"Look Johnny at this example of interactionism in Facebook. Do you see that little icon? That means he has read my message and because he knows I've seen him read it, it encourages him to a quick response, otherwise I'll assume he's ignoring me andI'll get angry at him. Interactionism at its finest Johnny boy."
"Oh, look Johnny! Here's another social cause they want me to care about. Well, it's not like they are asking, they are telling me to. And a lot of people will do that simply because they can. The structures created by interactionism makes that possible. You should have lived with me in the golden days before internet Johnny."

Get the interactionism mug.Istefanos is a guy who's very handsome but does not run after girls. He will never cheat on anyone or try to pull any tricks. He sometimes likes to joke but acts different around certain people. He's sometime cute weird but people still like him. Girls secretly like him but never confront and he's very smart and kindhearted to everyone. Just to summarize, he will be a great boyfriend.

Get the interaveane mug.The discovery that although you are able to reproduce the singing or rapping of lines in a song perfectly in your mind, in reality, you do not have any singing talent at all. You may be able to rap every word to Eminem’s famous verse from Rap God or match the vibrato and full sounding voice of Adele in your mind. You may sing along to your favorite songs in the car, not able to hear yourself over the sounds of the real artist, but when put in front of a microphone the results are much different than you expected or you sound much different than you perceive yourself.
I experienced intemalus for the first time today, and am embarrassed for ever having tried to sing at all!
