Endorphins

"20 things you don't know about me, Endorphins"

1. Where I hang out most of the time: The Nervous System is my good ole home. I am mainly chillin with the brain and spinal cord. 2. I am responsible for: Relieving pain 3. I'm most similar to the drug: Morphine is partially where i got my name from because of our similar attributes to the body. 4. My favorite activity is: SKYDIVING is one of my favs!!! I am a sucker for EPIC activities, they really get me going. 5. I hate it when: The body takes illegal drugs because I am much better and natural than those synthetic sissies! 6. The best thing about receptor sites is: That is where i bind to help the body relieve pain. 7. When humans don't have enough of me: They will be in pain and are often very depressed. 8. In a choice between robots or zombies: because... zombies because I could definitely help them cheer up and stop feeling so much pain in those hideous gashes throughout their body that are there as a result from trying to overtake the world. 9. The sucky thing about being a hormone: I don't get any credit for the body's happiness! People are often unaware of my role! Hey I bring to the table too! 10. A really strange fact about me: The chemical composition of many endorphins is VERY similar to morphin... my fugitive, evil twin brother. 11. My favorite food and why: Spicy Burritos! Spicy food makes more of me and I go nuts off of it! Aye Corrumba! 12. I once dated a synapse, but it fell apart because: I was just being used as a "rebound" and once the pain was over, I was rid of and forgotten.. :( 13. Sleep is awesome because: I know I am doing my part because if there was pain without me, sleep would be harder and maybe even impossible. 14. A neuron walks into a bar and says: I'll take an endorphin on the rocks... I'm too stressed. 15. When humans have too much of me: They are feeling the best they have ever felt! 16. Candy or Chocolate: Chocolate erryday baby! It gets me going! 17. My effects on the body are commonly referred to as the "runner's high" 18. There is a potential connection between me and looking young. 19. I can increase in number by 200% after sexual activity. 20. My volunteer work on the side includes: aiding those who are addicted to drugs and alcohol to break the addiction.
