Psychology - August 2006

is not a mental disorder, or a choice, but rather a sexual orientation established at birth. Since that time, they have also voted to designate other sexual desires as orientations instead as a mental disorder/choice. These include attractions to both sexes, to animals, and to children. The last one was done at their San Diego Conference (2001) and was controversial. With homosexuals demanding equal rights, would not also providing the same rights to the other orientations, be still endorsing discrimination? Do you fear that if homosexuals gain the same rights as heterosexuals, that it would lead us down a path that we may not wish to be taking? Will we need to say that certain orientations have no rights, period, and that if one day we learn what part of DNA causes the difference in sexual orientations, that it should be treated as a genetic disorder, with corrective measures taken?

This is a highly controversial subject, but one that needs to be considered.

so I'm in a long, dark room and I see Natalie Portman in the distance, covered in frosting.

she slowly walks towards me, making that weird noise and spasm from Garden State the ENTIRE time (it feels like it takes ten minutes or more before she gets to me).

then she stops right next to me, morphs into Jar Jar Binks, and spits a strawberry in my face repeatedly.

after this she turns back to herself, takes a few steps back, and begins running in circles (she always makes three complete circles before stopping).

finally, she stops, faces me, pulls out a gun, yodels, and starts firing.

then I wake up.

For someone who likes, or thinks they are in love with a person who is in a band. I know half the people (aka girls) are infatuated with the morons in bands just because they're in a band, no matter how funny looking they are. I know it's infatuation, but what do you call it when a person is infatuated with someone in a band, mainly the lead singer? I've just been calling it "Groupie Syndrom", but is there a real term for it, or is it just considered infatuation by most?

Hey there, listen quick question about something. When I'm at work there's this girl that I pass everyday, I always greet her in passing but she never responds and she doesn't even make eye contact. I'm as nice as I can be without being creepy. It kind of erks me a little because I really try to reach out to people to be kind and I have an outgoing personality. I notice when i pass her she will twitch her eyes in my direction but it's like she straining not to make eye contact with me. also in the elevator she will just look straight ahead or down at the ground. normally in the elevator I make eye contact with people, but not to a point to where it's uncomfortable...I was tryin to carry a conversation on with someone in the elevator and the guy i was talkin to started to sweat profusely....I was like WTF?

Sometimes I get these un-explainable feelings in me when people I love are put into difficult situations. For example, one of my family members was visiting India while the tsunami took place and another time someone in my family went to the hospital for surgery. Both of these times, people were really worried but I wasn't because I had a gut feeling that they would be alright and they were. Another time, my uncle went in for surgery and I had a strong feeling that he would make it... and he didn't. Does this mean I have somewhat of a sixth sense?
