but i do realte to a lot of those hahahaha!! especially the frinking beer at after parties part.

frinking beer wtf is that?

ive been frinking and i cant even reatle to myself right now lol!!
BOOSTINGr
JADED????? what is jaded really? all i can see it being really is expeience. You have experienced first hand rave life and can now form your own opinions on general rave type matters and related shite etc.

I Its reality, its knowing your surroundings and how they work instead of happily dancing the night away with a set of blinkers on your eyes.

Some people may call it jaded but its just a persperctive thing i supose.
Jutsinr
I'm a bit jaded, but a more so just used to it (as Chris mentioned).

Funny as hell though, Devious smile.gif

oooooo i fraking hate chixx in heels tha stand front and centre.. either dance or GET THE frak OFF THE DANCEFLOOR.
crIs Pr
yeah dancefloor stampers laugh.gif
march Er
there is a cure though

keep booting them in the heels, sooner or laer the heel bit will snap off and they will take their whole wanna-be-glamour-posse and leave.

its a fraking dancefloor, not a turn-my-feet-into-swiss-cheese-lookalikes floor

maybe we sould install cattle grates in front of the venue doors!
