• An Interesting Night on a Second Spring Break

It's nearly 5AM.. two hours before the sun hopefully rises again. [B]8 hours ago[/B], I found out my classes had been canceled for tomorrow (today,) the 24th. This would have been my first day back from Spring Break, but no such luck. Worst of all, I didn't have to work either, and as a result of having no upcoming school or job responsibilities, [B]7 1/2 hours ago[/B] I had already slurped up my 4th rum and coke with a nice girl I know. Lost track of time for a while.. we took a short walk in the snow: smoked a Peach Prime Time or Two, tracked a dog or wolf's footprints, then saw a headless & fat dead bird, a homeless man sifting through a dumpster with a lawn chair nearby, and a black fox, all within a few blocks of home. And I had no idea I was living in such a diverse neighborhood. We got back some [B]4 hours ago[/B]. Poured then drank five cups of coffee between us (divided evenly, with her making 1 cup for herself and an eventual 4 for me) and smoked a spliff, to perk ourselves up a bit. We conversed (less-and-less-slurrily) for a short while but, for whatever reason, the coffee hit me harder than it hit her, and so she's been asleep for hours. Not long after she slow-danced her way to the now-dark bedroom, I smoked two bowls, figuring they'd offset the coffees and maybe make me feel a little bit less sick from all the cola I drank down earlier. The rum was doing OK but, goddamn- that cola makes my teeth hurt. The dope came on surprisingly faster than I expected it would, especially having smoked it as delicately and deliberately as I did and always do- With the same pace one might take on to put out a kitchen grease fire or jerk to catch a falling child. With patience, and speed.. the utmost speed. And so, with the horrid & rapid rush of THC-induced thought processes flooding into my consciousness, I concluded that I would never get to sleep unless something was done. Too many thoughts, still jittery, a little cold in here, where's that rum?, were we tracking a fox and not a wolf?, hope that homeless guy didn't forget his chair, wonder where the head is, etc, etc.. until I'd really like to simply fall asleep at this point. And I know I have something that'll make me drowsy enough to nod off, don't I? Some holistic sleep remedy from my chiropractor- or acupuncturist, maybe. Oh right, here it is! My Diphenhydramine root. From the Walgreens natural healing center down the street. I concentrate hard to remember back, and I seem to recall the local shaman once warning me that too much of this root results in a sort of mental.. [i]trip[/i].. I think he called it. That sounds frightening, I thought to myself. Better make sure that never happens. I made a pointed, yet lengthy, mental note to myself to be careful with the small, pink, pill-shaped roots and not take more than directed.. but the note backfired and went to waste. In all of my concentrating to recall the wise shaman's warning and to carefully garnish the sidebars or my mental-note-to-self stationery with intricate geometric designs, I had, without noticing, swallowed some ten or so pills. This was nearly an hour ago, I believe. This is my most recent entry. I'm becoming increasingly concerned that I can't stop sensing the constant presence of some thing just outside of my peripheral. And it seems to be judging me for all of the typos I'm making, which I'm only making because arms are so goddamn heavy all of a sudden. I'm worried that if these things get any heavier I won't be able to fight off the eye-contact-avoiding, humanoid-impersonating gargoyle who's probably down the hall to the bathroom right now. Enjoying it so much solely because it's the darkest and most suspicious part of the apartment. I'm also worried that he may be making his way in to where the lady's sleeping. I didn't want her jumping out and killing/attacking me like she did in Paranormal Activity, so I decided to pull my belt off and wrap it around my fist like they do in the movies, just in case I had to fight her off. However. Upon the realization that I did not have a belt, I reconsidered my anti-poltergeist tactics and decided to let things lay. Keep it calm for now, those typos won't last forever, and that goddamn gargoyle scum knows it. He may wait in the dark, but he may also forgive.. which is more than I can say for a lot of the humanoid-impersonating gargoyles out there who aren't even trying to avoid my eyes. It's just so difficult to type now. Here's hoping the sun will bring better news, and nimbler fingers. And I'd raise my drink here if I didn't think that was just the sort of opportunity my gargoyle's been waiting for.
Sounds kinda different. That root sounds like it might be a mild deliriant, which would explain your paranoia about someone watching you.
Agreed with HiddenMyst and sounds like you had a good night man
Yeah, that Diphenhydramine is just allergy medicine. "Wal-dryl," I think. Pills of 25mg each. When I woke up the day after writing this, I didn't remember going to sleep. In fact, the last thing I can recall is going out to the top level of my apartment building to smoke a cigarette (after writing this thread). I definitely remember going up the stairs with a cigarette and a lighter in my hands, but don't remember coming back down them. My lady woke me up the next morning: every light in the house was on, as well as the TV and both computers, the living room window was wide open, and the couch's pull-out bed was half extended and its pillows had been flayed around the entire house.. with one soaking in the sink and a couple wedging the bathroom door closed.
My Diphenhydramines (Nytol) are 50mg each. If you took 10 of them that's 500mg which is enough for a moderate delerium. Combining weed and caffeine is never a good idea because they both make you anxious. I also hope when you say "coke" you mean coca cola, not cocaine as cocaine + alcohol can be lethal due to a metabolite made by their synergy.
Wait what. :confused:
Was that aimed at me? If so, what confuses you?
