547 Reasons Not to Study Psychology

For the last month or so, I have been researching for a presentation on paraphilias that a partner and I are doing for Abnormal Psychology. Today, my focus was almost solely on pedophilia, an extremely disturbing topic at best. Of the eight DSM-recognized paraphilias, pedophilia has had by far the most research done. After devouring several books on the subject, I turned to the internet to look for websites for support groups for each of the paraphilias. While I was searching, I found several allusions to an APA list of 547 established paraphilias. I looked all over the APA website, but couldn't find the list, which would have been extremely useful to the project, so I wrote to the APA, asking whether or not the list exists, and if so, could I somehow obtain a copy. I'll post their response if I ever get it. Hopefully they respond quickly; this project is due on November 19th.


And now, because I don't want to think about pedophiles anymore, here is a completely unrelated list.

Teach Your Children...Well?

My humanities professor often diverts from the discussion topic to go on a tangent, usually involving Youtube. I can't help but mention this because, due to the fact that it's a marriage and the family class, we have to talk about reproduction. So, he brings up the subject of toys used to nurture female children, and to teach them the motherhood role. There are some disgusting toys out there, but these certainly top the list. The first two were discussed in class; the rest, I ventured out into the world wide webiverse to bring to you lovely people.


Top 5 Creepiest Children's Toys
1. Baby Pee Pee


2. Baby Glutton: a doll that teaches young girls to breastfeed


3. Baby Wee Wee


4. Baby Alive: this doll defecates!

Super Leet Pro Garfield of Win

Today, I dressed up as Garfield and terrified small children; apparently dressing up as a large cat really scares the wits out of kids. It was family reading night at my younger sisters' school, and the teachers asked me to dress up to entertain the kids. Some of them gave me a hug or two, but most crept away, or even openly burst into tears. Suffice it to say, it didn't feel like a very successful evening.

A small list.

Body Modifications

Lately, I've been getting into body modification. I think it's fascinating what lengths people will go to in order to be considered unique. As for myself, I have seven piercings, most of them in my ears. I have some other plans for my body, however, which leads me to the next list.
