Bio
I'm your Hillbilly Aunt. I was Born, raised, and I'm now residing in Arkansas. I have a MFA in Creative Writing, for what that's worth. I'm child-free, dog-mothering, liberal, over-read and over educated, sometimes snarky, sometimes sweet, sometimes pathetic. I use this space for all sorts of random things, but eventually it all comes back to Arkansas.

Trippy! The ZoomQuilt

Rate: 10 Flag

I just stumpled across this website:  http://zoomquilt2.madmindworx.com/zoomquilt2.swf

And I can't help but share it with the masses, really. It's one of the coolest things I've seen on the web in a long time.  

I also think that if you ever have a teenage kid ask you what it's like to take hallucogenic drugs, this website would explain everything without any messy conversation or possible personal embarrassment.  

But that's just my opinion, of course. I wouldn't know from experience, or anything.

holy sheet! I need to go email that to my family.
Aaaahhhh!!!!!!Flashbacks!
Woooooo. That was like a rollercoaster!
I knew there was a damn fine reason I've never done LSD. Those things always make me sick. Oof, I don't feel so good now. If it had been dull and uninteresting, I'd have turned it off and would feel fine now but you always just want to see the next thing...
It's pretty cool, isn't it? Your Norwegian Uncle found it yesterday via facebook and passed it on. I thought ya'll would appreciate it :D.
Oh my! Think your description nailed it - that was quite a trip! Enjoyed it!
katina choovanski sez:." I knew there was a damn fine reason I've never done LSD. Those things always make me sick..."

Am I the only one who sees a contradiction in these two sentences? Or were they meant to be humor, and I'm too dull to realize?

See number three in my "25 things" post, 24 ½ Just Won't Do
Wayne,

I'm not sure what Katina meant by 'those things' to be honest. Maybe she'll come back and explain herself. I'm not at all surprised that you credit LSD with turning you into "a person" as you call it in your post. I hear it can be an extremely emotional and life-changing experience, which doesn't always imply it's a bad thing. Lots of cultures consider it to be integral to spirituality . . .or at least, the tripping part -- not necessarily the LSD part.
Our hostess sez:"Lots of cultures consider it to be integral to spirituality . . .or at least, the tripping part -- not necessarily the LSD part."

Indeed, it's the experience that counts. LSD, peyote, yohimbe, marijuana, et al are just the vehicles. Any of them can transport you to the desired destination. (Of course, a good lay can, too.)

BTW, the Zoomquilt site took a ling time to download on mt lousy 44Kbps dialup, but it was worth the wait.
Aw sonofa.....Just typed a whole explanation and it went poof!

OK, your confusion can be attributed to my poor use of the demonstrative pronoun in "these things" which I intended to refer to websites like that.

Wayne - you're anything but dull. I'm glad you had the experience you did. So few of the good ones are reported.

Shelle - oh man, did my stalker tell you about my Ancestry page? Aw geez.
Katina,

Makes sense to me! No, no I've not heard from any stalker, I swear. I'm just into anthropology and mythology and comparative religion and all kinds of similar stuff and so I just run at the mouth about it regularly, that's all :D.

Shelle
Ah see, I then read your Bio and saw the Norwegian Uncle reference. I thought perhaps you saw a comment I made somewhere else a while back about a facebook experience with a bit of a stalker. And some of my ancestry is Icelandic so that's kinda-sorta close but not really.
Katina,

Oh! Just a happy coincidence. My Husband is from North Dakota, and his family is of Norwegian descent. It's a coincidence that my Mitocondrial DNA is also from groups in extreme northern Europe (Norway and Finland). Our last name is an Americanization of the place where my husband's great-grandfather came from, meaning something like "Big Island" (according to the family record). He had been a fisherman and mail-boat operator in Norway until his boat sank and he was stranded at sea (sometime during the very early 20th century). He came to North Dakota sometime after that, and became a farmer :).

Shelle
wonderfully cool! Never-ending world.
That's incredible. It's amazing the talents some people have (not to mention the imagination). I had to watch it over and over to catch all the things to see.

Never took acid before, but the Lortab I'm on now for spinal stenosis and arthritis of the facet joints do this to me on a small scale occasionally. Fun dreams.
Cool! Made me dizzy (I cranked it up to fast :-).
I am sorry, the link never worked for me, or am I hallucinating????
I will try it again later, the link that is.
this made me dizzy but it was so enjoyable!
completely trippy, eyeball poppin' fun

thanks
