My friends have learned to not attempt surprises for me. They tried to put together a surprise b-day party for my 18th two years ago, and I pretty much figured it out. It was on a Sunday, church had just ended and all I wanted to do was go home and nap. Two of my friends wanted to take me to Gameworks (the diversionary tactic), but I just wanted to go home. My mom basically forced me to go (the initial tip-off). So we drop them off, and one of my friends gets a call on their cell (the second sign). I hear clear as day through the reciever someone asking if I was with them. I thought, "why would they be asking these two about me, and how would they know to call two people I don't spend my typical sunday with?" Well Gameworks is located at the Sawgrassmills mall (3rd largest in the US IIRC), about 15-30 minutes away from where I live. We drive around the lot for 30 minutes to an hour looking for a place to park. One of them mentions something about being late (I didn't know for what but as you can tell I had my suspicions). Anyways we find a spot and park go to game stop play the arcade for awhile then they get a call and decide it's time to leave (is it obvious yet?). Well we get there and they thought I was surprised, but it was more like touched cuz I don't remember anyone having a party for me before. In the end it was kinda cool.
