Hypnotism Deception...I'm going to hell...

So hypnotism is one of those New Age things...I guess. I don't even know. Controlling peoples' minds with psychological persuasion...cool? It's one of this creepy things where if you commit too much to it, you're basically a witch-like person who worships the devil. I don't even know if that's true...but here it goes...

Two days ago, Champlain hosted this Hypnotism thing on campus by...I forgot the dude's name...one sec...Steve Taubman. And this guy is pretty legit...he came last year. I went last time, did some ridiculous things (take off my shirt? give a dude a lap dance?) all under my control. I just listened to the guy, became a team player and it was all good. So being the kinda nuts guy I am...I decided to go up again and surprisingly, he allowed me to stay. But this time...when he did the whole bit "you're at the beach. it's hot guys. 90 degrees...you need to take off those shirts!" I thought otherwise...

BY THE WAY! I have come to the realization I did not begin the previous paragraph with "anyways..."

Anyways...to make up for the absence of the first...I'm not doing my Flash homework. Which is due...by the end of the semester? Whatever...

So then he stretched out my nose to which I make the facial gesture to make the audience go "rofl" and say "I'm a Chinese Pinocchio!" The audience went straight into holy fuck that's funny. Which I always pull out the Chinese thing in whatever public appearance I'm doing...which...btw...Chinese people's noses don't stretch. They aren't made for stretching.
(I thought of that just now as I was about to post this blog entry to my facebook @ 9:52 pm. real time remember).

That's the setup. I was under my own control...so cool it. I was not hypnotized. I knew I was in control when feeling up that girl's leg during that romantic movie moment when all I could see were the laughing faces and the slightly audible "GO TOMMY!" After wards, I told all my skeptical friends I improvised the whole thing. They agreed with "You were overacting, Tommy."

Yesterday I was heading to Fireside Lounge and saw this professor. Trying to avoid him (not walk into him) I steered left...he followed and went, "Hi, I saw you at the hypnosis show last night! Tell me, do you remember your name?" What kinda dumb question is that? But then i remembered that was supposed to forget my name during the hypnosis. "Oh yeah, last night! I forgot my Chinese name as well!" wtf? Come on Tommy...

"You were really under hypnosis? What was it like?"

"Well..." I had two options:

The TRUTH: I faked it like a hot babe getting bored after the first 5 minutes of sex, or
the LIE: I was under the influence of hypnosis.

"Yeah! It was so weird! When he told me to do things, I felt the compulsion to do those stupid things! Like giving him my wallet! It was so awkward!"

"Really? Hypnotism fascinates me..." he replied and then I proceeded to lose 15 minutes of my life...based on a little lie...which in turn became a bigger lie...

Look, when under hypnosis, I think you're supposed to be more calm and subtle about the things you do. Thursday night when we did the phone/shoe thing, i ran up, grabbed someone's foot, screamed into his shoe (while noticing a specific someone sitting next to him) and go "MR. PRESIDENT!" on my left is the cameraman...."OH SHIT! SOMEONE IS FILMING ME!! G2G!" and crawl down the stairs...on my stomach...no guy under hypnosis would do that! I would do it if you asked me to in real life! I'm practically the most insane guy out there! When you are part of the improv troupe, you learn to always say yes and never say no. Always agree cause...well yeah...1 sec I need to get my laundry...

My laundry is still damp. What's the point of the one hour cycle through the dryer if it's gonna come out damp?

Anyways...as I was going to get my laundry, I realized that this entry is pretty much in real time. Almost like a YouTube video except...this one is in writing...and you can't see me! haha you don't know what I look like. For all you know I'm not even Chinese...or Asian! haha I'm fucking with you.
