*Fun Reactions*

After my last post; which was somewhat ho-hum; I have decided to write a new happier post. I would have to say that overall I am a pretty happy person and that I look at life in my own unique way. I manage to blow with the breeze yet still be the leaf that dances to her own beat and possibly hits you upside the face.

I try to make myself known in most situations (bucket full of contradictions). I will say something and people will get that taken-a-back look; and I love when the almost never failing quotes, "What did you just say?" or "You did not just say that!". I try so hard to keep from smiling and respond, "Yes, I did just say that". Please feel free to rely on the things attached to either side of your head; they are called ears. I'm guessing this reaction occurs probably because the way that I present myself is different from the way that I act.

Here is my list:

Things that will get an interesting reaction out of people:

1. Be out of the social norm. Who needs to be normal anyhow? Normalcy is for LOSERS! HA!
2. Wit; knowing that you can think on your feet and interject strange things into a conversation.
3. Act normal, but be not normal. This somewhat contradicts with the first one; but READ this --> Start off a situation normally but start inserting unnormal  (new word!) things into the situation. Example: When you are talking to a friend about your day; start off standing in a normal position; then as the conversation progresses start standing in interesting ways. Be creative with your foot stance and posture. DON'T DRAW ANY ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE CHANGED; just continue on like normal and watch others around you.
4. Say something totally inappropriate or make bad jokes at random times. This may require some prep work. Google interesting facts about sneezes to begin with; the possibilities are endless. Note: it doesn't have to be related at all to the topic at hand; sometimes it is better if it is towards the other extreme.
5. Facial expressions. When someone is telling a story use facial expressions that display the opposite emotion of the story. (Note: Sensitivity should be used)
6. Start speaking in strange tones. This accompanied with facial expressions is so strange; but awesome at the same time.
7. Pose randomly. 
8. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there. 
9. Creepy, awkward and being knowledgeable will take this skill to above and beyond.

People may start to view you in another way after you have used some of the listed above tips. If you are okay with this then grand! If not, you may want to take up another hobby like skiing or beach volleyball or something a little to extreme organizing stacks of paper you see lying randomly around. 

In order to do all of the above you need to be comfortable in your own skin. If you aren't I suggest talking to someone or just trying it and seeing what happens; maybe taking a risk is what you need. I'm not saying that everyone needs to do start being a little awkward; it just maybe something to do when you are completely bored out of your mind.
