Finger=broke

<div class="IPBDescription">No more gamez for a while</div>I broke my middle finger at a rave when I was blowing up this chick with a light show when she e-tards out, falls into me, and knocks me down. When I try to break my fall my finger bends in a way it really wasn't meant to. Finals are really going to suck ### as it was the middle finger on the hand I use to write with. <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo--> 3 weeks with a brace before I can get something flexable! and no more glowstix unless I can learn to use stringz. :'(

man typing with one hand is a real pain in the ###.

    Hey I'm sorry about that. I personally have never broken anything so I won't say I can feel your pain. I do know that having exams with a not-to-well-working hand is not good news. Good luck in them! You shall persevere!

    ummm... drug culture reference (See personal note below for my views on drugs in general) when you're rolling (taking XTC aka E, MDMA, MDA-80, love drug, X, rolls, beans) you get "high" from your senses, things that you would touch, hear, see, etc. that would normally make you think "that's pretty cool looking/smelling/feeling/tasting/sounding) make you feel extremely happy and up. Also you get touchy feely because your entire body feels electric. When someone's rolling at a rave you blow them up- just do all sorts of things to all their senses at once so that every part of them feels "happy". hence the rubbing down of people, glowstick light shows, good music (well techno isn't everyone's idea of good music), misting water, vapo rub etc. It's kind of an unwritten rule of a rave, sort of like how you're supposed to pick someone up if they fall down in a mosh pit at a metal concert. most of the visual stuff only gets peeps high if it's up close to their eyes- that's why lots of times you'll see E-tards standing just beyond the reach of someone using glosticks one strings. this girl I was blowing up was really close to my hand work with the glowstix- about 6 inches away. part of the reason that I wasn't able to catch her when she went e-tard on me.

    e-tarding (e-tard, so much like retard because that's how your thinking is when you're rolling) is what happens when someone blows up- their eyes flutter they get this really big goofy smile on their face, and if it's really intense, they can sometimes pass out from "pleasure"

    so in laymans terms- there was this chick that was getting high off of watching my glowstick routine that I was doing for her, and she got so much of a rush from it that she passed out, fell into me, knocked my butt on the ground, but when I tried to catch my fall, my finger bent backwards and sideways. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'><!--endemo-->

    **on a personal Note**
    while I am in the camp of I don't care what substances people do (unless it hurts other people like one close friend did <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->), I myself found the err in my ways of drugs and have been clean for over a year and a half. I will not tell people not to do drugs, as it is my personal opinion that 1st hand experience is the best teacher. I WILL tell people I know who do use drugs that it is bad for them and that one day they're going to have to realize that they have to stop.

    besides they're too damned expensive.

    And this, ladies and gents, is why I don't do drugs.  I don't like not being in control of myself... and if I *do* want to lose control, I want to decide exactly how messed up I get (that's why I still drink alcohol... you can get a little buzz, or you can get plastered - it's your choice.  Haven't been drunk in a while though).

    I also had a girlfriend who tried E while we were dating... she actually stopped for me.  That's love.  I know she tried it at least once more after we broke up (her first time had been laced with acid and messed with her head - WHY don't I do drugs?  Oh right, 'cause sh!t like this happens), but I don't know if she still does it ever.

    Coil's got a very good point there- Drugs completely #### you up. I will concede that they were fun as hell (there's only been three times in my life that I was happier than when I was rolling)- just take a pill and you're in a dream world where you can do anything that your imagination conjures up. But I also realized at some point that if I'm to have any future when I get out of college, then I can't be abusing my mind- I intend on joining the Airforce when I graduate, and if I test positive for drug use (the tests can accurately detect as far back as three years ago) I won't be able to join their pilot program.
    To use or not use drugs is everyone's individual decision- One of my LAN party m8s is where I was a year and a half ago, but he's still able to function fine as a part of a programming team so he doesn't see why he should stop now.

    "Remember kiddies- anything that's fun is probably either immoral, illegal, or will kill you one day. And if its not then the government's going try and take it away anyways <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->"
    -Matt McGregor

    Although coil- you CAN regulate how f-ed up you get on illegals if you prepare yourself with the knowledge of how drugs work within your body. There's certain legal drugs- over the counter- that effect the GABA and serotonin receptors within your brain in ways that can reduce the intensity of an acid trip, or reduce the effect of the highs of rolling.
    The GABA and serotonin receptors are the only ones that will be significantly effected by the over the counter pharacuticals that I could find (the dopamine, canabinoid and other receptors don't respond well to over the counter drugs. FYI Acid effects mosly the GABA system and E effects mostly the serotonin systems)- if you're doing something besides Acid or E, then you have to look at perscription kinds of drugs to counteract the effects which can be <b>REALLY BAD AND EVEN AFTER TAKING SEVERAL PHARMACUTICAL AND ORGANIC CHEMISTRY CLASSES I WON'T EVEN TRY TO DO UNLESS ITS A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION AND THE PERSON NEEDS TO STAY ALIVE UNTIL THEY GET PROFESSIONAL HELP.</b>

    er... yea, like I said- I'm a reformed druggie, but that doesn't mean my knowledge can go to waste- as a matter of fact, I'm working on a list of club drugs, date rape substances, and other forms of chemical pleasure that tells exactly how it effects the body in a complete phisiological summary of each of the systems within the body (nervouse, resperatory, digestive, etc.), what that means in laymens terms, street price, how it makes you feel (mostly from first hand experience but there's some things I never did try and won't others to even try like crack, heroine, morphine, and crank(PCP)), combinations that enchance the effects or can kill you, how to treat an OD, and the different variants of each kind- although those are usually dealer specific.

    oi I'll shutup now.

    Wow, its like pimpy, only . . . after drugs. Sorry about your finger. I personally plan to stay free of drugs. My best friend since kindergarten (and Im in 9th grade) is getting into E and Pot and he's come pretty close to Juvie. Thats a long story. Bottom line, drugs are bad, mmmm Kay.

    (for those of you who don't know, Pimpy was (is?) a really samrt guy who used to frequent these forums and write really really long (like one to two page) posts.

    i was never a fan of the raves but i love the clubs (GINO THING).  But yah drugs used to be my life too then i figured out how stupid it was and quit the only bad habit i have now which i need to quit is smoking.

    I smoked socially for about 4 months, freshman year of college... about a month before I quit, I started buying my own cigarettes (instead of bumming off other people).  One day I left home without my cigs and actually went and bought a new pack... as I walked out of the store, I realized what a HUGE mistake I was making, tossed the cigs in the trash, and haven't touched one since.  I can't afford it, I like my lungs, and being a singer makes it doubly stupid.

    My girlfriend has been smoke-free now for nearly two years... I'm really, really proud of her.  (:

    Total amount pot smoked- about 12oz

    which goes to show that cigarettes as a "gateway drug" isn't true.
    I'm glad I gave up this #### a long while ago.

    I successfuly converted a friend from smoking (tobacco)
    in to playing video games.
    He could not smoke in the house and i "loaned" him couple
    of good ones.
    He played approximately 11 hours in a day.
    Now he is smoke free but i nearly never see him in person.
    Is it better to have a friend with lung cancer or a friend
    you never see? <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->

    And sorry about your finger!!
