April Fools Day

Yes, yes, yes!
I know!
It is April Fools Day, I think I will post some pranks that you can use!. I have some pretty good plans for today. Heh heh heh! Alright, what I am going to do is post some pranks that you can do. Besides, it is never to late to pull a friendly prank every once in a while, so it doesn't matter when you do these!
Oh, and PS, I got these pranks at http://www.thefoolsday.com/practical-jokes-tricks.html.
I got some other pranks at other places, and I'll post the websites at the bottom after the jokes.
Here they are!

April Fool's Day is the opportunity to trick your friends or loved ones and even strangers and play practical jokes on them. Here are some out of the world ideas for you.

• Rearrange somebody's drawers or file cabinets in a different order and see them baffled.
• Hard boil an egg and place it in the regular egg carton the night before. In the morning, ask someone to help you make breakfast and beat the egg to make omelets. Hand them the hard-boiled egg and watch them trying to crack it!
• On the other hand, you may just glue the eggs to the carton and ask someone to hand them to you in the morning. As the victims struggle to take the eggs out of the carton, they break.
• There are lots of fantastic tricks for heavy sleepers. Some of the popular ones are:

• Draw funny eyebrows and moustache on their faces while they are asleep.
• o Place some whipped cream in their hands and tickle their nose with a feather.
• o Placing someone's hand while they are asleep in a bowl of cold water is a sure way to make them wet their beds.

• Go to office early by half an hour on April 1 and tape down the ball at the bottom of everybody's mouse. See everybody surprised to find out that nobody's mouse is working. Works only on scroll mouse.
• This one is to play Dr Dolittle. Tape a little walky-talky on your pet or hide it somewhere near where it is laying. Walk off to a safe distance where you can keep yourself hidden from others with the other piece. As soon as another family member tries to pick up or pat on the back of your pet, say in a gruff voice, "I hate you doing this to me." See them jump with fright and shock.
• Late at night, fill the hair-dryer with baby powder. Catch the expression of someone who has just washed his or her hair and turned it white by using the hair dryer.
• This can be done in class, office or home. Ask your friends, colleagues and siblings to perform particular actions together at the same pre-planned time like dropping their pencils at the same time, to tie shoelaces, to reboot their computers, to drink water or any such innocent actions. These synchronized actions are sure to surprise anybody who will wonder about what is happening.
• Good for teachers. Tell your students that you are just going to note the scores that they have got on their tests or exams and will hand out to them after an hour. Go to the room and them keep running out looking like very scared and tell them that the principal has just spilled coffee or ink on the test/examination papers and they will have to take them again. Note their reactions and exclamations. You can bet that the dullest of all students will loudly claim that they had done their best this time and it is not fair to them. Then you can tell them how much they have really scored.

And here are some more!

• Before one of your family members takes shower, remove the shower head and place a life-saver candy in it, replace the shower head with the candy now trapped in it. When the person takes a shower he or she will not notice, until they get out and start to dry off the towel will stick to them they will get back in the shower to rinse off... works like a charm.
  

• Find a box about the size of a cake. Then cover it with frosting, making it look like a cake. Then put it out in the office kitchen, or wherever people leave free food. Sit back as one of your co-workers tries to cut a slice.
  

• Take an empty coffee mix can and replace it with a can with coffee mix in it. Make sure coffee cans are the same brand, or it will not work. At the bottom of the can put a piece of paper that says April Fools. Make sure you help the person with making their coffee to see their reaction.
  

• This ones for all you pet owners! First, put a walky talky some wear near the area of where your pet is laying. Go into another room with the other walky talky. Then, when your brother/sister goes to pet your furry friend, say something like..."Hey Pal! Get your grimy hands off me!" They'll get a kick outta this one!!!
  

• Get a small alarm clock and set it for 3:00 a.m. Sneak under the victim's bed. Once it goes off, he/she won't be able to find it will drive them nuts.
  

• Switch the "Pull" and "Push" signs on a set of doors. Watch as people get confused trying to open the doors. (Don't do this on fire escapes)
  

• You will need a funnel, a coin, a couple of friends and, of course, a victim! Start playing the 'funnel game' infront of your victim. A game of skill that involves putting the funnel down the front of your pants and balancing the coin on your nose with your head tilted back. Tip your head forward to let the coin drop into the funnel. When you have the victim begging to do this put the funnel in his pants and get him to put his head back so you can balance the coin on his nose. As this is happening pour a large drink into the funnel!
  

• Stick a post-it note under your friend's mouse so that the paper leaf covers the mouse ball - the mouse will no longer work! Align so that the sticky part of the note doesn't touch the ball. Costs next to nothing to do, and doesn't cause any damage.
  

• Grab a bottle of liquid soap and head toward the "victims" bedroom. Squirt some of the soap onto your hand and rub all over the doorknob of his/her room. Run away before he or she sees you in the process of doing this prank.
  

• Glue eggs to the carton and beg for eggs in the morning. When the victim gets them the eggs break!
  

• When your victims asleep sneak into their room and draw eyebrows and a moustache on their face, make sure to be their when they look in the mirror.
  

• Put some water in a cereal bowl, and place it in the freezer so that the water freezes. Offer to make your sister/brother cereal in the morning. Make sure you use that same bowl. Put their favorite cereal over the top of the ice, and serve.
  

• Take a rubber band and slip it over the lever on the spray handle so that when someone turns the sink on, it will spray him or her in the face. This is an easy way to pull a great prank!
  

I got those from this website. I hope you have some fun with those. And I will do I think a couple more.

The Twicess Walmart (Or, the Princess Bride)

I had so much fun last night!
Woot!
Alright.
Now I will tell you all about it, because I know you are dying to find out what happened.
Yesterday was my friend, Sage's, birthday partay!
We watched Twilight, prank called, watched the Princess Bride, talked, went to the YW Conference, ate chocolate, went to-
Why don't I tell you all about it, instead?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Flash Back Begins~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Dad? Dad! Daddy? Father? David? Brent!" I called throughout the house.
Finally, I decided to go outside.
"Father?" I shouted outside. I walked around the house, and finally came across him pouring chemicals on weeds in the front yard.
"Dad! Where's mom? I'm fifteen minutes late for Sage's party!" I yelled at him.
"She's out to lunch with her friends. And it's your fault that you're late," he scolded.
"Well, I don't want to be much later, so can you drive me?" I asked.
"Alright," he said.
(I actually skipped a couple of parts. I just want to get this scene over with.)
"Bye, Dad!" I called, and slammed the car door shut and jumped onto Sage's trampoline, where they were all waiting for me.
We talked, and then went inside and tromped downstairs into her basement. Sage popped in Twilight and we sat and watched it for a while. During the movie, we chucked paper cups at each other that were crumpled up in little balls. We did that for about twenty minutes. We get entertained easily. And the movie was running while we were doing it. Finally, we turned back to the movie, and when it was almost over, I noticed that Ashley, McKena, and Melia were gone. Since I like to intrude on things, I poked around the house, trying to find them. I found them in Sage's room. They were laughing, talking on the phone.
"What are you guys doing?" I whispered, trying not to interrupt their conversation.
"Prank calling," Melia whispered back.
"That is so immature," I scolded, but sat down on Sage's bed and listened to their conversation anyway.
Ashley was doing the talking.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"A friend of Kena's," Melia replied.
(I think his name was Chance. I know it started with a 'c')
"Who is this?" Chance yelled.
"Um, its Ashley," Ashley replied not-so truthfully.
"Do you go to my school?" he replied.
"Yep," she said, and then whispered to McKena, "What school does he go to?"
(Since I can't remember, I will just say he goes to Mountain Ridge.)
"Mountain Ridge," Kena whispered back.
"What is the school?" he asked.
"Mountain Ridge," Ashley shot back.
"What? Oh, well, are you in any of my classes?" he asked.
And the list goes on and on. The phone went back and forth between Ashley and Mel, but never to me. Thank goodness!
Sage came into her room when Twilight was over, and said that the YW Conference was going to start in 10 minutes. So we dashed upstairs and grabbed out bags with church clothes in them, and changed quickly. Then we piled outside and walked to the Stake Center by her house and watched the broadcasting of it. Then we walked home. By that time, it was about 7:45, and we had to change back into our clothes and get ready for Walmart.
Then, we piled into Sage's car, and I got to sit in the trunk with Alexandra, Ashley, and Mel. We talked and sang nonstop on the way. It was pretty fun.
Then we walked into the new Walmart by Cedar Ridge. We waited for everyone else to show up. We were paired into two teams, and had to fulfill tasks like, "Buy the cheapest candy and give it to a little kid" or whatever. Hee hee! My team won! But by a couple seconds! Phew, it was scary.
So we were at the checkout, buying the last thing, when the other team got in a shorter line, and they started checking their stuff out too! So we were screaming, and this lady in front of us let us butt her, (whom we thanked gratefully) and we quickly bought the stuff. We shoved the money into the clerks face, (he hadn't even scanned the items yet) and my friend shouted,
"Keep the change and receipt!" Our friends were all finished, but they didn't know we hadn't put our stuff in a bag or anything, so they were taking their own sweet time walking to the finish. They then saw us pounding down the aisle, and when we ran past them, I tipped my imaginary hat and said,
"Afternoon, suckers!" and shot past them. They were thunderstruck. They started running full steam ahead, but we made it to the finish ONE SECOND before they did. It was heart-pounding, but exciting!
Ciao for now!

Scrabble Stuff

This post is going to be small, because I don't really have enough time to post. Well, I will tell you one thing.
I LOVE SCRABBLE NECKLACES!!!! If you haven't heard the buzz, people make necklaces out of scrabble tiles! Isn't that awesome??? Well, if you want to make your own, I will post some instructions on how to do it. Okay:

Supplies needed: · Paper · Scrabble Tiles · Scissors · Craft Glue · Metal File · Mod Podge · Small Paint Brushes · Utility Knife · Diamond Glaze · Super Glue · Small Aanraku Jewelry Bails in Silver

Step 1:
Choose your paper wisely! I use a template card, a little template on an index card with a hole the size of a scrabble tile. That way when I shop for paper, I can see if the pattern will fit the tile. You can use almost
any paper you find; scrapbook paper, card stock, Japanese Washi paper, origami paper, gift wrap, even lightweight recycled greeting cards. Everything will become a possibility, so experiment. Using a light box (or holding your paper to the window), use your template card and trace the pattern for your tile. Trim the paper about a 3/4” to 1/2” around your outline. Allow enough excess paper so you can hold the paper while spreading the glue.

Step 2:
Using a paint brush and your light box, “paint” a thin layer of glue (I use Tacky Glue) onto the back of your paper. Place your tile in the box, being sure to notice which way is up so your letter isn’t upside down when you’re finished. I like using a thin glue.

Step 3:
After about 10-20 minutes your glue should be dry. Using a utility knife, carefully trim around the outside of the tile being careful not to cut the tile in the process. The wood is pretty soft.

Step 4:
Gently file the edges of the paper to be smooth and flush with the side of the tile. Since the wood is soft, be careful not to file too hard. You may want to experiment with different types of metal files in order to find the one you like best. The one I use is a medium grit file.

Step 5:
Now you need to seal the paper. Use a paint brush to apply a thin layer of Mod Podge. I like to seal the top and all sides. Let that dry for 10-20 minutes. I like to lay my tiles on wax paper so the glue doesn’t stick to my work surface. A cookie sheet lined with wax paper works perfectly!

Step 6:
Once the Mod Podge is dry, it is time to apply the Diamond Glaze. Do NOT shake the glaze. First, I like to make a little dot on my wax paper. The first dot usually has a bubble & I’d rather have it on the wax paper than on my tile. Holding the bottle at an angle, apply the glaze around the edges and then fill in the middle. Be sure to get close to the edges. The glaze shouldn’t roll off the edge, but in case it does, just file it off when the whole thing is dry. If you get a bubble, which will happen, just use your fingernail to pull it off the tile. You can use a needle, but I find that is harder to do. Diamond Glaze is water soluble, so it just washes off with soap and water. Now let your tile dry for a minimum of 4 hours. Dry your tile in a cool place where it won’t get bumped by anyone.
UPDATED:
I let mine to fully cure 3 days before packaging it. The glaze manufacturers may suggest less time but to be safe, plan on 3 days.

Step 7:
Now attach the silver bail. Hold the bail with your fingers, put a drop or two of glue and hold the tile in place. I like to use Super Glue because then it’s stuck “forever”! The only down side, is that if the bail isn’t exactly centered, it’s tricky to remove. In seconds, it’s attached and ready to go!

Step 8:
Now to clean up any rough edges. Get your metal file again and smooth down any rough edges and excess glue. Now you’re finished! Enjoy your pendant.

Okay!
Hope you have fun making it. I think you will be able to get all of the supplies at any craft store, or even Wal-Mart.
Ciao!
