Two people looked at me and excitedly exclaimed "Cheese!"
Did my deviance field experiment today -- it consisted of wearing a cheesehead hat to the mall (note: I am not in any way affiliated with the Green Bay Packers; I simply like cheese, remarked upon the fact that if I had one of those sweet Green Bay cheese hats I would wear it, and was promptly gifted said hat by my sister for Christmas). That was the easy part. The hard part was noting down the reactions of the people around me without looking like I was noting down the reactions of people around me. Thank god for the Notepad feature on my cell phone, because no one looks twice at an idiot walking around typing on her cell phone anymore. Unless she's wearing a cheese hat.
But anyway, things also got complicated when my professor suddenly mentioned two weeks ago that I was going to need an accomplice to take down the reactions I couldn't see (as most people wait to point and laugh until they are behind the idiot wearing the cheese hat). I don't know many people in the area yet and none of my classmates would help me out (thanks for nothing, bitches), but I finally found a co-worker who was willing to do it. She asked if she could bring her boyfriend, which initially made me roll my eyes, but turned out to be perfect, because he made it less obvious that she was following me around. I think he was actually the one who took the phone notes, too, and they're good ones.
My point (because I had one): I didn't want to stop and take a picture of it in the Hallmark store, what with (social) SCIENCE happening and all, but there's a Christmas ornament of Spock meeting Spock Prime! With recorded dialogue! Too bad the damn thing's $30.
I just remembered Kink Bingo was a thing. A thing that I signed up for. Yeah, I don't think I'm going to be making any bingos this year -- I've got plenty of ideas, just no time to write them in the next 10 days. Especially considering that now that I have the data, I have to organize it and analyze it and somehow relate it to the course material, which is decidedly not about people wearing cheese hats in malls. Sorry, "bondage (other)," you're going to have to wait.
Aaaand now there's no appropriate way to transition into this, but my parents' friends' daughter's boyfriend's 6-year-old son (did you follow that?) apparently has a crush on me. So I've got that going for me.
