dolly, forensic psychology does sound fascinating... It sounds fascinating. But there's little follow-through on that subject. It's actually pretty boring.

lol. trust me, i've learned that lesson. back in 7th grade i wanted to be a marine biologist. i even had my share of interest in our various little biological "experiments." however, i soon figured out that i just wanted to swim with pretty fish and discover the cure for cancer in the tissue of live coral, but i didnt want to involve myself in any of the dull and seemingly rote aspects that were requried to get me from point a to point b...
what might be even MORE fascinating would be the psychology of a forensic psychologist...yeah...

S, I'm glad you didna spew on Clive. He's alriiiight.
I find the subjects that bore others interest the hell out of me. I spent 6 months with a research group looking at enzymes when I was finishing up my Science degree & if I don't do my Masters in for.psych it'll be in genetics instead. Biology is possibly the most boring subject alive to most people, but to me, its awesome.
English lit, on the other hand? Bores me. Marketing? Boring. Sociology? Boring.
History is great though. Never boring. Especially ancient history, beacuse its so nerd.

boring: marketing, business, and careers in fastfood
could go either way: history, biology, geology, physics, sociology, forensic science, cultural antropology
usually interesting: history, layman's physics, art history and theory, philosophy, literature, et cetera....
i'm glad you're obsessed with biology. we need more of you out there unraveling god-ish mysteries...

Yes. Like allergies, cause they're a fucking pain.

I'm allergic to stupid people. I break out in hives if I'm near them.
History is terribly interesting. When I'm older & rich, I'd like to quit my job & read history texts all day & wonder about past things.
One of my new fish is named Xerxes. I named him that because
a) he had qualities befitting a warrior b) there was a doco on the ancient Greco-Persian battles playing on TV at the time c) I am a geek d) I was mildly stoned at the time

What kind of warrior qualities? Are we talking battle scars and war paint?

He started to menace another fish (a charming little fellow named Keanu, who never hurt a fly) & you know all those fishtank accessories (like the 'no fishing' signs [lol...] & plants, faux coral etc), he was hiding behind them & kinda darting out at the other fish, most of whom were too stupid to realise Xerxes wanted to battle.
People think fish are boring, but they're not. We have dozens (which I think Xerxes likes, because he can amass a powerful army).

Sounds like you need to find a worthy opponent for Xerxes, unless Keanu or another fish summons the courage to fight him.

If Xerxes gets too rowdy, I can just put him in with one of the fighting fish (the ones you have to tank separately, remember Fishface who DIED at the hands of another fighting fish?) Asian fighting fish mean business whereas Xerxes is a bubble eye goldfish. I bought him because he looks so funny, I just laugh at him

SIKE (psyche!) sisyphus! marketing is FASCINATING! I hate it, but its Jim Jones Kool Aid..Anyone would buy Pretzels with a pencil attached if its marketed correctly! How is that boring? Why do people watch that TV show with Donald Trump? Cos they want the pain--they want to see people get fired--all these people sitting on their asses watching this shit.....Why havent I jumped off a bridge yet? Bubble gum, music, you can get it all electronically-what to wear on Spring Break--how to find out if your man is cheating on you, how to know if your pet crab wants out of its cage, how to know if the cloud you saw to your right this morning has designs on creating a flood in the future....this is all supposed to bring meaning to human life? RIGHT? Marketing.
layla-Holy Shit! I must be allergic to myself! I used to write off history thinking it would teach me nothing. Almost got tattoos and my ears pierced thinking that these things would separate me from the pack of humans but no. At least I was not part of the Babyshambles debacle! and before I die my wish is to take a ride on a blimp.
My hats off to the ladies! Im not kissing ass Im serious. I would throw a picture of myself for virtual tomotoes just in case any of the ladies here had problems with the whole male species but that would be a waste of your time methinks. Monitors dont need bulletholes.
I will say this: Women are awesome. heysuess.

That was the best goddam post I've read all week. I take my pants off to you, Wayved. I hope this makes up for whoever wanted to spew on Clive Owen originally...you can't not find Josh Homme sexy, I'm sorry. A ginger-haired playing a guitar super-fast? If that ain't sexy, then I don't know what is.
