so . . . this is interesting. at least to me.
i tried a spray of shine on my forearm for the first time last night at about 1am, and went from nodding off to quite awake. i was in a very bad mood right before i took the shine, so i made a point of sniffing my spray fairly often over the next couple hours.
finally crashed at about 6am (after actually being productive for a couple hours) and when i got out of bed about 4 hours later, there was a sort of acidic coppery taste to my saliva. still there now. also an almost seasickness reaction if i scroll the screen too fast (and i almost never get nauseous).
now, i know i’ve seen comments somewhere in this forum where people are like “does food taste different to you now?”, and i’m certainly noticing that, but when i’ve eaten/drank today, there’s also a bit of a tingly buzz.
very similar to what people describe on the bodybuilding forums if they take the right dose of PEA (a substance which is somehow tied to happy feelings, like after chocolate). there’s actually also some post-buzz focus that’s pretty much in line with those descriptions. and, for that matter, pretty much in line with the productivity that i had before crashing, which came after a fairly giggletacular bit of the wtf’s.
so suffice it to say, i’ve been in a good mood today, and fairly productive, and the world was quite nice for a couple minutes after dinner. (soup is good food!)
but i have to wonder . . . is my body reacting to the shine by producing its own pheromones, which are going into my saliva? and then my tummy? and then my . . . mmm, brainz? and then back into my saliva?
needless to say, i’m gonna hold off on any more 'mone experimentation 'til the weekend, and try to get to sleep early tonight but . . . whoa. i’m afraid to chew gum.
anybody else notice little spikes of buzz if you eat/drink after 'mones?
anybody got a theory?
