April Fool's Pranks

Man was that one fun April Fool's day. I think I pulled off some pretty funny stuff. So I started out the day trying to get my room mate Christie by sticking a post-it note to the bottom of her mouse, but she didn't really fall for it because her sister had suggested that she play the same joke on me the night before. She didn't try that, but she immediately knew what I had done so it didn't surprise her. Then, while she was in the bathroom I set her keyboard to dvorak instead of qwerty. However, you have to close all applications and restart them before it will take effect and since she already had her IM started and that was basically the only thing she used all day, it didn't work. I didn't want to disturb it because she would have realized I messed with her computer. Then I told her about it because I wanted to do it to someone else and I needed a little help to get into their room. I was going to do this to Elizabeth, but we decided she might get too upset, so we settled for Jamie instead. Again she already had her IM open, so we didn't shut that down, but when she finally got on the internet she flipped out. She called Elizabeth over to help her figure it out. Kristina told me that the plan had finally gone into effect. We waited a few minutes until we went into Jamie's room laughing. She was wondering what we were laughing about and then she finally understood that we were behind it, although she had already started to shut her computer down so we had to wait for it to reboot to change it back. It was hilarious to see how much she was flipping out. And she didn't even suspect it was a prank. That was wonderfully pulled off if I don't say so myself. Then I wrote an email to my sister complaining about college and telling her that I was quitting and coming home immediately. At the end of the email, at the very bottom I told her it was a joke. She wrote me back that she was totally flipping out. I wish I could have seen her face when she was reading it, but it was pretty funny just reading her email. The last joke of the day was again on my room mate. I downloaded a bluescreen screensaver that makes it look as if your computer has something wrong with it. Then I left the room before she came back in. When I came back in she's like "Becca, what is wrong with my computer?" I couldn't keep a straight face and started laughing, she was sort of hoping that I had been behind it, but wasn't sure. So I didn't get her very good, but I had fun anyway. What a great day!
