So yesterday we did the experiment on people's reaction to things... And it was the most awkward experience..
First we began by simply watching people, which we all know is interesting. We chose two different days, the first we began watching people in the Hart. (after a large bag of serious breadsticks! HA!) and nothing really happened too big... But we saw a little bit of this guy being super into this girl, ith the lean in, the hand on the knee everything... But she had some serious denial written all over her face. I am not sure if she was completely oblivious or really was not interested. There so many things in underlying conversation that we can't see. I have realized in wathing other people that interpretation is everything. You may see one thing that others would never interpret as something and vice versa, you may send a message you don't even know. For all I know this guys was her husband and she was madly in love with him but maybe his hand was sticky so she didnt feel like holding it? ha ha
Another part of our expericence began a few days later in the crossroads where we I suppose tried to cause some mischief! ha ha We began by sitting in the middle of the pathway, which suprisingly didn't get much of a reaction, I was surprised. People merely walked on by like t wasn't a big deal. It was when we set a real obstruction, like a table in their way that people began to say things. When we were sitting on the floor one guy gave us a thumbs up! He seemed nice... But that's about all the reaction we got:) however with a table in the way people were confused and I think a little frustrated.
The best part of my day is when we snagged my boyfriends roommate and asked him how willing he was to be embarassed, he's running for student body pres. (VOTE FOR SCOTT RENNER!!! had to add that in!) so it really wasn't a big deal... We eventually came up withthe senario that he would propose to m... In the middle of everyone.. and not simpl standing there, oh no, h got ON a table and asked for everyone's attention, not a few, but very head turned as he pulled me on the table and asked me to marry him... with a fake ring and everything, everyone was cheerig. It was uncomfortable, this was my BOYFRIENDS roommate and all... ha ha but awkwardness makes the world go round I think:)
