Epic weekend YAY!
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.
The Soundproof party, Submersed, was ridiculously epic. Don't get me wrong, most Soundproof parties are good, but this one was one of the best I've been to since T13 last year. In fact, as far as indoor ones go, this one was the best I've been to in a long time.
Everything was just bang on. The venue, the set progressions and flow of the party, the energy of the people there, all of it. I had some serious technical issues, I couldn't record my set and one of the channels from the mixer kept sounding like it was missing part of the sound, so I was deliberately mixing in my tracks on the second CDJ louder than I supposed to because it was sounding so weird otherwise. I'll have to record my set on some CDJs at someone's house over the Christmas holiday (as well as a few other sets that had some fuckups) and post it. It was a great set overall, even with the fuckups that were beyond my control.
I should also point out that me and the friend I went with were totally stone cold sober the whole night, just to make people aware that the experience of the party was with a clear brain. ;) I prefer parties this way now. I do this 95% of the time.
I guess a lot of people hadn't seen me since I cut my hair, and this was my first loud music dancing social butterfly event I'd been to since becoming happy again, so I was unprepared and humbled by the expression of compliments and love that came my way. I had some amazing bonding moments with some of my nearest and dearest friends that I hadn't bonded with in a long time, and also shared some great bonding moments with some acquaintances, which was really nice. It was like I summoned all my possible cute and happy molecules inside and brought them to the surface so I could be in top form for the event. :)
(oh and my friend Laura cut my hair!)
I need to spend more time with Soundproof. ♥
In related news, finished week 1 of the 4-Hour Body and holy crap do I ever feel amazing! I have never felt more excited and relaxed about my life at the same time, since being in Australia. Today is my first cheat day. My blood sugars have been erratic but I've been more on top of it and I feel sick from consuming so much sugar that I can't wait to get back to my new regular way of eating. :)
Well I'm excited because I wake up every day and I feel awesome! There is so much adventure ahead. I'm really looking forward to December with my winter break and Christmas dinner with three of my friends from Melbourne (AJ with my DMF hoodie, yes!) and mom at this awesome all-you-can-eat buffet, yeah!
And I am relaxed because I've just been so "yeah whatever" about things. Not in a way of apathy (well, in some cases) but more in the sense that I'm finally teaching myself to do things regardless of the outcome. I'm not worrying at all about anything. Lack of money? Don't care. Lack of intimacy? Well, that's always a complicated subject. The few true friends I do have share genuine moments with me and so even if by beers at St. Augustine's or by heart-felt emails and Skype sessions across the ocean, this is meeting my needs and am appreciating more of the gestures that come my way. Lack of satisfaction with school? That will work itself out. I like my classes when I pay more attention to them and not being on FB has helped. FB used to depress me because I would get all these invites to things I couldn't afford or had no time for. It's not a matter of having NO free time, it's that I have little say in when I will have free time. I like being oblivious to what's happening in the periphery, it's allowing me to do what I need to do and what I have to know, people will text or call me about anyway! My socialization is less but what I do have is more authentic. I am way more satisfied with that!
Everything will always be okay. Sometimes even, things can be great. :D
