My Gesture:
When I'm around my friends, especially the people that live on the floor of my door room, I tend to flip them off jokingly. Though in most circumstances this gesture is considered obscene, the way I am using it is more in a social aspect to show mild frustration and to pass it off in a humorous manner. On the sides of this post are the picture I took of everyone and everything I flipped off after I took note of what I did for 24 hours. As you can see, most of the faces they make are funny, staged faces because they thought the


pictures were also humorous. I took a picture from the point of my finger and got the person or object I was flipping off in the frame. When the person had walked away before I had taken the picture, I called them back and got them to walk back into the shot. Some of the objects in here were just me frustrated with a homework assignment and flipping off the wall. The object in the bottom right though does have a little more significance. The bottom right is our dorm building, Lawrinson, which had it's second fire drill in about the second week that we have been here. I flipped the building off out of frustration for having to walk down then back up 15 flights of stairs right after having rugby practice.
