No, I haven’t fooled you. However, I had someone attempt to fool me (successfully for about 5 seconds) and I fooled someone.

While I was in my Oral Communications class, giving a speech about how to improve your photography skills, I received a phone call and a voicemail from my dad. Later, I checked and he told me that he had put our house on the market so that we could downsize. Well, it sold and we are moving within 45 days. I was stunned. I hung up and called him and realized as I was calling that it is April Fools day. Turns out it was a joke.

Then, I decided that I had to fool my sisters. I have a VNC server set up on my desktop at home (700 miles away from here). (A VNC server allows me to remotely control my computer from anywhere in the world) It so turns out that the eldest of my two sisters (3 years younger than me) was on Wikipedia looking up something. (my dad helped me with the idea) Well, I thought and thought of what to search for and I couldn’t think of anything, so I searched wikipedia for Death. Immediately, I saw the mouse moving to close the window and all other Firefox windows open. A minute or so later, I logged back in and searched Wikipedia for April Fools. I called her, laughing and she ended up laughing about it too.

It’s been a good day so far.

P.S. I ordered a John McCain shirt.
