Procrastinating & Pranking

Procrastinate
not a word i feel the need to define (or use in a paper... profs are equally familiar with this word).
my life defines it.
very effectively.
FH is doing homework with me.... it's supposed to keep me on track.  so this will be short.
actually, i got a lot done this afternoon.  it was a good afternoon.  and now half the library's books about the social dimensions of sex huddle together in my bag (they're much too modest to lie around bare naked all over my bedroom floor), waiting for me to pull them out and write a paper about pimps.

but before i return to my work... the prank (by J &A).

step 1: half of pulling a good prank is knowing your victim and the things they are most sensitive about.  so... things you should know about M... a diligent student.  tidy and clean.  kind and genuinely nice to everyone. very social, but also likes time alone.  design prank scheme...

step 2: contact the housing coordinator and ask for her assistance.  she will send an email to the victim (M) on thursday afternoon, explaining that someone named Del Griffith (aka: John Candy's character from Planes, Trains and Automobiles) will be moving into the empty room next to M's sometime on sunday or monday.  they'll share the bathroom and the common area in the space.


(advantages: M is in class all day that week... he does not have time to check into the validity of the facts until the weekend... when all the offices are closed).


step 3: the housing coordinator places a sign on the door saying "welcome, Del Griffith" (like the signs on all the other doors), and places the room keys inside the unlocked, empty room.

step 4: sit and watch the chaos unfold.

clean, tidy M does not look forward to sharing a bathroom with someone.  his bathroom is always clean. always.  M does not know who this guy is, or why he's moving in halfway through the term.  K (another housemate) believes it's all a big joke that M is making up (he's usually the one making trouble).  this plays to our advantage.  M believes it to be legitimate and spends considerable time convincing the skeptics in the house that he is not making this up, and Del Griffith is really REAL.  he starts mentally preparing himself for a new roommate.
