Earlier today my good friend Amanda wrote a post about friends reading her blog, for some reason it got me thinking of a lot of good Amanda stories, mainly because I think the very funny side of Amanda that has always been there has been able to shine through magnificently on her blog. Well as I was reminiscing on funny stories including Manda I thought back to the first time I saw this funny devious side come out in her.
In college I sorta began to plant myself in Amanda, Bonny, and Melissa’s apartment. One night I was over there… I think we were to be “studying” but you know with me around that NEVER happened. Well if I recall correctly I was describing some jokes I had played on my roommates and the like, and Amanda piped up and was all “Melissa is out of the house let’s do something to her room.” (Note: Melissa this should clear me of any wrong doing of that night) So we went with the classics, flipping the bed, changing out the drawers, all sorts of random little stunts. We stood there in her room trying to think of more fun things to do when all of the sudden Amanda piped up with MUCH excitement. Not sure if she was inspired by the time I made the bed of my friends truck a fish pond, but Melissa had two candles on either side of her bed (it was hard for me to describe these holders so there is a picture below of the basic idea.) and Amanda practically screamed lets put fish in the candle holders! Bonny and I looked at each other and laughed and we all jumped in the car and headed to Wal-Mart.
Amanda picked out her two favorite Beta fish and we headed back to the apartment to enact this brilliant plan. We removed the candles, filled the holders with water, set the bags in for and hour and then released the fish! It was very humorous to say the least when Melissa realized there were two Beta in her room where her candles should be. I think she got home so late that night she just left them in there. Can’t remember the names of the fish but I do remember being very impressed with my friend Amanda and her humor. I like to think I had a little to do with that wild streak… But I promise I am usually a good influence on people! Seriously… quit laughing!
Imagine the stem shorter and prettier and then the holder bigger...

That was such a fun night! I can't remember those fishes' names. I may lay awake all night because of this. What I do remember is that upon graduation, Bonny did not want to take her beta fish home. She really wanted us to put both the fish in one bowl and let them fight it out until, well, you know. I think I got a little emotional about that and needless to say I took my fish home with me! I know you were with us when we regularly unloaded our rotting food into Mike Mets' yard and tied a bag of liquified lettuce to his doorknob. Right?
Michelle! I hopped over here when Amanda gave you a shout-out at her blog. And I'm so glad I did. You are just hysterical! And what I would give to scan all of my pictures. Wow - serious dedication right there. Props to your Dad!
I'll try to make sure I stop by here more often :)
Oh my gosh that is so fun! What good times... :)
I've never in my life played a practical joke on someone until I was a camp counselor for fifth graders and that brought out the prankster in me. Nothing very creative or exciting, but I climb a tree and break into a second story cabin window so I could steal every single pair of boy underpants so we could write things on the lawn with them and fly them up the flag pole.
It was my most adventurous moment, ever. Also, did you know that some boys didn't have ANY in their suitcases, which meant they were wearing their only pair? For a week. Gracious!
Anyhoo, it's fun to live vicariously through other people's exploits, so I'll be back to your blog to see what fun things you've cooked up.
I had no idea you were a culprit!! Watch out..I might just show up in d.c.... Thanks for the laughs
