I hate April Fool's day.
Just so you know.
Trust is such a delecate thing, why is there a day when we are supposed to pick at it, tear at it. And no, it doesn't always heal afterwards.
EDIT: I want to clarify. I don't think that all April fool jokes are evil. I think that the net sum is not worth the day. I think that any joke that is a good april foosl joke could be presented as "here is my fine joke." I don't like any joke that derives it's humor from "Ha! I fooled you." because I personally feel victimized, even if the statement being believed doesn't effect me at all. I don't like feeling that I have to mistrust everything that everyone says because of a stupid holiday. I don't being fooled. If April Fool's day were "April Joke writing day" then I would be all for it. But the focus is on fooling people, not amusing them.
I also don't like the fact that you can't say anything serious today and not have people think that it's an April Fools Joke.

Sorry I'm a downer.
