Fun for aspiring Dr. Evils.

Today was "funny sports day" at school. Which I originally didn't intend on going to. But a friend asked me to tag along and I did.
And I don't regret it one inch.
Who knew paintball could be so much fun? It was completely free, so even though I was terrified of the whole idea, I agreed to join an all girls team to fight a team of rather pansy boys.
Whoooo! I was the last one standing of my team when it was down to a one-on-one between me and a really tall dude.
Well, I didn't really stand much chance because I'm a fraidy cat and hid behind the first obstacle I could find. And stayed there the whole match, peppering the surroundings with paint balls.
Aim? Err... Awful. I wasn't wearing my glasses either, and being a bit near sighted, it made it hard to aim properly. I mean, I could see orange things moving around, but half of them were my own team *LOL*
But boy, what a rush! It was too cool for words! And totally harmless. I got hit, but it didn't hurt at all.

Oh, and I tried to beat the world record in screaming the loudest. I meassured in at 118 dB, together with a friend. The people doing the recording actually stepped back. *evil laughter*
They were surprised that we could get such a reading when considering how high-pitched I screamed.
Now my throat hurts... ow.

Been looking around for a new car today also. Online, that is. Pea is still running, but I dunno for how long. She makes squeaky noises when doing left turns now. And all the time if we have someone riding with us.
I did a little research on how other Fiestas of that age compare to Pea considering the mileage, and... well... she's been around, you know. 640 000 km since 1986. I'm not even sure that's right, because 250 000 km was the highest number on the rest of the 1980s Fiestas I found. It could be, of course, that the meter has run amok, but it doesn't look like it. Which if it really is right, means Pea is an extrordinary old lady. And the engine still runs like clockwork. It's all the other stuff that starts to go haywire. Too bad, because I love the simplicity of Pea's lines and whole interior. She's a purty car, even if she is old.
It's just that now when I start to distrust her more and more... I have a feeling she won't last much longer. She has probably not been used much the last couple of years. I know mum didn't drive much with her anyway. And now that we take several longer trips with her, the deterioration has accelerated.
Bah... I want another Pea. I don't want some ugly car with all round edges and no real room inside. I want Pea.
