OK, so first of all, I tried to find a thread on this, but apparently the BL search engine, after all these years, STILL sucks ass. It excluded the word "alone" because it was "too common," so basically I got a search on the word "Rolling" in the thread title.

I'm just saying that because I KNOW that this has been covered many times before, and all I see on these boards anymore are repeats of the most basic questions/most repeated threads.

So I'm sorry.

Anyways, I'm not asking for advice, but just for your own personal thoughts. My situation:

I just moved in with my girlfriend, who hasn't done E in years, and we're planning on doing it together. We both like electronic music, however, music making/listening is pretty much my thing, while she... just doesn't really listen to music. I usually roll with one or two other people, so even then, the music gets drowned out with conversation (not necessarily a bad thing).

So we're supposed to do E together sometime soon, but I'm highly considering taking a dose (I'll have a few doses) after she goes to sleep one night. I wouldn't be hiding it from her, necessarily, but part of me kind of just wants to run my own show... IE, pretty much wear my headphones and listen to non-danceable electronic music for 4 hours, smoke cigarettes (which she hates, and I do too, when not rolling), and just generally melt into the floor when I want to, rather than having to compromise as to what/where/when we're going to do whatever. Walk around late at night rolling with headphones on, smoking like a chimney. You get the idea.

The only thing I'm slightly worried about is getting super high, then immediately wishing there was someone high with me.

Anyways, I'm not looking for you guys to say "You should/shouldn't do this/that," I'm just looking for insight as to your experience(s) rolling alone. I've only done it once or twice(rolling alone - I've definitely had my fair share of "normal" roll-nights), but only at threshold levels, and those times, I got more annoyed about not being that high than I did at being alone. This time I intend to do it correctly.

No offense, but IF YOU HAVE NOT ROLLED ALONE, please don't respond. I don't want this thread filled with "OMG, I could NEVER roll alone! Blah blah blah!" No offense, again, but I know that's what will happen if I didn't say that.

Thanks!

Rolling alone is not very fun. I've rolled alone inadvertently where something happened to a friend and he had to leave immediately and I just went home and rolled in my room. You are just going to end up doing stuff like watching a visualizer, listening to music, or talking to people on the phone or online... Not very fun. You could, after all, be at a music event, rave, etc having a blast. Save your rolls for when you have a chance to do something fun.
 
I actually really enjoy rolling alone. I don't go to raves or shows or anything though, so if i'm not at home i'm probably at a house party with a bunch of drunk fucks.

And chitown, did you just say listening to music while rolling isn't fun????

I mean, i'm sure live music is better but some nice headphones while rollin face is always nice
 
It's definitely not fun compared to seeing a DJ spinning live man... You say you don't go to shows so I understand why you don't get what I'm saying, but you should really go to a show.
 
I have rolled solo a few times.. it is chill.. if you are just going to make music and chill out and you will end up with some nice vibes and wicked dreams.

Rolling at a Rave or party or whatever is cool too tho.. I honestly enjoy rolling in an environment where I am in control a little more tho.. if I do roll at a rave I usually like to have a room at the closest hotel and cab it to get there and back.. I try to be ultra careful when rolling in public.
 
OP did you check out the DIRECTORY?

If you look under ROLLING ALONE you will find all the threads your looking for.
 
i think you may get bored listening to music and smoking alone for four hours straight. what about if you roll BEFORE, then whenever youre done being by yourself, tell her to come over?
 
We live together. So I was planning on dropping after she goes to sleep. Then I can just curl up beside her when I feel like it, which would probably be good.

We have some more-than-minor-but-not-totally-major relationship issues too, which I'm afraid might come up while rolling, and I'm really not a fan of trying to deal with depressing shit while I'm high on MDMA. That's probably the major reason I sorta wanna do it solo.

Also, we just moved to a new town, so we don't really know anybody besides each other yet, so doing it with a friend isn't really in the cards.
 
I think that rolling solo can be an extremely pleasant, beautiful, and fruitful experience, albeit very different then say rolling with friends or at a rave. I would never enjoy rolling balls alone because I would feel the burning desire to socialize and express my feelings, but if one takes a more mellow (not necessarily low) dose then it can be very enjoyable for introspection while listening to tunes. I'd recommend it. Just keep in mind it won't be the whole balls to the wall touchy-feely experience of rolling balls, but it's still very nice and completely enjoyable.

I have rolled on several occasions by myself and most of the time, I keep myself entertained with trance / techno and fuck around with my lasers and prizms..

I usually end up jumping on XBOX live and playing COD blackops which is interesting to say the least. 10 minute matches feel like hours of playing and I always go like 29-2....32-5 etc....

Eventually, I do start to come down and become so bored, I just relax and watch netlfix until I fall asleep....



For myself, it is enjoyable rolling solo, but no where near as fun as going out with some close friends.
 
I honestly have to be in the mood to get high with some one like that, to me its not like smoking weed or something u do casually

I used to roll by myself all the time, just listening to music channel on TV, watch Youtube videos, watch a NIN dvd that had some pretty sick visuals

only time i roll with people is if we are at a party and thats the idea of being at the party

i normally do everything but myself, i do however have a female friend that I enjoy getting high with sometimes, but thats about it
 
We went to a concert last summer...mrs. said she wanted to roll so mr. partook...then mrs. said, I don't think so...so mr. rolled solo. Seemed like a waste. Mrs. bumrushed the stage, mr. held back. by the end of the night, Mr's back was all sorts of fucked up because he didn't properly hydrate...looked like quasimoto walking through hotel casino back to room....never again. Rooling solo sucked for us.
 
I love rolling / using MDMA alone :) (and Im surprised a quick search didnt bring these topics up).

Yes dropping MDMA at a rave / concert / club with your mates feels so good but it not the same as getting everything ready for yourself to enjoy at home.

Before dropping, Clean the house, sort out a play list, change your bedding, ensure you have nothing to do the following day, take your phone off the 'hook'.

Drop - go around your daily/nightly routine, pick up a book, watch some tv, lie back and enjoy, pop in the shower, do whatever you want to do / feel like doing. Sometimes I will be pretty active and want to do bits and bobs around the house/garden - sometimes I will feel like just laying in one spot and chilling out.

Im actually looking forward to my next solo drop :)
