The only social anxiety I ever felt was when I walk by a cute couple making out, and I have a fear of the BF seeing me checking out his woman.

When you are bisexual, this happens all the time.
Actually, because I'm a girl, a lot of times when I'm checking out the woman in a heterosexual couple, the man thinks I'm checking him out. And I give him a look like, "hell no!"

I think I have an argument fetish. During the last election, I had my back to the wall. I was the only supporter of Candidate A, everyone else supported B. I argued with professors, students, even my own mom. I managed to swing just 2 people to my cause.

I wish I could convince people of things. You should be proud you got two whole people to change their minds!

I think this is related to the "couples in public" situation, so I'm gonna share it - the worst PDA I've ever encountered. In spoilers because it's kinda gross:

I was at this pizza place by my undergrad that was really popular purely because it was open extremely late on weekends - like, until 3 or 4 am. We were doing an all-night composing session and I was designated to pick up the pizza for everyone. Anyway. This was around the time when the dance clubs closed, and inevitably a bunch of them swarmed this place for food.

So there was a long line. There was this one couple from my school there in front of me, heavily making out. Necking and biting and all that shit. It was gross. But it got worse. She started telling him what she planned to do when they got back to his apartment. Let's just say it involved her mouth, and not his.

I wanted to vom.

We could also talk about attractive fictional characters. I am fine gushing about Roy Mustang for a little longer.

I thought with how you responded to me, you were in the humanities?

Not really, I study physics.

Of course, from our perspective, we have a skewed opinion about most of the humanities, mostly because most of the studies at our university in that direction have vastly less to do than us. I mean, from such a point of view, a lot of their workload is laughable.

Then again, I've seen some music students practice all the time, but that's what you get for combining studies with a hobby I guess.

Your not making it easy for me to post anymore, the internet's sexy side should stay out of here.

Kinda reminds of this bar we went to and a guy basically was making hand gestures to a girl as a way to flirt cause the music was too loud. He had to be drunk, there is no other explanation.

I have the biggest crush on Ally Sheedy's character in The Breakfast Clubs, her in my avatar. She's adorable and quirky.

I'm just going to go out there and say this is the best Conversational Chat day that has happened for a while.

I despise the sciences except Biology. I sucked at Physics and Chemistry in high school. My mind is not mathematically inclined.

You don't have to be so smug about it (and having friends in the sciences, you don't speak for all of them). A lot of humanities research can seem pretty esoteric and weird and unimportant outside of their disciplines, but let's not pretend there isn't plenty of that in certain parts of physics as well.

Also, as someone who was a music composition major in undergrad, music performance and composition majors aren't really what I mean in terms of "humanities." They're learning a craft, not studying music as an academic subject.

Telling stories is literally the only thing I don't feel like I completely suck at.

I just wish I didn't have to be somewhere in half an hour, because I feel like this conversation would be vastly improved with alcohol.

I get annoyed when students in disciplines such as Engineering or Biochem complain about workloads all the time. I know a few engineering students who not only refer to themselves as "engineers" even though they are mere students, but also spend 90% of the time complaining about how much work they have to do for classes. We get it, Statics is tough, and Dynamics is hard, but nobody forced you to major in Chemical Engineering or whatever. I'm fully aware that my classes are not as difficult as theirs, being in Naturalism/Forestry, but it's just aggravating to hear them moaning and groaning all the time.

Sorry for venting :p

I didn't realize this was about workload for a second. I thought it was yet another "What I do is so important, what you do isn't!" which is another conversation I'm sick to death of.

But yeah, while some humanities majors in undergrad might have relatively light workloads compared to those in STEM or the fine arts (because, as pointed out, music performance students have to practice pretty much constantly), I'm in grad school. Let's just say that "light workload" is not something that happens in grad school, regardless of discipline.
