Pokewalk

So, I'm carrying around my pokewalker with my level 16 Growlithe in it today. I've found out there are plenty of people in my friend group who still play and remember pokemon! No one yet that I'm good friends with has made fun of my little pokeball that's reminiscent of a tamagotchi! Apparently I know how to pick the awesome friends :)

I have an assignment due in Gender and Society (WMST or SOCI 124) on Friday that's called the Norms Violation assignment. Basically I have to violate a societal gender norm and write a three page paper about the experience by Friday. It took me forever to figure out what I wanted to do. But, with a little help from my friends on a dog forum I frequent, I've figured it out!

I'm going to be gay for a day! Yes, I am a female and yes, my boyfriend is very straight. What I've thought up is that I will dress in men's clothing, hide my hair and try to pass for a boy then go out to public places with Justin and hold hands or perform other various forms of PDA and gauge the reaction I get from people around us. The hard parts are going to be getting Justin to cooperate and actually looking like a convincing boy. Alas, it will be an interesting experiment!
