I was in bed at about midnight the other night after shutting down the computer from being on MSN.

I was sure I shut the computer down, I mean, it does it all itself, I only click the toolbar thingy.

Hearing the clicking for the third time made me pluck up the courage, to get hold of my Halogen Energizer torch and take to the stairs... (scaredey-cat loser)

In my house we always seem to be decorating something... And it just so happened to be the 'Hall-Stairs-And-Landing' at this time...

The first step made a creek... so on came the torch... I crept down the stairs and all of a sudden went into Luigi Mode... I haven't got a clue why I was thinking about it... it just happened... I remember reading something about it in E100 about 2 months ago, but Iíd never thought much of it... anyway... knowing I could only go one way... (DOWN!) I shone the torch to the bottom of the stairs... and then I started to pretend to be scared... and then, in the middle of it all, I spoke...

"Maaaaaaaarrriiiioooooooo!"? I couldn't believe it... I coughed *cough* and carried on... what a loser... I should lay off the videogames... anyway, then a light came on from upstairs... it was my mum...

"Who are you calling... what time is it?"

"Er... no-one,... nothing... it's about 12"...

Once again... I stated down the stairs... only to be interrupted, and sub-sequentially flawed by my cat...

*Thud*...

This time about 5 lights came on... Yep... brother, brother, sister, mum and dad... (Which I suppose is only 1 light for those two but well... they have a light each!)

The worst bit was what happened next... Being quite an instinctive person, I decided my cat should be taught a lesson... if I want to walk down the stairs at night with a torch pretending to be a gaming character, he shouldn't be in the way... So picked up the nearest thing to me....

The Dirt Buster! Hmmm..... quite convenient, I suppose, but effective none the less... what's so bad about that... you might ask... well... you know the 5 lights... they all merged into 1 hall light... and when the family looked down the stairs... they saw me... with a vacuum... pointing it at the cat... Not good.

After being caught in my boxers at 12:05am with a vacuum in one hand and a torch in the other, I decided to leave the computer sounds, which was the other cat scratching the table, and go to bed...

Damn gaming... it gets to me...!

On the subject of paintballing but keeping to the topic, when I went paintballing, I sort of acted like I was in a game like Metal Gear Solid or Perfect Dark. Sad, I know, but I just couldn't help myself.
That paint doesn't taste very nice. Reminds you that you are not in a game. So dose getting hit in the place that is very sensitive.

I know what you mean why only last week I started chain smoking and sneaking around my house breaking the necks of just about anyone I met who passed me by!

No, actually that was a dream!
