1) Gentoo and networking protocols are now "properly" installed(pain in the ass to get the DHCP/networking configured, but it suddenly hit me after reading the docs and config files, and now I can install the rest of the system. Currently downloading KDE(and of course, hence, x-windows)

So far, portage seems pretty damn nice, and I noticed that there is a LogJam package for it as well.

Now, the fun stuff.
I just took the AMT. 5:10... we shall see how I'm feeling in a couple hours. I hope it turns out well, and nothing goes wrong. After reading more experiences on Erowid, I'm fairly positive about it, while still exercising the appropriate caution for any psychedelic.

I did bring home some of the propranolol I was prescribed for anxiety last year. It's a beta-blocker, and lowers blood pressure, so if something in terms of tension/blood-pressure/heart rate happens, I'll take the beta-blocker and hopefully that will help reduce any complications that may arise. But I'm sure that's an unnecessary precaution. I'm fairly confident.

I went to the bathroom, and cleared out my system. Got a lot of water put in a pitcher and put it in the fridge so I can have quick, easy access to nice cool water if necessary.

I only had one apple, a bowl of cornflakes, and a cup of Yerba Mate today, so I should be ok on the stomach front.

Please send me any good vibes, and I'll let you know tomorrow how things turn out. Hopefully this will refresh me mentally and spiritually, and tomorrow I'll be ready to kick ass on getting the house clean.

I only wish I had some weed. Always nice during the trips.

Sigh.

Hope cottonmouth isn't too bad. I always hate that. I tend to get congested on shrooms and acid. Sending love to y'all and hope you're having a good day today as well. If you have any interesting links or fun stuff to do while tripping, feel free to post a reply or email me with said links.

peace! :)

thanks so much. I will drink plenty of water. I always enjoy the sensation of drinking water when tripping.

Thanks for sending good my way. Hope you have a wonderful day yourselves.

I'll probably be posting throughout the night my little reports(that is, of course, unless I get just a little tooo far into it)

I think I have the proper balance of fear that McKenna mentions comes with a good relationship with psychedelics. These aren't fun toys to play with, especially when it's a new drug that you've never used before. When you read a couple bad reports, you keep in the back of your mind that it may be you. But on the whole, I still tend to let the positivity win over(else I wouldn't do it in the first place)

God I'm babbly.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm such a hermit and there are very wonderful people in the world, and I'm closed off so much of the time from them and sharing who I am, and psychedelics really help to bring out that beauty again. I really want to say that I appreciate you and sarah, even though I don't really keep in touch with you guys all that much, you're just very beautiful wonderful people(ok, maybe there is a bit of the MDMA like effects happening:)) But anyways, seriously, this is all true, regardless... Thanks for being who you are.

Peace...
