I know a lot of people are going to talk about their experience of fancying the other sex, etc. I would like to say however that for a while now, I've repeatedly reminded my friends that 'gained sentience' when I first watched WALL-E. It made me feel emotions I never had before, I couldn't put words to what a novel experience it was. It's where I firmly demarcate my 'pre-sentient' and 'post-sentient' life. This actually sparked a discussion among my group of friends, some identifying a moment when someone in their life died, other putting it down to a single panic attack. So yeah, something biologically 'coming online' seems legit.
