the whole point of showing this email
is that only 9 people turned up on the day
and we were forced to pay for the remaining people who didnt come to paintball
and no you couldnt just forfeit the deposit,
what you had to do was forfeit the deposit plus pay for 15 players
so it was like might as well play paintball
and pay DOUBLE
because of the stupidity of a guy who failed to read the confirmation letter
what a fuck of a cunt
and thats who im blaming
because i cant blame the paintball place
because they clearly stated the terms and conditions in the email
with "full" in CAPITAL letters!
im prob not as angry as i was a few nights ago
i just want to warn everyone
to read the terms and conditions before booking
or confirming something
(if you are the orgainiser, because of course you should know better)
at least make sure who is and isnt coming !

so because of this incident
i paid in total 145 bucks for paintball
when it was suppose to be 75 bucks
(not including the deposit i had to pay back to the organiser)
and now i feel broke.
and i think its understandable for me to be annoyed
because im unemployed
so sorry for the whining

but overall i enjoyed paintball
and couldnt stop laughing when i was in the battlefield for some reason
though it was hard to breathe the more i laughed
i felt like i was going to die
i have a few bruises to show off in the end
which i feel proud of
because it shows i was "active" in the field,
which i rarely am
the morning after paintball
my thighs were aching so that was telling me how unfit i am
because we didnt really do a lot of running
and today (late late monday night or tues morning) my thighs still ache
it was worse on the weekend when i had to walk down stairs
or bend my knees to sit down
i swear i looked like a cripple
