Buzzed.

[icarus]

I have a million things I must do, a half a million I've promised to do, and another dozen or so that are unimportant but I'd like to do and would probably do first if I had the mind to do so.

Instead, I am aimlessly dinking around on the internet. Why?

Because I am high.

Alas, it is from a steroid inhaler which (apparently) makes me buzzed for three hours and counting, a small smile plastered to my face, and the attention span of gnat. And bizarre floaty mood swings, let's not forget the floaty mood swings.

"Oh, here's an article on Bush... oh this is bad, bad..." *goes into vague annoyance-like anger*

"Hmm, a post about turning a story into 128 pt. font, how cute..." *inane moment of disproportionate lingering glee*

"Oh dear, such and so hasn't emailed me..." *vague, fugue-like depression*

Why do people get high deliberately? I feel unproductive.

I'm better at math when I'm high, but I mean high as in on amps, as opposed to, like, painkillers or pot. Not that I've done that in years, because I am a good boy. *handwavy* Anyway, yeah, being high is usually not so productive, unless you are at least somewhat ADD and take uppers.

(Ahaha my Alice icon is ironically appropriate!)

I now know why the football champ with asthma always seemed a buzzy and out of it. Yeah, wow, great way to spend precious minutes. *flies*

This solves the question of why people take the drug worst for them. If I had a choice, despite the fact that, yes, hyper is my middle name, I would pick the drug that made me learn 10 impossible things before breakfast and not this floaty buzzy stuff.

I'm looking at this thing wondering if there's an inhaler that's more like an upper, and less like, hmmm, I'm sniffing glue.

I'm like that without drugs. being sick sucks ass. :( being high generally just makes me not care about being unproductive.

~SNL~

That's the strange part, n'est pas? The fact that I know I should care about being unproductive and yet, I do not. I just know that hmm... I'm supposed to being accomplishing actual work right now. It's on the schedule.

It took me two hours to notice that there were more side effects to this inhaler besides feeling dizzy.

What does SNL stand for?

Ahhhh. Well, welcome Savannah. :)

[amalthia]

you just described my weekend, except about the part about getting high..

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I have some puffs on this inhaler available if you want the full experience.

Won't work for everyone (I only get five minutes of buzz off my asthma inhaler, and it's no worse than a couple shots of espresso. When I was doing worse I could use it a couple times a day without noticing anything.)

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Heh. I always have exaggerated reactions to medications. I was buzz off of one puff for three hours.

I bet you drink less caffeine than me, too ;)

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Oh, hot chocolate is about as caffeinated as I get. *g*

So glad we could provide you with an inane moment of disproportionate lingering glee. Joshie says he hopes you come down to earth soon. I agree. *hugs*

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

*waves to Joshie* You guys are adorable. I wish I could do my homework in 128 pt. I'd get five pages in no time. *g*

Easy -- a really creative one-sentence story, in 128 pt font, ought to get you through a five-page assignment in no time. :-D

Dude, you're describing about how I am normally.

I can kind of understand getting high deliberately, though, because I'm a funny drunk--in that, even if I'm only a little buzzed, everything is funny liek whoa. And an appropriate occasion for singing. But alcohol is the only drug I'm not too scared to try, with the possible exception of LSD--I'd do that once, just to see what happens. (It can't be too much worse than my usual roster of dreams, right?)

WG says that taking mushrooms in the forest is the best, but you have to be in the right mental place or else it's not much fun.

I'm just... overly talkative when I'm drunk. Which, since I'm overly talkative when I'm not drunk, doesn't make for much of a change (except, apparently, I'm a little more giggly and child-like).
