   Most of my more recent Christmases haven’t been that exciting, but one from my childhood stands out.

   My aunts like to have us (me and my cousins) “entertain” them by singing and dancing and stuff (they can’t do it so much anymore now that we’re old enough to say “No” and do our own things XD) and when we were younger, they’d tell us stuff like, “You have to sing really loudly so that Santa will hear you! If you don’t sing loud enough, he’ll miss our house and he won’t bring you lots of presents!” And being naive, innocent little children, we believed them.

   Anyway, they had us singing Christmas carols for who-knows-how-long. Well…to tell you the truth, it was more like screaming Christmas carols since our aunts were telling us to sing louder o_O; In any case, eventually, Santa strolled right into the house! Oh, we were so excited!! He sat down in a chair and gave out the presents. Meanwhile, my cousins and I began to suspect something.

   Cousin 1: Hey, where’s Dad?
   Aunt: He went out to get food.
   Cousin 2: Hey, Santa is really Dad!!
   Aunt: What? What are you talking about? This is the real Santa!
   Cousin 1: No, it’s really Dad! *pulls back Santa’s sleeve* Look! The armhair is the same as Dad’s!!

   No joke. That last line is the most vivid part of this memory XD

   We never could “convince” my aunts that this Santa was a fake. But strangely enough, after Santa left, my uncle came back…Coincidence? You decide!

2. Renji_06
   When the clock struck twelve, my uncle burst into the dining room wearing this huge Santa clause outfit! We just stared at him for a few seconds when he suddenly blurted out: “Er….Happy new year?” his fiance than appeared behind him and whispered that he got the greeting wrong and we all started laughing.

   It didn’t seem so bad anymore after that.

   Last year i broke my leg and i woke up christmas mornign ( in the morning) i had to go pee really bad and it took me two hours to get down stairs and about 10 minutes to get to the bathroom, by then i was about to pee my pants i was lucky no one was in there XD
4. Kaize Yumezo
   Every Christmas my family and I, along with our relatives from my mom’s side of the family, get together for Christmas. This one time, out of the greatest coincidences, that majority of us cousins (all 14 of us) were wearing the color scheme of Black and Red. XD
5. neko_kyo92
   This one year everyone was at my house for christmas. the parents were gambling and i decided to join. i think i was 6, but anyways, i joined. It was fun becuz i was small i always got the good hand some reason. all the money they had put onto the cloth, i took them all and hid them under the cloth. my uncle and me strted fighting becuz i got all reds and diamonds. my uncle was like. “but i have a full house.” i started crying so they gave me the win. i continued to put money under the cloth but then the game was over. they all showed all their treasures. i didnt know how much i had, but then wen we lifted up the cloth, a huge pile of loose change was revealed. i was very happy i won that much :]
6. Koneko-chan
   My little cousin one year got really mad and knocked over the Christmas tree. x3;; It blew the fuse.
7. emochild
   well i live in ottawa, ontario, so in 1998 we had a really bad ice storm, our house had a tree fall on it, so my parents and i, we had a trailer with propane in the backtyard, so we moved into that, and we moved the tree inside the trailer, and we had christmas with lights and electricity and heat, so it went from an awful christmas to a good one, the only thing that sucked was that power was out for like 1 month or so!
8. Atsu-chan
   Another year, when i was 4, I got Chicken Pox. I couldn’t go to my grandma’s house in Arkansas for Christmas. So, i stayed home and ended up opening tons of presents..get-well presents AND Christmas presents!
9. ouranfan101
   Well…..once when I was in Iowa for a family Christmas, I was opening my presents. And I wasn’t the only one named Katie, so I was confuesd which ones were for me and for the older Katie. And I opened a present, and it was perfume. It turned out it was for the other Katie. XDD
10. malice94
    One year there was a huge ice storm and the electicity went out so we soent christmas morning in a hotel XD

   Okay. We were at a resturant in a gigantic mall with family friends.
   Order of positioning at table.

   So my friend needed to get out to go to the bathroom and crawled under the table. I felt something brush against my leg and did the first thing any sensible person would have done.
   I screamed bloody murder.
   Reaaaaaaaly loud. THe whole resturant turned to look at me. God it was really embarassing and unexpected. i THOUGHt she was a DOG or something.
2. Aeternus
   I have one that’s both highly awkward and unexpected…
   It was in my first year of university (last year) and I lived in residence, sharing a room with one of my high school friends. I came back from my classes an hour or two early one day, only to open the door and find my roommate and her naked boyfriend in the room. Luckily, I only saw his backside and nothing more, otherwise I would have been severely traumatized. Anyway, I stood there in shock, just staring at my friend’s naked boyfriend and wondering what the most polite thing to say/do would be. Then my friend was like, “I…uh…think you should leave for a bit.” And then I said, “Yeah…I think so, too.” And I slowly closed the door and didn’t return for about half an hour…
3. Koneko-chan
   In the middle of my band concert, I decided to stop playing (I couldn’t play anyway. x3) and talk to my friend beside me. The song ended and I finished my sentence with “and all these idiots here.” It echoed across the entire room so everyone heard it…
4. emochild
   well, i had on these cat ears, they were like a head band, and i wore them to a bus station, and well this old lady asked if she could pet my head, i said okay… i was a little sketched out by her, but oh well she’s an old lady, she’s harmless right? SHE TRIED TO STEAL MY EARS!!!! she had a walker, did she think that she would outrun me? I asked her politly for them back, and she said, what ears, this is my cat, and then she kissed the ears, and petted them…. in the end i let her keep them, but it was so wierd…
5. AnimeDudess
   I was perved by on of my male classmates when designing something… was whacked on the butt… O.o|l’
6. Renji_06
   I was with my brother in his school when suddenly this guy, an underclassman, went to him and suddenly sang the song “If you were gay” at the top of his lungs.
   I think everybody at the hallway stared at us until the song finished.
7. Ichigo Neko
   Last year… well.. this year, in New years. xD Me and my cousins were playing by the sidewalk at night. (11am!) because there was this party with all teh cousins and all and yah, then all of a sudden these guys shouted outta their car, “WOOOOOO! HAPPY NEW YEARS, BABY!!!!” And then they played ‘We wish you a merry Chritsmas’ REALLY loud on their stereo. xDD
8. Ichigo Neko
   I was poked by some guy in the shopping center. He scared me. :\ I was so freaked out, I nearly kicked him where the sun never shines. Who the crack was he?! O.o;;;
9. Atsu-chan
   When Dustin, a boy who has been harassing me for monthes, suddenly came up to me in P.E. and leaned over, kissing my cheek. It happened out of nowhere..we’re friends now, but that kiss…
10. neko_kyo92
    me too! except my frend chris, a junior now, did that. ok anyways, for me..the unexpected thing that happened to me was when my frend joey kissed me on the lips at my homecoming dance.

What is the most unexpected thing that happened to you?

1. Michru Kanzaga
   Ancient Ireland…back in the time of the druids and waring clan chieftains…it would be amazing to meet some of the people I grew up hero worshiping…to take part in the rite’s of passage’s, walk in the scared groves and celebrate the birth of the season’s in true pagan fashion
2. little_kitty
   I am secretly in love with frilly dresses like any natural Lolita would XD; So 18th Century Versailles would be ideal<3 Of course without the corsets thanks X_X;; I can live without those.
3. twistafate
   If not, I’d like to be born in the Tang Dynasty of China as one of the people of the higher classes. The golden age of art and literature in one of the oldest civilizations in the world! I can imagine the art overload.
4. Mirai^
   I also want to be born in the 1200′s in the Philippines. Coz.. you know, I heard they allowed gay marriages back then before the whole Spanish Colonization times. WOULDN’T YOU WANNA SEE THAT?! I SURE AS HECK WOULD~!<3
5. Aeternus
   I would love to born around the early 1900′s so I could live through the 1920′s…that way, I could be a Flapper (minus the smoking…smoking’s bad for you~)! What I consider conservative during these times would be SO risqu? then. I would shock everyone by wearing knee-length skirts! Mwahahahah
6. maniackiller
   Definitely a ronin in Feudal Japan, preferably a member of the Shinsengumi (local police force). Living the samurai code ‘Bushido’, carrying a katana and slashing opponents! *is too influenced by Peacemaker Kurogane*

   I’d walk through the market place, sit down at a corner alley and just watch the world go by. And perhaps when I’m feeling hungry, head to the nearest teahouse and have an onigiri. Munch it slowly, return to the shinsengumi headquarters and continue to fight!

7. Mirai^
   Lastly I want to be born in the 30′s! Jazz! The beginnings of rock and roll! The mafia! Those funky bead sequin dresses and the swimcap-type hats! XD Dazzling lights and dances every night in the midst of Chicago. Oh yes, I would love to cut a rug, Mister! (I would also want to meet with George Gershwin~~<333333 and.. *cough* END THE SEGREGATION!!!!! >O )
8. megame_chan9
   I want to be a child of the 90′s again. I’ve always thought the music back then was better than the songs they’re churning out now.
9. Renji_06
   I’d want to be born in the Philippines, around the time of the Japanese invasion in WW II. I’d always wanted to be a soldier out to protect the country from those who wish to corrupt her.
10. Kouji
    Feudal Era Japan…Some heir to a clan that had a part of the country… If not Id like to be Tokugawa Ieyasu…

1. Atsu-chan
   I threw a temper tantrum on purpose in order to get a 40$ set of anime plushies.
2. ouranfan101
   I have to agree with Ichi, everything I do is childish!! XDDD And I’m a pre-teen. So I’ll think……*thinks*

   When I found out that Sprite makes me hyper. I was literally bouncing of the walls XDDDD I drank Sprite yesterday, I was typing 100,000,000 mph. XDDD

3. Ichigo Neko
   Ooh~ *3* Awesome topic!

   Umm.. Since I am still a child, I can’t really answer this, so… er.. yeah. I can’t answer this. O.o;; Because everything I do IS childish…

   But.. I guess, as a baby, I used to run around the house… nekkid. O.o;;

4. AnimeDudess
   I left childhood not too long ago so…

   Hm… when I was little, I loved my Elmo toy so much I took it with me to a wedding. xD

5. Koneko-chan
   When I was at the mall today, I called my aunt and in front of all of my friends, I accidentally called her Auntie-kins…
6. Aeternus
   The most childish thing I have ever done was believe that I was mature.

1. Nuri
   This is kind of a funny memory now that I’m an adult…

   1st grade! I got suspended for biting this boy’s hand when he tried to take my HELLO KITTY eraser. OH HELLS NO! NOT THE SANRIO MERCHANDISE!!! >;O

   He was such a baby, started crying and I didn’t even break the skin.

   Pansy.

2. Koneko-chan
   I tend to get physically violent for some reason. *sniff* So anyway, this guy who had been stalking admiring me for a year got the courage to ask me out on a date. (I really hate him. >w<) So I smile at him, say no, punch him in the face, and run. My aunt found out and laughed. x3
3. Liana
   When i was about 6 years old, i found some monopoly money… and i though, wow i’m rich.. i am going to go to the depaneur (corner store) and buy alot of candy! I forgot to tell my parents that i was leaving… mind you i was 6… and i walked out of the back yard and onto the side walk…

   So i went to the store, and grabbed as much candy bars as i could and tried to pay the guy with my monopoly money… well he got pissed off at me and called the cops, and at that moment my parents ran into the store and yelled at me for running away, and stealing chocolate bars…then about 5 minutes later the cops showed up.. they all laughed at me, and i cried… i was grounded for the first time, when i was 6 cause of the “Monopoly Incident”

4. maniackiller
   Well… I haven’t gotten into much trouble in my current life. But there was this somewhat grim moment:

   A couple of years back, I went to buy the newly released Volume 30 of Naruto. Went into the CROWDED shop and there were none on the shelves. Thus, I asked the guy behind the counter for one. He handed me a copy. It was then I realized I had no money in my wallet. So I handed it back to him and told him to keep it for me while I borrowed some money from my mother. ( We were out shopping and she was waiting for me at a nearby cafe)

   The guy grunted, and I saw him place it on the shelf beside him before I left. When I came back with the money minutes later, I asked for the comic. Instead of taking it from the shelf, he kept insisting he saw me take it home- WITHOUT PAYING.

   The trouble was at it’s peak when he picked up his cellphone and wanted to call the police. The guy kept on saying I was a shoplifter, even when I insisted I did not take it. I think I got hysterical by the fifth ‘I returned it to you’. xD Everyone was staring.

   Just when I was about to burst into tears ( or call my lawyer), I remembered the comic was on the shelf. And pointed it out in the loudest tone possible. Everyone turned to the said comic. Then the guy muttered that he remembered now: I did hand it back to him, he had forgotten about it.

   I could finally leave the shop, then- without any suspicion.

   Well… there you go! Was that too long?

5. twistafate
   When I was younger, there was a room in our house that had jalousies that my brother and I can reach the top of by standing on top of a box-like object. Whenever we played something like “Fortress”, where the room would be the fortress, and when someone would walk by, we would try and prevent that person from getting into the room. The window was the best look-out point the room had, and the best way to use it was to get up and look from the top most part of it. Our nanny always told us to stop climbing on top of the box-like object because we could fall. But since that never happened to us yet, we kept on climbing on top of it.

   Until, of course the day that I was on top of it and I fell. That wouldn’t have been too bad, except for the fact that when I fell, I accidentally took about two of the glass slats with me. So they became shattered and I cut my head. My brother called our nanny, who called my parents, who then rushed me to the hospital to have my head stitched up. My parents sort of reprimanded me because of my carelessness and also because I didn’t listen to my nanny. But I guess they think that my 6 cm. long scar at the back of my head is punishment enough.

6. Haru Naojii
   Hmmm.. I don’t get in trouble often, but my mom was pretty hysterical after I did this:

   My family had been invited over to a party at one of my brother’s friend’s house. He had been told to wear a bathing suit because they were going to swim in the pool out back. After they splashed around for an hour or so they were starting to wrap up the party. My parents handed my brother a towel to dry off with; he wrapped himself tightly in the towel and stood there listening to conversation near the pool. Being devious at that point, I took my lead and shoved him backwards into the pool. With tears in his eyes, he thrashed to stay afloat(he was seven and in 5 ft water). My mother screamed at me and scolded, making a huge scene. Although I regret it to this day, it was rather funny to see my parents fish the crying boy from deep end. *innocent smile*

7. AnimeDudess
   In grade one, my friend was sleeping for some reason in class, so I poked her… and then she needed to throw up.
8. lola
   I went to a boat cruise held by my workplace, with my friend and co-workers.
   The problem was I wasn’t supposed to.
   I went straight from work.
   So it was getting late, and my parents were worrying. For some reason, I wasn’t getting any reception on my cell phone.
   So it was like wayy past midnight, and I was still out downtown, at the harbour.
   I called to get a ride, and got yelled at for not telling them where I was, or for not picking up the phone.
   My response was very calm, and it was “You didn’t give me a clear answer, so I thought it was up to me, and I decided to come. So now, I’m going to go where the other people are going, so I’m not going to be alone at the harbour waiting for a ride. Pick me up at the station.”

   I was like totally freaking out inside. But somehow I made it sound like I’m responsible, and that they weren’t clear.

9. MidoriAislinn
   There is this one time that I got in trouble along with several of my friends and will never forget for a long time to come. It happened just this summer. Six of my friends and I were on a trip to our cabins with our parents. Our parents are great, completely liberal; so it’s alright for us to go off, fool around and have what fun we will (there are limits, though). Anyways, on one night, my friends and I were attending a bonfire with a bunch of other young people. However, as much fun all the smoke and drunk people were, we got bored after a while and snuck off.

   Where to? The dock of course. More specifically, the dock with boats tied to it. We came across this particularily pretty swan boat and next thing I knew we were all aboard and off. Now, seven people on one swan boat…do not ask how that happened and I won’t try to explain it.

   It was pretty dark and we were paddling in a random direction when two of my male friends decided it would be a clever idea to climb on top of the swan’s head. Now, this might have worked if they went one at a time but no, they had to go at the same time. What should happen next but the snapping of the swan head, followed by the flipping over of the boat itself and all seven of us in the cold, cold water.

   We swam back to shore, with the broken boat in tow. Soaked, cold, peeved and having to explain how we managed to break a boat, we were not a happy group. Oho, but our unhappiness was nothing compared to our parents’. Let’s just say, some of us are still facing the reprecussion of their unhappiness.

    In my 4th year of High School (2 years ago). The factions in the class where ready to basically kill each other. So they brought out their weapons mostly beer bottles and umbrellas and was ready to give chase with their cars.

    I stood in the middle of the road and shouted that if they wanted to kill each other, they would have to kill me X_X …then after a few heated minutes they left for home. so the two factions left the party and I slightly collapsed and said “well, at least no one got hurt” ….

    We continued the party XD

1. Ichigo Neko
   Another! At lunch time(YESTERDAY), I shouted, “EVERYONE IN MY CLASS, I’LL TELL YOU WHO I LIKE!!” Everyone came and I said, “….I like…. cheese.”

   Good times~

2. Ichigo Neko
   Hmm… I remeber… a few years ago.. at someone’s birthday(It was a really big one!) .. I went over to the microphone on stae and began to sing the Egg Song with my.. ‘cute’ voice. No-one was expecting it and I just sang it outta nowhere/it wasn’t on the part schedule… When I finished, everyone was clapping and going “Awwww…!!!” I felt so happy for some reason! When I got off stage, people where surrounding me and saying “Where did you learn that?” Blah blah blah blah. ^^ Here’s the egg song; http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/eggsong

   My voice sounded almost exactly the same!!

3. AnimeDudess
   it was my 13th party, and we were eating, and, well, considering all my friends are younger than me, they’re… well, anyway, they were like talking really loud and laughing and all that. One of my friends was a bit annoyed and told me to try and keep them quiet. So I signal them to be quiet coz I have a “speech”.

   So they’re all quiet, and I say, “I’ll like to thank everyone, but I’m afraid I can only thank one person and one person only – ME!!”

   …yeah… I have more, but I’ll say later… xD

4. Ichigo Neko
   I once lead a conga line consisting of 66 people!
5. wiccachick5
   My moment of glory? Easy! When I was about 9 years old and I won the district violin concerto competition… hahaha I was really happy at the time because I had practically given up my social life to practise but I won it.. $100 prize for my age group.. However, ironically I gave up classical music and changed to electric violin soon after and started playing jazz and blues violin!!!
6. Mirai^
   And another was swimming the 5km triathlon path in the ocean with my brother’s ex before the official game started. We wanted to see how it was like since we weren’t prepared enough to participate (my brother did and he won first place in his division~^o^) and I was fascinated with how deep the route was (the reefs were HUGE and there were lotsa fishies).
7. twistafate
   I think I have a number of “moments of glory”… But i think the most memorable would’ve been around 2-3 years ago.

   I was chosen and asked by the school to participate in the news writing section in a journalism contest, the Quintin Yuyitung Awards. So, we had to attend this seminar thing about news writing, before the contest proper, and I didn’t even take notes at that seminar while all the other contestants were scribbling their notes away. Even when the speaker started talking about Faye San Juan, I just sat there and listened. When the time for the contest proper came, the topic that we were supposed to write a news article about was none other than Faye San Juan. I sort of panicked right then and there( something along the lines of this guy: or maybe this one: ), while the other people were writing and referring back to their notes. But I did get myself together and wrote up an article from what I could recall from what the speaker said.

   I got an Honorable Mention in News Writing (English) for that, and up to this day, I still wonder why I got that award. More of a lucky moment of glory thing, though…

8. Michru Kanzaga
   Hmmm…I think the moment of glor that I remember most was when I was still in school. I would have been about 13 and my teacher hated me..with a passion but she had a reason I guess. I was a really troublesome student who was always getting into trouble and never handing in homework. Anyway during a “talk” she had lost her temper and snapped at me saying I would never pass my junior cert…(big exam in Ireland that say’s exactly what you can study for the last two years of your secondary education).

   So on the day of the results when I had passed all my exams and gotten the results I wanted, I walked over to her and showed her the results.

   There was nothing better right then proving to someone that no matter what they thought of me, they would never actully know me.

9. twistafate
   My mom keeps telling me this whenever she’s complaining that I don’t read as much as I used to.

   When I was around three years old, my mom came home from work and found me “reading” a book. She thought I was just playing with it and looking at the pictures instead. So she went and asked me to read whatever word she pointed to in the page I was looking at, thinking I wouldn’t be able to read it. And I was able to read it all by myself. I showed her!

10. silverwoulfe
    My moment of glory was more like a quiet victory. There’s this girl in school who’s constantly competing against me. She always, as in ALWAYS, compares what I do to the supposedly “better” things she does.

    Well, when we had our thesis proposal, her group (3 members) re-proposed (meaning, they had a second proposal), and got a grade of 1.5 (which has the highest that time). She asked me what my thesis was about, and had the gall to call it boring! >O I just let it pass, though.

    When I proposed my thesis (I did not have to re-propose it again, and yes, I’m alone in my thesis), I did not proclaim my grade, but then she came to me and asked anyway. I told her my grade was 1.3. Her face was like *shocked* then something like an “O~kaaay…” smile. It was interesting to see her reaction on how my “boring” thesis got a higher grade than hers.

1. Seph
   If I was given the power to see through things (assuming I’ll get to choose the degree I want to see through), the first thing I’d do is to treat myself to a ticket of a girls soccer game. It wouldn’t be bad or anything, maybe just a few glimpses of underwear here and there. I mean… can you imagine watching a game of soccer where all the players are in their undies? *wide grin*
2. Gluttony
   If I had the power to survive underwater and speak to sea creatures, I’d marry Aquaman.
3. Simply_Syra
   *Goes Hiro on everyone*

   I would like to have the ability to travel in time. There are so many things that I am curious about from the past that I would like to see. Who wouldn’t want to follow Confucius or Aristotle around and ask them questions? (Language barriers aside…) What about see what color a T-rex really was? What if I could go see if there really was a Trojan horse?

   And I’ve been reading a lot of world history lately, and I’m always saddened by the amount of people who get caught up in the currents of change and end up being tossed aside and dying alone in jail cells or ditches. I wouldn’t want to change the past, but maybe I could just sit with them so they wouldn’t have to die alone….

   On a lighter note, maybe I’d go back in time so that I could see Miyavi at his last indies live at Nihon Budakan. ^_^; The possibilities are endless…

4. Seph
   We’re allowed to have any super power we want, ne? Well, I’ve been using those scalpels in the forum often enough, but it’d be pretty neat to really be able to form weapons from my blood. Besides the fact I’ll be a walking arsenal, I also won’t have to be afraid of any mugging event that happens to come my way.

   The first thing I’ll do is go to an anime convention cosplayed as someone with a huge heavy weapon. They have rules against people bringing in metal weapons… but what about those of blood? Of course… I’m hoping this power includes the amplification of a drop of blood… because otherwise, I’d die from blood loss just making my weapon.

5. Liana
   If I were given the power of being able to stop time by holding my breath (I once saw a Dragon Ball Z episode where one of the villians did that!) then I would definately use it in my sport- Fencing! (yes everyone- I’m a epee fencer of 7 years experience)

   I would like to hold my breath in the midle of my opponent’s attack and then have every around me freeze in time and I could see what he/she is doing, thus having time to think about how I was going to parry or avoid the attack!

   NEAT!!! I would try not to do it too often- (its more fun when you are losing sometimes- it makes you try harder lol!) but it would be soooo useful when it comes to competitions!!!!!!

   I wish I had those powers!

6. smart82
   I would like to see things in a slow motion and move in super speed! Imagine how I can be the fastest and first of everything. I don’t have to go through all the hassle by taking bus to work! So definitely I’ll try to run from my house to the office…hehe..I guess I even can burn more fat with it!
7. mzcho
   i would have the power to get into people’s mind and make my science teacher go insane.
   but he already is insane…the thing is only i know it (and you guys, now) and i think it’s my duty to show the world his insanity.

   so, yeah. i would like to be a voice in his head. yup, that’s a crazy cool power.

8. commanderjay
   If I had the power of the wind and extreme dexterity…..I would ….

   Always train at night outside near a cemetery, by cutting twigs in half and trying to kill mosquitoes in the DARK !!!!

9. Seph
   Frankly, I simply wish for a power that actually exists in real life- that of a photographic memory. Well, I suppose I wouldn’t mind if it was a super developed memory (and hence it’s a super power) since then I wouldn’t have to worry so much about tests and learning certain things.

   Sadly, the first thing I’d do after getting such a power would be just to remember the birthdays of my family members! That’s how bad my memory is. Ugh, names and numbers….

10. Gluttony
    If I had the power to control water, I’d create a beach in the desert.

1. Satoki
   Where to begin … XD;

   Um, on our sports carnival week, some policeman’s son tipped jelly into the pool. Tons of it. The jelly half-set, ’cause it wasn’t enough, but even so, no-one knew. The first race is the blindfolded novelty games, which are awesome. Anyhow, we couldn’t tell that there was jelly in the pool – it blended in, incognito – and the kids leapt. Now, picture six contestants half-submerged in this wobbling, badly-set jelly, legs flailing.

   Bliss xDD.

   To make matters worse, one of the kid who set up the prank’s mates actually chewed his way through it. But that’s not the end … definitely not. When they got out, it turned out that he had mixed some fast-acting gel agent to make the jel as hard as rocks and unable to come off. Now, picture six, faintly glowing, smelly, wobbling jelly-covered people … in their swimming-suits.

   Bliss, bliss xDD.

   And that’s not even the end yet! The policeman’s son then called his dad (he was in y.12, getting out next year, so it didn’t matter) and panickedly informed his dad that his school was housing glowing aliens, and the SWAT team needed to get down here A.S.AP. Finally, picture this; a panicked dad hauling six glowing ‘aliens’ away and an annoyed principal who was trying to protect her students.

   B-l-i-s-s.

   Ah, that was so funny. The y.12 policeman’s son didn’t get off lightly for calling the police – I believe his car was sold, he was put on detention for the rest of his school days and grounded for hell knows how long, but still, it was funny. Mind you, it might’ve been okay to just stick to emptying jelly into the pool…

   Freshmen too…. they dipped the engineers into purple dye and we basically got purple people walking around for a week. It stains their skin purple, head to toe. I kinda pitied them, but hey, they’re they ones who allowed themselves to go into the purple dye pools. Still, I wish I had a picture of our purple people walking around.

   Well, other than the old, give laxative-filled chocolate muffins* to the maths department prank which happened two years ago- with quite humourous results, the year 12s last year decided torun around the site locking all the individual buildings together with bicycle chains- it took the groundskeeper like an hour to get them all off- and us- we had to wait before actually having the chance to escape our classrooms!

   *The chocolate laxative muffins made my maths teacher need to go really bad near 3 o’clock- and by the time she got back the class had already left!

   Okay once we were holding a Spelling Bee at my school. And I was apart of it. Well three or four kids from my class wanted to pour green paint, foam, and whipped cream on us all. When they dropped the stuff, it got EVERYONE in the Gymnaisym(sp?) but me. I was the only one who didn’t get a speck on me. Everyone thought I did it because everyone was covered in it. But later they found out who did it and those kids got suspended but two of them got expelled!!

   I actually started a prank that went through the whole school… ^^;; There were police officers that came to my school and I had(and still don’t) no idea why. When A friend of mine, she was like.. in grade 3(This happened this year!) asked me what they were there for, I played around and said. “They found a human tongue in the tuckshop.” So she spread the word that eventually got through the school. ^^;; And it said in the newsletter thingy that the Tuckshop was… not selling anything much.

   But it’s over now.

   Well, in my town, there is this fancy restaurant about four blocks from our high school. The mascot there is a giant person so they a fifteen-foot statue standing outside of the restaurant. Anyway, some kids got their big truck and somehow took the statue and put it in the back of the truck and put it on the school’s roof without anyone noticing! They closed the school the next day and they even made the front page! The funny part is that no one saw them and they still don’t know who did it.

   Okay, I finally get a chance to do this, so….^^;;

   In our high school, the teachers were really strict and our class was really naughty, so naturally there was disaster whenever someone tried a prank.

   This one, one that happened during a Quran class (holy book for Muslims) led to four suspensions and a teacher in tears. I almost got in the thick of it which is why I never forgot it.

   Okay, so…we were all reading, when halfway through the class our teacher went outside. All of a sudden, noise broke out and people started to pass something around the class. I was at the front and paid it no mind as it was quite normal for that to happen when any teacher walked out and this one was very strict about talking…

   But I noticed something weird going on with the two girls behind me. Thinking they were talkinga bout me and choosing to ignore (I got teased a lot in High School) I turned bakc to the front til the teacher came back.

   Soon as we all got quiet again, a loud ‘fart’ ruptured the air. The teacher shot out of her chair and created a giant uproar as to who did it; she could tell it wasn’t a natural passing of gas, pretty sharp woman.

   Anyways, the girl she suspected was the one behind me and she denied it, saying it was her stomach. Then the teacher searched her bags and found a ‘whoopie cushion’.

   It turned out, while she was gone, they had been planning it out, and passing it around. Four girls got suspended, the headteacher was brought to the class and we were all repriminded on where we were and what we were doing (in the religious sense).

   I was one of the people they were going to pass it too, it turned out and I was so shocked to hear that. (I was a real goody-goody and the thought of being in so much trouble scared me to death!!) But they decided not to risk it with me as they thought I would ‘grass’ on them. XD;;

   Needless to say, those girls never dared cross that teacher again. ^^;;;

   Ohh, another one… throwing the froshmen into the swimming pool. Or, rather, they devised a ‘game’ that includes a point system, and you get the froshmen to voluntarily jump into the swimming pool, clothes and all. Something about an obstical course and a race. Poor lifeguards though, it’s their job to watch the pool, yet they couldn’t stop these crazy kids from leaping into the pool in their clothes.

   well.. me and the seniors, filled up plastic cups with water, and placed them all around the school… i am friends with the janitor who works in the school, so he was in on it… so at like 2:00 am in the morning we all entered the school, and put cups of water back to back on the floor of the school… the next day when the student entered the school, all the cups spilled.. liek a domino effect… and flooded the school.. lol… about 59 student were suspended, but they dropped the charges.. luckily our principal likes us!!! … lol… i miss high school!

    Aaa..I remember that once my classmate bought a “smelly bomb” in a form of a very small white tube. And we agreed to try it in our physics class..;P (since our physic teacher is very expresionless so we are really curious on how he will handle that!) Goshhh the smell is horrid!! Yet this teacher just realized it after we all complained about it! Amazing!… But it is really worth to see how his expression change at the end.. He keep suggesting that there are some students who (sorry..’fart’) It is bad jokes..but funny…Sorrryyyy sir…!! Luckily the smell didn’t stick!

• silverwoulfe
  Hmm, I’d like to bring this little guy to life:

  

  His name’s Pchan, coz he’s a black widdle piggy like P-chan on the
  banner there XDDD

• commanderjay
  I want my laptop be alive and stop making it make me carry it XD
• Renge Houshakuji
  I would bring my house to life like Howl’s moving castle.
• Seph
  I would bring… let’s see. Does it coun’t if we give a reason why we want something but at the same time why it wouldn’t be wise? I want to say I’d bring a dragon figurine to life because who wouldn’t want to say they have a pet dragon? But I have a feeling that even a small dragon would be high maintenance and it’ll be troublesome if it ever grows Big. Not to mention, an accidental sneeze might set things on fire. Sooo, not a dragon though it WOULD be fun.
• Liana
  Well, quite frankly, my dream is to have my paint brushes to come to life and paint under my instruction- it would be amazing to spend time actually concentrating on the image in your head rather than to worry about mixing the right colours, applying the right brush stroke or
  getting the shading right. It would be soo blissful if my paint brushes came to life!
• Simply_Syra
  I would like to bring my guitar to life.

  People are always playing their own songs on it, but I have to wonder if it might have a song of its own that it would like to share. I wonder if guitars might be like people–each with their own voice and beliefs. Except guitars would speak in songs.

  And if I was feeling down I might ask it to play something nice for me. ^_^

• Licorne
  I would like to bring my pillow to life.. that way, instead of me hugging it, it will hug me.. XDDD ah.. blessed sleep…
• Smoochy
  If I could bring one of my possessions to life, it’d be my notebook.

  My notebook has my *everything* in it. I have letters from friends, my own drawings, and my stories, too. I would love to see all of those things real and dramatic before me. It would make my world wonderful.

• Satoki
  I would bring my pencilcase to life. Imagine; a companion to share the long school-days ahead with. Someone who could tell you what stationery needed replacing, and whether you’d forgotten to pack your calculator. Someone to watch over you while you worked and helped you out with those annoying sums.

  Awesome, right? =D

• Ichigo Neko
  I would bring alive 2 things because I can’t decide… >.> And they are my toy fox, Ranger and my Mokona Plushie. Why Ranger? I would bring Ranger to life because he’s been with me since I was three years old. Is that the only reason? No. Even though I just bought him from an ordinary store, he’s been there for me when I cry, i’m angry, when i’m happy and playing with my friends… Let’s just say… Ever since I bought him and he means soooo much to me. I’m 11 now, and I still love him ^^

• Mirai^ – ~On coming to uni rather late~
  Friend: Where the hell have you been?
  Mirai^: My pillow and blanket tag-teamed in seducing me in bed.
• Satoki – My mum asked how come the pages of her Women’s Journal were apparently glued together … and why they smelt like ROTTEN SANDWICHES. Just remembering that I had squashed my super sticky sandwich there a while ago and conveniently neglected to clean it up, I made up the following excuse…

  ‘In Science, we were asked to use cat/dog food to make paper mache statues. U-um, it’s to test the properties of processed food especially for animals…’

  And she believed me, yay, due to the fact my science teacher at the time was a little eccentric and VERY animal friendly. Kind of ^^;. However, I can’t use that excuse again, because opportunities like are rare and few.

• Atsu-chan – I told my teacher, “Mrs.Roe! I would never do that!….Only when I’m
  feeling evil.”

  I was lying though…She thought i slapped another student..and because I’m SO good..she didn’t believe the other kid! and i AM evil!

• Darkisc – So, a few years back, ok maybe 5 years back I had gotten into this
  little phase where I was obsessed with eating walnuts. I don’t know why, but I was. I’d buy whole bags of the walnuts still in the shell, and I’d crack them open with my hands.

  So, there was this one day in late November, where I’d gone to a friend’s house to hang out. and when I got there, he looked at my pocket and asked “Dude, what the heck do you have in your pocket?! It’s all lumpy, and looks freaking gross!”

  I simply responded. “Ah yes, you must be referring to my lovely collection of squid tentacles I keep in my specially vacuum sealed bag, that way when bear approach I can whiff a good rancid ploom of rancid tentacles at the bear who quickly runs away with disgust. Knowing that the smell is too much like tendonitus (even though it had nothing to do with smell). The bear will fear for it’s life as I enjoy my safety another day.”

  My friend was of course responding. “Dude, you have issues.”

  Of course, when I left my friend’s house late that night, I had showed him what was really in my pocket, which he thought made more, yet no sense at all as to why I carried walnuts in my pocket. when I got home, the bulge had only gotten larger in my pocket because I bought
  more at the store.

  When I walked past my dad, he was quick to spot me, as he went, “Son, come here.” As I got to him, he went, “Show me what you have in your pocket.” He thought I was trying to sneak something into my room, he used to be a cop, so it’s natural to him. Though, when I pulled out a
  large zip-lock back filled with tons of walnuts, my father looked at me and went “Son, why in the world are you carrying a sack of walnuts in your pocket?”
  I had to think quickly, so my response came out something like this. “Because, if you think about it, the squirrels around here have been getting really aggressive. So when I carry the walnuts around, I have a two birds with one stone weapon. The squirrels here really don’t like me too much, so they try to hurt me with acorns and almonds. Or the try to chew on my head. So, if I open my bag of nuts, and start throwing, I can knock one guy out, as the others quickly get
  distracted by the fact there’s an even bigger nut in the area. So, I’m saving mankind in the town of Antelope by keeping the squirrels happy and pre-occupied so they will no longer gain thoughts of taking over the world so they can force us to harvest their nuts. The quirrels
  shall pay.”

  My father only shook his head and walked off “You’re weird, that was just out there son.”

  I thought it was fun.

• Kiruhari – Once I didn’t get an assignment done and the teacher asked me why and I said “Well, i set my stuff inside the house and went out to get the mail. Forgetting I locked the door, so I was stuck outside from 3:34-11 pm.” I couldn’t believe he believed me.

  It’s pretty much true but the time is a little different, i got locked out my house from 3:34-5:30 and didn’t want to do my homework. It works to ’cause my peoples work to 11pm sometimes.

  The same day i made another excuse to get out of both 5th and 6th periods. I told the nurse I had a very bad headache and everytime i heard a semi-loud noise it really really hurt. I was acting really good too, I was all crying and stuff….They sent me home after that….

• wiccachick5 – Actually, this one didn’t work, cause my mom is dead, but i think it’s still is plausible for other ppl…

  i had to do my homework last night, but i forgot, so this is what i told my teacher…

  “I had to go bail my mom out of jail again, so i couldn’t do my homework”

  She looked at me strangly and laughed at me, and said i was off the hook, cause i made her laugh.

• maniackiller – I didn’t give this excuse, but a classmate of mine did. I just had to
  share it xDD

  The whole class didn’t do the trigonometry homework, so our furious teacher ordered everyone to give a reason for not doing it. My classmate’s excuse?

  “Sorry, miss- but I decided that watching Spiderman 3 was a higher priority than trig homework.’

  The best part… she got away with it xD

• Liana – Well- as a child, i always liked looking at my mum’s jewelery because
  she had so many lovely pearls and jeweled brooches etc. Anyways- When I was about 7 or 8, I ‘borrowed’ my mums gold owl brooch to wear without her knowing (mainly just to show off to my friends at school) but i lost it at lunch time and started freaking out, knowing mum would ground me forever if she had found out I had lost it at school. When she asked me about it a few days later I ‘confessed’: I said that I took it out of her box and was playing with it outside on the veranda. I then told her than a huge crow swooped down, grabbed it in its beak and flew off with it. I then burst out crying and told her how scary the crow was and mum comforted me- telling me now to worry and how brave i was facing the bird.

  I still cannot believe i got away with that…

• neko_kyo92 – this was when i was 6. i was over at my cousin’s house playing with my oldest cousin. me and him always play video games. this on time, we played football and i kept my player going in circles all the way to the touchdown. however, my cousin finally tackled me. anyways, my aunt came to pick me up and i told her i didn’t want to go. she said. “you
  have to, your mom wants u home now.” i just looked up at her and said.

  “i don’t want to go home. i want to stay here and play. beside to, i have to stay because he’s controlling my mind right now. he’s telling me to stay. so if i stay i’m free. if i don’t, i’ll be a slave
  forever.”

  eventually i got to stay but then got yelled at by my mom xDD

• Ichigo Neko – I farted in class once and then all my friends looked at me so I pointed at my teacher and pretended to laugh at her because I was sitting up front and they believed me that the teacher was the one to fart! xDD
