The social psychologist in me is totally facinated by the concept of limerence. I love psychology (and sociology, and social psychology) for taking things we’re all familiar with, and making it science. This is also one of the reasons I love reading danah’s website: Internet community as science! Oh, the tiny atophied academic in me loves it.

Although some may question why I have a BA in Sociology instead of Communications, but only as a sociology major could my years at raves have qualified as “field research.” Ok, ok: maybe in Anthro or American Studies I could have justified it that way too, but probably not.
