<p>Ah, think I figured it out. If it’s what I think, I went down that wormhole and came back again. I still miss the other side, but not the complexities it brought with it. (If you’re talking about something else, then, as Emily Litella said, “nevermind.”)</p>
<p>It can be that, garland, for some people. For me, it was like revisiting all these major moments in my life – childhood, high school, college selection – but through another filter. I mean, it was the trippiest chem-free experience I’ve ever had. Seriously. And after, I felt so…so free. You know what I mean? Like I didn’t care about the “investment grades watches” thread anymore, or the chance me threads. It all…fell away. And I felt so clean, after. Like I’d stepped into a waterfall and come out the other side.</p>
<p>But not everyone had the same experience. I think annasdad was reliving some major UC/out of state s*** that just wouldn’t let him go. Which is understandable, but really harsh. </p>
<p>Update: I just got a PM from NYMom – she said it was like eating ice cream, but without the ice cream headache. And it just went on and on.</p>
<p>garland – I don’t know what it would be like for you. Maybe getting published in like 3 major publications all at the same time? Or someone reviewing your work and totally getting what you were trying to do? I mean, I think you should try it. If you didn’t get the email, I’ll send you mine. Really. It says it’s good for one more boost. PM me your email address and I’ll do it right now.</p>
<p>mspearl, you were there! You were upside down, but you were there. I can flatly assure you of that.</p>
<p>I’m so confused. And I’m the spy!</p>
<p>No. Clue. None. Oh well. Just not one of the cool kids, I guess.</p>
<p>CMM – it’s ok – take my hands – all four of them – let’s make a circle – the Pope is here - he’s not judging anymore – and we’ll all fly away – it’s so beautiful in the circle. All our friends are here. It’s score optional. Everyone gets in. Say you believe.</p>
<p>
I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.</p>
<p>Don’t mind the man behind the curtain!</p>
<p>Shhh! AlphaGirl’s coming! Everyone – hide!</p>
<p>notrich: the bottles in front added spice to the experience. But not nearly as much as did the great company!</p>
<p>Of course, it didn’t compare to blowing through Delaware at 95!</p>
<p>At least you guys understand weird emails that are coming to you and are having fun. Wish I could say the same.</p>
<p>All I got was a boring survey.</p>
<p>In addition to the rest of the particularly strange emails coming to the inbox lately I got one trying to register me for a race that is either totally trumped up and bogus or in extremely poor taste. :(</p>
<p>I too got the boring survey. </p>
<p>I never win anything.:(</p>
<p>Yeah, 95 just made Delaware go by faster. Great thing about this site is everyone remembers everything about what you post. It’s like living with your mother. Forever.</p>
<p>I got the survey, and filled it out. Think they’ll listen? I want bookmarks!</p>
<p>Get in a chuckle for me (hopefully not at me). Somebody’s got to have a good time!</p>
<p>Sorry! I didn’t mean to be so mysterious. I was just trying to point out that posting on CC can have unintended consequences, especially if you’re a little uptight. </p>
<p>Just to clear things up, I’ll provide one more detail: the experience involved a very potent Cocktail. </p>
<p>Sorry, that’s all I can say - have to protect the innocent.</p>
<p>I… I have been here so long that I don’t know what email my name is attached to. Now I’ll never know whether or not I got <em>the email</em></p>
