I almost became a theoretical physicist, so i kinda like it!
I still have a lot of catcing up to do, as i only follow it recreationally - but wow! String Theory just amazes me! I was hooked on physics (heh - sounds like a commercial... "hooked on physics works for me!") when i took it in HS (always loved and was good at science) and i found out that a bullet shot and a bullet dropped for the same height at the same time on a flat surface with no air resistance will hit the ground simultaneously. From that I loved everything about physics - the mother of all sciences.
Yeah... I'm a big geek!
