Experiental Social Experiments

Yeah yeah, I know the title is redundant, it just sounded cooler that's all.

I have a new goal in Katimavik, this goal is perfect, because this is the perfect place to accomplish it.

Social experiments.

What?

That could mean many different things.

What I'm talking about is creating, observing, applying the scientific method to "experiments" in this household and to the people within it.

No, not laboratories, no strange chemicals, you could call them mind games.

What exactly am I doing?

I am devising ways of understanding humans!

Now now, you may think I'm rather egotistical, oh what's the word, I don't know, but I mean, why do I think I can take on such a massive and bold task?

Well, it's not terribly serious, it's mostly for kicks and for amusement, to make myself feel smart, I don't know, I just enjoy it okay?!

Get to the point, Gabe.

Okay, so far, I've experimented with the following things:
  • How a person feels guilt, how they deal with it, how they hide/show it
  • How many times a person blinks in a minute depending on certain activities
  • Jealousy. Why and how someone feels jealous of something, someone
The first task was only a partial success. I had two subjects - K and A. K escaped without feeling guilt because at the last minute she remembered something.
A, however, certainly had the stimulus to -feel- guilt. It's been hard to see his reaction though, he's quite the quiet one.

The third task is currently in progress. I hope to see results soon.
I might explain the experiments a bit better later on. Then again, I've promised so many things on this blog.

Evil, isn't it?

Drug of choice

I am a stupid, stupid boy.

I don't drink coffee, and I try to avoid caffeine things.

But you know what I did today?

Four cups, I just had four cups.

You know why? I was scared.

This self-induced "tripping-out" that's happening to me is to take my mind off all the drama that's happening in this house right now.

I know it's stupid, it actually aggravates the problem usually, I still took the coffee.

I can't stop shaking now, I anticipate hyperventilating soon.

I always have caffeine on the worst nights.

I can't stop myself.

Caffeine's a hell of a drug.

Breakslow

Ah, Katimamornings.

I hate them.

I'm pretty normal though.

I think that a very normal thought to have in the morning when you're woken up by banging on your bedroom door is: "Oh god, let me throw something at them, let me find something blunt and heavy to THROW AT THEM".

I also hate it when D wakes up like five minutes before my personal alarm clock rings, and he's all like "Come on Gabe, time to get up. Slowpoke!".

I DESPISE it.

If he even lightly taps me to make me wake up one day, I swear, he is getting a Katimamorningpunch to the FACE.

Yeah, today's one of those mornings.

I haven't blogged very much in the mornings, and yes, I've just woken up, after being one of the last people to go to bed.

Ooh no I didn't sleep very well either, it was a -very- windy night, and I'm right beside the window in my room and it -whistles-. It was a bit scary, at about 4:30 am too.

Today is another day packed with stuff, we've been doing stuff every day for the past week since we don't work anymore.

A couple workshops today.

Our PL's birthday is today, and she's leaving for half of the day.

Ah, breakfast now, I hate breakfast, I never eat breakfast but since breakfast is a "group activity", I have to wake up and attend breakfast.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I almost got a CTI for being a few minutes late for breakfast once. Mad.

I think I'll blog about my little Katimachristmas sometime, maybe, I'm never good at promising certain types of blogs.
