apocalypsosWell, it's nice to see that I'm not the only one who despises this unholy of unholy days. Maybe it's because I'm gullible on Olympic levels, I don't know.
Everybody else is threatening violence for pranks. I, however, am threatening wish fulfillment. You want to tell me you're pregnant? I'll show you what I learned from that book my mom got me for Christmas, "How To Win Friends and Magically Inseminate the Unsuspecting." Want to tell me you're not feeling well and you think your appendix has burst? Finally, a reason to use all that knowledge I gleaned from "ER" reruns! Heard a rumor the President's been assassinated? Give me twenty minutes, cab fare and a two-by-four and I'll go check.
So, yeah. My hatred of April Fool's Day knows no bounds.

Date: 2004-04-01 12:13 pm (UTC)Quite frankly, April Fools Day always annoys me. Sure, there are some neat stunts some people do that are amusing and harmless, but there's always someone who thinks it's amusing to pretend to have commited suicide, joined the army, gone to Russia and been conscripted into the army, or something else. Particularly on the internet where you can't actually reach across and smack someone upside the head.
Plus I live in New Zealand. It's already well into April 2nd here by the time people in the U.S. even think of doing something.
