Hey everybody. So, this yesterday (Sat) Nick and I went to Nocturnal Wonderland, which is a huge rave festival thing. It was definitely an experience to behold to say the least. Start it off with two trips to Long Beach because SOMEONE forgot his ticket. I'm not naming any names. So, we finally got there, parked illegally and headed off to dance fantastery. I wish I had brought a camera. Ahahahahah. But I totally would have lost it and been even sadder. Anywho, most of everyone was dressed pretty crazy. Nick and I did pretty well on our attire but we definitely weren't the most outrageous/slutty. I painted a BADASS shroom on Nick's jacket that I cut the sleeves off of. It's pretty fucking fantastic. Anywho, so we wandered around. The music hurt your soul it was so loud; it was awesome. We were all glow sticked out but there were CRAZY other things I can't even describe that were so cool. People with LCD(?) shirts that were like the music bars that map out volume (You know like they're green with red on top), people with light up shirts with pot leaves on them, crazy glow lights for each of your fingers, strings of light that were just... weird. Lotsa neat stuff. There were people on stilts and people on roller skates. People with their whole arm covered in kandi (aka bracelets), naked sluts (like seriously, like stickers on your nipples naked // although I don't know if the let her in). It was basically a people-watching-polooza. Dealers were waltzing around; to them we're just kids in a candy store (literally). There was lots of shiftily passing 'stuff' to people; like EVERYONE. The scent of weed was fresh in the air. A few "hey, need some pills" were exchanged. Kinda scary but whatever. The place was mapped out with 4 (or 5?) stages for different DJs on hour(ish) shifts. It was an open air venue but some of the stages were in tent-canopy things. Water was fucking FOUR DOLLARS. WTF! There was also a FANTASTIC weird string of light show ... thing. It was like programed Christmas lights that could turn different colors and ... it was just cool, okay? The music was great. Chemical Brothers were REALLY good, even though we didn't stay the whole time. They had crazy lights and psychedelic videos playing. Dancing was SO much fun. It's been a long time and it was so great just to let go. And when everyone is on E it's okay if you look like a doofus. It's kind of a social experience despite the druggery. Like, it's not as a disgusting event as its made out to be. Accorrding to man on E number 428, Nick looks like Jamie Kennedy. Ahahahahahahah. I petered out way too early and felt bad. Nick said that if I was tired we could leave cause I had to drive. I still felt like a pussy. Sorry. :( Then we went back to Long Beach and I spent the night. :) Which was nice. Nick's roomie is funny... and weird; he went to Nocturnal too but didn't come home (and wake up) til late. I woke up and we lazed around in bed for awhile. Left Long Beach at like 1, came home and did nothing.
//I'm pretty sure my journal is gonna be friends only soon. As soon as I figure out how to do that. I totally forgot that it wasn't.
