Hello diary.

After coming home from Chelsea's house, I am now blown out of my mind and probably drunk. Not sure, since I do not know how long Sertraline HCL (Zoloft) stays in my system- where it's stored; fat cells or elsewheres? 'Cause drinking while on anti-depressants slows down your motor skills.. Anyways, the point of this is to record this moment before it fades.

I have figured out a way to replicate the feeling of watching the Aurora Lights; or what I've imagined it to be.

1) Lava Lamps ~= Aurora Lights

They are (made up of/ consisted of) 2 different fluids that are immiscible. One is more dense than the other by a very small amount, therefore one sinks while the other floats. Boiling points must also differ by an extremely small amount. So, the bulb underneath the mixture heats them up, breaking the bonds of the bottom layer first, making them float up. The ones on top are sinking down to the bulb, bonds are broken, and the process repeats.

I've found after letting my glitter lamp sit in my room without use for about 5 months (August to January), the liquid on top turned a purplesque/bluish color. So, when I put the blue cap on top, it became purple! The purple and blue colors dance on my ceiling in fast, rhythmic waves.

Those are the Aurora Lights.

2) Wide open window and view of Winter

The liquids perhaps separated due to my room's freezing extremes. In my room, there are 2 large windows whom I blame for my igloo. One of those windows rests above my bed yielding me this sight:

My glitter lamp lights on the white ceiling and the winter scenery of snow and pine. Lack of heating stimulates the cold temperate in Greenland (me thinks).

And this is how I pretend I'm in the Arctic.

This was all thought out while high.. I think this happens because my perception of time is very slow, and I was in the same physical and mental mindset. Being high just gives me patience.. This makes me wonder about me doing research and typing up my reports while high..

Hahaa, the REAL purpose of this is to remind yourself that no matter how sober, intoxicated, or/and high you are, you are still a bright person who has the potential to alter minds.
