Pranks? Oh no, that's just my Brenda Dickson impersonation

So what happens when you have three bundles of yarn, your roommate's boyfriend's keys and an hour and a half to wreak havoc? See picture to left. That's right, we covered the boys' room in yarn, strung from all places to all places. Yeah, we're that awesome. But this attack wasn't unwarranted, oh no. It started way back in the month of December...

My roommate, Kimberly, and I returned to our dorm after having lunch. We saw a medium sized cardboard box sitting outside our door. At first, we didn't really know what to make of it, wondering if someone had put it in front of our door instead of someone else's for whom it was intended for. But then, we saw it was actually addressed to us. The package was a bit on the conspicuous side, I mean, it was a cardboard box sitting outside our door, you don't see that everyday. So with caution, we picked it up and brought it inside. I sure didn't want to open it for fear it was filled with some sort of flesh-eating bacteria (of course that's what my mind goes to first). Kimberly opens it. Packing peanuts. Okay, well, that's lame. We dig through the mess. And by we I mean Kimberly because now I'm convinced there's a live snake going to poison me after I stick my hand in there. She finds a plastic container filled with tissues and gum. Okay, lamest thing ever. There was a note signed "From the Boys on Floor 5". We were definitely not buying that. We pretty much knew it was Chris and Mike (Mike is my other roommate, Brooke's boyfriend). So Kimberly and I go over there and confront them. And when I say the both of us, I mean Kimberly throws a handful of packing peanuts in their room while I hid on the other side of the wall. They play dumb. And furious. Finally, Mike caves and asks if we think Brooke will fall for it. We tell him yes, so we set it all back up for Brooke. Unbeknownst to Mike and Chris, we tell Brooke everything. We decide we are getting them back...

Our brilliant plan was set into motion. We got our hands on 200 balloons and stole Mike's keys while he was over in our room with Brooke. In the middle of the night, around 3 am or so Kimberly, Madeline (our friend from down the hall [she might as well be our fourth roommate]) and I meet in the study room. There, we blow up ALL of the balloons. We somehow forgot to figure out how we were going to transport 200 balloons from one side of the dorm to the other. We create a makeshift carrying case out of a sheet. Finally we get to the boys' room. As quiet as possible, we open the door. Mind you, Chris is still in the room, fast asleep. So as quickly and quietly as possible, we load their room with about 3/4 of the balloons and string toilet paper around the back of their room. We almost finished until Neil from across the hall decided he needed to shave at 4 in the morning! Seriously, who does that?!? Well, the noise woke Chris up and we dashed out and hid in the stair well. When we emerged, Chris had shut his door and taken Mike's key with him. Oh well, we still got him good and Mike hadn't seen it yet. We were definitely expecting some sort of retaliation...

Of course, the boys got us back. One weekend when Kimberly and I were away, Mike managed to get Brooke's keys away from her long enough to break in and throw massive amounts of glitter everywhere in our room. And I mean everywhere! I'm sure you all know glitter is the herpes of craft supplies. To this day, we are still not able to get it all out of our carpet.

Our retaliation? The yarn prank. It was beautiful. This time, instead of completing our mission while Chris was in the room, we waited until we knew he would be gone at a basketball game. We stole Mike's keys AGAIN the same exact way as before. We proceeded to string yarn everywhere in their room. It was amazing. In the process we didn't fail to take videos of our amazingness. Not sure if you've seen the Brenda Dickson spoof on Welcome to My Home on YouTube but we've been especially obsessed with it. We made a video of Kimberly being Brenda. It was awesome. We also decided this time we would wait inside the room to see Mike's reaction after he saw what we had done. His reaction is priceless! Then of course we waited for the prank in return, but boy were we let down.

To get back from us, all they did was steal my Dwight Bobble Head (which sadly I didn't notice was missing until two weeks later) and Kimberly's Mr. Potato Head nose. But yeah, lame, right? So we decided we were going to reignite the feud. Our plan is top secret, but I'll be sure to update you as soon as it happens!

In the mean time, enjoy these videos of our fabulous yarn prank!
