Okay, honestly, I’m not sure where the title came from. Oh well, it’s not like they aren’t random anyway.

So I believe the next story I have promised you is one that further details the eccentric personalities of the girls on my dorm room floor. I have only mentioned–and lightly–just how…excitable they can become. And when we’re not preparing for WWIII where each room is picking sides and cannons are being loaded, we are having pizza parties in the hall with Domino cinnamon sticks.

Those things are delicious by the way.

Just the other day a few of the girls were having roommate issues and I thought the entire fourth floor of our dorm was just going to disappear; sucked into a black hole. It was quite alarming. But things are resolved now–or as resolved as things can get anyway. But the pranks have begun again and Halloween is only going to fuel the fire of the Merry Pranksters.

In a dormitory full of girls, plastic spiders and dental floss is surprisingly effective. You may be sitting there reading this, thinking: that is the lamest, most basic, and altogether stupidest prank ever. To you I say: don’t be so sassy. Although, frankly, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that it would not have scared a Chiwawa (you know, cause those dogs are always shaking….does anyone know what the accurate spelling of that dog name is? Google had two so I picked the easiest one but I’m not sure it’s correct. I’m not stupid I swear! I just don’t like small dogs, so when would I have ever come across the spelling of Chiw–I give up.)

But as I was saying–dental floss and spiders. Hang them from exit signs and move them up and down. Then sit back, relax, and watch people freak out. Our poor RA almost had a heart attack I think. But she was a great sport about it.

Then she told us to do it to the RA on the second floor because she’s terrified of spiders. It kind of backfired though because there were too many of us and she caught on to our scheming before we could really pull it off. Shame. But you can only try, right?

Pass on the fake fear!
