The Great Prank War of 2006-2007


Haha, where to start. Around January 2006, I started opening up myself to my softball team. They got to know who I was because I was shy, quiet and kept to myself most of the time. When they found out who I really was, I got invited to do a lot of things outside the softball diamond. I was invited to parties, played intramural sports and even was invited to dinners. One of those people really stood out to me the most. Nickey is one of the most coolest people I met while I was at WSU. She was fun, outspoken, smart and fun to make jokes about because she had a great sense of humor.
I had always wanted to have a prank war with someone. Nickey was the right person to do this with. Usually when I would start something, that's where it ended because they never tried to get me back. It all started with pinecones and writing obscenities on her van windows and it just progressed from there. It lasted about a year.
The prank in this photo took me a close to a year to complete. Around June, 2006, I was at home and noticed that my family drank a lot of pop, therefore...we had a lot of pop boxes laying around. I started collecting them as I saw them. During my fifth year, which pranks were really on the down-low because Nickey got herself a boyfriend and had no time to get me back. That really made me sad, but I got over it.
Dead week of 2007, I had a perfect opportunity to do this prank because I had one final to study for, so I had lots of time on my hands. It took me 104 pop boxes to cover Nickey's car with. I started earlier that day measuring and taping them together. I had Ashlee, Lizzy and Kari help me tape it to her car. We got lucky that evening at 2 a.m. because if we were off by even 10 minutes we would have gotten caught. Minutes before, Nick and Nickey had just gotten back from Jack in the Box...yikes. The prank gods were definitely on my side.
The next morning, I got a phone call from Nickey. When she first saw it, she thought there were pop boxes stacked behind her car...then she realized that that WAS her car! I was laughing hysterically over the phone. She really liked this prank even though it made her late to work. That was the last and final prank of the Nickey-Val prank war. I truly enjoyed every minute of it.
