The most epic April Fool's Day prank ever

... I totally got it pulled over on me, which, as I mentioned before, really ticks me off. I'm usually pretty good at sniffing a scam Mr. Kazemerik from Nigeria has never gotten a penny from me! so it was rough on me. You'd also think that since it WAS April Fool's Day, I'd be weary of pranksters. But I'm not.

In my defense, I'm a zombie until I've had three cups of coffee. I don't even know what day it is until around noon, usually I've forgotten my own birthday the last three years. So it stands to reason that I'm not at the peak of my scam-sniffing ability until about noon because I don't even realize it's AFD.

Anyway, on to the prank.

My dear, pastor's daughter, sweet, innocent friend Mandy, who has never done anything quite so evil as that in all the four-nearly-five years I've known her on purpose anyway *lolz* decided to pair with a friend of hers and create the ultimate scam over a period of a few weeks. He "proposed" to her to be his fiancee for AFD and she accepted. Over the few weeks leading up to AFD, she posted vague "happy" status messages on Facebook that he usually commented on or "liked" so I got used to seeing his name and used to being annoyed that I didn't know what was going on I'm super nosy about my best friends but could care less about anyone else.

So the night before AFD, they changed their profile pics to ones with one another and changed their statuses to "engaged." I would have smelled a prank, except upon investigating so nosy I saw some people had posted something about them dating for three months. That and my subconscious memory remembered all of her ambiguous posts and it was early. So I totally fell for it hook, line, and sinker.

However, instead of finding myself excited over her "engagement" I flew into a vicious rage because she hadn't told me anything. Is that petty? Yes. Is it selfish? Yes. But that didn't stop me. I said something sarcastic to her and she immediately sent me emails and FB messages and texts telling me it was a scam. I felt like a total dork XD

Everyone fell for it though, so it wasn't just me.

You have to understand, though, that I'm pretty sensitive about that because it's actually happened to me before. My old best friend never told me he had a girlfriend even though we would talk all the time. I started feeling abandoned when he slowly stopped talking to me all together, which I later found out by the infamous update of the FB relationship status that he had found a girlfriend. I was so angry. Not that he had a girlfriend, but that he didn't tell me. Even more so that he wouldn't talk to me anymore because he simply didn't need me anymore. I had been abandoned on the side of the road. Plain and simple.

So you can kind of see why I was so upset...

I wish I could say I have learned not to be so nosy, but I haven't. If I stick my nose in your business, it means I love you. So deal with it.

Sumimasen!
