Why I’m Not a Physicist.
(…marks are out!)
can’t say I didn’t try. But there are just some things I’m not made for, and finally I can truly understand and see that for myself. I’ll leave it to the true nerds to dominate.
I could not accept the fact that I cannot do Physics, so I took it to try to prove to the world that a math-illiterate can do Physics. Yeah, I’m stubborn. Well,
…the important point is, is that I passed Physics by working hard. Or was it working hard copying answers from other nerds in class(?) Hmmm.

Loving Romantically.
So my wise-master WhiteNoiseSymphony always screws around with my head. Apparently, caring for somebody and caring for somebody romantically are two different things. (This proves my theory that S.O will always somehow be in a different category than your friends, and will always and most definitely get better treatment — and better presents during Christmas time) Equality my ass.
So my question to the wise-master was, “Then, how do you know that you care about somebody in a romatic way?” First, he said this.
WNS: “i wonder where my friends are….i call them…i hope they’re all doing well…doesn’t mean i want to bang them (well..most of them)”
SAN: “Uh, master? It’s all about SEX then?!?!”
WNS: “No, bad analogy, let me try again.”
SAN: “Master, I want definitions.”
WNS: “ you want to be w/ someone…not cause you’re lonely….or they’re persistant…or because they want you…
i know i’m really into someone when i’m out having a blast w/ my friends…i’m having the greatest time of my life….but the one time i stop to think about that person…i realize i would rather be home w/ her…..doing nothing….not even having to say anything….just lying there doing shit all
your worst moment w/ that someone will hands down beat your best moment doing almost anything else with anyone else….”
SAN: Wise wise words. [proceeds to grabbing a brown bag to puke in] (Just joking, I had watery eyes).
So in conclusion, Master sums it up in one line: “love is loving someone regardless of how they feel about you….BLISS is loving someone and having them love you back“.
Xangans, do you agree? How do you distinguish between caring for somebody, and caring romantically for somebody? Is it different for everybody? Or universal?

like they said, “it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.”
that one liner pretty much sums it up and sums it up good.
PSYC 1010 was pretty much the only class i passed in my first year. and your mark still kicks my ass.
i dont agree with that statement… how can that be love if you love them and potentially they dont love you back… that’s ignorance…there has to be reciprocity… I am not an expert this matter but I think it has to do with how two people are connected physically and emotionally. The one you love should be the one who you can share that deep connection with and be intimately connected with. And I think it has to do with other emotions/feelings that you positively associate with them.
lol.. I agree.
Love is a rather saturated term. To keep things simple, I say attraction is based on a quality, and is thus conditional, while affection is based only on returned affection. Every relationship will have both, but most married couples who have been together for a long time tend to have more affection for each other than attraction, and vice versa for most young couples. You certainly must be attracted to some quality to initiate a relationship, but all those qualities change or fade…thus, establishing mutual affection (in essence, unconditional love) is important.
As for physics without math, it’s entirely possible to apply physics to real-world scenarios and even innovate, making significant contributions in the field. However, passing a physics class pretty much requires math skills/nerd resources. ‘Tis a shame, really.
I’m the opposite of you. In first year life sci, I got 4,0 in physics and the rest of my courses, except philosphy, where I got 3.3. Philosophy is hard.
i care for everyone pretty much the same… as best as i can. what makes the difference romantically is knowing that they care unconditionally for me too and there’s some vibealicious static constantly in the air.
Wow..i’m getting blasted here lol. Ok, re Shake Things Up’s comment: Whether it be paternal/maternal love, romantic love, whatever…you can always love someone and not have it returned. It’s a little idealistic to say that “love” is only love when it’s reciprocated. People fall in love with others who don’t feel the same all the time (sad but true). Ultmately, yes “The one you love should be the one who you can share that deep connection with and be intimately connected with.” The key words here being should be, unfortunately it doesn’t always work out that way. Unrequited love is a fact of life. People can be on two completely seperate emotional levels at any time.
Case in point: a girl is leading a guy on. She only wants him for his money, car, status, cookies, whatever. If that man declares his undying love for her, is it fair to dismiss his feelings only because she’s playing his dumbass like a rag doll? He may in fact feel a very real connection and emotional attachment based on how she’s presented herself….she, on the other hand, may not. Can you prove that he doesn’t love her? No. He may just love the idea of her – or who she is pretending to be, but regardless, in his mind…he loves “her”.
