    Today in anatomy wet lab we were discussing the GIT. As the tutor talked about the small intestines I felt really hungry.

    Later I went home and took out a slice of cheese. As I ate that piece of cheese I had images of cadavers pop into my head.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    I think it's because you're just not used to separating relatively disturbing material to your regular everyday life. I think you'll get used to it quite soon; you just have to learn to pick up tips for the time being until you're used to seeing it in a medical setting (I'd recommend meditation). If it gets bad, I'd go see a psychologist. If it persists in an extreme manner where it strongly interferes with your life, the medical field may not be right for you.

    No one wants to read about corpses while you're eating. As I recall from my secondary school studies, the sights of what you're eating contribute to your overall sense/task of eating. If you were eating a sandwich while studying corpses, your brain might have associated yourself with eating the corpses in your textbook and the mere thought of it caused you to become nauseating because of its taboo nature.

    Weird, I had a similar experience yesterday. I was at a samich shop eating lunch while reading my textbook on homicide investigation. The book has graphic images of postmortem corpses with various wounds and in various stages of decomposition. I had to switch to the next chapter about sexual assault because I felt my lunch coming up while reading that first chapter.

Where the dreamer and his dream?

    Is there anything wrong with wishing your twelve year-old sister was physically two or three years old again so that you can kiss her on the cheek, carry her in your arms, generally care for her and just die from her cuteness?

    I'm not saying I wouldn't take a bullet for my sister today. I'm just saying I wish she was cute again so I can do all those things to her. I can't do it to my baby cousins today because their parents will think I'm weird and messed up.

    Note: I am not a pedophile, nor have I had any thoughts about molesting my sister.

    Nothing at all wrong with that. I wish the same thing all the time with my daughter. but more because since she has started talking she never shuts up. I long for the days when she would just cuddle up quietly to me and not have to profane the air with constant questions on why there are no boy fairies in Winx Club or why I am killing all the rein Deer in Skyrim.

    I killed everything that moved in Skyrim. I've killed just about everything that walks or crawls at one time or another.

    So this year, will you buy yourself presents to prove you're not on Santa's naughty list (and thereby giving her the idea that she really don't have to be good to receive presents), or will you go without and prove your daughter right? xD

    And stop killing deers.

    @enkoujin: parents and relatives wish that all the time. No big deal.

    Turn it into a lesson on separating games from reality. The earlier she learns that, the smaller the chances she will ever preach against games in later life.

    Though it won't probably matter that much in the end; Santa comes from the north and in the north reindeers are regular food...

    Pretty sure he's vegan. The milk I leave him never gets drunk.

    Is there anything wrong with always looking for (okay, maybe not looking.. but readily accepting or considering) someone better than your current partner when you're in a relationship?

    Isn't that the whole point of dating? Aren't you looking for the best possible match? If so, you should always be open to the idea that someone better could come along.. and you should accept the better according to principle. Don't you agree? And if not, are we settling for whoever is "good enough"? Why is that the case? And if they're only "good enough", wouldn't that lead to divorce/break-ups once your own personal values change?



    I hear people talk about the qualities of their partners sometimes. One of the things I hear when people talk about "inner beauty" as opposed to "external beauty" is that it doesn't change due to biological aging. One other thing is that people say things like "You're not the most beautiful, you're not the smartest.. but you're the kindest" or "you're the one who treats me the best". Inner or outer aside, in the end they're all just attributes though.. and like all attributes there's a possibility that someone could best them - be it outer beauty, or inner kindness.

    What about post-marriage? That still counts as a relationship in my books. Or is marriage when you cash in your chips and leave the table for good?

    I don't believe in marriage, and neither do divorce rates.

    I'd say there is no hook until you have kids. Except for rape, there's no excuse for having kids with someone you have no intent of spending at least ~20 years (kids baby to adulthood) EFFICIENTLY and HAPPILY with.

    Marriage is just a cultural thing. But I think it's best to just be honest with your girlfriend Buff and tell her you're likely to bounce at any moment! lol Though there is no promise the "better" candidate will also think you are "better" for them.

    The grass is always greener, at first glance anyway. When you look closer, you'll notice the problems in your neighbor's yard and regret moving. The chances of finding the perfect person for you are close to nil, and being single sucks for the most part. So be happy with what you have. If you want something better, then improve yourself before looking for someone else.

    Is there anything wrong with hating certain dishes on principle? I mean, I can eat the dish and don't really find it disgusting because I can generally eat anything, but I hate it and never eat it because it is either gimmicky or fake. Sweet pasta and crab sticks come to mind.
