Lots of stuff squished into one post, plus our first list!

Hey kids!

If you've read any previous posts, you've met Marissa. Well, I'm the other half, Lindsey. So... howdy!

I've got a little brother. Seven years old. At school, a popular recess game is wall ball... my brother plays it and I played it when I was his age. The fashion kids at our school play the game in really has no long-term objective- catch the ball throw it at the building wall. If you touch the ball and drop it, you've got to sprint to the wall and touch it before someone else chucks it at the wall. Pretty simple game.

So a few months ago my dear brother becomes wall ball's number one fan. He took one of my dad's tennis balls to claim as his own ball. He takes it to school everyday for the purpose of wall ball. After school, he brings it home at bounces it against the fireplace mantle, simultaneously watching a sports game on the television, while my dad yells at him in fear the ball will smash the painting on the adjacent wall or the t.v. screen.

Anyways, the sound of a bouncing ball is now engrained in my brain. This prompted me to think about what one could do with a tennis ball... so here's our first list!

1. Cut the ball in half and fill it with pudding or soup

2. Shove it down your shirt for a modest uniboob

3. Throw it to your dog

4. Throw it to a stranger's dog

5. Throw it at your dog or a stranger's dog

6. Play catch

7. Play tennis

8. Turn out a light switch by chucking it at the outlet

9. Break a t.v. screen

10. Knock down a painting

11. Cut a small slit and use it as a piggy bank

12. Draw a face on the tennis ball and name it

13. Launch it at a random jogger/cycler

14. Play wall ball

15. Cut a round hole, fill it with grape juice, and insert a straw for a cool juice box

Marissa and I were trying to figure out how to make this an open forum thing... we will consult our techie friends. For now, if you've got stuff to add, shoot us a comment. Make sure you number your ideas. For example, the next person to comment should start with 16. Also, no obscene comments, por favor. They're funny for about four seconds.

Alrighty, I'm out... I've got geometry homework to complete... oh, and Glee was on last night! Can't believe I missed it! :O Sometimes, sacrifices have to be made!

Toooodles!
