Awkward !@#$%^&*

So me and my friend are doing a media project and I need some help from all of you. You know the Awkward Turtle? Well I know there are a lot more different awkward hand gestures, but I can't remember them all.

Can you guys do me a huge solid and try to list as many awkward hand gestures as possible?

Pretty please?!!?!?!?!?!!?!?

Bystander Effect

Today I saw a young lady with a big ass baby carriage getting out on the Q train. The baby carriage looked like it weighed more than her! Instead of helping her, I went up a different set of stairs so that I wouldn't have to help her. As I walked by her, I just stared at my iPod so that she wouldn't even have a chance to ask me.
I felt like such a fucking asshole, but I really didn't wanna help her. I'm sure someone - someone who actually has a heart - ended up helping her. The Bystander Effect was totally shown there.


I know it was a dick move, but I'm sure at least 25% of people I know would do the same thing.

200th post! LETS FUCKING GO! I still can't believe I've been doing this shit for over a year. Thought it would die relatively quickly. And it surprises me how many people actually follow/check my blog. Thank you all!

....that's enough of that sentimental shit

Social Experiment # 1

So I was bored one day at school and decided to write something on the bathroom walls. I wrote, "I love shitting here! - 9/24/09" I really wanted to see what kind of reaction I would get. My hypothesis was that people would tag up the walls no matter what, but I figured there would be at least some mention of how awesome it is to shit there. They will tag up for two reasons;
1) They will want to put in their two cents.
2) People want their voice heard no matter where they are.
3) It really is the best place to take a dump on campus!


Here are the results...

My initial things that I wrote:





Eventually there was more:







I went in last week to see how it was going and the cleaning crew decided to paint over it.... fuckers! Fortunately, the movement did not die. I went in there today to check on it. Here are my findings:







In conclusion, my hypothesis was correct! People who see something written on the walls - even something about taking a dump - will want to put in their input and be heard.... no matter where they are. Overall, I must say this was a successful experiment. Although I did not take in to consideration that the cleaning crew would paint over it. I wanted to record my progress over the whole semester and have a whole mural dedicated to how awesome it is to poop there. I'm not sure whether I should just finish my experiment or continue with it til the end of the semester. Your two cents will be greatly appreciated!

I just realized I have one of my college professors as a friend on Facebook (where I always post links to my blog) Hopefully you'll appreciate the social experiment, and not see it as vandalism, Professor Symister! After all, you are a Psychology professor!
