Pranks. . .

I've been away for a while. Honestly, while I enjoyed the Easter egg hunt, eventually I just reached a point where I had to throw the towel in until it was over.

The best prank ever played on me? Well, gong back a little. A year ago, I was in Ecuador. In Ecuador, as you may know, they have a festival called Carnival. Basically, the idea is to get all your sins out there so that Lent will be worth it. Anyway, I was getting ready for class when my boss announced that he had brought a cake for the occasion. I went into the common room and was enjoying a slice of the cake when he sprayed me with pink foam. The stuff stung my eyes and some of it got on the cake and made it taste soapy. After that, I watched while all of the other teachers and employees of the school got theirs. Even the receptionist, who not being a teacher, wore good clothes to school was not spared.

Anyway on another note. I learned that I won an Honorable Mention in a poetry contest. I think that's kind of cool because the poem was really a rush job. I've linked to it below. Warning: It's not one of my pleasanter poems.
