1. Whatâs the best practical joke you have ever perpetrated or been a victim of?
When I was about 20, my mother, Em, and I lived in this tiny studio apartment in downtown Long Beach, which is a SCARY place in some areas, and we were in the scariest, to the point where there were drug deals going on in the alleyway next to our complex (and right off our side windows...thank goodness we were on the second floor!).
Well, this creepy-lookin', always-barefoot guy of about 50 started coming into the alleyway (we assumed to buy/sell drugs) everyday...and my mom was simply FREAKED OUT about this character, who we'd named Creepy Guy.
Well, one day, she was out on the big ol' patio we had at the time, and was watering her garden that she had there, bent down to pick something up, and as she bent down, the hose angle changed and the water went up and over the fence, and into the alleyway...AND ONTO CREEPY GUY! :shock:
My mom heard him yell, "HEY!!", and she got all scared, turned off the water, and came back inside...
It's all she could talk about for a bit. Well, this happened just a couple days before April Fool's Day (which is a holiday my family takes quite seriously)...and I just couldn't resist.
When I knew she was on her way home, I double locked the front door, pulled all the blinds down, closed all windows, and when I heard her unlocking the front door, grabbed Em and pretended to hide in the back room. She came in, looked around for me, found me in the back, and said, "What the heck is goin' on in here??"
So, I told her that Creepy Guy had come to the front door, banging on the door, just FURIOUS, asking for that blonde lady that lived there, DEMANDING to see her right now. I told her he had eventually left, but I'd already called the police and they were on their way over.
Oh man, her eyes literally looked like this: :shock: And just before she started to act on it, I couldn't hold in my laughter anymore, and told her APRIL FOOL'S!!!
Oh man, I don't think I've ever seen my mother more relieved!!! LOL!!
Yeah, that was by far the best practical joke I've ever done...period.
2. If you could send a day with a famous person, living or dead, who would it be? Why?
I think I'd like to spend a day with James Taylor. He's my all-time favorite singer/songwriter...and I have a feeling he's a really amazing person to spend time with.
3. If you could have one magical talent what would it be?
Hmm...I would like to be able to naturally breathe underwater...so I could go swimming all I want, and go underwater and just enjoy the quiet, see the fishies, etc.
4. Have you ever been stuck in an elevator?
Nope...that's one adventure I've not had...and don't think I'd like to anytime soon, lol!
5. Do you wear a watch?
Yep! It was my Mother's Day present from Danny & Em last year.
6. Cash or credit?
CASH...I've never had a credit card. And my credit is surprisingly good in never having had one, too! LOL
7. Paper or plastic bags for groceries?
I prefer paper...the kitties and the bunnies RELISH paper bags. There's so much you can do with them!
8. Drinks in cans or bottles?
I prefer bottles...I tend to be able to taste the metal in my drink if it's from a can. Though Mountain Dew does taste better from a can, for some strange reason.
9. When was the last time you went to a theme park and what was the most memorable moment that you had there?
We surprised Em with a visit to Disneyland on Christmas Eve. It was one of the best days we've ever had as a family. The most memorable moment would have to be during the fireworks show...Em was on a bench (poor kids can't see over parents' heads), and I stood behind her, hugging her...and I thought of what a rough year it'd been, and couldn't help but cry from the emotion of it all. This year was the most beautiful, magical Christmas we've ever had.
10. If rabbits could be trained to talk like humans what would you teach them to say?
"I wuff you!!" hehe
or
"I hurt...here" *pointing*
11. Do you have any phobias? if so, what are they?
LOL...too many...sharks, small spaces, suffocating, being lost, being forgotten, not being loved...etc. I think most of those are fears other people have, though, when they think about it.
Okay...I pick...lemme think...ZIN!!
