Not a problem at all Idle. ![]()
Okay, so it is my expected duty to the Lords of Pheromones for their gifts and blessings. ![]()
So along with my recent order came a big blue bottle of Instant Shine 4X ‘Extendo’ v.2.1 A big ‘HUH?’
was on my face. What is this? I’ve had experience with Instant Shine 2X before and experience with Instant Honesty 4X, so IS 4X should be something to be careful with.
I don’t know if there are other IS v2.1s, I didn’t see any search results.
So my initial impressions of IS2.1 are that it’s not nearly as..sharp or bright as I might have expected it to. IS 2X nearly burns me out on first application. Rather, that, usually it can be a little overwhelming and requires a little dry down time or separate applications. I’ve put on two sprays of IS2.1 (4X x 2) and it didn’t feel that way at all. In fact, one spray of IS2.1 was ‘mellower’ than one spray of IS. It doesn’t bite upon application like original IS.
Due to this, and I’ll admit it, the name ‘extendo’ kinda gave me ideas too, that although IS2.1 is 4X strength, it’s a slow, time release composite, making it mellower in the process, but also longer lasting.
My first hit with IS2.1 isn’t one that I’d consider a huge hit or anything. She was an employee, she could just as easily have been trying to help me out. That being said, I like to shop undisturbed and usually the employees pick up on that and stay distant. Well, the shop was empty, I walk in and am greeted by a cute Persian girl, just us two. She gives me the mandatory introductions and greetings, sales pitches, then leaves me alone for a bit.
I begin to look around, after a minute she tries to suggest some more shirts. I kinda just shrug off the suggestions and instead ask her if these shirts are cool to just toss in the wash. She walks up to check a tag for me. As she’s checking it, she’s reading it aloud to me, I walk up next to her and look at the tag. Now, I’m not really interested in the tag, I just wanted to talk about something else than what the hot shirts are right now. Anyways, upon walking up to her, I realize I’m a lot taller than her and it’s a really perfect opportunity for some guy to look down her shirt. Realizing this, I focus on the shirt tag like lasers. She looks up from the tag, sees me looking at the tag and not down her shirt and goes back to talking about the wash cycle.
I continue looking around, she’s still telling me how this jacket’s nice, shirts are on sale, etc…I again sorta just go yea, cool, thanks. I’ll check it out. She walks away kinda, I ask her, don’t you guys get annoyed listening to this club music all day long? I’d get pretty tired if I had to hear this music in the clubs at night then the next day at work. She smiles and we talk about about how she’s Persian so she doesn’t hear American club music as much, thus it not being so annoying. We’re both 20, so we talk about how shitty America is for having a drinking age of 21, how awkward 18+ clubs are, how our parents don’t want us to marry outside of our ethnicities. Anyways, it wasn’t a short conversation, though it wasn’t novel either.
By this time, another customer walks in, I’m not talking to her, so she goes and helps out the other guy. I’m still just checking out their clothes. In comes another employee, an older Persian woman with huge breast implants, incredibly fake. It just looked like someone sewed on uneven water balloons to her chest. Anyways, she’s defintely much more…experienced and is on her sales game. She’s not distracted by any small talk or such. Takes me around the shop, showing me jeans and whatnot. She’s definitely just trying to make a sale.
Okay, hit two.
Went to a party, pretty much all Asians. I was wearing 1 drop of A314, 1 spray of IS2.1, I get to the party and things are usual. I didn’t actually notice much A314 in the mix, if it was, it was definitely more in the background, or overlooked. The usually good reactions from my friends, I’m usually enthusiastically greeted and it was the same with this mix on. Girls are giving me close hugs, the ones that hug me tight hug me tighter. I saw a lot of random people I hadn’t seen in a while.
An actually, this hit isn’t one that I attribute to pheromones, though pheromones definietly do come into the picture later on. Here’s how it broke down. My friend and I are standing around, looking at the ladies and talking about who to go approach. He picks out a girl who’s surrounded by 3-4 guys all trying to run game on her. My friend isn’t up to the challenge, so we go outside to warm up. That’s no good either, so when we come back inside I tell him, look we’re coming up with a way for you to approach her in 30 seconds or we’re leaving. He agrees so I look at the situation and try and find a way in. The target and her friends are in their own group now, but close to a guy and girl that I’m acquaintances with. I figured I’ll go over to say what’s up to the guy and girl and find a way into the target’s conversation.
Naturally, they saw us coming a mile away. As soon as my friend and I begin to walk towards them (we weren’t even planning on talking to them originally) they started moving away, but in our direction. At this point I’m thinking, shit, they’re moving I gotta come up with something quick. Literally, as I’m thinking this, an opening presents itself. The target kinda spills her drink a bit on her friend. I point it out and kinda give her a hard time saying “Dude, you’re gonna spill a drink on your friend? That’s messed up!” She looks up and say, “Hell naw, you ran into us!” And they begin walking away. Before they fully walk away, I say “Oh, you’re gonna blame me and just walk away like that?” I don’t think they ever responded, but I wasn’t really expecting one.
I turn say bye to the acquaintances that were right there and everyone else at the party and go to my friend’s house down the block. We get there and it’s a small after party so to speak. It’s all just homies that I haven’t seen in forever so I sit and smoke a lot. During the session, the target shows up the my friend’s place. Hmm…looks like we’ve got some friends in common. She ends up talking to a friend right behind me, so I look up (I’m in a chair), tap her on the elbow and say “Excuse me, but if that spill really was my fault, I apologize.” Before I even really have a chance to finish, she goes “NOO, it wasn’t your fault…what’s your name?” When she was saying it wasn’t my fault, her arm came down and draped across my throat and shoulder. Kinda as if she was going to put me in a head lock.
We meet, and I don’t know what happens but I think the session called my name and she left to go talk to someone else. After the blunt is finally done, I’m getting ready to leave (very unfortunately) and make my rounds saying peace. On the way out is Christina (the girl) and my friend, I say peace to my homie and say “nice to meet you” to Christina. She says, we didn’t meet. I say, “Yes we did Christina.”, as I’m leaving. She grabs my arm and pulls me back. “Wait, what was your name again?” “Jong.” “John? I don’t like Johns.” “Huh? No. JONG. Not John.” “Ohhh…” After which she actually grabs my throat with her hand, as if she were trying (again) to choke me, but not applying too much pressure. I go, “Woah, you keep that up miss and you’re gonna get into some trouble”, kinda getting in her face. “But I gotta go, I’ll be seeing you around.” She replies, “I hope so.” “Oh, you will.” and I leave.
I’ve been kicking myself, I should have at least secured her number there and then, but whatever, no point in crying over spilt milk.
Whew..okay, hit three.
Two sprays of IS2.1 and One spray of IH4X.
Went to eat dinner with some friends. Hilarious conversations, just straight up comedy. We sat in my car for about…4-5 hours smoking blunts and cracking jokes. We tried to make plans to go somewhere, that didn’t happen, so we just ended up smoking more. Ended up missing a bday party which I was also pissed about, but like the number..what can I do? Get a better phone. Anyways, there really isn’t much to say, other than I believe this version is significantly different than IS regular or IS 2X. I also believe that from what I’ve read, there is a good amount of TAC in IS2.1? I don’t know if TAC was already a large component in IS or not, but that’s what I’ve got at the moment.
I’m wearing two sprays of IS2.1 today too. Met a fellow apartment resident, though I’m sure that could have happened without pheromones. Though, one thing that I might not have done ordinarily was walk up to my neighbor’s door to tell him that his laundry was done and that he probably wouldn’t want to get wrinkles (which was just my way of saying, get your laundry out of the machine so I can do mine.)
Wow, that was a lot more than I thought. I wanted to build up a couple experience first and put in into one post, but..this might have been overkill.
