An example of "Cognative Dissonance"
I was roaming the halls of my work/internship this afternoon, when a young lady stopped me for a bit for a quick chat up/flirt session. She asked me how everything was going, especially with school, I told her that I am graduating May 15. She asked me what my plans were after I completed school. I mentioned that more than likely that I will probably start a band! Here I am, from her perspective that was written all over her face, Mr. IT God, Nerd-On-High that i am, putting all of my efforts into getting a degree, to contemplate, what, PLAYING MUSIC?!?! "Surely, being in Montana, you are going to play Country music, right?" I then replied, "No, thats not my thing." Needless to say, the convo kinda died not to long after that. I love taking ppls expectations and scrambling them.
No real point to this thread, just thought I'd share.
