Today the book instructed us to gaze at everyone and ponder whether they may be our true love.
I have decided to switch into the first person. Just to keep you on your toes. Try and tell me to be consistent. Go ahead, TELL ME.
No.
My gazings...
Aaron (roommate) in kitchen, pre-coffee: Gazed for a moment, decided I don't want ginger babies. Also, he hates me.
Every male in my linguistics class: They are all comm majors. From Long Island. I avoided eye contact.
The boy who cringed when some girl mentioned the new Twilight movie: Despite the pipe cleaners artfully tied around his wrist and his olive green army issue coat, I think we may be soul mates.
Everyone else I passed on campus: Most avoided eye contact and/or gave me a dirty look.
Conclusion: I am scary and not worthy of love.

Day One
Today was warm-up day. The book gave us a list of simple activities that would only change our lives just a little bit. They included things like insult an insect, give pet names to your genitalia, and do one push up.
Anailuj decided to choose which of her toes was the prettiest. It's the one next to her pinky toe on her right foot. This toe is much more adorable than any other toe ever. Except it really isn't. This activity helped her come to terms with the fact that none of her toes are particularly attractive, though one is slightly less unattractive than the others. And that's ok. Because John's toes aren't that great either. Also she was very brave to post a picture of her foot on the internet. Hopefully there are no fetishists afoot....get it?
Yellenahs tried to say "yo" instead of "hello" today, but she failed when she answered the phone with "hello" once. This made Yellenahs realize that changing her life requires dedication. Instead she decided to tell someone her middle name. It is Nicole. The person she told said that she has a beautiful name. It was wonderful.
Anailuj and Yellenahs also stripped John of his socks in a fit of excitement and decided which of his toes is the prettiest. Most of his toes are in fact quite hideous, but the big toes were nice. Especially the right one. This activity didn't really change John's life much. He didn't actually think it was that much out of the ordinary. Though he did have some fun exploiting Anailuj's fear of feet. And almost broke Yellenahs' laptop.

Introduction
Please allow us to introduce ourselves.
This blog will involve the experiences of two friends who are changing their lives. We are fairly average college students, but I like to think that we are slightly more awesome than average.
Yellenahs is a 20 year old Virgo whose favorite color is purple. She has a fairly mediocre job working in retail, which she hates. She is in her third year studying art history and anthropology, which she loves. Perhaps the most interesting thing about her life is that she lives with three boys.
Anailuj is a 20 year old Leo whose favorite color is green. She takes care of little kids at a daycare, which is the best job ever. She is an English major who enjoys the works of Anne Rice, Jack Kerouac, and poems by Allen Ginsberg. Her favorite patterns include tie dye, paisley, and polka dot.
John is a 20 year old (soon to be 21) Libra whose favorite color is blue. He doesn't have a job that he gets paid just over minimum wage for like the others. He gets paid a lot more money to do nothing (they call it research). He is studying math and would like to someday be a lawyer, in order to support both Anailuj and Yellenahs (because they are liberal arts majors and will not be able to find jobs after they graduate). John is not actually changing his life or participating in the experiment, except for when he feels like it or we make him. He is, however, one of Yellenahs' roommates, and will probably be mentioned frequently. Especially since Yellenahs and Anailuj will probably be performing some of their activities at his expense.
We are embarking upon a journey that will take precisely 365 days. We will perform the daily activities outlined in This Book Will Change Your Life. Every day, the reader is told to do something that is generally out of the ordinary. We will then record our activities and thoughts here for your entertainment. The book promises that if you do exactly as it says everyday, it will not only change your life, it will also make you famous.
I guess we'll see.
