No. You get something better: Jungian psychoanalysis and a copy of
that excellent book, "Eccentrics," by Jamie James and David Weeks. No
harmful physical side effects, plus you get the pleasure of knowing
that such benefits make the biz'droids in the pharmaceutical
companies, and elsewhere, cringe. :-)

Ok, so your friends may all be reasonably eccentric. So far so good.

Hmmm... You've capitalized that. Scribble, scribble. Let's expand
upon the meaning of your capitalization of those words. What does
your capitalization of that signify to you? Does that mean that,
whether you're consciously aware of it or not, you like women who make
evil plans for you?

That's no problem. See what I wrote above. You can be happy without
it. All you really need for happiness are your classic computers,
eccentricity and, perhaps, in your case, women who "secretly brew up
evil plans." ;-)
