maybe that's not as fun as i thought

a caffeine overdose, that is. i was originally planning on consuming copius quantities of that substance, in the form of bawls and mountain dew, and staying up all night to study and write. but then i found out that you can actually overdose on caffeine. some of the effects were expected, others were not. you can view the full list at this site; here's a few i thought were worth posting:

the obvious ones:
--difficulty sleeping
--muscle twitching
--increased urination

the not so obvious and potentially bad ones:
--in and out of consciousness
--vomiting/diarrhea
--irregular heartbeat
--hallucinations
--convulstions
--death

no, that last one was not a joke... you can actually die from a caffeine overdose. scary thought.
