to finish this fight

and so yeah

.

Well, I went to Stephen's this evening. KP went too. It was kinda cool 'cause Kennth & I arrived @ almost the exact same time. The first thing we did was preview the new cd player that I (("I" meaning Devin & Dad... I did hold the flashlight)) finally put in. Anywayz, after the sound system demo we all proceeded to pull out "the goods." I brought Walther, the .357, and the paintball gun Stephen had lent me ((along w/ paintballs & CO2)); Stephen pulled out his bb gun & his bow; Kenneth... he brought himself... and HALO. After pulling out our accumulated armory, we put up a couple boxes and cans and took turns w/ each gun shooting the cans. Stephen also for some reason put up a piece of plywood. I shot that w/ the bow. I actually hit it about half the time; cool considering the distance and bad condition (and lack of points) of the arrows.

There was one arrow I shot that I couldn't for the life of me find. I searched behind the board, beside the board, and in front of the board ((in short, all around the board)) and couldn't find the thing. As it turns out, it had stuck in the tree that the plywood was leaning against; funny considering that the arrow didn't have a tip. Stephen found it when we were "painting" Kenneth's shirt. For some reason (and I still don't really know why) Kenneth and Stephen thought it would be funny if we threw paintballs @ KP's under shirt, which we did (he wasn't wearing it when we threw the paintballs). Weird, I know; but oh well.

After that was cleanup time. We... cleaned up. We put away the weapons and headed inside for some HALO. I showed them the warthog jump you can do in HALO 1 ((ask me later if you want to know more)). Didn't have much time after that before we ate ((and the food was reallly good btw)), but after eating, we went back to video games. KP & I beat the last lvl (level) of HALO 2 for Stephen 'cause he hadn't seen it beaten and wanted us to.

Then it was fireworks time!! Scary I know, but it's what we do. We shot some off, dabbled in different things to do w/ fireworks, and burned stuff. I also officially labled KP a pyro. No one was burned ((surprised? I am too)).

After all of that and freezing (@ least getting numb hands and noses), we headed back in for some multiplayer (in HALO). Stephen just wanted to watch, so KP & I battled each other: Snipers on Foundation, Rockets on Foundation, Brute shots on Midship, Swords on Ivory Tower, and Rockets on Ascention ((not to brag but...)) all of which I won. But we all had a good time. KP might have won the one on Midship, I can't remember. He put up a good fight either way.

After that we all left. Well, Kenneth & I left. Stephen stayed. But that's to be expected.

.

That, my friends, was a more-or-less quick recap of my evening. I hope all of yours were as festivitous. ((and to the concert goers... rock on))
