Here's the thing. Anailuj has huge balls and I do not.
There, I said it.
I don't like talking to new people. I like talking to people once I know them. But meeting them is a huge feat of nature for me. I'm bad at it. And I didn't see the one person that I really need to introduce myself to today.
So I talked to this girl in one of my classes. I didn't "introduce myself" per se, as I did not give her my name. But we did talk! And we talked last week. So she might learn my name sometime soon. And it will be almost like I introduced myself today.
Then I went to work, and I started training in Starbucks today. I introduced myself to the woman who trained me. I knew her already! I knew her but did not talk to her! And now I have introduced myself to her. My task has been completed.

Day Seven: Masturbate at 13:56 (Yellenahs)
Refer to Anailuj's post about the assignment today. I happened to be busy baking cookies with my grandmother at this time, so I was in no position to do such a thing. And even if I wanted to, I would not tell you about such an experience in my blog.
Sorry about the lameness of today.

Day Five: Mass Social Experiment (Anailuj)
Today we had to make an out of order sign, stick it on something, and see if it caused a breakdown of our social structure as we know it.
So I ripped out a piece of notebook paper, scrawled "Out of order" on it in sharpie, and taped it to a vending machine. But that wasn't that exciting. So I taped it to a bathroom door. Not a stall door, the door to the entrance of the whole bathroom.

See, there it is, on my very low resolution camera. I picked a place that was pretty high traffic, but doesn't have a lot of seats so there was no one sitting around to observe me causing trouble. Except some girl who was sitting right across from me and was not observant enough to notice me doing any of this. Then she got on her phone and was being obnoxious.
The results were pretty predictable: every now and then some girl who had to pee or fix her hair would walk up to the door, hesitate, and walk away. Once two girls walked by and one pointed to it. Not that exciting. no one was even curious enough to take a peak to see what kind of disaster
could put a WHOLE bathroom out of order.
could put a WHOLE bathroom out of order.
Conclusion: People obey signs, and watching them do it is really not that thrilling. I would have done the same thing. This was only life-changing in that it made me want to try it on a larger scale. Next time I'll put an out of order sign on an airplane. Or a pilot.
