A lot like love

"When infatuated we experience a surge of dopamine that rushes through the brain causing us to feel good. Norepinephrine flows through the brain stimulating production of adrenaline (pounding heart). Phenylethalimine (found in chocolate) creates a feeling of bliss. Irrational romantic sentiments may be caused by oxytocin, a primary sexual arousal hormone that signals orgasm and feelings of emotional attachment. Together these chemicals sometimes override the brain activity that governs logic.

The body can build up tolerances to these chemicals so it takes more of the substance to get that special feeling of infatuation. People who jump from relationship to relationship may be craving the intoxicating effects of these substances and may be “infatuation junkies”.

When the chemical flood dries up, the relationship either moves into a loving romantic one or there is disillusionment, and the relationship ends."

...so that explains why I like having a crush so much...I'm an "Infactuation junkie" :D

Well, don't be proud that you are an "Infatuation Junkie!".
Infatuation means 'thoughtless' passion.

Over-riding logic for anything is suicidal. Why have the brain then?

Next time, you want crushes, don't go around looking for one, eat chocolates or _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _!

For the word, ask me directly... would be rude of me to put it up here... you would kill me.

#Mr.commonsensical, "Over-riding logic for anything is suicidal. Why have the brain then?"
I personally think its good to just get away from reality for a while. Sometimes its as important to be impractical as it is to be practial; to be in touch with the spark of insanity within you.
And as for the word, dude, i got it alright :P...good thinking not to put it in here, I would've killed you alright :D
#rockus,

Well for one, i USED to be a INFATUATION JUNKIE as u wd call it. I used to feel sort of all these feelings you mention @ almost EVERY gal i used to see ( i said ALMOST, not dnt sneer like that). But then when you get hit by reality that all you IMAGINED was for nothing, you tend to get back to your senses, the over ride ends there.

If you have seen Ali in Dhoom 1 and Dhoom 2, you would understand what all i EXPLAINED above!
