Bonus Points (43/90)

Today I started what I like to call a "point system" which allows me to look at things as more of a way of making progress in life. Actually, I've been keeping this system secretly for months now, but I've never told anyone or haven't really applied it to my everyday life. To tell you the truth, I'm probably not going to, but this will probably give me a reason to stay entertained when life doesn't look all that great.

Basically, the way this point system works is that every accomplishment I (or you, if you want to get involved) make gives me (or you) "experience points." The amount of experience points you get is completely dependent on you according to your judgement. Maybe an example would be more appropriate to explain this system....

Let's say, I'm working at my part time job and IT'S SLOW. Well, I could stand and do nothing, OR I could make things exciting by bringing up random conversations with my fellow coworkers. If I do decide to go the route that allows me to converse with my fellow coworkers and does make things interesting, I get plus (whatever number of) points.

This point system is purely imaginary and usually I decide to split my points into categories. Some random categories I came up with: awesomeness, charismatic, kindness, stylishness, friendship, lameness, health, dangerous, etc. (Make them up as you go!)

Another example. Let's make this simple this time.

I make someone laugh. +10 points to charisma! Yay. (It's more interesting when things start stacking up)

Oh. And anything that you get for "free" as in without effort counts as "bonus points" because why wouldn't you appreciate the things you get for free? :D

(Man, I'm so silly sometimes....)

Peace to ya, kids.
