Hey noodle what did you do today?

Well I woke up at 1:30ish and roused myself awake. I slowly got ready a bit and packed some things and headed to Murray. The skies were looking pretty thicc with clouds and it was really warm (like in the 70s). I called grandma after passing through Hardin, and she said she was at the travel agency and that I should call her back! Eeeee!

That was exciting news, because that meant she was planning on traveling and doing things, which is important for widows! I headed to Taco Bell and grabbed a steak quesadilla meal with a soft taco and a Baja Blast. I also got a party pack of 12 soft tacos, then headed to my frand's house. When I got there Ralph was heading out and his car was having trouble starting, but it was only a coolant issue and he fixed it and headed out, leaving me basically alone.

I ate my food and then called grandma back, and she said that she was planning on heading to Alaska, and that she was gonna ask all my uncles and aunt to go with her. I was super hype to hear that! She also said she was going to dinner with Nancy and that she was at Kretch's, and that Tom was supposed to have arrived that day but he got too drunk with frands (She said they forced him down and poured beer down his throat, lol).

As I finished chatting with her Alex came out of his room, and I chatted with his for a bit. Jesse texted me around 3:30 saying he'd arrive soon, but he was drinking beer at work. He did arrive around 4:30, and I had a bit of a screwdriver but didn't wanna get drunk like I had at New Years. Apparently I was reallllly drunk, and I was a bit shout-y and so it's no wonder I had such little fun!

Ry-G arrived and did weeds, and Wes came over as well. When most people left and Ralph got back from his date (he said ti went well!), Wes and Jesse and I each did a bit of LSD (2 hits this time) and it was at this point the night became amazing.

There were colors and thoughts. It took a while to feel the effects, but yet again the trees outside became like fractals. I laughed so hard at everything. My frands wandered around the yard while I sat on the stoop and just thought. There were many ideas that came to me, and my mind expanded to have many thoughts.

I sat on the edge of the woods and watched the trees, and felt that the universe was nothing but fractal expressions winding their way into ever-more delicate forms. Life, molecules, chemistry, elements...Of course LSD is a drug that is impossible to write about, as our words are more geared to reflect the base-line reality we all share, but the mind under its influence will look upon nature and create new religions. It's a drug that will make its users brazen enough to ask the universe how it works, and bold enough to accept the answers given. Honestly, I could Hunter S. Thompson the shit out of the drug, and perhaps someday I'll create a book with a plot that has acid within it...I have some ideas...

I laughed at so much stupid shit. The driveway became a scaled alligator's back. I became a dragon on the edge of the woods, and my scales were made of light and color and feathers and eyes. I saw my name was something like “eye ¾ opened in bemusement with a mischievous tinsel-like sparkle”. I went into the basement and meditated and the stone gave me a new perspective of the universe...Whereas the woods showed me that everything was moving and light and delicate, the stone showed me that everything was solid and hard.

...And all the while this was happening, Trauma Center ER was on the TV inside. Acid causes time to move at incredibly slow rates, to the point that the night felt as if it lasted days. Eventually Wes and I felt it was time for the game to end so we sat on the couch and willed it so. After, we went back outside and stared at my hand as I raised it aloft. It became clawed at some points, then it became thick at other points. The night's temperature was still super warm and windy. Throughout all this we kept talking about a looming storm, and making jokes about kicking Ralph's car and blaming it on a storm (idk why...Probably because he cleaned it and it looked nice), though of course we didn't.

We went to the edge of the woods then “saw” the stormfront rushing at us, so we ran back to the house...Only to realize that we didn't see what we thought we saw, despite the streetlight across the way being awash in “rain”...Though the perceived rain was actually steam and fog being whipped around by wind that the nearby storage facility shielded us from. However the weather did grow more violent, and by the time we headed back to the woods there were some lightning strikes that were really close.

I headed inside to go bathroom, then went downstairs to go into the basement, where Wes and I went to the darkest spot and tripped, then we went to the living room and relaxed. Wes headed to the Jim Couch and I laid on the floor as we watched GDQ. At around 6:30 my phone went off, pulling me from a possible-sleep(?) and telling me there was a tornado warning in the area. I stayed up and watched the winds whip around outside and buckets of rain fall. At around 7ish the storm sirens went off at the university, and I heard the voice say that a tornado had been spotted in the area, and that shelter should be taken.

The siren went away and gave an all-clear around 7:30ish, then around 9ish a massive lightning strike hit somewhere close; so close that I could actually taste the electricity, which has only happened 2 other times in my life (once in Florida, and once in Colorado). The thunder was so loud Ralph came downstairs and asked if something had exploded.

After that I think I drifted off into an uncomfortable, shallow, short sleep.

I hope everyone has a 2-hits day! <333
