Dear Pineapple Wednesday,

Dear Pineapple Wednesday,
I decided I officially need you back in my life. With the new season of Psych starting up again, I am trying to regain my mojo for Pineapple Wednesday. It's just hard because Methuselah/Clementine, etc. is usually working and I don't know anyone else here that is crazy enough to deliver pineapples to random strangers with me. :(
But the good news! I have made the first step in bringing back Pineapple Wednesday! I texted Methuselah/Clementine, etc. asking her if she could maybe perhaps find some time to give away a delicious offering of tropical fruit to a random stranger. :) So maybe if she finds some time we can bring back that epic adventure. :)

Aloha!

Neglected

Dear Pineapple Wednesday,

I'm sorry for I have neglected you. Moving home from school was CRAZY. And in this little place I call home there was really no one to deliver a pineapple to... except for creepy guys that hit on me at Walmart. Frankly, I don't deem them worthy of receiving such an honor. I move to a new school in about a week. Lavender Gooms/Ghee Buttersnaps/Methuselah Honeysuckle etc. will be home from her excruciatingly long trip, and we will be reunited... for a month. Hopefully during that time we can rekindle the magic of Pineapple Wednesday. And spread some more joy.
An update though... after taking a trip to Italy (where my dastardly cell phone refused to work. Imagine that. heh.) I returned home to find my cellular device flashing with a few unheard voicemails. Of course I felt the need to listen to them. And of course as always, that lovely (usually extremely annoying) feature of cell phones that causes them to play old mail first was indeed working. It informed me that my message from blahblahblah-blahblahblah-blahblahblahblah was going to be deleted. Little did I know that I had just been informed of the number I had been longing for ALL THIS TIME! Shawn! The roommate of cemetery pineapple guy! Remember him? The one whose number my phone REFUSED to tell me?! Yes. After all these months of torture... it finally gave in and told me the number.
Now the real question is... do I call it? Readers. If there are any of you. Tell me what to do! Is it too creepy to just give 'em a ring and say aloha? After all this time. There is that part of me... that crazed psych-addicted pineapple-giving part of me that desperately wants to. But that more sensible, timid, socially awkward person inside me that refuses to pick up the phone, type those digits and say "Hey. I don't know if you remember me... but I'm that crazy pineapple girl from Logan. How ya doin'?" What do I do? Anyone?
I doubt anyone reads of my pineapple adventures... but if you do, now is the time to give me your advice. Encouragement? Or lack thereof. Since Methuselah isn't here to tell me what to do (though she already told me to call him and is somehow thoroughly convinced that he is my future husband and I'm going to marry him someday) I need your help now, reader. And hey, Shawn? If you stumble across this? I'm not really as creepy as I sound... I promise. I'm just a girl who likes psych, pineapple, and making people happy. Spreading the Aloha, ya know? And I promise I'm not convinced you'll fall madly in love with me and we will get married. :) I'm not THAT big of a creeper for sure.

Aloha!

Oops!

So... today was Pineapple Wednesday. But... I am a FAILURE! Due to finals and moving out of my apartment... I failed to give away a pineapple this week. :( Shame on me, I know. Instead I've spent my evening on the psych website playing games and watching episodes of psych. I did wear the pineapple shirt today though. :) That should make up for something right?!
I watched the theories of the pineapple videos from Psych too... does that count? haha. I like the guy that says the pineapple is happiness. Pineapple Wednesday is supposed to be about happiness. Bringing a bit of aloha, love, and happiness into someone's life. :) That's the goal.
The pineapple is the international welcome fruit. :) It's just a way to say hello! Embrace the pineapple. It rocks! It brings a little bit of paradise to (at this point for me at least...) Utah and soon to be Idaho I guess.
Sorry for failing at pineapple wednesday this week. :( Pineapple Thursday anyone? Even though that really just doesn't roll off the tongue. Bummer. Next week, dear friends. Next Week.

Aloha! Happy Pineapple Wednesday!

Week 5

Week five was a little different than the previous weeks. For one... it snowed. That's right. Snowed. It is April for crying out loud. Note to anyone who reads this... If you don't like having to bounce back and forth between spring and winter don't move to Logan, Utah. Anyway... There was no long walk to class for me and Longbranch Pennywhistle on Wednesday. Way too cold. We definitely did in fact take the bus. Yes sir. After we got to class (Which due to early arrival of the bus, we were early to) there didn't seem to be anyone around to whom we could give our delicious fruit. We sat through our first class... found a guy we considered giving it to in class... but he left early so he didn't get it. Too bad for him for skipping class. :S
After our first class we didn't really want to go outside (still too cold...and by this time it was snowing again. blech). so we gave it to someone who sat down in front of us. Since he was in our class we actually got to have a conversation with him... and there was no awkward running away and hiding. ha. We found out his name, where he's from... you know, the usual. He seems like a pretty cool guy. And he didn't seem to think we were creepy... I hope. I promised him we weren't... I told him we didn't inject it with anything... and that we aren't creepers. I hope he believed us. No contact though. But at least we know his name! Of course... it was the last day of that class so we'll probably never see him again. but... oh well. Too bad we didn't start pineapple Wednesday earlier. We could have made lasting friendships or something like that. ha.

Aloha! Happy pineapple Wednesday!

Wow! Week 3 update?

Today I was looking around the internet for other pineapple related blogs.. ya know, just checking to see if anyone else out there randomly gave away pineapples, when I suddenly stumbled across this!
Remember Pineapple Guy #3? He sent me that text about seeing the guy playing the mandolin and asking for miracles. It just so happens I may have stumbled across mandolin guy's blog!

Check it out!

See that first miracle?! That's totally us from the Pineapple Project! :) I feel super spiff now. It's like we're pretty legit. Now if only someone would actually read this... heh.

Oh. And to update about week 4... No call from our new friend Shawn. :( Bummer. We tried though, right? And there's still time. He can still check the blog... maybe... who knows?!

Well... Aloha!

The Pineapple Project

What is the Pineapple Project you ask? My version of the pineapple project is a little event scheduled every Wednesday... a day i have taken to calling, you guessed it! Pineapple Wednesday. :) On Pineapple Wednesday, a friend and I give away a pineapple (complete with card, bows, and curly ribbon) to a random stranger. (Since I am a female I must admit this random stranger is usually a male...) The goal of this project is simply to meet new (and hopefully pineapple appreciative)people. Included in the card is a way to contact me... while my friend prefers to leave her number out of it and go by an alias (usually borrowed from an episode of Psych. i.e. Lavender Gooms, Ghee Buttersnaps, and Clementine Woolysocks).
The USA Network television series Psych was, I must admit, our inspiration. We love finding the pineapple in every episode and do like the idea of giving pineapples as housewarming presents, baby gifts, etc. And of course to random strangers on Wednesday! :)
