amanda...throws acorns with surprising accuracy

3.07.2006

ever since i took sociology in first year university, weird sociological experiments randomly pop up in my mind. we learned about so many cases of children who had had the strangest (and cruelest) things done to them. but all of these cases around the world got me to thinking over the past few years about weird things that people could do to one another.

and on the way home on the bus, i was looking at this dog walking down the street. and i wondered to myself, how strange a dog must look to a person the first time that they see one. unfortunately, everybody sees their first dog so young, one can't possibly remember their reaction. but what if you were able to set up an experiment so that one person never saw a dog until they were like 20? as if that would be the weirdest thing ever. but then, you would have still seen other animals, so the effect may be lost. i just thought of that counter point right now. so really, my so-called experiment is shit. and i just wasted all of that writing to type out something that was retarded. because really - how realistic is it to devoid someone of all animals? there is only so much research funding in the world.

anyways. i fear for my poor children, and my future insights into strange experiments. (like, what if you grew up calling a refrigerator a sofa and vice versa? you'd go to your friends house and be like, "hey, will you get me a pop out of the sofa?" dude. that would be funny. again. my poor children)

and i don't feel like posting about the oscars. upon reflection, they were boring, predictable, and the only person who looked really surprisingly ugly was charlize. (helena bonham carter was to be expected...c'mon folks, stop acting so surprised)

now, american idol is on tonight, so i'm off to voodoo paula into not acting like such a floozy.
