By technical definition…It’s a vitamin supplement.
The supplement facts read as such…

Vitamin C 167%
Vitamin B3 (Niacin) 165%
Vitamin B6 2000%
Folic Acid 100%
Vitamin B12 8333%
It says it contains about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee. [No big deal there]

It also warns of what is called a Niacin Flush, saying it’ll last a few minutes. [It lasted longer than a few minutes.]
For those of you who have never experienced a Niacin Flush…Think of how it feels to have a fever, you kind of feel quite hot, and portions of your skin appear red. I had reddish hands, and I’m sure my face was showing it.

This stuff also contains phenylalanine (Which is also found in most sugarless gums now…And I’ll be off to look up momentarily).

I will NOT be taken this stuff again. I still felt like I could take a nap…Aside from the fact that my body felt like freaking out.
I had a high-caffeine soda the other day…I will say, I felt energized with it…Up…I compare it to feeling a bit like Barty…Not the complete manic Barty, but Barty at rest if you will. I can handle that feeling, it’s nice on occasion.

This stuff…It’s like Peter during a moment of high anxiety…Think in the Shrieking Shack in Prisoner of Azkaban…Trust me…No one EVER wants to feel like that…Especially for HOURS straight!

I took this at 1:15 PM…About 8:15 PM, I _finally_ started evening out (as long as I was moving around a bit). Honestly, laying here now, as I type this, I can STILL feel it…It’s like waiting for anxiety to attack you! Not fun, not fun at all. Actually, I’m ready to return to the ‘nail-chewing’ thing…Raya will get that even if no-one else does. (Note: Refer to pre-mentioned POA scene.)

*reads about phenylalanine* O.o Um…Yeah…Not going into all of that…Only to say, those interested might want to take a look. [Anyone doing anything sugar-free in abundance might want to.] *is seriously reconsidering her recent gum ‘addiction’*

Okay…Away from that…

I have to delve deeper into my thoughts for my essay…This being due Thursday. And my brain just doesn’t seem to know how to do it. Maybe it’ll kick in tomorrow.

I also have some other exercises in English I need to do.

I’m suppose to write a Journal entry for Psych today/tonight…Think I’ll save it for tomorrow. [At least I have something to write about this time. *laughs*]

Mum’s Jeep is still not done! *sigh* She’s taking a vacation day tomorrow…But, we have heat! So that is good…Mum just has to buy a case of beer for the guy. [And selling and fixing furnaces is this guys job! *laughs*] Usually it would of cost $75.00.

Can’t think of anything else currently…Brain is a bit scattered still.

So, I guess I’m off. *skips off*

Oh yeah…&…Happy Birthday Tara.
