psych 101
twenty-four hours a day, stimuli from the outside world bombard your body. meanwhile, in a silent, cushioned, inner world, your brain floats in utter darkness. by itself, it sees nothing. it hears nothing. it feels nothing. this raises the question that predates psychology by thousands of years and helped inspire its beginnings more than a century ago: How does the world out there get in?

the joke [and it's inevitable ruination]
me: so there was this amputee on the beach; no legs or arms and she-
anthony: wait, how'd she get to the beach?
me: what? i don't know. it's not important
anthony: it is important. did she get a ride? did she roll there?
me: *laughs* no, it doesn't matter. she's just on the beach and she's crying. this boy walks up to her and asks, "why are you crying?"
anthony: what a dumb question! she's an amputee, of course she's crying!
me: ...so she says "i'm crying because i've never been hugged before. so the boy hugs her.she's still crying and another boy walks up to her and asks "why are you crying?"
anthony: she has to roll to get places! OF COURSE she's crying!
me: shut up, you're messing up the joke! the boy asks why she's crying and she says "because i've never been kissed before" so the boys kisses her. later she's still crying and so another boys walks up to her and asks why she's crying. she says, "i'm crying because i've never been screwed before" so the boy picks her up, throws her in the ocean and walks away yelling "well you're screwed now" *pauses*
anothony: that was a horrible joke.
me: i hate you.
things i read in my psych book that terrify me....
in humans, too, the unloved sometimes become the unloving. most abusive parents admit to having been neglected or battered as children.
this helped though…
but does this mean that today’s victim is predictably tomorrow’s victimizer? the answer is no. though most abusers were indeed abused, most abused children do not later become violent criminals or abusive parents.

although the debate continues, many researchers now believe that our early attachments form the foundation for our adult relationships

there was this lady talking about how all men were sexist chauvinistic pigs who were only out to bang as many women as possible etc etc. she was going on and on about how women were smarter and worth more than men and about how she was a proud feminist who believed that it was only a matter of time before all men realized how little they actually do for mankind.
