Best prank ever

Was about to just show this to Jax, but I think all of you will enjoy this too:

❝You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out.❞

1. First Name

For now the short version of my name: Vicky. I have been refereed to that name by few of my friends, but most people call me by my full name, despite the name having long syllables. XD

2. Age

21. Just yesterday it felt like my birthday. Now though it's November 28 and Thanksgiving just passed. Time does fly by fast.


3. Location

Not exactly going to say the exact location, but I'm in California and the city where I'm living at is a half hour drive where I go to my university, which is University of California, Riverside.

4. Occupation

Full time university student studying Business Administration with concentration in financial economics, going in my last year. I also have a part time job in my school's dining services and do volunteer work at the library in my city. After I graduate, I hope to either go somewhere in finance or teaching (math or economics since I have taken both types of the courses, which is required for my concentration).

5. Partners

Like Brian Powell, no business partners? :P Other than that, I don't plan to have one until after I settled for a good career. Doesn't stop me from having crushes time to time, though. >.>

6. Kids

None. I would like to have one or two kids, but any more than that not sure I can handle.

7. Brothers/Sisters

One younger sister who will be starting college on the same day as her birthday in January. XD

8. Pets

A kitty my dad found in August. He's such a cutie. :3

9. List 3/5 biggest things going on in your life

School and work, which takes up most of my time.

Preparing job applications already, since recruiting season is already starting for some finance firms.

Planning out a couple one shot stories and a rewrite of one of my older fics.


10. Parents

My dad is an automechanic, so if the family cars broke them, he'll be able to fix them. XD He knows a lot about business from watching a lot of news and PBS and asking a lot of people about the business world from his customers, so that's part of reason why I got interested in business in the first place. He's usually calm, but he can be hot tempered sometimes.

My mom is a housewife so she does everything from cleaning to cooking. I help around the house sometimes though (and getting criticized sometimes not doing a good job like her, though -_-), She tends to criticize people a lot, especially her own family and relatives. Other than that, she's very friendly.


11. Who are your closest friends

Like Astinus, not even going to answer. All my friends, online and real life, are unique in their own ways and I won't go about ranking them

While I'm totally baffled about how something as twisted as Twilight actually is (i.e., abusive stalker boyfriend = pure love?) and how riddled with predictability it is (main character + main character = ANGSTY LOVE, and female human character turns into epic vampire of epicness), I can't help but think that the prank was a bit much. I mean, it's like luring a bunch of frat boys to a stripper joint, only to have their professors come out and tell them their papers are due the next day as opposed to having hot girls in bikinis rubbing themselves against poles. It's funny in theory, but the comedians just did it to piss people off instead of letting the Twatlighters make asses of themselves on their own and putting it on YouTube.

I admit, the prank has gone a bit far now I think about it. Heck, if I remember correctly, the vampire myths changed a bit and varies from country to country. That's one of the reasons why I thought that guy is unfit to do a vampire intervention. :P That, and the last line, "Twlight fans are dumbest people on earth," line irked me. Other than those things, I do believe those people need to be hit with reality, but maybe something more effective than a prank.

As for the Twalighters making asses of themselves on YouTube, reminds me of that one woman that was pissed off with Stephen King's remark that Meyers can't write. :P

When I saw the word 'intervention' I was expecting them to show the Twilight fans back-to-back classic vampire films, just to show them what vampires are 'supposed' to be like--which would have at least given the people their money's worth 'cos they'd have at least seen something. But they didn't do that, so it turned out to more prickish and less meaningful than it could've been, and not really an intervention at all. I was actually a little disappointed.

I already mentioned to Jax how now I think about it, there are other ways to do it than a prank. Not exactly sure about showing back to back vampire films though because maybe those films will not exactly show how a vampire is supposed to be like. Then again, anything not by or based on Anne Rice is fine. :P *gets shot*

Yeah, my boyfriend told me all about this, so I got really excited when you posted this, hoping it would do more justice to the story.

It was amusing, but...as mentioned, it's not so much any sort of intervention as "point and laugh at all the people who thought they were going to a movie premiere." It was set up pretty well, but it really didn't deliver in the end - I was hoping for a real lecture on vampires, maybe a movie clip like peedee mentioned, but unless they really cut out a lot...it was just some guy yelling and ripping RPattz. Nothing stimulating, nothing that really taught the Twitards anything (hell, it took them ages to realize it was a prank) and nothing they could really take away from it.

Some intervention. :P


Also, nice to meecha, Vicky. ^^

That's actually the amusing part to me: took them a long time to realize that. Heck, I even think it'll take them a long time if they watch a clip of a vampire movie. Other than that, repeated a million times already the prank was a bit much. :P We'll just leave it at that then: some intervention. XD

And who you're calling Vicky? D: Oh right, I mentioned my name finally. :P

c-c-c-combo breaker!

Not exactly going to say the exact location, but I'm in California and the city where I'm living at is a half hour drive where I go to my university, which is University of California, Riverside.

I could probably deduce where you live with this info since we live in the same general area.

Thirty minutes from Riverside huh? The actually sounds like the city I live in now. D:

[bay115.livejournal.com]

Depends which freeway you take and how far is your neighborhood. >.> Takes me thirty minutes because I live the far side of the city and have to drive the street for a while until I get the freeway I want to take me to the university. XD

[br33z3h.livejournal.com]

Yeah, can pretty much take the 91-E straight from where I am, though I forgot the freeway I need to merge onto to get to UCR haha. I think I-215 or something.

Am I in stalking perimeters?

Oooh, I like that meme! It's very useful for getting to know people =D
