Shame since she's Swedish, so once this semester is over, she'll be going back home.
Bah! Logic! Why must you always hold me back.
That's no reason not to go for it, bro. The way I see it you have four potential outcomes. 1) You hit it off and really enjoy yourselves until she leaves. 2) You -really- hit it off so well that you start dating long distance even when she's gone. (it CAN work) 3) You don't really hit it off, but no harm, no foul because she's leaving soon anyway. 4) You don't try at all and then now and then for the rest of your days you'll think to yourself "man I wonder if I could have gotten that hot Swedish girl?"
I'd agree with Scnew, except that would be hypocrisy on my part because my personal approach would totally be to quietly stalk the object of my affections until I find them hanging out with someone else, whereby I become insanely jealous for no reason, miserable for a few hours, and then completely forget about them the second I see someone more attractive. It's a cycle.
My brain just creates crazy and abstract images and ideas that bounce around in my head all day. It runs, but it doesn't do anything useful.
Time for you to start studying biochemistry. Visualizing stuff is one of the most important things to be able to do when you're in a science where everything is much too small to actually see.

Wait. What about the flailing girl? Is she just chopped liver now?
Mmm....liver....
Actually, I can't stand liver.
No. She's not even a whole liver yet, if that metaphor even works. But this is more like, I(and I think I speak for everyone) just want you to know nobody else but you considers you undesirable or unworthy of romance. You're a beautiful, funny, intelligent, homicidal, crazy woman who's geeky in the nicest and proudest way. We all think so, I'm sure your family thinks so, your teachers most likely do, and if your classmates don't...well you can always kill them later.
P.S: Since you'll get this joke, alternatively, I could've just said OH MY GAWD THAT LIVER FEELS SO GURD AROUND MAH DICK GURL.

Thanks a lot for that, Fawful. Nobody (outside my parents, but I pay them to say that) has really told me that before. The first one, I mean.
Well... the second one, too. What I want to know is: WHAT IS THE LIVER DOING THERE?!
Oh come on. Pants has to have said praise about you a few times (I'm sure I've seen him do so), and I'd be surprised if Dashing never has...well...okay maybe not. And your teachers show it by giving you good grades and possibly approaching you in ways that can only be called harassment. I think I've seen Icedhope and Guru do so, but I forget.
Oh, and the liver's changed places. Now it's...snort giggle...all over MAH BUTTCHEEKS!
Yes, but I have a really short memory. Like...really short. Like, as-small-as-half-a-piece-of-bean short.
When I said nobody complimented me, I meant in the last twenty minutes.
MANIACAL LAUGH
And, I'll confess, I'm feeling the finals self-deprecation at the moment due to all these...finals. Horrible things. Should I ever make it to being a professor, I shall ensure that my students suffer JUST as much as I did. Maybe extra if I'm feeling extra vengeful or if any of the students look like James Potter.
Also, it's a bad sign when internal organs start moving. Either that, or a sign of extreme shapeshifting.
You're missing my entire point. I'm arguing that the Universe is worthless because it's not responsible for anything within itself. It's just a place. A boring, worthless void. It's not responsible for the Earth, or for anything else that resides within. You're honestly making an argument that isn't there, and it seems rather desperate an attempt to prove me wrong.

This is the hottest thing any woman has ever said to me. Oh mah gawd, this post feels so gurd around mah dick, gur- (is shot). How are you doing on finals, though?

Dying. Dying very dead. The two hardest ones are on Monday (half an hour from each other)...and then I have to wait around until Friday to take the last, comparatively easy one. It's still hard, but it's easier to study for.

I still remember the closing days of my cumulative examination. 2 questions, 6 hours to finish.
That's almost like one of my midterms. Four questions, two hours to finish. And one of the questions was worth 88 points. Damn that was stressful.
For these, I've got a two hour one that's only the last third of the course and a three hour one that's everything that I could possibly know about the brain. I just hope there's a question about long-term potentiation, taste, eyesight, hearing, action potentials, or how a reflex works. Because I think I might actually be able to answer those questions.
Thanks for the support. Now, does anyone want to listen as I explain everything I know about either the nervous system or protein transport?
*crickets chirp*
Well, I'll leave this awesome video here instead. Clathrin, the molecule depicted within, is one of those things that reminds me why I chose biochemistry. It's just so...beautiful and intricate. And it shows that even at the subcellular level, there are beautiful things in nature.
I guess I'll stick to the nervous system because it's easier to explain without going into complex biochemistry. Any particular thing brain related that you always wanted to know? Generally (since I don't know a lot of specifics)?

Just for the sake of flirting, how does the brain relate to love, sex, and attraction. Also, is it possible the brain can change or adapt to overcome the uncanny valley problem? How does the brain relate to how people envision each other (ie, good, bad, pretty, ugly, smart, stupid). How does it register these ideas. What are the most mysterious parts of the brain.

You choose difficult questions. And I don't even know if anybody knows the answer to them. But I can say that memory is very key in how we perceive things. You see there are several types of memory. Declarative memory is what we usually think of as memory: names, dates, specific details. But you've probably heard of muscle memory, where even if you don't particularly remember the occasion when you were first able to balance on a bicycle, you still find yourself able to do it. There's also procedural memory, which applies to skills and habits that you can do almost unconsciously.
But it doesn't stop there. Because we also have emotional memory, which is much stronger than any of the others. Like, you might not remember much from the year 2001, but you probably remember every detail of where you were on September 11. It also features in relating various sensory inputs to specific memories, which I think might feature into attraction. Like you have a good memory of one person or occasion where certain things were present, you would have a good response should those factors match up again. And the thing about emotional memory is that it's more or less unconscious unless you really think about it, so it can influence your actions without you really knowing. This all happens in the amygdala, which recieves the inputs from your thalamus and cortex (cortex is where memories are stored) and out to the sensory systems.
I think that this is probably has a lot to do with attraction...though it's obviously below hormones and stuff like that. I mean, there's some things that humans are programmed to like, like sugar, symmetry, and pleasure, so that probably factors in as well. And the brain is just pretty mysterious in general, but I'd say that the portions dealing with memory are probably the hardest to understand. Because it's difficult to see how even billions of synapses can accurately bring to mind a perfect picture of a flower? Nobody knows. Though I'd guess it has something to do with the patterns that the synapses make
Dealing with the uncanny valley probably has most to do with the fact that human beings use 'iconic' representations against which they compare all other examples. Theoretically.
So I just did a seven hour game marathon. Huh. Didn't feel like seven hours, ;cause I was talking the whole time. And we didn't even finish our scenario.
Why do all the cool and interesting people have to live a plane's ride away?
Did you try Control-Alt-Delete? That tends to help when my mouse stops working.
nah, unfortunately that shuts down my computer. I can't figure out why my mouse wouldn't work when it's not plugged in. It's obviously a design flaw that I should complain about

Seems to me the benefits outweigh the risks!

You're an evil evil woman. I think I'm in love.

I didn't say the planet was uninteresting.

I was replying to both you and Dashing, and he's the one who added that little part in.

I don't think I'm in danger of not passing. Just of not passing well enough to look good to the grad schools I'm applying to.
I know the perfect type of sex for you. It's called S&M.

Yes. And DAISHI does too.
