To not feel.

Tunes in my head: Air Born by Camel
Atmosphere: Heavy


I've deleted this post twice already out of not knowing what to write.

What drives the writer to write? It's a seriously confusing thing, isn't it?

Occasionally it's like a masterpiece musician sitting at the piano, Rachmaninoff squirming out of his fingers like liquid. It comes seemingly naturally, there's no effort really needed. The thoughts just stream through the mind, they don't need preconception. One could be talking and writing those words at the same time. One hundred and fifty to two hundred words a minute where needed. In those magical moments, you don't control the words, the words don't control you. They just emerge, and it's somewhat magical, I suppose.

Sometimes, it's a lot harder. Sometimes you have to beat the sentences into submission. They don't really agree with you, but they come anyway. The writer kind of forces it out of them. Not saying that these aren't good posts, perhaps even the best kind. But it just doesn't flow as naturally.

And then, rarely, it's the whole "I did this today, I did that today" sorts of posts. There's nothing technically wrong with them, I suppose, but if the writer is truly dedicated to their craft, then surely they have something better to say on occasion?

Is there a psychology behind attraction?

I was discussing a certain young lady with someone today (you both know who you are...?) and it turns out there's actually physiology behind attraction.

Apparently, if you gaze at someone's forehead, you want them to go away or something, if you gaze into the lower half of their face you've thinking on a social level and below that is sexual?

Something like that.

Playing with hair is flirtatious, showing wrists means you feel comfortable around the person? (makes sense...the wrist is one of the most vulnerable areas of the body)

My question to you, I suppose. Is this conscious?

Is it really psychological, or physical? That's the question I'm asking.

And yeah. :P
