I'm wrecked.

I can't think a straight line...completely like ephidrine or speed, I feel like I'm floating around. Tingly skull, a happy numbness has set in now, just 30 minutes after ingestion.

Yep....I went to the pharmacy.

I'm not one for meds; I rarely get sick and when I do, I try to fight it out with chicken soup and juice. However, after a particularly stressful period, I found myself with a nasty cold - one that decided to move in for the long term.

So, I went to the doctor and got a perscription for those 5-pill satchels of joy. Took one pouch last night and fell asleep, so I only dreamt in technicolor. My morning dose has left me incapable of doing much except smiling.

I have 4 classes in front of me, a lunchtime dose in an hour, and then the drive home.

Man...not sure how that's going to work out. Got to come down first.

Name of product please.

Man, becareful driving while taking those. You may end up having a dream like this:

"One day I was driving down the highway feeling pretty good. Suddenly, I was on a bus with a bomb on it. We were driving fast down the highway trying to stay above 55 mph because the bomb would go off...

Oh damn..that's the movie speed, not the drug."

Name the drug?

Ok...

1. The big orange: DW-3
2. Medium white: S:L/a-c
3. 2 identical small whites: 518
4. Smallest white: currently illegible

Well, I'm following the doctor's orders here...just downed my lunchtime packet. Couldn't eat much lunch though...my hands are shaking...look like a chronic in front of the kids...

See you on the other side, folks...

I've never herad of cold medication that makes you feel that good. Pretty weird.

Anyway, if you find some codeine or vicadin or something, be sure to let me know.

Yes, this is why GIs aren't allowed to enter Korean pharmacies. Apparently if you go in one with a cold, you come out a raging drug fiend, unable to function past selling off government secrets and equipment to finance your next fix. Later down the line you wind up bringing horrible STDs home to your family, which they suffer from until you kill them in a moment of whacked out madness, and you wind up living in a cardboard box in an alley somewhere, emerging only to stalk little old white ladies for muggery, and than drag them into dark corners for henious rapes, right up until the day you collapse in the middle of an Christmas parade and spend the last 10 years of your life draining the public of tax dollars as you breathe away as a vegetable on life support.

Pretty much the same thing the used to say about weed I hear.

Anyway, aside from all that, let me caution you to forcibly restrain yourself in the high times after taking the drug. (I'm assuming there are some lovely amphetamines lite in that cocktail. You feel good, but your body is still quite sick. Don't push yourself any further than you absolutely must, even though you feel up to it. Uppers put stress on your system by themselves without you even going to class. When you aren't at work you need to be at home in a more or less prone position, or you run the risk of getting worse and/or proloinging your illness.

Get well soon bud.

Mind if I use that last sentence for a sig?

[gang ah jee]

Go for it.

The kids can smell the blood too...they are acting weirder than normal. They sense the madness...

Well, not so much anymore. Coming down is just. no. fun. Man...the shakes are still with me and seem to be worsening as my body filters the last of the big orange. I'm sure that's the one....it had a picture of Homer Simpson on it.



This my third time taking medicine on Korea in over ten years...I need to do it now and again for a couple of reasons. First, to feel totally different for a few days, and second, to remind my self that Koreans go to the pharmacy for colds quite a bit. This may explain the behavior of some folks here...jacked up on who knows what, driving like madmen...mercy!

Gives all new meaning to Korea being the most wired country in the world...

[Boodleheimer]

is it over the counter?

A downer with uppity moments. The shakes are only present when you try too hard to control it, like when you feel wrecked in front of the entire student body and school staff. I did drink a bit of coffee as well.

A very hypnotic kind of thing; one could look at the wall for a long time and feel just....busy. Yeah...I can't wait to go to bed. Overall, a feeling of the 8th hour of a mushroom binge with alcohol on the side.

So.. do you need to actually have symptoms to get that pill packet, or can you just go in and say it's for your girlfriend who is too sick to come in?

Nah, I'm just being serious..
