Corn Maize Fun!

So we didn't actually do the zombie game in the corn maze thing, but it was still a lot of fun.  We went at about 7 pm so it started off light, but then got progressively darker and more fun.  At the beginning there was this corn cop (that's what I'm calling them anyway) who told us the rules.  There was something about not running and not throwing corn (neither of which lasted long and we each did both at some point in the maze).  There were also clues on half sheets of paper called passports that could help get you through the maze.  At certain points you would come to numbered intersections and you could read a trivia question and the correct answer would be the correct way to turn.  They didn't help that much though because the maze was huge and there were only 10 numbers so even if you got the question correct you would just make a wrong turn somewhere else and return to the same numbered intersection.  We quickly ditched the passports (mainly cause I snatched them from the people still using them) and I kind of liked the idea of getting through it without the help and Reid at least agreed with this.  We were enjoying it and didn't mind making the same wrong turn several times.  He liked it so much that he often purposely led us astray.  Reid is a funny guy.  I attacked him with a corn stock.  I started off leading the group then got the idea that that would be fun so I crouched behind a corn stock and waited for people in my group to pass.  Lori, Sarah, Colleen, Paul, and David all passed by unharmed.  This wasn't necessarily initially aimed toward Reid, but after I thought about attacking each one of them I thought he would be the least likely to retaliate.  And I was right.  It was pretty funny especially because it was still light outside and they all could see me and each wondered what I was doing behind that corn stock.  Reid came around the corner, saw me and started to ask what I was doing when he got a stock to the face (not hard though so it didn't hurt.  It just startled him).  I'm not sure why I'm telling you this as it probably won't seem very funny to anyone who was not present and can't recall what happened.  Oh well.  I said I would blog about this so I will.  

It started to get darker once we were about halfway through it and it was a good thing we had flashlights.  We made numerous wrong turns and were just having fun and no one seemed to mind the fact that we weren't making any progress.  I was in the lead again and it seemed like another good opportunity to scare someone.  I again went about this without having a pre determined target and walked a little faster ahead of the group so that I could hide in the corn stocks around the corner.  Sarah was the only one walking beside me, but she didn't question my odd behavior.  She just turned around to watch, pretending to wait for the rest of the group to come.  Sarah is awesome.  Lori was the first to round the corner and was too deep in conversation to really look where she was going so I dove out of the corn stocks right at her and yelled.  And she yelled back.  Not at me particularly, but more at the world in general and anyone who would listen.  It was a funny moment and she was a good sport and I assured her that she was not the pre determined target, but just so happened to be unfortunately leading the group at the time and, therefore the first person I saw.  Apparently they had been talking about being attacked and Paul had said, "don't worry, Lori.  We'll make sure you don't get attacked and raped." right before I jumped out at her and they were all laughing really hard at what was unintentional perfect timing.  I love when that happens.  

We got to one of the two bridges that overlook the maze and even though it didn't really help us to determine the way out, we were still amazed (hahaha XD ) at how huge the corn field was.  We finally found the exit and were about to exit when someone preposed the idea that we try and find the entrance again.  So we turned around.  However, it chose that moment to start drizzling and we decided that this would be a lot less fun if we were wet and cold so we headed back toward the exit, but not before purposely leading another group the wrong direction.  

That was a fun night and I was really tired when I got home.  I was actually planning to go right to bed even though it was only 9:30 but then I preposed the idea of Humans v Zombies to Paul over facebook chat and he said it was awesome, but that if we wanted to do it on the 25th of October that we would have to get the ball rolling.  So I created a facebook group with all the info and made Paul and I administrators and Officers.  I am the Vashta Nerada (Doctor Who anyone?) and he is the Inferius.  I invited everyone from my college that was on my friends list and he did the same.  I was kind of embarrassed and was fully prepared to lose a lot of the friends that were more acquaintances and that I didn't know very well, but surprisingly it hasn't happened yet.  So far the group has 41 members and has gained 5 since I last looked 30 minutes ago.  This might actually be really cool and I am really excited.
