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.

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
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.
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.
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.
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.

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 :).

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.
I will try it again later, the link that is.
thanks
