Day Ten

25 April 2007

Time: 18:44

Ok, so today was actually a lot harder than I expected. The task was to do the exact same thing as the day before but approaching every woman with absolutely no emotion or if I had to feel one then boredom. I'm not sure if understood correctly but this meant I was going up to women plain faced and asking them. There is that moment after they tell you when they stop for a second and look into your eyes, smiling slightly waiting for your response, the end of the interaction. I seriously felt like a bastard. I was thanking them in the most drone voice, no emotion, no nothing. In some case you could even see the kind of disapointment, I guess thinking something along the lines of "I take a moment out of my day to help you with something and you couldn't give two shits". Realise that this is what I'm imagining in my head. Dman, I thought today would be easy. Get bored and talk, but no. I was so in my head, what happens if I don't smile, sound pleased whatever. The will to be jolly or at least something in return was so strong and I was having to conciously hold back. I did crack at one point. A girl reached into her handbag, pulled out a carrier bag, pulled out a box, opened the box and showed me a watch. "I just bought it" *said whilst smiling proudly* I just cracked up laughing with her I couldn't bring myself to keep a bored emotionless face after I had just witnessed that epic adventure. Anyhow. I didn't count that one as I didn't follow the rules. I got there in the end and completed the task. I definitely was shocked though at how hard it was to stay completely emotionless throughout.
