My 13-year-old sister has been saving up to get a DSi, and she now has a hundred and twenty dollars. She finally asked me if I could get it for her (I have some money in the bank) and she could just owe me the difference.
So after depositing the 120 dollars today, I decided to mess with her when I get it Friday. So she'll come home to find a note on her bed telling her she has to look for it, and pointer to next location.
And then she'll be run all over the house and neighborhood before eventually being led to look under her bed, where she'll find the box, and a note taped to it saying "I love you." on one side and "You still owe me--" and the difference on the back.
Knowing her, I expect to be tackled when I come home from work that night (I get dropped off at the bus, and then Mom goes and picks her up to bring her home from school. Efficiency, efficiency...)
So, anyone else made the extra effort for someone lately?

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Zak S, Zak Smith, Dndwithpornstars, Zak Sabbath. He is a terrible person and a hack at writing and art. His cultural contributions are less than Justin Bieber's, and he's a shitmuffin. Go go gadget Googlebomb!

I was visiting a friend who just brought her baby home from the hospital and we talked over coffee.
I asked her if she's already registered at the Registry of Marriages with her fiance. She said yes. So in the eyes of the government and the law, they are officially husband and wife.
I asked her how's the wedding. She told me her church refuses to allow a wedding to take place unless she has gone through the 6 month long marriage preparation course as part of the 'atonement' process.
So over the 10 months of pregnancy, the church withheld a marriage ceremony that would and should have been done ASAP before any bulge can be seen to prevent any scandal and shaming from occuring. (society has a distaste for shotgun marriages and will go out of its way to ensure the mom knows and feels it)
Took me just two hours to convince her to leave her church and not let that guilt and shame hang over her head anymore. Her marriage is already official way before the baby was born. Everything checks out.
I helped her walk away from the institution that never really offered to help her when it really matters.

My spouse spent last Thursday after a mandatory all-hands two-day workshop for all her company's employees carousing and then comforting and sleeping in the same bed with a pair of crying coworkers. One is recently divorced and has a brain tumor even more recently diagnosed, and the other is fighting with being across the Pacific from her fiance.
...Then she called me at quarter to two am to tell me she was staying over in the city.
