| Any day I'm not in school- I don't like school. I never asked to go there, yet I get no say in the matter. I cherish the many breaks and restructuring days I get. I never do anything when I'm not in school, but I'd rather be bored at home than busy at school. However I hardly ever see most of my friends outside of school. I don't know why, we just don't do anything afterwards. But I still enjoy everything about my days off. Being different- Everyone is different. I'm glad. It would be boring if everyone was the same. I take pride in the things that set me apart from the masses. Correcting a teacher- I love doing this. The student surpasses the master. It just goes to show you that everyone is flawed somehow. Teachers have to stay at least one lesson ahead of the students, and when a pupil breaks that groove it is a wonderful feeling. Doing something stupid for the sake of being stupid- Just because I roll my eyes at stupid people doesn't mean I can't do stupid things. When one is consciously aware of the idiocy of their actions then one is not necessarily stupid. The trait of being aware of idiocy, but continuing anyway is mainly a male trait. I don't want to be sexist, but I think most of us will agree that there are some things that most males are comfortable doing that most females aren't and vice versa. There is one game that involves guys kicking each other in the nuts until one is brought to his knees. This game was invented by males. Yes it is stupid. Yes we are aware that it's stupid. But ya know what? We do it anyway. Well, I don't. All my friends are stronger than me and could easily make me sterile. Doing what others say you can't- The really good thing about this is the part where you rub their face in it. Do my happy dance while chanting, "I did it, you su-uck, I did it, you su-uck," over and over again. Having a know-it-all answer a question incorrectly- This is similar to correcting a teacher. Seeing the system brought down. If the system were a person. They always answer the question in big long explainations that make people suspect s/he swallowed the textbook. After that five minute answer it is always satisfying to hear a big fat "WRONG!" Laughing at all those people who spent a fortune on preparations for the apocalypse- Remember Y2K? Everyone thought the world would end in a nuclear holocaust, so they all built bomb shelters and bought everything in bulk. Then midnight, nothing happened. Score one for me. Laughing at those who do something stupid- This is not the stupid I discussed earlier. This is when they do something stupid and really don't know they're doing it. They could run into something, trip over something, say something that they thought sounded right, but really wasn't. No matter what it is nice to give a nice hearty HA! Seeing how long it takes for someone to realize that they're being had- One favorite is to take tiny dots of paper and place them on the back of the head of the person in front of you. You would be surprised to see how big a pile you can make bofore they realize something is not quite right. Seeing how many people you can play the same trick on before they all catch on- Here's a good one to do with your friends. The next time you are sitting in a crowded area have one of your friends point to the sky while you all whisper among yourselves. See how many people you can get to look back and forth stupidly from you guys and the sky before they realize you're not seeing anything. Sleeping until the wee hours of the afternoon- I absolutely love sleep. I try to get 10 hours of it everyday, if not more. There is nothing like waking up in time for lunch. I am not a morning person by the way. People who make me feel smart- And there is a lot of them. Pretty much anyone who does something idiotic makes me feel superior. Yes I have my flaws too, but I don't feel so bad about mine when someone else's are glaring at me. Practical jokes- Whether it's the bucket of water on top of the door, warm water in the hand while sleeping, or the feather and whipped cream bit, practical jokes are fun for everyone (well not EVERYone, heh heh). Revenge- Usually done by means of a practical joke. Revenge by practical joke often starts a prank war which is loads of fun. To get back at someone who made an idiot out of you is a wonderful thing. Venting off my frustration by making lists like these- I enjoy making these lists. It helps me put my life into perspective. What's even better is to share these with you fine people, so you can get a chuckle or two, or nod in agreement at what I put down. Watching how "far" the speeding tailgater gets- A guy cuts you off and goes speeding down the highway only to be blocked by a slow moving vehicle while you casually pass them by. A tip for you reckless drivers out there. Speeding really doesn't help all that much. Watching Skids run into the pole that separates doors- At our old high school we had many double doors that locked by a verticle pole in the middle of them. Countless times Skids ran into this thing, once even when he was paying attention! Watching something blow up- Ah explosions. They really are great aren't they? I find nothing more awe inspiring than a mountain of fire billowing in the sky... as long as I'm out of range. Watching tailgaters get smashed- A good example of getting what one deserves. Seeing that guy crash into the car in front of him is one of the funniest things in the world. And you know he'll be doing it again as soon as his car is fixed. Weird for the sake of weird- This is not the same as stupid for the sake of stupid. This is what modern art presents in many paintings, sculptures, etc. I love modern art. I think the stuff these artists come up with is really cool. I actually read about a guy who got $25,000 from an art museum for his work. What was it? It was a jar containing his own feces, which he collected over several weeks. It's weird, it makes no sense, it's on display, I love it. Told you it was short. Actually I could add much more to a list of joys, but these are the only ones I can think of that fit my site's theme. |
