I have drugs. Specifically mebeverine (Colofac) and loperamide (Imodium). Apparently mebeverine is 3,4-Dimethoxybenzoic acid 4-(ethyl-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-methylethyl]amino]butyl ester hydrochloride, which is enough of a systematic name that I could probably draw it out myself (given time and a large piece of paper), except I don't need to as someone else already has. Meanwhile RxList claims that loperamide is 4-(p-chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyl-alpha,alpha-diphenyl-1-piperidinebutyramide monohydrochloride, which I wouldn't be able to draw (buggered if I know what alpha means in the context of an organic molecule name), but it apparently has a molecular formula of C29H33ClN2O2.HCl and a molecular weight of 513.51. Ye-es.

While organic chemistry is Fun and Exciting, and should be a major part of everyone's day... anyone know anything about them from the user's point of view? ;)

Just updated my interests. I knocked off silliness, thrill rides, Terry Pratchett, usenet and "power puff girls". I figured I don't actually like silliness that much, thrill rides are covered by rollercoasters (there's very few non-rollercoaster thrill rides that I like), I've got a bit bored with Terry Pratchett's work, and haven't been on usenet in ages. I still have PowerPuff Girls punctuated correctly, though. I'd have a lot more space for interests if I didn't have Efexor written three different ways, and three different ways of pluralising octopus. But those interests are important enough that I want people to be able to find me. (I still regret having to get rid of "glbt" and "blgt" to make more room!).

In case you care, I've added hyperventilation, irritable bowel syndrome, Kasson Crooker, Skippy peanut butter and spiky haired boys. (Actually, I think the last three items in that list could make up a rather good sexual fantasy - as long as the first two weren't anywhere near!!)
