When I Decided I Had the Power to Change Societal Norms

“Changing Societal Norms”
I recently came up with the brilliant idea to completely change and rearrange societal norms. It takes one person to start a trend and I personally believe I am cool enough to influence others. After taking Sociology 101 I thought to myself, “our rules are stupid, boring, and it is our fault. Let’s make our existence a little more interesting." I mean, come on, some people are just so BORING.
The first step in this process consists of completely new language made up of of clicks, moans, screams, yips, rapid blinking of the eyes and head shakes. How much fun! I began in my attempts to change our language by throwing these sounds into my sentences. Soon to find out people were referring to me as the girl who constantly made sex sounds. This upset me. This was our new language people! Thinking back, I wonder about my choice of sounds. Maybe I was sexually repressed? A few years will do it to you. Anyway, I kept with the clicks and head shakes. I figured our society is so obsessed with the possible existence of aliens, why not start acting like them. I know I enjoyed "Signs."
Next came, the call, the luring call, behold. The socially accepted way we attempt to attract potential partners is semi-annoying and fairly time consuming. Some people take the easy way out, by texting DTF to whomever they wish, which could either go very bad or very good. We want something which is easy but not too risky. I say we simply jump up and down while pointing. This is simple, obvious and does not cross boundaries. Best part is, everyone around will know who you are after and back off, very efficient.
I wondered what people would think about this. At one point people thought the person I was pointing to was a robber, criminal or something along those lines. They threw him out of the bar. What a shame, he was a handsome fellow.
Sadly, it seems as if no one took to my ideas. I have been very upset due to the negative outcome of my master plan. But don’t worry, surprises are on their way.
