Alternate Identity Proposals

So I have had a few ideas regarding this project, but since Kip's last lecture when he said "this is not Halloween" I thought that I should take a different approach. Here are some of the identities I have been considering so far...

1. OCD- I thought that for 48 hours, I could take on the personality of someone who deals with extreme Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Everybody has little compulsions, even myself, but they have never prevented me from doing other activities the way that OCD does for some people. Before I start the 48 hours i would write down a list of my compulsions that would affect the everyday tasks I do, such as going to school and work. For example, one could be that I have to sit in my chair at least 11 times before finally taking a seat. Another could be walking only on the left side of the sidewalk. I feel like this would be a good identity to choose because there are so many possibilities. I could also record how I was treated and other reactions to my obsessions.

2. Valley Girl- I think that this identity would be closest to my initial idea of taking on the persona of a Disney Princess. However, by playing a Valley girl I would probably blend it a lot better and thus be able to interact with people more realistically. This identity would basically be the opposite of what i am now. I think that a lot of my friends would be surprised to see me all dressed up and acting ultra-girly. The only problem in executing this identity would be that I probably would not stand out that much, especially at this school. It would be more of an experience for me instead of for those around me.

3. Speechless- This one may still need some work, but I thought that I could lose the ability to speak for 48 hours. This would be pretty difficult because I will probably have to work on Monday during the time where I would not be able to speak. I feel like this would be interesting though because I could pay better attention to everything else going on around me. I wonder if I couldn't say anything if anybody would even bother talking to me? For this identity I would basically imitate the teen in Little Miss Sunshine. I'm not sure if I would carry around a notebook with me to communicate or just use what I could find. After the two days I'll be sure to let out a loud scream to relief my inability to communicate.
