Last night, Isaac and I went with Eric P to Boondocks Amusement Park in Meridian. It was pretty fun. I guess he’d invited more people, but nobody else came, so it was just us three guys! We got the “Fun Pack 1″ which was Unlimited Miniature Golf, 10 Arcade Tokens, and 1 Attraction.

So, we started off by playing Miniature Golf, (I lost by one point to Isaac) then we raced Go-carts on the drift track, (drift track means slick; you get to slide around!) then we hit the arcades for a little while. Once we’d used up our tokens (or, all but one for each of us) we decided to go buy a round of laser tag. That was really fun! The guy even let us play two rounds because we were the last people there that night.

Then we all used up our last token on the ball throwing one (forgot what it’s called) and got a grand total of 10 tickets to spend at the counter. We went over to the counter to see what they had, and, well, it was all expensive. So we went and found out they sell tootsie rolls for 1 ticket apiece, so we got 10 tootsie rolls and went home.

It was fun

Hey ya'll!
You might say I'm doing a contest. It's not really a contest though, because that's not the focus.

I'm looking for some tips on how to be outgoing. I'm sure I'm not the only introvert who wants to know what the outgoing people have in their head, so, remember if you do participate, I'm not the only one who's gonna read your comments!

All participants will recieve a prize(this is what makes people think contest. Prize=Contest). What's the prize? It's a spiffy Award that I had professionally designed by AJwStudios and it will be custom made for you as well. It Will read:
True Extrovert
[Your Name]

(That means it will have your name on it)

Here's The Big One
Here's a small icon sized one

Though, there's a catch and that's, I can only have this done until next saturday(one week from posting), So get to it while you can! It ends the 13th.

So, if you can please offer at least one tip in the form of a comment, I'd most appreciate it!

Thanks!

-Benjamin

P.S. Tell a few outgoing friends about this... The more the merrier!
P.P.S. Oh, and Tell a few shy/introverted friends too!
P.P.P.S. Do you like Post Post Post Scripts?

Well, I don't update a lot around here, but I actually am around!(In fact I read y'alls entries. I don't comment much though!)
So, what's everybody up to? :D I'm up to getting ready for winter. I'd say I don't like winter as well as summer, but it's just one of those things that happens so, why complain?

Last night was youth night. I dunno, this youth night is just kinda like me and Isaac and Tod hanging out. It's not very fun, and is all stuff you can learn otherwise. Not to mention stuff that isn't agreeable with me. Anywayz...

I been sick for the past week. I also got a haircut te other day, and now my head is un-insolated.... I've been wearing a stocking cap for a few days because of that :P Let me tell you, a buzz isn't something to get in the winter. Not without a stocking cap!

What else? I told everyone that Levi was born way back in June(right?), but did I tell everyone about Lydia? Lydia's gonna be born here pretty soon :D The scheduled date is near the beginning of November. Though, Zeke was born early. Don't know what'll happen with Lydia :D


Ummmm I'm not sure what else to talk about :D I made a new template for my other two blogs. Maybe I should transfer it here!

Yep. That's all.

heh, 27!

Once upon a time, a person sat down at a computer to write of days gone by. On this particular day, he had just come in from mowing down tall tall grass that almost came to his knees. He wrote about how life had been treating him(which was fairly well), and what he'd been doing and what had been happening.

The things that had been happening were not much to speak of, but still time went by and needed spoke of to some extent. At his house, the irrigation pump had seized up, so he no longer had a good way for watering the lawn, thus making it get dryer. Soon he will be buying a new pump, to replace the old one.

While sitting in his chair typing at the keyboard, he pondered about times past, of learning accordion(which he was still working at), playing tetherball(which he no longer played more than a couple times a week), learning CSS(with the help of a friend), reading through Job(which is his favorite book) and many other happenings.

For some time, the Vita-Mix at his house had been broken, but just as so many things eventually come to pass, his family had sent it to the factory, to get a replacement or get it fixed. Now, it had not come back at the time of his writing, but still he hoped it would soon return, in working order.

And while he looked at his monitor, at the words he typed, he wondered, whether his sister, Martha was to have her baby yet(for, she is 35 weeks along and feeling almost time). It would be nice to have another nephew, is what the thought was in his mind. Their family would soon expand to be quite large, he expected.

Now he sat, thinking to himself what else to write. Nothing much came to mind, so he decided to end the entry.
