two thousand eight

september 20

This was pretty much a whole day at the paintball field. The day consisted of me along with twelve guys; Ryan Drost, Ryan Hemphill, Kyle Hemphill, Brad Cronkhite, Ben Sanders, Jarad Gartley, David [ Dave ] Foster, Zack Johnston, Mark Cleghorn and three guys I don’t know and probably won’t see again.

Mark set up an event at the field for September 20th. It was suppose to be a bunch of different teams / people going out, playing different types of games [ woods ball, airball, huts ] and it started at nine. Well.. There were three guys and Mark there at nine. Jarad was there at 10. Me, Brad and Ben got there at 11. Ryan Drost and Dave came later. Kyle came and left after sitting around for a bit. Ryan Hemphill came, I don't remember when, but he went out. Then Zack and his dad went down later on. So much for nine!

Before Ryan Drost and Dave got there, they played three on three in the village. I can't remember much of that part. After a while, Ryan Drost came and I think they played a few more rounds in village and then later more came. They split into two groups and played woodsball. The point of the game they played is for one team, the attackers, to grab the Nuke and bring it to the other team's base. What the defenders, the other team, obviously did was defend. Go around and get the other team out. They aren't allowed touching the nuke, only the ref and attacking team are. Every twenty minutes you can come back in. They had to leave the field when out and could leave the field at any time, but couldn’t go back in until the horn blew [ every twenty minutes ].

It was fun and I wasn't even playing. I just took pictures the whole time, obviously. One game, Brad and Ryan Drost had the nuke, ran out into the other base screaming and yelling. They dropped the nuke and started to dance around it, then it was just like, "Now what? Are we still playing?!" All of a sudden paint comes in two or three directions. Brad gets out, Ryan Drost just drops before taking off right into the woods.

Ryan Drost got lost twice. Dave also got lost once. He came out on one of the roads, about a 10 minute walk with a mask and a paintball gun. The guy also lost his paint twice in one game. He came out of the woods and woosh, his paint came out. Then it happened again, he just kept losing paint without even having to shot. Then near the end no one saw him and we thought he was either sleeping or got lost again. You barely saw Dave during the games.

There was another game were I was in refinery with Brad and Ryan Hemphill who were defending. With no one around we just walked around and talked. After a bit they decided to be smart, "We shouldn't be just walking around out in the open. We should hide." So they go back into the bushes and trees. I have really nothing to do, so I just walk over and talk to them. As I'm walking towards them all I hear is, "Show us your boob. Show us your boob." I walk to Ryan Hemphill and he's just lying there going, "Show us your boob". Then Jarad was there in the refinery and he knew were the other team was, but we didn't. He just stood there behind a barrel, while Ryan Hemphill was saying, "Tell me or I'll shoot you. Come on." Then Brad gets up and goes a few steps back to pee. Then someone starts shooting. The guy apparently didn't shoot earlier because he didn't want to hit me. So he just sat there waiting for them to go in deeper or me to go out a bit.

Ben was just there sitting in a tree, then Kyle comes out with a hopper covered in white paint. Then he went off to get a gun so he could play. Dave was also up in a tree one game. A bunch of the games Jarad, who was reffing that day would just sit down on the tires. I sat down on the ground a few times and at one point Jarad was sitting on a tire facing one way and I was sitting on the same one sitting the other.

Oh my, another game I went with Ryan Drost, Ryan Hemphill and Kyle. Ryan Drost and Kyle went into the woods and they got me to follow in after them. I started to go and I was only wearing a tank top, took my sweater off when the games started since it got hot moving around, and of course it was all like fur trees, branches, things that would cut bare skin. So Ryan Hemphill said he'd go in ahead of me. I still got cuts, but hurt a lot less. Well, the three of them went under this one large tree. They got me to go in under to. Then we all knew Brad was coming, got him out. Mark was coming on the other side and another guy was in there. Of course Mark's paintball missed Kyle and went through the one gap between him and the tree, hit me. All you hear from me is, "Ahh.Fuck!” I get up and go out into the refinery before heading back off the field. The paintball hit me right in the ribs. The paint went through my shirt.

There was this one game I went in the refinery with Ryan Drost, Ryan Hemphill, Kyle and Zack. They were all just kind of standing around. Three of them standing behind this little can. Ryan Drost sitting in front of it trying to get his paint back. All of a sudden paint comes out of the woods from all directions. The three behind the water can drop, Ryan Drost drops on the spot. It was funny, since the thing was pretty much only big enough to hid not even one person and three people just drop right there behind the thing while being ambushed. Then they went back into the bushes and trees. I see a guy coming up. Tell them and Ryan Drost just goes out, guy starts firing, "Oh shit! I guess I'm not going there!" Oh, there were so many other stories of the games from this day. After awhile everyone was stopping because they ran out of paint. We just sat around, talked and watched two people wrestling / fighting. After awhile Ben left. Then the other two guys, then Zack and his dad left. Me, Kyle, Ryan Drost, Ryan Hemphill, Brad, Jarad and Dave just sat in the tent talking, trying to get away from the bugs. After awhile Dave left.

By the time it was just getting dark there was then only me, Brad, Jarad, Ryan Hemphill, Kyle, Ryan Drost and Mark left. Started a fire. A few were throwing firecrackers into the fire. Me and Ryan Hemphill knew Brad threw the first one in there and no one else did, so when it went off they all jumped. Especially Ryan Drost, that guy gets scared at everything! After a bit Kyle left when we made some hot dogs. We sat around there in the dark eating and talking. Three of us sat on the back of Mark's van, me, Ryan Hemphill and Ryan Drost. The others eventually went over to the fire since it was freaking cold out and you couldn't see a thing since the only light out there is in the shed thing. We just sat there though since there wasn't anywhere over there but the ground to sit. The guys were just like, "Threesome!" Started planning it and was just like, "Mark! We're borrowing you're van." Mark didn't get it.

The three of us went over to the fire when someone got smart and said to bring the picnic table over. We sat there talking. Ryan Drost was making the fire bigger and at one point I said, "Hurry up and make the fire bigger!" Well something along those lines and he was just like, "Suck my penis!" and I just yelled back, "MAYBE I WILL!" And everyone just burst out laughing, Ryan Drost started yelling. They flipped the table on Brad once. I sat there with Ryan Drost to my right, and was leaning up against Ryan Hemphill on my left. Ryan Hemphill just looks at me, "Are you shivering?" I'm sitting there in a sweater, literally right beside the fire shaking, "Yeah.." He said he could feel me shaking. Sure it was night time, but still shouldn't be that cold in September, in a sweater, in a group and right beside a fire.

Then we all saw Mark go back a bit around were we got some wood earlier, taking off his jersey with an axe. We all stand up and turn around because we don't trust him. Ryan Drost over there with his penis out whipping it around as we wait to see what Mark does, Ryan Hemphill shines the light of his phone right on it. Oh it was funny. After a bit Ryan Hemphill and Brad went and tried to hid in the tent, me, Jarad and Ryan Drost just stood there around the fire, then Mark comes running out, axe over head, jersey covering his face. After awhile though we started heading back, around 10:15pm since my mom called like two or three times. The first time I said I wasn't leaving yet. The second time I said we were leaving, except we didn't since we just got the fire to get bigger, then she called again like half an hour or so later and we left. Ryan Hemphill drove me, Brad, Ryan Drost and Jarad back. They were back there trying to move stuff, I was cold so I was just like, "I'm sitting in the front!" Gets in and watches them. I'm so helpful!

Then about the first time Ryan Hemphill says anything in the car is, "Fuck!" We all stop talking and he said something about forgetting we had Jarad and could have just gone that way instead of out to the old highway to Main Street. Oh, well he did say something else, when we were leaving, "So, Carmen.. Fivesome?" Geez you guys. After it was dark, when we just sat around talking, I mostly heard threesome from both Ryan Hemphill and Drost. Well I love you guys anyways.

september 11

The day of the first school dance of the year. Me and Abbie walked to my house, Katelyn and Cee came over and we walked to Greco for food. Scott put way to much cheese on the thing and we made a mess because it fell apart.

fredericton - june 8, 2008

Went to Fredericton with Abbie. We each bought a bag then went and changed them with the ones we had in a bathroom. Then we both bought flip flops and changed them in the middle of Chapters. Oh and Abbie didn't hyperventilate in Wal-Mart! Ah, she also got her sock monkey. Purple one, heh.

march 26

Me and Abbie doing my gym project, hah. We finger painted. Of course Abbie made the bottle of paint fly one way and I made it fly the other and we got paint everywhere. Just not on the garbage bag Abbie was wearing!
