Skipping Beats, Blushing Cheeks  
Psych 101 has been the most surprising subject I've had this semester. I find myself really eager to learn, which is rare. On our last day, we finally talked about Interpersonal Attraction: Liking and Love.

And since I know myself, I know this isn't love. It's probably just a deep like of sorts. And ma'am discussion today cemented this little fact. But what interests me more, is what do they have?

Anyway, liking someone entails four factors: physical attractiveness: check! (pre and post hair shearing) proximity: check! (though i can't deal with the buy-one-take-one situation, i can't complain) familiarity: check! (though a one sided familiarity, with me getting to know) and of course similarity: check! (i'd like to believe we're on the same wavelength and have simliar musical interests among other things)

Thing is, I'm sure they have all four factors to the hundredth power. So I still lose. Panx says that I'm impatient and way too cerebral. Believe me, I wish I weren't either. I wish things don't become mainly virtual either. Though CMTs are convenient, I so wouldn't mind face-to-face interaction (so comm res).

it's funny. the moment i decide to stop. there are so many go signals. haircuts, milk trucks, plate numbers. please stop redeeming yourself.

o i like ur lil F4.
im havin probs with the P (가까움, 근접).

there should probably be a class dedicated to learning and understanding Interpersonal Attraction: Liking and Love. ~bcuz apparently a lot of boys do not understand this topic. D:

the F2F interactions made me think of drunk ppl who :*...
lol :o)

I wish things don't become mainly virtual either. ~~Y!

++omg yes. sometimes when you have decided to give up or on the verge of wanting to give up... theres always these damn signs that remind u / make u want to keep on tryin. :/

the world is sorta evil like that.

gahh~~ LOVE is like a traffic light.

RED. YELLOW. GREEN.

... & y do i feel like im a fangirl of ur UGAM entries? *~*

Psych 101 is love. sayang we only had one meeting for love and like. so sad. INterpersonal attraction should be a requirement for all college boys. haha. like they'll listen.

I don't get drunk, nor do i drink a lot, so i wouldn't know. although i do wish to get drunk preferrably in the company of friends and a hot guy who's willing and sober enough to take me home.

Actually, mine are virtual in a cellphone sense. as he is the un-google-able man, he has no virtual online life. haha.

i was already set on giving up. as in seriously. and i tried to stop the effort -- but the evil world loves to torture me. so it bombarded me with signs and signs and signs. or maybe i'm interpreting everything wrong.

I LOVE YOUR ANALOGY. brake, caution, go. i think i'm in caution now. :)

Thanks for fangirling. i appreciate it. thing is, fangiriling is for things that won't ever happen. LoL

lol well my speech class always goes off on topics. the other day nga my teacher was saying that "men cant be raped! but men can rape men!".... lmao idk.

o p~ one of these days ull get drunk... probably in a place far far away from home.... ull meet a look-alike of one of your fave hotties: (DH, jake g, etc..)... & well all inhibitions will go through the wind~! huzzaahh~~!

my advice is NG=not good. but yeahh...

omg fangirling has such an impact.
pwns school sometimes....
& i scary when FG turns into influences the REALITY of ♥.

i love classes taht go off topic. but yeah, i dont think men can be raped. i have to read up on that.

i know i'll get drunk. i'm just afraid of what the crap i'll do when i am drunk. not good at all. i know myself. i'll be up to evil.

your advice is NOT NG, it's pretty sound. :)

being a fangirl is my occupation. i only moonlight as a student. :D

how i wish nursin had detailed psych subjects...darn..anyways, i really don't think that loving or liking someone contain just these elements, i think it takes something more complicated than physical attractiveness, proximity, familiarity and similarity because at times, one, or maybe none of these elements are within a person yet we still end up to like or love them..
..regarding signs, well..that's what they are Patty (uy feeling close!), they remain as such until we take actions, so don't blame the heavens, we still have power over them...
lastly....i'm liking your blog so much..keep it up

psych is an elective, so we technicallly dont have it.
