So, my weekend was extraordinarily awesome. I went down to Luther, a little town by Ames, for a little get-together for a bunch of kids 15-20 something. The people's house that organized this get-together were fairly well-off.

They had a nice plot of land where they had a big speedball-type field set up for paintball. The paintball down there was great. I had an awesome time. I started off kind of badly, but then I started getting the feel of it again after a 3-year break. After we paintballed, we went back up to the house and ate...sweet corn? I think. I don't know, I can't really remember. Then after we ate, we sat around and talked for a little bit, deciding what we'd do next. It was either football or swimming. We all decided to go play football first, so we got all hot and sweaty and it'd feel even better when we jumped in the pond.

So we did that, changed, and went down to the pond. It was a small, shallow pond, but it was awesome for swimming. They had a little homemade diving board, made of two-by-fours, and out in the middle of the pond was a big square made of wood covered with carpet with a trampoline sitting on it.

After jumping off a few times, we decided to take the trampoline off and play king of the raft. We had maybe 15 people on this raft, and then we'd just go at it, throwing people off left and right. After about an hour of that, some of the people wanted to go down to the river and play volleyball (they had a volleyball net set up in the water).

So, while they went down to the river, about 7 of us stayed around and played king of the raft for about another hour or so. At about four-thirty, we all piled in one of our friend's Jeep Cherokee and headed down to the river. We got down there, and it was just incredible. Not as in beautiful, but it was just perfect. All the "sissies" played volleyball, while the rest of us waded out to see how deep it got.

We didn't go very far after we couldn't touch, because the current was incredibly swift. There was no rocks or anything on the bottom, it was all sand or clay. We all knew it was coming, so we just started it right away. Most of us just started launching clay and sand at each other. It was great fun.

So, then we headed back up to the house to shower and eat. BUT, my clothes just so happened to be at my sister-in-law's family's house. So, I had to wait until AFTER supper to shower. BTW, we had pizza for supper.

So, while they all say around and chatted, I ran out to the shower house when I got my clothes, and showered real quick. When I got done, they were all heading down to the field again, so I got my pants on and ran down there, and enjoyed a nice game of normal old paintball. The only difference was that we had to get hit three times to be out of the game. If you were hit, you would just go back to where you started. We totally dominated the first round, but we didn't know they were all out, so, we kept going, and three new people come out onto the field. Two were chicks, and one, I don't really know, I didn't see him.

The two chicks just got SMASHED. We absolutely crushed them. It was an awesome time. We didn't really feel like carrying everything we had down there back up to the house, so we just threw it into a trailer, and pulled it back up there with a truck.

So, after that, we head up to the house, sit around. talk, eat, etc. At about midnight or so we head out to where we sleep. So we get there, and the girls had gone through everyone's bags and hung their boxers up on the ceiling fans, and they STOLE OUR MOUNTAIN DEW!

So, normally, we just went and got some more. Then we went to sleep. I'm not one to fall asleep real fast, especially after I've had two cans of Mountain Dew.

So I'm just laying there, thinking, and BOOOOM!! A thunderstorm. Yay. Good thing EVERYTHING that we used for paintballing was still outside, in the trailer, with nothing over it. I just ignored it, knowing that everything would be fine, because I'd already ran out of paint. So we get up in the morning, and it's just POURING. We have a meeting (church thing, don't ask), and then we all go out to the other house to go eat. Then me and my sister-in-law go back to her house and I "pass-out" and the couch for a few hours. I wake up, we go eat at pizza hut, and we drive two and a half hours back home.

All in a all, it twas an awesome time.

So, that's why I haven't posted in the last two days.

EDIT: Fixed for you whiners.
