Seven New Experiences In Seven Days

[flotemysost]

I've never done ketamine or dressed as a lion so that's Monday sorted

I actually did both of these things for the first time (not on the same night) in the past 12 months, so I suppose covid hasn't been a total write-off.

I'm trying to think of new experiences and the only one I'm really up for right now is this. I want to see if I'll start tripping balls. I need to wait until shark week is over though, I don't want to end up floating in my own blood.

I have a friend who tried it quite recently and said she found it really relaxing. She suffers from quite bad aches/generally feeling run down thanks to Lupus and apparently it helped with that. I'm ridiculously fidgety and also quite claustrophobic, so I suspect I'd be scratching the walls and howling to be let out within minutes, but there is a part of me that's curious about trying it.

They do make allowances for you if you're claustrophobic, supposedly. I am myself, though it's more to do with crowds, and I'm also a fidget, but I think I'll probably just fall asleep in there.

I've never dressed as a lion or done ket, though I did dress as a giraffe once.

There's also the German sex club but COVID makes that a bit difficult.

I missed this the first time, I've also really been curious about sensory deprivation/isolation tank stuff. The only reason I've not started a thread on it is the covid thing.

Apparently there used to be a decent place with pods round my way but it has got shut, but there's a beauty parlour that offers it in a bigger pool. Still really want to try it out at some point.

I smoke weed semi-regularly but apart from that, the only drug I've ever taken is MDMA and to be honest, I'm not bothered about taking anything else at this point. Mad sex stuff is the way forward.

I think my experimental days are behind me but I'd quite like to try DMT.

the 2c* family is great, a bit like taking mdma and hallucinogens at the same time.

Ever tried 'coftea', making a brew in coffee?

I have. Also when a workplace water heater thing broke I tried to make a brew with the hot water function on the bean-to-cup machine and it tasted exactly like it.

Wouldn't recommend drinking more than once.

A place opened in Birmingham probably 4 years ago and I went. Really enjoyed it. You can have the lights on, dimmed, or off as you choose throughout (sensor-y type switches easy to find along the sides to adjust). I really enjoyed it - I went dark for the session but don't really have an issue with that sort of thing. Would recommend.

German sex club also sounds fine.

Some places also have bigger ones that are less like a pod and more of a small room with a small pool in them, possibly for accessibility reasons I think the place I was looking at is like that.

Heavy metal gig, do some moshing.
Go skiing in actual snow, replace memories of face planting on the cruel astro-turfed slopes of Beckton Alps.
Bee keeping/harvest some fresh honey
Do a dirt rally stage in an Impreza.
Play an hour on Channel One sound system, full beans.
Volunteer at shelter or soup kitchen.
Lob a flaming projectile from trebuchet

Sunday- really struggling here, probably need an indulgence on this from Fr. Bigley - hearty neighbor wave directed at previously unacknowledged man who lives in house across street.
