-- Anyone dare say how their first time trippin' went? It was too intense!!! I probably should not have combined mescaline and acid for my first time... But, I was young and foolish! It took years before I'd try anything psychedelic again, although I do have some fond memories of that fateful day. The plain white walls became covered with incredible, complex wallpaper patterns, and mist rose from the floor tiles. In the mirror, I saw my face morph back and forth into that of a snow leopard. The raindrops outside turned into tiny little prisms, and I could see sound- waves. Unfortunately, my then boyfriend came over and punched me, and the trip became hideously evil. I was sooooo frightened that I would never come down. My last trip? Grateful Dead, front row center, last show of summer tour... I never stopped dancing!!! Thanks for the fluff, Mr. Bloop, if you're out there! :) Peace, :) Hilary -- rec.drugs.psychedelic
