The day before I left I went to University Health Services to hash it out with a psychiatrist. But I was slightly disappointed in the tiny man with a heavy German accent who sat me down and began to ignore me. He wrote notes continually during the session, using a thick, phallic Mont-Blanc pen that was twice the size of his hand. After I told him everything that was happening, he turned...

It didn't happen to Cleary's invincible crusaders that had not lost since exams...
...mean most people had their religious experience and dug it only as long as the trip lasted. But Kim made a religion out of it all, on you name it, hash, coke, heroin, speed, mesc, psylocybin, LSD, DMT. Once, on sunshine, she just danced in this slow circle around the room with this scary grin on her face, and then suddenly grabbed a pair of scissors and starts jabbing at her hair screaming about how the devil was inside...
