Scientists say that the brain chemistry of infatuation is akin to mental illness

so, this is actually the first Valentine's Day since i was 20 that i have not been with anybody. which is actually quite odd.

my mom pointed me toward this National Geographic article on love (unfortunately, the entire article is not online). i sat down in the self-help aisle at Barnes and Noble yesterday to read it in its entirety. (as an aside here, only in a Barnes and Noble in New York is it difficult to find carpet space to sit and read an article. good god!)

so, if you're single and alone this Valentine's Day, it really only means one thing: that you're not crazy.
