Alternate Persona: Further Meditation

I'm leaning toward my night owl idea or being a stereotypical SoCal girl. Both are definitely the opposite of my usual habits, so it would be a fun way to reflect on my normal identity.

If I pick being a night owl, I plan to not go to bed until at least 2:00 AM (I know, this may not seem that late to people, but considering I usually go to bed at 10, this seems late to me!). I will have my roommate take photos of me throughout the night and have either my computer clock or cell phone clock in the photo so people can see the time progression. I will wake up at my normal 7-8 AM time and then see how well I function throughout the day. I may even keep a journal in order to record how I feel periodically. I will start this persona Saturday night and continue until Tuesday night.

If I pick being a SoCal girl, I will mostly focus on a physical transformation. I plan to straighten my hair and make it more "beachy" looking as opposed to my natural curly craziness. I will wear ray ban sunglasses, short shorts, flip flops, a tank top, and a swimsuit underneath no matter where I'm going. I will probably alter my speech and slip in as much slang as possible. I also plan on doing stereotypical SoCal activities, like going to the beach, laying out by the pool, etc. Essentially I would give up my aversion to excessive sun exposure and shallow obsessions.

I probably won't choose definitively until we discuss our ideas further in class, but these are just my brainstorms.
