A good old-fashioned nerdfighter welcome

Hello everyone!

Let me just begin by saying I have been very busy lately, so I apologize for the post being as late as it is. I'm preparing a senior recital plus starting a new job, so life is crazy.

I haven't actually DONE my positive prank yet, but I have a good reason for this. The plan is, I'm going to wait until it's really late and then I'm going to go over to my neighbors' house and TP their yard. Yeah, TP as in Tootsie Pop. I realize that this is a bit of a cop-out on the creativity front, but please see above excuses.

Along with the Tootsie Pops, I will be including a note, which (essentially copied from John Green's Positive Pranking note) reads as follows:

Hello! Your home has been TP'ed, which--for today, at least--means that it has been Tootsie Popped. These Tootsie Pops are yours for the licking (and/or biting) not as a part of some marketing campaign but because of an initiative called Positive Pranking started by the author Amy Krouse Ronsethal with the help of the nerdfighters, an Internet-based community of people who seek to decrease the overall worldwide level of suck. Please enjoy, and if you're so inclined, start your own positive pranking adventure.
Signed,
  Your friendly neighborhood nerdfighter

P.S. Welcome to the neighborhood. :)

The P.S. is included because the family just moved in, like, last week. Hopefully this will be a positive experience for them, getting TP'ed. Also, hopefully they'll go to bed and turn off their lights soon. I just walked over to the house and the porch light was still on. I seriously can't imagine how terrible it would be if I got caught giving candy to my new neighbors in the middle of the night.

I look forward to the crazy pranks you guys come up with this week! I'm sure you'll be much more creative than I was.

DFTBA,
Emily
