It's certainly a plausible explanation for some of the drama on Livejournal.

Man, and I thought Oxytocin was merely responsible for my being an empty, loveless hooooor. Now it's responsible for the joy I feel when I see that the girls who picked on me in middle school still have perms (thanks, facebook!). Thanks, oxytocin!

Oh it's just a hamster, you say. Didn't you see its sharp pointy teeth!? When it smiled at you with all that schadenfreude?

@badmutha: I was wondering too how they identified schadenfreude in hamsters. Maybe they ran a little faster in their wheel when another hamster had its alfalfa stolen? Maybe they gleefully knocked their little hamster-ball against someone's shins?

That explains the aggressive ass kickery of the University of Tennessee Lady Volunteers... they must be super jealous of all of the other teams that they play. Before each game, head coach Pat Summitt shows them computer rendered images of the other team holding hands with their boyfriends and driving really nice cars and getting highly positive write ups in Sports Illustrated.

All my oxytocin must be going to the schadenfreude center of my brain.

@NotChoinski: Oxytocin not oxycontin. Oxytocin is a hormone. Some abstinence only proponents claim that having sex before marriage screws you up because it messes with your oxytocin levels.

@Lymed: Oxytocin certainly does bond people "inappropriately" sometimes . . . I support premarital everything, but sleeping with someone you know you don't like or would normally deplore is emotionally risky for this reason. The hormone can cause a person to feel attached to someone more than they may want to be. If the dabbler is aware of oxytocin's effects, it can help stave off too much relevance being attached to unexpected or unwanted post-coital feelings.

God, I hate this shit. One of my friends from Sydney moved to New York and her crazy 50 year old professor from college who had a sudden obsession tracked down her new cell number, her work number, her address in the US and bombarded her with calls and presents. She changed all her numbers and within a few months he had ALL her new numbers and addresses. We don't even know how he did it, but I'm guessing it was the Internet.

@frankie22: The internet isn't magic. He probably managed to find it through the college, scools are notoriously lax about personal information among professors.

I can't imagine who would be keeping tabs on me, or why. Seriously, I'm such a non-entity in this world that I might as well be a mote of dust.

That said, my Wordpress stats assure me that several people Google my real name every single day. It is not an even remotely common name.

What do they want? WHOOOOOOO AAAAAAAAAARE THEEEEEEEEEY?

@eidolem: I get those people too. I just assume it's my mother, accidentally closing the tab and having to search me out all over again.

But then again my own boring life is an open book. Stalkers have no fun with me because I post almost everything online anyway.

I work everyday with (actual) private investigators, and I'm constantly creeped out by some of the "toys" PIs have, especially the latest one we featured - a reverse peephole device that lets you look IN peepholes.

From the site:

The Original CheckMate semen detection test kit will quickly and easily monitor your cheating spouse's sexual activity outside of the relationship by detecting traces of dried semen that is left in their undergarments after sex. If you need to know what's really going on in your relationship and you need to know now, try the CheckMate semen detection test kit. Now you can quickly, easily, and accurately detect and identify suspected semen and or "sperm" stains in undergarments in 5 minutes or less with the revolutionary CheckMate semen detection test kit.

Crazy.

I also want to know that if we can invent all this shit, why has no one tried to market the shooting bras that the Fembots had in Austin Powers?
Not that I would USE it..but I would just feel better knowing its out there.
