Oh my god, another playlist?
They're everywhere, and you know the types.
Certain personalities shine, and some people are more fun to be around. That's just the way it is.
It's always good when you can identify those positive, fun-loving people to surround ourselves with. They make the best friends and family members, and they make great company.
Surrounding ourselves with interesting people makes life itself more interesting. The most interesting people include:
They'll teach you new things, have a philosophical debate, or share the latest insights they've come across from reading or listening to podcasts. Super knowledgeable and great to be around.
Always on the move, striving to better themselves, never content with the status quo. These people can be inspiring.
We all need laughter in our lives. For some people, it comes naturally and they're amazing people to gravitate around.
Someone who loves to make food. Cook, bake, grill, gourmet, you name it. They'll get your taste and smell senses going.
They believe in things that other people think are impossible. And they use their creative minds in a way that keeps you on your toes.
They love debate, and sure, a little drama. Whatever you say, they'll have a counterpoint. It can be exhausting but it can also be interesting.
They'll talk about anything and everything. Can't think of a topic? They will. It's easy to get lost in conversation for hours with them.
It's like a toddler who says "But why?" They'll ask all the questions. And the follow-up questions and the follow-ups to those. Inquiring minds want to know and they can have very interesting minds and viewpoints if you can listen.
Someone who goes around the world and travels frequently will have stories to tell and lessons to share.
Whether it's board games, trivia or video games, the intense game-player has a mind of their own that will challenge you every time.
Are you looking for some funny jokes like the classic "Icup" joke? Here are some variations of the classic joke that will leave you and your friends in stitches:
Always a classic, your fellow second-graders never saw it coming.
Basically the same as the "I Cup" joke but with a new twist that would fool all your friends again!

"To get to the other side."
"To get away from you."
"To prove he wasn't a chicken."
This one had endless possibilities and as long as you could make up new answers, the chicken joke never got old.
"Who's there?"
"I eat mop."
"I eat mop who?"
Cue endless laughter because poop-based jokes always killed in elementary school.
(For those of you too mature for this joke: "Mop who" sounds a lot like "my poo.")

If the other kids didn't learn from the 'I Cup' incident, they were sure to fall for this one too. However, this was a more mature kind of joke. One only the fourth and fifth graders could pretend they understood.
This response was always perfect for any occasion. Whether someone asks you what you did over the weekend, or even if you did your homework, this response guaranteed a laugh even if it didn't completely make sense.
"Because 7 ate 9!"
Sure, this one has been told way too many times, but back in the day this was hilarious!
"Ok. Knock knock."
"Who's there?"
".....?" -Your confused and silent friend.
One of the easiest jokes you can tell because it requires little effort from you. But the longer you kept a straight face at the end, the funnier the joke became.
"Arrrrrr!"
Or, for those elementary school students looking for a more intellectual answer: "Sea."
"To hide in cherry trees."
Your classmate that doubts you: "That makes no sense."
"Have you ever seen a hippo hiding in a cherry tree? No? The nail polish must be working then."
It always felt good proving your friends wrong when they doubted your rock solid facts about hippo habits.

"Who's there?"
"Banana."
(Repeat 3 times)
"Knock knock."
"Who's there?!"
"Orange."
"Orange who?"
"Orange you glad I didn't say banana?"
Even though this joke took forever, the end result was worth it. Plus you loved to see all your friends get annoyed with the repeating banana joke.
"How does it smell?"
"Terrible."
This worked with whatever pet you may have had as a child. Or if you didn't have a pet, you could always say it was a friend who had no nose. In fact, that was even better.
"DO YOU WANNA BUY A DUCK?"
This was an outside joke because if you screamed at the top of your lungs inside, your teacher would have definitely put you in time out.
"She didn't see that well."
This one was best if the punch line was delivered without laughing, which was always difficult when you knew your joke was absolute gold.

"Fshhhh."
You saved this joke for those who confidently knew how to spell. Sorry kindergarteners, this joke is too sophisticated.
"Because he kept throwing away all the W's."
Again, the kindergarteners had to be excluded from this joke because not all of them knew all of the letters in the alphabet yet.
"A stick."
Simple and to the point. You were definitely on the fast track to becoming the class comedian.
"Who's there?"
"Little old lady."
"Little old lady who?"
"It's just a joke! No need to yodel about it!"
So many classics. Reflect. Did you have a favorite?
One thing that many creators know is that fun to have characters and different universes to work with but what's the point if you have nothing to do with them? Many people turn to roleplay as a fun way to use characters, whether they're original or from a fandom. It'd a fun escape for many people but what happens when you run out of ideas to do? It's a terrible spot to be in. So here are a few different role play plot ideas.

Person A has had many near-death experiences in their life. They should be dead but it's as if something is protecting them. Then they meet Person B, their guardian angel.
Person A is a vampire Prince. They rule the kingdom and sit on the throne, but it's all with reluctance. Every year a sacrifice is brought from a nearby village for The Vampire Royalty. They kidnap Person B and take them to the castle.
From here you can go in any direction you want! Person A can turn person B into a vampire, Person A can have mercy on them and send them back to the village, or maybe even keep Person B as a pet or something of the likes. This one is very open so just have fun with it!
Person A is a mental hospital patient, put there for any reason you'd like. So far nobody has been able to make progress with Person A. That is until Person B comes along.
This one is good if you like getting deep into characters and their relations with others.
Person A is riding along the outskirts of their ranch when they see Person B on the ground. Person B has been shot and will soon bleed to death if they aren't helped.
I left this one fairly open too. Does Person A take the risk and help Person B? What will it cost them if the do?
I don't really have anything specific for this one. I feel it's a bit of an oldie but goodie. Similar to the Vampire one there are a lot of ways you could go. Are they both werewolves? Is one human? Does one of them get turned and the other has to deal with it? Are there two werewolf packs fighting? There are just so many possibilities with this one, just go for it.
After losing all of their supplies, friends and allies Person A finds themselves lost and without any defense. That is until they run into Person B's group. How does Person B react? Do they accept Person A with open arms or are hey hostile and wary?
This one mostly applies to fandom related RP's. Take the lead characters and reverse their roles. Make them the opposite of who or what they really are and see where that leads you.
Person A has just moved into their new home. (Apartment, Mansion, cozy town house, whatever you'd like) The first few nights are peaceful. Then things start to get crazy and the meet Person B. Person B inhabited the home once upon a time. They were killed some how and were stuck to their house as a ghost.
Person A and Person B have known each other for a long time. Person A gets into an accident, giving them head trauma and causing them to forget Person B, or even everything they've ever known. It's up to Person B to help them remember and if they don't remember, to help them figure out their life.
I feel like this is fairly self-explanatory. Person A and Person B switch bodies for a certain amount of time. Chaos ensues as they try to pretend to be each other and sort everything out.
(As in the movie, "Purge")
Person A and Person B are going through the Purge. They end up stuck together fighting against people who want to kill them.
This one is fairly open too. Have fun with who your characters are and their status and things like that.
Person A suddenly wakes up with the ability to read minds. What happens when they read their best friend, Person B's mind?
This could be a good spot to combine another one of these with this one! Maybe Person B had some secrets they really didn't want Person A to find out about.
Person A is a respectable treasure hunter. They put years of work into finding the most amazing treasure of their life only to have Person B, a treasure thief, to steal it right at the last moment.
Whether you need an educational experience to apply for fall scholarships, a few nights in the great outdoors, or a budget-friendly destination we've got you covered.
If you want to hit the road and you have a dependable vehicle ready for the drive but are strapped for cash, here are a few road trip destinations to consider:
Also known as "The King of Roads," this national treasure is so beautiful that every viewing area is protected. On the Historic Columbia River Highway just outside Portland, Oregon, you can see waterfalls, rivers, and mountains as you travel alongside the Columbia River Gorge. There are numerous state trails located on the six-mile section from Larch Mountain to Bridal Veil, so don't forget to pack your mountain bike and hiking shoes.
Come and get your kicks on historic Route 66! This old national highway was part of the original US interstate system that was built in 1926. It's earned the title of "Main Street of America". Although it is not as heavily trafficked as it used to be between 1925-1950 and has now been split into sections, Route 66 has maintained its charm. We encourage renting a trendy Jeep for the journey. Those photos ops won't create themselves, you know. Billboards and giant statues along the highway still advertise a wide array of roadside attractions. Diners and motels play up the Route 66 theme and are great for travelers on a budget.
Who says California living has to be expensive? Take this iconic road trip down California Highway 1 and see the coastline from San Francisco to San Diego. This trip has a lot to offer from sea lions and whale watching to interesting architectural points such a Bixby bridge or the Point Sur Lighthouse and is best traversed in a car that allows you the option to take the top down to enjoy the sea breeze.
While on Highway 1, take time to detour onto the 101 to enjoy wine country. Keep going on the 101 and arrive at San Luis Obispo County to take in stunning views from hilltop estates. Here, you can enjoy the day while playing in the sun at one of the many beaches in the area.
Traveling can teach you valuable lessons about who you are and the world around you, so why not represent it in your cover letter and use those experiences to find your future jobs. Here are a few road trip destinations with educational opportunities:
Hanover, KS is home to the only remaining Pony Express stop still standing in its original location. Today, Hollenberg Pony Express Station acts as the museum, offering materials and opportunities to learn about the historic landmark. Some say it's haunted - according to many visitors and staff members, some Pony Express riders have chosen to linger at the station.
A unique experience for students exists in central New York, about an hour and a half west of Albany at the Herkimer Diamond Mines. Visitors can spend the whole day prospecting for diamonds, learning about minerals and gems, and collecting memorabilia to take home
Next, learn about the engineering feat that is the Erie Canal on one of its cruises. Onboard you will learn all about the working lock system and hear about the history of the canal.
If you are looking to travel on a budget, there is no better way to save money than camping. Here are a few outdoor adventure road trip destinations:
Hit the road in an all-wheel-drive baddie to tackle this trip. The Black Hills of South Dakota is home to some truly monumental places. Explore everything from the faces of presidents carved on Mountain Rushmore to the magical caverns of the wind cave. Just when you think you have seen everything, make your way to the otherworldly Badlands. This crazy terrain is created when clay-rich soils are extensively eroded by wind and water.
Right outside of some of America's largest cities is a ruggedness stretch of mountains known as the Appalachians. The Appalachian Mountains are home to thousands of miles of pristine forest protected by three large preserves. If you love to hike and camp, this naturally beautiful forest would be a perfect destination.
