Okay... amongst the doodling and scribbling in my journal I wrote the word ADRENALINE RUSH. Do you think people get an adrenaline rush when doing something wrong. Is there an excitement, or a thrill in betrayal?

I think an adrenaline rush in the act of "doing something wrong" is quite normal, actually; it's a step (or a leap?) into the unconventional. Whether it's right or it's wrong, it sure isn't neutral or predictable, and that is inevitably stimulating.
ReplyDeleteYou'd want to specify between doing something wrong with premeditation and doing something wrong because you didn't know how to do it any right-er. Then there's the snowball act of simply making a mistake!
Another interesting thing to explore would be the detachment that comes from "doing the wrong thing" on purpose so much that it's boring. Imagine a character that did right--simply because it was a departure from the mundane!
I'm thinking of the dialogue between Sparrow and E. in Pirates II where she accuses him of wanting to be a good man because he's "curious"...
