flamingswordSix of us saw Twilight on Sunday night. It wasn't as bad as I'd hoped it would be. :( The characterization is still hilariously bad, but apparently the screenwriter edited some of the antifeminist attitudes out. That's probably a good thing, and this may be one of those rare times when the movie is better than the book. GLITTERY MONSTERS! How can that level of epic fail not be entertaining? 4SRS.
In the quest for self-knowledge, I have figured out that I have thoughts about things other people have feelings and beliefs about. Feelings for most people are very definite, almost binary. They must rarely take three or four feelings and experience them all together. In fact it's so rare that they have words like 'ambivalent' just to express that they feel more than one way, because apparently that's abnormal. Which I just figured out. :\
Tell me of your feelings, flist. How many do you generally have on x subject? In t amount of time will your feelings change by y amount? Let's graph this out so that I can get a handle on it. Screw XKCD, I will use math to figure this out.

Date: 2009-03-04 04:21 pm (UTC)i'll offer a few explanations:
1. not being satisfied with the original feeling i was receiving. the original feeling was not useful nor did not adequately describe what i thought should be there. so, i went looking for deeper meaning. and when you look for things, my experience is you find them. :)
2. i'm currently learning about NLP. NLP offers a framework for understanding relationships with our emotions. there are technique in NLP for associating an experience with particular emotional states. some people are using these techniques at an unconscious level. essentially we can train ourselves to experience [a] particular emotion(s) with regard to a certain type of experience.
3. reinterpretation of the feeling(s). our conscious mind must interpret what a feeling actually is. i'm convinced that two people can interpret the same feeling as different things. so perhaps before a speech i may notice a bunch of energy and be jittery. at one time in my life i have interpreted this as a feeling of being nervous, while now it is a feeling anticipation and excitement.
