For the Clare fanboys out there...

Bea has hypnotic eyes...I met her in Orlando for the first time, and it was kind of embarrassing for me...I couldn't keep my eyes off of hers...fortunately for me a friend of hers introduced us so she knew I wasn't dangerous.

Clare is just plain cool to talk to, even though I don't talk to her much.

If a married guy comes home from paintball and has a neck welt, he'll probably be in trouble with his wife. :)

yah, i have to say, I've never met Bea, but I've seen plenty of pictures. And in all of them that smile she has, her yes -- you're so right about those -- beaming with excitement... You get the feeling of someone who is genuine.

I've actually tried to use Bea as a motivator for my girlfriend.

I showed her pictures, claimed she was the face of positive feminist values in paintball. That Bea made great strides selling her image not just as a woman, but as a competent businessman, a capable sportsman, and wholesome rolemodel. I announced to my girlfriend that Bea should be an inspiration to women everywhere, not just in paintball, and that portraits of her should hang on every wall in our apartment.

Then I handed her a Blazer.

And... she handed it back.

I used Clare too, and you wanna know what happened?

Now i'm taking her 12 and 14 year old sisters, or are they older now? I forgot. Regardless, I'm taking her little sisters paintballing once this summer Partly because of pictures of Clare (kitty helped), and I can't get my own, adult, grown up share an address girlfriend to go.
