Caffeine and I have a history.
And by history I mean the same lines as my sexual history, meaning I joke about it a lot but really have almost no personal experience.
I drink mostly caffeine-free sodas, and whatever is in tea. I've had coffee a few times in my life but it's 80% milk and sugar. Even then, I get a headache.
So whatever the fuck possessed me to think that buying a monster before my math final was a good idea NEEDS TO STOP IT.
I've had sips of Knife's before and once drank a whole one after getting an hour of sleep the night before.
But that night I got 9 hours. I was rested. Almost awake. Well. And yet...
Here is a more or less chronological order of the affects of monster upon my body in the way I remember it.
Halfway through drinking monster: "I can feel my brain. I can feel all the neurons and particles and atoms in my brain firing off electrical charges to make me think."
*decides froot loops and chocolate milk would be great additions to my breakfast of champions*
Pen witnessed my speedy descent into insanity. That was fun.
Her: "I think you're going insane?"
Me: *eating froot loops as fast as possible* "No I'm not, if I was insane, would I be eating froot loops?"
Her: "Yes!"
Me: "skjbgkjsbv dsfkjvbkdf djgbdfs wowisitjustmeoramItalkingreallyfastormaybetheworldisjustmovingslower?" [assume I talk like this the rest of the time]
Her: "You're talking really fast."
I remembered the ze frank video about sloths. "So if the world is moving slower, then sloths would be deadly right? OH MY GOD SLOTHS ARE GOING TO ATTACK. THERE'S AN ARMY OF SLOTHS ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL TO ATTACK US."
Shortly after finishing monster: "I want to do a backflip. I'm pretty sure I can successfully do a backflip. I never knew how to do a backflip but I'm pretty sure I could do one now."
Her: "Don't do a backflip."
*starts taking test*
It was at this point my brain was working but not exactly the way it should it was going so fast I was jumping from topic to topic with no sense of rhythm or reason so basically TRYING TO DO MATH WAS HARD AND YET I KNEW WHAT TO DO.
My pencil kept falling out of my hand I would be writing and it would fall and I would stare at my hand for a second like "it's not supposed to fall?" and then pick it up and continue mathing.
On the other hand my hand was shaking my crazy and my leg didn't stop bouncing FOR FOUR STRAIGHT HOURS OH MY GOD.
My brain did come up with some great things though.
At one point I discovered the answer to life, the universe, and everything- and then promptly forgot it. It was super deep and not 42 though.
I also suddenly understood physics. Have I ever taken physics or learned much of anything about it? No. But I knew EVERYTHING.
All I remember is "Physics is the universe singing." which sounds pretty but doesn't really help.
The climax of this caffeine story was the hexagon problem.
It was two hexagons, one inside the other.
And I read the question where they said they were hexagons but suddenly got very paranoid.
What if they were lying? And it wasn't a hexagon?
So I tried to count the sides.
Emphasis on "tried."
1, 2, 3, 4, 5... fdkghkfsdjgnkdfj
Wait, what? No, I need to count that last one.
Again!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5... dskjhgksdfljgnkldfjn
I'm pretty sure something comes after this.
Seven?
No, that's not it.
Um.
What.
Wut.
BRAIN WORK DAMMIT
ooooh pretty shapes
look its a hexagon or so they say
pretty
*blurry blurry* my eyes are out of focus I should probably fix that
tra la la was I doing something?
right, counting. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... pretty shaaaaaaaaaaaaapes
So for approximately 30 seconds I lost the ability to count past five.
I wrapped myself in my cape and fell asleep on the ground after the test and the affects wore off. Nice, cold ground. I felt like I had a fever.
My friends pretty much tackled me today when I said I wanted to buy another one.
