Ben W.

Okay here it goes, I'm not a great writer, but bear with me here. I don't want to make this long and boring, in fact I probably couldn't, even if I wanted to. so I will do the next best thing, I will make it short and boring. So here I go

I am 17 years old, and have 7 brothers and one sister. I live in MO. on about 200 acres, with all the wild things, like bugs…. We also have sheep, goats, chickens, cows, buffalo, dogs, cats, and a pig,

I love to debate, if fact I debate with myself all the time (and guess who wins). I also really like origami, which I have been doing for about 6 years, and I went to and origami convention this summer. among other things I like singing, whistling, hand whistling, whistling with a blade of grass, card throwing, camping, drawing awesome stick figure cartoons, and reading. I like reading any book by ted dekker, as well as some books by Frank Petretti, plus lots of other books such as, max and me and the time machine, fox busters, books by Roald Dahl, The contest at cowlick (yes the kids book), and other funny books.

I like to play card games, such as canasta, spades, dutch blitz, bridge, hearts, and big boss little boss (I have mixed feelings about that one).

I did the bible bee for the first three years, and never made it to the nationals, and I have wimped out the last two years and not done it at all.

sooooooooooooo………

Welcome to the forums! It's good to get to know you here! Maybe I can meet you in person sometime…. :)

I like your IY! It's a lot better then mine! (I should re-do mine…) :D

Card throwing is awesome!!!!!!! My brother done tried to teach me how, he's really good at it.

Have you ever read The Hangman's Curse by Frank Peretti????????!!!! That's one of my favoritest books!

cool. I love card throwing, but after I hit something a few times, they are so bent up, that they don't go straight anymore.
I haven't read the hangman's curse but if I see it at the library I will :)

Do you happpen to dislike hugs? I have several reasons for wondering this……….. :)

no, not specifically…. why? :D

Welcome to the forums, Ben. Wow, that's a lot of brothers…even more than I have. =) Your house must be exciting! :) Have you read This Present Darkness or Piercing the Darkness by Frank Peretti? Did you say you have buffalo?!

Well I guess exciting is one way to put it……. I have not read either of those two books, but I have heard of them. the only of Frank perretti's long books that I have read, are illusion, monster, house (which is by ted dekker as well), prophet, and the oath. and yes we have five buffalo.

Because one of the things in your "personality results" (according to the test) is that your personality (INTJ) don't care for hugs… and I know that Nicolas isn't fond of them. But your brother, Seth, made it clear to me that home-schoolers in MO give hugs. So I was wondering… :D

Is your full name Benjamin, or just Ben? :) I have an uncle Ben… and an uncle Joel, but they aren't twins. lol! ;)

Ohhhh I see. Well I am an INTJ, but I am a very unique and special INTJ. Basically I can like hugs if I want or I can not, so….

:) How would you put it?
I haven't read any of those, but I've heard Prophet is weird. (Not that means it's bad….)
Cool!

I wouldn't say it was any weirder then the rest of his books, but I didn't think it was especially good

Welcome to Memverse, Ben! :)

Just wondering, are you on Google Plus?

yes, are you?

Yes! :)

I am just, Ben Walley.

Okay, I'll look for you… do you have a profile picture?
I'm on as "Sarah Bertram"

yes I have a profile picture. do you?

Yes, mine is a picture of me.
There are sooo many Ben Walley s that I can't find you. :P still looking

Can't find you, Ben. Maybe you can find me easier… :)

oops, didn't realize that it had started a new page.

i'll try to find you, does the picture look like you now?

search, ben walley origami, it should bring up some of my posts.

Yes… well… maybe. It's hard to say because I sometimes look a little different in pictures (people say). But I think you would recognize it!

Okay! I'll try that! :)

Found you! :) Yep, and a lot of other stuff too… lol :D

great.

did you draw that dog, the one on your background?

Yes! :)

it's nice.

Thanks! I enjoy drawing when I have time… :) Mostly I like to draw children on the farm. People are much more challenging to draw, but more fun too! :)

So how did you get into origami? From looking at the pictures, you are really good at it! :)

A long time ago Joel got an origami book from the library, then I looked at it, then I got another book, etc.

Welcome to the forums! It's good to get to know you here! Maybe I can meet you in person sometime..../blockquote> *has already met him in person* :P

Congratulations! (I think I could tell from your pictures) LOL XP

Oh, um…yeah. xP

Hi Ben! My name's Seth, I'm your brother. I also have seven brothers and one sister! I'm not on memverse very much right now, but I'll see you in person pretty much every day, so we don't have to have most of our communication via MemVerse.

Nice to meet you!

^quietly laughs^

.....so we don't have to have most of our communication via MemVerse.

Unlike some of the siblings on here…. cough, cough jk xD

Hey now! :P

It's okay, she obviously isn't talking about you! Nicolas and Christian never get on here (sadly!) !!!! :p

That's 'cause they're busy all day! ^Of course, so am I…^
