Surprise!
So my friend Chris Instant messages me over AIM saying that he got something for me. I asked him what it was. Of course, he says that it's a surprise. I think everyone gets a kick out of that. They just love to tease you. Make you guess what it is and keep asking what it could be until you just can't possibly ask anymore. I think it kinda ruins the surprise, yah know? Sometimes you'll get clues and hints to what it is, so you keep guessing until you finally say what it is, and the other person still says "nope" or just totally gives it away by saying "I don't know..." And if you don't know what it is, and that person finally gives it to you, and it doesn't meet your expectations...then you end up "faking" the surprise. Why not just wait?
