oh- that I knew...I was simply pointing out to the sheer randomness of saying "freedom" right then and there

[Cobra5]

Oh... that's why I didn't understand. I never saw braveheart.

[Tassatul]

But . . . you . . . Braveheart-non-seer!

And this is a bit late, but theres a Camp Tuscarora near where I live in NY, but thats more for Boy Scouts than anything else.

[copyKatt]

well, ive never been to a summer camp ever before. not for religion or band or anything like that. they sound like alot of fun though

[Cobra5]

Summer is for being lazy. If there was a lazy camp, I might get around to thinking about going, but to my knowledge, there isn't. Then again, I havn't checked. I'll do it later.

*steps can be heard echoing in the distance*





*a dark familiar sillouette approaches*




*He's wearing sunglasses and a tropical shirt, he has a beach towel in one hand, and a martini in the other*



*He takes off his sunglasses. You notice his eyes have dark heavy bags under them, but still has a huge grin on his face. His skin is even more tanned than before. He begins to speak*




I'M BAAAAACCCCCKKKK!!!!
;D ;D ;D


Man! Do i have a bunch of stuff to tell you guys! Where do i start? Holy cow, what an adventure I've had this week! So much to say! So much to say!!! Grr, aah, my head is spinning with memories! Must tell you all! WOHOO! I AM BACK, I AM BACK! ;D

Dudes! For those who didn't know or forgot, i went on a week long cruise on one of the coolest ships ever! This thing was HUGE! And we left from the port of New York City! We went to Port Canaveral, Miami, Nassau, and the BAHAMAS baby! I'll post a picture of my ride in the ROTW thread and maybe disperse tidbits of my vacations in the proper threads. But the ship man, the ship was so great, it was like you didn't even need to leave the thing. It was the biggest ship in all the ports we entered. It had everything you ever needed and the cabin kicked arse. And lets talk about house keeping -- these guys really know how to keep things clean. And they do things so fast as well. Heck, i get up 3 in the morning to go to the bathroom and when i turned back, my bed was made! Lol, just kidding, but thats like how fast they were. Always well kept. They even set the beds before you go to sleep, lol. And the FOOD! Its like eating all the time! Nonstop! And guess what -- ITS FOR FREE! lol, well kinda, all of it is payed for in the ticket price (which was like a $1000 per person...). But you could go to any restaurant in the ship (and there were like over a dozen in the ship. Thats right, IN the ship) and order whatever you wanted from the menu -- and order more -- and more -- and more, and not get charged! You could have 5 deserts if you wanted. Heck, if you wanted 10 main courses, go right on ahead! And you could eat whenever you wanted! So its like "you hungry? Lets eat" like every 5 minutes, lol. Oh, oh! And i went snorkeling for the very first time! Swimmin' with the fishes, hehehe. That was AWESOME!!! And the beaches, holy cow the beaches! Water so blue, so clear... sand so white, so soft under your feet... It sucked when we came back to New York and saw the brown water. I luuuuvvvv the tropics! But it was so hot... thats probably the only bad part. But the dances on the ship were even hotter, hehehehehe. Oley, oley, oley, oley, its gettin' hot hot hot, lol.

oh man...so exhausted... Lets see if i can tell you more later on. Until then, good job in reading my long post ;D

[copyKatt]

yeah, i went on a cruise once, but that was a real long time ago. i always loved how absolutly everything on the boat was included in the ticket price. you just kinda walk around and do whatever you want all day ;D. and that boat you went on sounded real top notch, but 1000 bucks a pop is kinda steep. well then again, might as well go all the way if your going to go at all. lucky dog, the tropics sound great... i went snorkling for my first time a couple years ago too. thats so much fun! im hoping on getting my scuba licence sometime soon too, i tried it out at my aunts house this summer. that semms like it would be really fun too.

Played paintball. I wondered what paintball was like, so my parents drove me over and threw me into a total warzone (Read: Paint grenades, Paint Mines, Paint Machineguns) with a 30 dollar pump-action paint gun and low-qual ammo. My first action was to run to a bunker, shooting crazily at the enemy, calling "Cover me!" to my teammates, who did actually help and provide cover fire. Ended up with a few welts. My last game, it came down to me and another guy. It also came down to me being out of CO2 and him have a newly-reloaded and re-aired machine-paintgun. As I tried to shoot at him, he unleashed a hail of paintballs, most of which hit my facemask.

[copyKatt]

yeah, i went paintballing a couple days ago too. my dad had to leave early so i got to use his totally kick butt gun. it started as a normal 98 custom, but its got all this nifty stuff like a flatline barrel and a response trigger. i actully still have a couple welts on my arm. someone else had an automatic gun too, i have a whole line of bruises on my back...

[Coral]

musta been a paintful night, eh?

[copyKatt]

lol, nah, after you've been playing for about a year and a half, paintballs feel like nothing more then beestings!

okay, well in reality they hurt like a mother, but only for a little bit. espically when your playing with some guy who can use is flatline like a frikin sniper rifle and nail you right where you happen to have no protection. like right between the knuckles and the back of the neck. thise ones are the ones that huet the most

[Coral]

I got hit right on the knuckle, and the my gun was hit, and about right where my cheek is on my face mask was hit. All within a second of moving out of cover to shoot.

[copyKatt]

yeah, knuckle shots are a pain. and so is getting hit in the mask. when you get hit in the visor, you gotta sit there and wipe it off for ten minutes and still have your mask all blurry, or you get it in the mouth, and that stuff tastes so gross. blek.

[Dr. Dan]
