Drugs aren't necessarily bad, but they can be addictive...

While I was typing a particular email address tonight, I was struck by the correlational coincidence of a random word association, a metaphor I made in passing some days ago, and how little it can take to latch onto an addiction. Perhaps even a new nickname? (Not for me, that just wouldn't make any sense, sheesh.)

MDMA (Methylenedioxymethamphetamine), AKA Ecstasy, E, X, XTC, and improperly Extasy, per Wikipedia:

"a semisynthetic member of the phenethylamine class of psychoactive drugs...The drug is well known for its tendency to produce feelings of overwhelming euphoria, a strong sense of intimacy with others, diminished feelings of fear and anxiety, and pronounced overall civility..."

Man, I need to get me some of that! Sounds like a fun place to be. Maybe you know a guy who knows a guy?

Funny things, these coincidences.



There she is, the object of our affections, isn't she cute? And why do all these animated molecule things look vaguely like caterpillars? I'm sure there's some sort of subtextual phallic significance there, but I'm not looking for it.
