synaptic fire 

A perfect union of mental and physical energy.
"This anime is really dampening my synaptic fire"
"When I have sex with Laura, I really feel my synaptic fire rising"
"When you say that, it's like you're extinguishing my synaptic fire"

Synaptic Relationship

My thoughts are the threads of the tapestry of my life. I manifest my life with my thoughts. Without my thoughts I am a comatose vegetable with no manifest reality. Every thought to which I attach a personal emotion becomes a stitch in my tapestry. I can think fear without being fear, but the moment I attach my personal emotion of fear to a fearful thought, I have invited fear into my life. One lonely fearful thread may not do any harm but, if I am not careful, very soon the threads of fear work together to make a pattern in my life. Then a scene begins to emerge in my tapestry - a needle point detail that describes my fear - with some focus the entire threads become a scene of fear; by fear and for fear. No matter how I spin it, no matter how I try to artistically codify those threads, in the end it is still a scene about fear.

By attaching an emotion to my thoughts - i.e. joy, fear, hate, love or anger - the thought acquires a synaptic relationship to that emotion (a comfort zone, if you will). This emotional investment manifests a fabric of emotion to drape over my thought and clothe it with something that belongs to me (kind of like a uniform). Then my emotion is disguised as a thought, and the thought is disguised as an emotion. This emotional relationship gives my thoughts shape, texture and form in the three-dimensional world where my body resides - which is supposed to be outside of my thinking. Next a three-dimensional presence is manifested as the reality of my life, and it appears in the form of people, places and things.

My tapestry is quite like the plumage of a peacock, attracting other peacocks with a reality similar to my own. I grow the plumage - or weave the tapestry if you will (since I am mixing metaphors) - because it suits my purpose and my purpose is to live in fear, to doubt everything, not to trust anything or anyone - or NOT.
“My thoughts were stitched into the fabric of my emotions
until the synaptic relationship to my feelings had dyed the tapestry
of my life the bright red color of fear.” ~Rusty Cline~

Synaptic Hug

An attachment of a personal emotion to a thought! Once you attach a personal emotion to a thought you have created a synaptic relationship to that thought. Once you have embraced this thought with your own emotion, you are now intimately involved with that thought.

If the thought was fear of failure... guess what... yep you failed because of a synaptic hug!!!
Nero's synaptic hug ultimately caused him to get a knife in the back!

SynaptochillinBerlin

When you come to Deutschland for a scientific sort of reason where your parents and your school demand you to do something useful out of your vagabond professional-procrastinator self and during your summer you end up realizing that the art and the internationality of the city have transformed you into a culture-appreciating more respectful human being.
Student A: Hey! What'd you do this summer?

Student B: SynaptochillinBerlin.

Student A: Cool! I went to Bahamas OMG SO COOL! (starts talking about him or herself)

Student B (thinks while smiling): I fucking love Charleston people, Deadmau5, and Drosophila melanogaster.

synoptic 

A particularly long and evil type of exam set by evil exam boards. Often involves an amalgam of EVERYTHING you've ever learned in a particular subject. Otherwise knows as IL DIABOLO!
"Let's set them a paper that is 3 hours long, tests them on all the English Skills they've ever learnt, and is full of unseen material. But hey, let's put some blackadder in just to make it fun."
