I live in a kind of weird area of town and most of my mail is picked up at the post office.  Sometimes my phone number is on the outside and they call me, other times I get a note taped to my door telling me to come to the post office.

I was a little apprehensive about getting stuff from Silk Road but I figured I'd throw caution to the wind, order a bunch of stuff, and if any of it were intercepted go all wide eyed and gosh I don't know who'd send stuff like this to me.

I ordered from a couple of different vendors at the same time.  TechnoHippy's DOB was the first item to arrive.

15:50 - first hit
It tastes bitter.  I do my best to let it dissolve in my mouth.  In addition to the bitter taste, the blotter tastes kind of like glue and I have to fight my over sensitive gag reflex before deciding to swallow the piece of paper.

16:12 - I'm noticing what seem to be some very mild visuals but maybe that's because I'm paying close attention to my surroundings

16:55 - After sitting outside my apartment building for nearly an hour waiting for couriered packages (non SR) that are being delivered to my door, I'm inside.  Sensation has not increased past the mild "am I having visuals or not?" level.

17:05 - I unwisely take a second hit

17:10 - I leave my apartment to go for a foot massage.  It's a 20-30 minute walk under normal conditions and it's not much longer than that.

17:32 - sitting down at a bus stop about two thirds of the way to the massage place, DEFINITELY noticing enhanced sensations

17:35 - it's starting ...
can't decide if the second hit was what I needed to tip me over threshold or not

17:44 - arrived at the foot massage place, I'm noticing slight jaw tension but other than some disorientation and enhanced sensations, this stuff is pretty boring.

18:14 - all I wrote was "oh yeah" and it's hard to say if that's because of the DOB or because of the foot massage which, in true Asian fashion, includes my lower back, my shoulders, and my scalp.

18:44 - Starting peak?

18:49 - massage is over, have to manage to do things like paying money and finding my way out of the building.

Walking back home, it's poring down buckets of rain.  I take my shoes off sometimes and the sensation of walking in grass through the gardens outside the massage place is an awesome full body load.  Unfortunately, I've still got nasty wet sidewalk and streets to cross before I get home.

19:14 - shortcut through an apartment development not my own and end up sitting in a gazebo listening to the rain.  The world is breathing.  Awesome overlaid visuals on the wood grain.  Unfortunately, I'm worried (paranoid?) about how the outside world might perceive me and I feel the need to get back into my safe space.

Don't recommend taking in a city setting

19:36 - Finally made it home.  Really difficult not to stop and pet things like trees and buildings.  Must. Be. Normal. Looking.

I go upstairs to my apartment and fall asleep (sort of) into a trance that is heavily influenced by the books I've been reading recently (Wheel of Time series).  Periodically think that I should make an effort to have some music.  Never do.

21:31 - Peak is definitely over. I feel 'cheated' by having a) taken too much to have good control of my trip and b) taken it in the city where I'm constantly worried that People Will See Me.  Visual stimuli in my apartment aren't as nice as outside my apartment.

21:40-22:35 - Leave my apartment and go for a hair cut.  Disorientation is not a good thing. Maybe if the person washing my scalp weren't a neighbor who is trying to talk with me in my second language.  Scalp massage feels amazeballs.

22:40 - back in my apartment, I fall asleep until 00:30 and wake up to a still slightly weird world.  Long slow comedown.

Absolutely have to stress to anyone intending to take this do *NOT* redose because it doesn't feel like it has started to take effect.  According to Erowid, DOB can take up to 3 hours to START having an effect.  I missed out on a large part of the visuals because I was overwhelmed by The Outside and the need to look Normalish.  A lower dose (i.e. 1 tab) or not taking it in a city environment might have helped alleviate this problem. 

Also, being less "OMG I have drugs, must try them now" would have been in order. Having my mp3 player charged, a playlist, and my noise-cancelling headset would have added so many layers to this trip.
