Day Two Hundred and Nine - I Even Love It When You're Faking It

I must thank fellow thing-a-dayer Colette [www.colette2008.blogspot.com - it won't link the other way] for this idea. She seems to do the most suitable stuff for me to copy [or imitate - it's the highest form of flattery] on days that are...just not my kind of day [such as today].

When I was @ U of T I took Psych 100 as I needed to take one science course to graduate. Unfortunately, psychology @ U of T is incredibly difficult and no one bothered to tell me this. Psychology was...interesting: sometimes this resulted in an epic nosebleed during an exam, sometimes this involved me drawing dinosaurs on an exam paper, sometimes this resulted in tarot card reading or Salinger reading on the upper deck, sometimes this involved me skipping an entire semester of class, sometimes this involved me getting hysterical and needing to be slapped [and getting slapped and rightly so], sometimes this resulted in me getting hideously and illegally drunk for the last time [oh, the memories...oh, wait...], sometimes this resulted in 90210 and sometimes this involved me consenting to allow others to experiment. On my brain. By letting psychology grad students experiment with me, I was allowed to raise my grade. Yay. It was way easier than actually going to class, learning and studying Gleitman.

I only mention this because my thing for today reminded me of the one psych test I took as a result of me being an exceptionally high-ranking narcissist [I know - try to contain your surprise]. Today I took an online psychology test about distinguishing fake/real smiles. I guess it's not specifically a psych test, but it really seems like something they might make you do. I'm officially terrible @ this as I got 13/20 [and I predicted I was going to do awesome]. I think it's because I'm very cynical and paranoid and I think that everyone is faking it. I was going to try to take pictures of myself smiling naturally and forcing a smile, but I didn't know how to make that happen.

Here's the link for the test. Let me know if you are better @ this than I am. And yes, now that I visit the site again I see that it *is* a psych test...so I am not going crazy.
