In the past 2 days, I've read a disproportionate amount of entries on my f-list talking about how suddenly "down" or "dismal" people feel

Hmmm,

Well, for starters, I HATE chocolate. (yes, I'm serious) Can I have glass of Scotch instead? (see my latest post for more info)

Good post!!

[txvoodoo]

awwwww...the reason chocolate is good is because it DOES increase serotonin levels :D

I enjoy a good glass of whiskey, also. But remember my caveat of not overindulging. The morning after ain't worth the night before :D

Correction - just looked it up:

"modest amounts of chocolate can give a real lift to someone who is feeling depressed as chocolate contains the chemical theobromine which triggers the release of endorphins in the brain."

Oh, I'm sure you're right, but I still don't like chocolate, I get a "gag reflex" when I even smell it.

And let me tell you, even *thinking* about single malt scotch releases endorphines for me!!! (Cayenne pepper does the same thing for me)

We'd all be lost with out our voodoo...

[txvoodoo]

Oh, that all sounds so good! I can't do any of it until Friday though, after I take my last of 3 tests this week =(

But then I'll curl up with my best buddy and watch movies all night, while eating chocolate chip cookies and drinking milk =)
