Today I present part two of "How to Prank Fellow Staff Members...Successfully". This time we will explore the sensitive subject of victims.
Firstly, if the term "victim" makes you uncomfortable, mentally replace "victim" with "joyful receiver of prank" while reading this post.
Now I had quite a few victims (and unbelievably was even one myself) this summer, but there were two specific staff girls that I especially terrorized-the afore-introduced K.L. and A.C.. For some reason, both of them actually were fine with sharing a room with me at different points of camp. (Did they actually feel safe? It probably depended...) Round of applause for these brave girls. Heroic...or probably just gullible! (After all, I'm little, so most people equate that with being sweet...go ahead, make that mistake! I can be sweet, but I can be sour if I like) :D
So, choose your victim. If someone is playing pranks on you, they'd be a good choice. If note, choose someone that 1.) you will be in daily contact with, 2.) has a good sense of humour, 3.) won't take the pranking too seriously, 4.) and is a good friend (or has the potential of becoming one).
Next, evaluate your victim. What are their weaknesses? What annoys them? Now, the big one...what are their fears?! (Quoting A.C.-"Its not nice to play on people's fears." I agreed sweetly, but was prepared to play a big prank on her fears. Yes, my dear friend, its not nice to play on your fears, but it sure is fun!) I probably sound mean, but I really did try to make it up in other ways (like I'd stand up for them). Don't nominate me for the worst friend of 2015 award yet! I'm still in contact several times a week with A.C.-and she even says that she misses me! Astounding!
As my closing note on victims, remember this-you will probably feel guilty at some point. Don't worry-your friends will survive (whether you will-that's another question!). If they don't, you just got them to glory land a little faster than they expected (joking, folks, just joking. Don't take me literally all of the time!). If they survive and are really upset, just apologize nicely later (that may surprise them and possibly save your life).
I asked A. if she had any thing that she'd like me to pass on in these posts. This is what she said as help for other "innocent" (or not! A. was somewhere in between) victims:
"I have nothing to add except they should all beware. And try not to die of a heart attack when they get scared."-Miss A.C., victim
And with those inspiring words, I close my section on victims. Next time (probably Wednesday or Thursday)-"Annoying Your Victims"! See you then!
Think I'm completely crazy yet? And do you think that the people from camp were just amazingly forgiving and sweet to STILL love me after I drove 'em crazy and frightened them to death (probably agreement from A.C.)?! Yes, they actually still loved me! Great friends, great times, great memories!
God bless, folks! See you next time!
