Realized this years ago and the minute I'm beginning to think that maybe that isn't true, I come across others that just prove it again.

]]> ~DemonGal711 http://DemonGal711.deviantart.com/journal/14596800/ http://DemonGal711.deviantart.com/journal/14596800/ Mon, 26 Nov 2007 21:07:58 PST Nov 27

Okay, so I was in psychology class today and we were talking about this experiment.

To explain, this experiment was done in the 1950s. A newspaper article was run asking for men to join the experiment, saying that they were going to be paid for participating in it. So, the participants began to come.

The experiment starts off with two people and the experimenter. The two people are assigned the roles of either "Teacher" or "Learner." The Teacher is asked to say pairs of words to the Learner (blue-girl, tall-man, green-tree, etc) and then repeat the first word in the phrase and wait for the Learner to say what the other word is (i.e. teacher says blue, learner should say girl). If the Learner says the wrong word, the Teacher is suppose to press a lever on this board that gives a shock to the Learner.

The experiment is suppose to prove that a person can learn from being punished.

Well, the Learner announces before the experiment begins that he has a heart condition and wants to know if the shocks are dangerous. The experimenter says that the shocks are painful but not dangerous. The Teacher is then given a test shock to show how the shock feels. The Teacher agrees that it is painful.

So, the experiment goes on and the Teacher continues to shock the Learner at each wrong answer. The Learner begins screaming in pain at the shocks and begging for the Teacher to stop and to let him out. Most people hit a point where they don't want to continue, but the experimenter tells them that they have to keep going if the experiment is going to be successful. After some prompting from the experimenter, the Teacher resumes his role.

Some people hit a point at which they refused to shock the Learner anymore and even go as far as saying they will give back the money. Eventually, the experimenter says that the experiment will have to be thrown out if they do not continue yet the people continue saying they will not do it anymore.

However, some people keep going after being prompted by the experimenter and begin shocking the Learner at a voltage that is lethal. After hitting 450 volts, the Learner no longer seems to be conscious so they say that the experiment will have to stop.

At that time that the experiment stops, you find out that the Learner isn't actually being shocked, but that they are faking it and acting as though they are in extreme amounts of pain.

The true experiment is to see how far a person will obey a person in power. Since the experimenter kept telling the Teacher it was okay to keep going, the Teacher believed they were doing what was needed, so they obey.


Now, in the psychology world, this experiment is very important cause it can explain why people believed and followed Hitler and why people do things they know are wrong only because someone above them says too.

So, I had already read about this experiment in my sociology class and so I knew what was happening. My teacher brought out the video and started playing it for us. During it, the Teacher would hit a voltage at which the Learner was suppose to scream in pain.

Guess what, my whole class laughed when the guy screamed. They laughed!!! Who the heck laughs when someone is supposedly in pain??? I'm not sure whether it mentioned that the Learners weren't being shocked, but still, why would people find that funny? Do these people just enjoy other peoples pain? Me and the three guys around me (they were the only ones I could see) were the only ones who weren't laughing and we all kept looking when people burst into laughter.

A few people left during the show and I would've as well cause I was so disgusted with these people but I ended up staying cause I wanted to see if my teacher brought up the point about the laughter. She didn't, but it still bugs me.

I mentioned this to my sister (who's going into psychology) and she was ready to march into my classroom and yell at my class. During our lunch, she kept saying how she hates freshmen cause they don't grasp the reality of things and how I am not what she considers a freshmen, even though that is my status.

This really just confirms my reasoning for why I hate people. I can't even express how disappointed I am at the people in my class and how disturbed I am now. Some of the people laughing were even the people who are decent and kind and who would never hurt a soul unless they were backed into a corner.

I am so disgusted right now.

Okay, I wish doctors would get their story straight before scaring families like this. My cousin called today to tell us that my grandfather had a massive heart attack and they didn't think he was going to pull through. Before this even happened, he had 99% blockage of a blood vessel to his brain as well as the effects of smoking and chewing tobacco for at least 20 years. Well, my dad went down to see him (since it's his father) and he just called me a few minutes ago to tell us that the doctors now believe he is going to pull through. Do they have to pull us around like that. I don't need to have the whole "another funeral" then not hanging over my head.

Wow, 3:12 AM. I should go to bed. Though I'm not tired.

You know what, my 18th birthday came and went and I think I missed it. I mean, same thing happened with my 16th birthday as well. Those two are suppose to be fun birthdays, and really nothing happened on either of them for me. Weird.

And you know what, I don't feel like I'm 18. I mean, cept for the fact I'm looking at the 15-16 year olds driving and going, "God, you're too young. You can't be behind that wheel. You're going to kill us all." But, besides that, I feel the same.

Oh, the fact I now have a check book, credit card, and debit card makes me feel a little older. But, you know, I'm frugal anyway so that really shouldn't matter.

[edit]
Look, now it's 4 in the morning. Still not tired.

July 21
Okay, I hate my style as of right now. Every time I try to draw something, it changes. I have no clue how this happens but it does.

Annoying part is I'm trying to figure out whether I should make these comics sorta realistic or if I should just go with whatever style decides to pop up. This is so annoying.

[edit]
Okay, this is really starting to annoy me. I SEE MY COMICS IN OTHER PEOPLES STYLES. What's up with that? I would have no problem with that if I could duplicate their styles but, nope, I suck at them, so yeah, that just kills this. Someone help me. T^T

Okay, I need your opinion on this the few people that actually read my journal. Like I said below, I have like 120 ideas for comics and about 50 other ideas for comics that relate to another story I'm writing.

Well, I'm wondering for the first batch of comics if I should make up a story to go along with why there are so many random characters in my comics. Also, if I do use a story, I can create like another 40 comics or so. So, I can't decide whether to have a story or not.

Now, on to the next problem, since both groups of comics hold a character based off me in it, I'm wondering if at one point they should overlap and characters from one story come into the other. If I do that, then I could use the character from my story instead of making up a reason why this random group is coming out of nowhere.

May 29
Okay, let's see. This is a quick little update about my mind (cause apparently it is weird and likes to do this to me). So, it's 3:13 in the morning and I'm sitting here typing this. I love the night, love the dark, and don't want to go to sleep cause I'm not tired. Well, I have orientation for college in two days and I need to get up early tomorrow so I can go to bed early tomorrow so I can get up earlier the next day (yes, that is the only way to get me back on schedule, telling me to go to bed earlier doesn't work). Well, I was sitting here typing up all the comic ideas from the notebook I have and I'm just counted all of them and there's something like 120 already. I've only been keeping track for the past few days (like, this weekend). I'm going to be drawing comics for the rest of my life if I can come up with that amount in just three days.

Oh well.

Thinking of getting a laptop (I'm random at this time of morning). Can't decide if I should break down and get Vista or pay the extra hundred and get XP. After I figure that out I have to figure out whether I want to get photoshop or open canvas. I think I'm going to download the trials again and compare after I get my laptop. Yay for trial programs.


Anyway, saw POTC last night. That was cool. So saw the ending coming. And, I want to know how standing in a bucket of water that is on land constitutes being at sea? Anyway, I should go to bed. Night.

Explain how I can have a 100.5 degree temperature and freeze. I'm so cold right now it's not funny. And to top it off my grad party was suppose to be today and I was too sick that we had to cancel it. What makes it worse is that my graduation is tomorrow and I'm not sure if I'm going to make it. I mean, if I still have a 100 some temperature tomorrow, I don't think I should be 1) around people and 2) walking in high heels.

May 17
Okay, I'm here again with random problems. Any help would be appreciated cause I really can't make up my mind on these.

1) We had to write these 55 word short stories for my class and I want to post them here. Should I post them seperately or in one deviation (think about it, they are 55 words long, that's it)?

2) Some of them go along with a picture I drew or with a strip I'm planning on drawing. Should I wait till I have the picture up to post them or should I just post them anyway?

3) If I post the stories in one deviation and upload the pictures they go with later, should I place the story in the description of the picture or just link back to the deviation?

Yeah, these are the problems I have... I'm not normal, deal with it.

Okay, going to sound like a really girly girl right now but, ugh, I broke a nail. And I don't mean those little chip things, like it's into the skin and bleeding. It hurts to write this and even to draw (and I really should draw now). Anyway, I'm trying to procrastinate on doing things so that's probably the only reason I'm writing this.

Well, let's see, we've had two days off because of school problems and all that time has not helped me at all with all the pieces I need to finish. I'm really annoyed with two pictures I'm working on, can't get the third to work out, have the fourth one in mind but hate working in watercolors so I'm avoiding that one until later, and I'm not into using pastels right now so I can't finish the other one I'm working on. So, let's see, that's five. And that means I need, 24 minus 12 minus 5 equals 7 more I need to do. This should be fun to do in the next month.

Okay, I'm done.

I swear, if I ever have a mental break, it's because of my family. Not my immediate family but my aunt and cousin. I know most families who have a black sheep. Well, I think my family (mom, dad, and sister) and I are the black sheep of the family since everyone else in my family is insane.

My aunt is 59 I believe and my cousin is 30 something. They both have been living together for as long as I know. My aunt is on oxygen and she smokes like a chimney; my cousin smokes more than my aunt. My aunt went to the hospital once cause her arm was set on fire because she was smoking while the oxygen is on. I don't know whether or not she knows that fire needs oxygen to survive but you would think that smoking and oxygen is a bad combination. Okay, they have been living in many different apartments for a long time. Recently my grandfather has been having problems. He has 99% blockage in one of the veins/arteries that goes to his brain and so is has cause his brain to not think properly. (He called my dad once at 3 in the morning to tell him that my mom was in his shower doing something and that someone was breaking into the house, both of which were not true. He also called the police to have them get him chewing tobacco.)

Well, my parents didn't think it was good for him to live by himself cause he wasn't spending his money properly (coughwhoredowntheroadcough) and he would fall and hurt himself and not do anything about it. My dad found him bleeding once and my grandfather didn't think anything was wrong.

So, since we didn't think it was good, my dad asked my aunt if she would move in with him and keep an eye on him so he doesn't hurt himself. We put down some ground rules like no smoking in the house and keep grandfather away from the whore and things like that. Well, within a few months, they (my aunt and cousin) were complaining that the house was too small and that granddad was frustrating them.

Well, my father decided to buy the house next to one of my friends so that our friend could watch them and my aunt could watch my granddad. They would also get a bigger house and they would be able to get away from each other. (The other house they were at was a ranch style where as this new one has a basement and a first floor.)

So, we moved them into there and things have been fine since then. Well, recently, they've been complaining that they don't like the house they are in now and want to move. I have gotten so frustrated with this that I really don't care what they do any more. They can go live in a hole for all I care.

I still haven't gotten to the best part yet; they are the biggest pigs in the world. They live in filth, dirt all over the place, smoke cloging the air, old dishes lying around all over the place, piles of laundry on the floor. My aunt get money (some 800 dollars) from whatever and 500 (is suppose to) go to rent and so they have 300 to do whatever they want with it cause my granddad is paying for all the bills they get except the internet bill. My cousin is going to school to get an extra 250 or whatever from student loans.

Okay, my cousin has gotten so much in student loans. I believe she got one for some amount and bought a car with it. Okay, student loan, do they even know what the meaning of loan is. I think not.

Okay, well, they have been asking my dad for money for everything. When they lived in apartments, they would call saying "they just turned off our electricity." Well, now they want to move. My aunt has told my dad to sell the first house and give her the money from it so she can go live in an apartment. Why doesn't my 30 some year old cousin go get a fricken job and get the money herself? She has had over 40 jobs and she brags about it all the time. She has been fired from all 40 jobs she's held.

Anyway, recently, my granddad has gotten a lot of medication because of the many problems he has with his health. One of the things that he has gotten is a narcottic (sp?) to help him sleep. Well, my family member went to help my granddad cause he called her multiple times complaining about everything and the month's supply of narcottics have been finished in a week. Well, my mind immediately wonders if the cousin took his medication and is selling them for money since she knows people who would buy that stuff. Either that or she's giving them to my aunt so she will sleep. Either way, my granddad isn't getting them and so he hasn't slept in days.

Anyway, my aunt and cousin are planning to move back to the first house
(without my grandfather). They also believe that when my grandfather dies that they are going to live in the first house since apparently we need four houses and don't have to pay a... ]]> ~DemonGal711 http://DemonGal711.deviantart.com/journal/10975450/ http://DemonGal711.deviantart.com/journal/10975450/ Wed, 06 Dec 2006 17:51:51 PST

I want to make a list of books that I want to read. I always end up at the library or bookstore and go, "what should I buy/get?" Well, if I get a list started, maybe I'll start reading them.

Oh, in case you all don't know, I'm a fantasy/adventure/mystery/etc book reader so if you know of a book like that or that you think I might like, please suggest it cause I really need to read more if I want to writer when I get older.

If you wish to suggest a book to me, can you please tell me a little of what the book is about as well as the title and author. Thanks.

I finished The Catcher In The Rye.
On to my next book.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Six things wierd about me:

1. I'm disorganized when it comes to most things.
2. I'm organized when it comes to the computer.
3. I like to get things done on time (especially school things) yet I procrastinate (big time procrastinator here).
4. If I procrastinate on projects, I seem to get better grades (did a whole 10 page paper in one night, got the only A in the class).
5. I'm disorganized (stated above) yet a perfectionist.
6. I can come up with a storyline by just seeing something happen.
(Like, tonight at dinner, my dad kinda hit his knife and it fell at him. As I saw that, a story came into my head of a knife, that talked, that one day got fed up with the person using it and killed him. Well, the police came and took pictures of the crime scene and all and they took the knifa as evidence and placed it in a plastic bag. Well, later, the police discover that the knife was the one who murdered the man but the knife is dead because they put it in a sealed platic bag. Yes, I know my mind is weird.)

Six things to know about me:

1. I like to write (no duh).
2. I like to draw (as if you couldn't tell).
3. I'm very random (see above).
4. My mind is twisted (hence above and the pictures I'm working on).
5. I always carry a notebook with me (you'll never know what's in it).
6. If I say I'll do something, I'll do it. It just might take me a while (*coughMistressYume'sbirthdaygiftcough*)

Okay, those are my responses.
