understand its name. The station itself is precariously located in the middle of this steep hill (put it this way, i doubt there are any skateboarders in that town and if there are, they probably have a few broken limbs) and there's not a single muslim person in sight. Ah how i miss towns like that. No "Safe Blud!" or "Allah!" crap
Turns out we missed the shuttle bus that was s'posed to ferry people from the station to the event so we ended up waiting around for another 30 mins while someone from the paintball skirmish drove down to pick us up.
12:00 and we're finally there! The teams are just finishing their inductions and we're grabbing gear and buying extra munitions. Then the instructor hands us some damn coveralls. FUCK! 25 bucks wasted on camos for nothing! I. Am. PISSED!
I grab my gun and hit the first range (speedball).
To Be Continued. |
