Ya Got Me

This is the first April 1st in years that even tracked across my NORAD radar screen. I was friended by exsugo - obviously good arbiters of taste. I was glommed on by someone claiming to be friending millions (they're gone now, or I'd link). I fell for icarusancalion's post. I clicked through all the banners for FictionAlley.

Up until then, the only indication of the "holiday" was my 17-year-old daughter expressing paranoia about my 13-year-old son putting bugs in the shower. (He's been uncharacteristically quiet all day. Last night he was asking mysterious questions about Jello.) My husband spent the day with other engineers; he said that there was no indication of anything unusual (for engineers).

Do they even have April Fool's Day outside the US? I finally got organized and made a list of all my friends and where they live. I have a large cluster of Finnish friends - thanks! *waves*. Plus the not unexpected cluster of UK friends (this is HP fandom.

I'm feelin' good. (No, it's not just the Merlot talking.) ATBT is so close to being finished I can almost taste it. And I still like it, too. Rereading it, I get that "whoa, you know, this isn't too bad, really, you know, I think this might actually work" feeling. More on that in the next post; you won't take it seriously today!

Are you sure he knows that it is just first of April? I'd be very careful for now :)

Yes, besides coming in bunches we do also have Aprils Fool's day in Finland :) My daughter (6) successfully fooled me yesterday: 'You see mommy, I was taking pictures with your camera and and and and I was being really careful and and and then Bramble tripped me and and and then I fell and and and the camera fell and now it's all broken *theatrical sob*'. Thankfully her poker face isn't that good.

My son's poker face is likewise inadequate. Lately, everything he says makes him sound guilty of something, and his newest best line is "I didn't do it," in response to anything.

We have April Fool's Day in Singapore (:
The teachers feel it the most, I think lol.

I would have been terrified to try to trick any of my teachers, I think. I was always so good.

That's why I write slash now, I suppose.

For my deepest regret, everybody has April Fool's Day (btw, I was sure for a long time that it existed only in Russia). If there's a day I hate, this is it. It's ok for schoolchildren who has nothing else to do but it's really nothing but hugely annoying when you have to check all the news for the articles you write this day for the billionth time. Most jokes are not funny, they are just silly and careless. Ja, pj is harsh today, pj wanted new Icarus' chapter too much :)
