So I wanted to find a rule to break in my field of study.... when I read that we were supposed to be doin that instead of just breakin any old rule... Then I thought, "What rules period can I break without getting arrested?" and I came up with none... So then I decided ((upon getting sick with a cold)) that if I can't think of any rules to break... I can think of some codes of honor of mine that I could break.
Also Beth told me to do something with the leg that she gave me… I decided not to incorporate it in this project… but in a sense I guess I did.. because I broke her rule ((HACHA!)). I only did this because when that leg came into my possession, it became a personal goal to me to just unleash my world onto it, and with the pressure of having it “assigned” to me, I would have been more focused on impressing the thought of the project and trying to be creative than not focusing and just letting things flow. That said, Chlamydia will get her leg back ASAP this week. xD
But enty who, a few fields that I want to go into is tattooing, storytelling with graphic novels, and 2-D digital storytelling. When a client tells you what they want and you both have an agreed date to get work done you can’t just not work on the design because you feel pressured to do so. Being pressured to do so could possibly make you create something magnificent or it could very well destroy you, but in this field, you have to be able to work under the pressure of the client to get things done. By me not doing this leg when I indirectly agreed with Chlamydia that I would have this shit done by next Monday, I breached my contract with her and I could not produce a wonderful design for her when it came down to doing so. What I got out of breaking this rule? I guess more time to perfect what I did on her… other than that, this rule in my fields of study should not be broken without renegotiation.
So yeah, I became sick with a cold after Monday and I was just thinking about what I could do with that. It's a common code of courtesy to me to not get anybody sick on purpose cause that's just fucked up, but I have this friend who just automatically starts "getting sick" when he catches wind that I'm sick. -__- ((he has his reasons I guess. xD )) And I always tell him, "Look! It's in your damn head. I'm not even fuckin contagious right now! Dx " and he just sniffles and sniffles.. The shit is ridiculous honestly... so I got sick and I didn't tell him I was... and we made out... for many days straight ((with breaks in between of course))... And I observed him over the weekend and yeah he never got sick.
Was this a sick and twisted thing to do? Sure… Did I get anything out of this? Sure… What I got out of breaking this common code of courtesy was the satisfaction of proving to myself that it was in his damn head. When I get sick, I don’t normally spread it to others; even if I come into contact with the public. But yeah I strongly believe that the placebo effect can really have a strong influence on my friend's physical being...or what he doesn't know wont kill him.. something like that.
