Yeehaw!!!

One day Jory had to transcribe some fiddle music for a class (or something like that). His homework is so much easier than mine. He just has to watch YouTube clips of musicians all day. In his defense, he actually has to study music, so I guess it's all right. Anyway, he said, "Tyler, come in here." I went. He showed me a video of some guys playing this song. Then we just played it. Random. Cool.

Roommate prank

Okay, this is old material, but I think it deserves to be revisited. This is a post from my personal blog about one of the most successful tricks of our friend Jory.

A friend of mine likes to laugh. Often, this occurs at the expense of others, but mostly in ways that don't offend. To protect the innocent, I will call this friend "Jory" and the victim in this particular story "Matt."

Matt came home excited. He had obtained a girl's phone number that day (we'll call her "Becca"). Not only that, but he had convinced her to enter his name in her address book as "Sexy Matt." She sent a text message to confirm the number: "Hey sexy!"

Naturally, Matt was anxious to show Jory this text message, as it provided concrete evidence of his manliness and expert ways with the ladies. After bragging about his feat, Matt decided to take a shower. This was the worst possible move he could have made at a moment like this in a story like this (one involving Jory). Immediately, Jory grabbed Matt's phone, which had been placed carelessly on the dresser in plain sight, found his own number in Matt's address book, and changed out his name for Becca's. Now when he sent a text to Matt, Becca's name would be displayed.

Thus began the prank. The details are many and hilarious, but let it suffice to say that Jory played well the role of "creepy stalker girl." He sent all kinds of personal and flirtatious messages, including invitations to hang out and even an offer to kiss. Perhaps the creepiest text of all was this picture of Matt's bed with the words, "I like the planets..."

Jory was having too much fun to keep this devilish trick to himself, and he called me the morning after this all began to inform me. He then proceeded to keep me updated via email throughout the day. I was enjoying this at least as much as Jory was, so I decided to do my homework at Jory's house that evening so I could be there when Matt got home.

It was well worth the sacrifice (I knew going in that I would not actually be doing homework at Jory's house because that's impossible). Matt came home in quite a huff. He said, "Guys, I don't know what to do. A crazy girl has been texting me all day and she is being WAY too forward." Then, turning to Jory, he said, "Jory, have you been home today? I have to know--did you let her into our apartment, because she's been in my room!" It was all I could do to keep from laughing my head off.

It was true. Despite the blatant forwardness of the messages and the inclusion of information that only Jory could know, Matt had not even suspected a hoax. After a few minutes of agony for Matt and fun for us, Jory revealed his secret. Matt was silent for at least two full minutes. His first words were, "Jory, I'm not sure whether to hate you right now or congratulate you."

It was the perfect prank.

The Spider

So, you won't believe what just happened, in fact, I don't know if I believe it, hahaha... I'm still under the influence of my nap... but, ok, this is the story.... I was taking a really nice nap, one of those rare ones that you really enjoy and don't wake up with a head ache (those are my favorite)... and I went to the bathroom, and guess what I saw???? a SPIDER, right there staring at me, it's like it knew me, of course it did! it lived in our bathroom, there's no way it didn't know us, uhhh!

So, I grabbed a hair spray to smash the spider with it, and as soon as I approached to smash it, it ran and hided in Matt's toiletry bag, big mistake! Of course I was still kind of sleeping, so I wasn't sure if what I had seen was my imagination or reality. So, I decided to visit Matt in his room (which is located right next to the bathroom, very convenient of course) and told him what I had seen. So, we both ran to the bathroom, and he wanted to make sure there was no spider in his stuff, I immediately told him I wasn't sure if the whole thing was product of my nap, but he went ahead and took his toiletry bag, lifted it and... there it was, again that same spider, staring at us, ohhh no!!! Matt in a desperate voiced yelled for Tyler, the spider exterminator (a.k.a. our other roommate) to come and help. Well, to not make the story long and boring, Tyler saved the House of Blues from the spider that lived in our bathroom and habitated in Matt's toiletry bag; Matt, expressed many times his concern about other poisonous spiders perhaps living in the house; and I, mmm... I had a great time scaring Matt and Tyler couple times, hahaaha....

You know, I think that if Jon had been here, because he loves spider man, he would have wanted the spider to bite him, so that he could get spiderous mutant powers, I thing he would've liked that, hehehehe.... but, oh well, probably he would just have said "aaaahhhhhhhhh...hhhhaa!!!!" some couple times, hehehehe...

Well, this was my fisrt and not last contribution to this blog, I hope you guys enjoy!!!! ahhhhhh.....hhhhhhaaa!!!
