I think being part of BL creates a bond between alot of us. Its not that we are better than others, just that we often feel closer.
I have not been a BLer for all that long, but I can understand how when meeting people finding that someone is from bluelight is exciting, putting name to face and knowing that there is a solid way to keep in contact, rather than meeting a ramdom face that you may never see again.
I also believe that BL is something that we have in common, we share views and respect eachother even without every meeting- true respect is something really special and rare these days.
And its not that *non BLers* are less interesting just that after talking to particular people for awhile on bluelight, we can understand eachother as friends, not people we know nothing about.
All this being said I love to meet all different people from different places and make new friends, but it's still comforting to know that when you meet a BLer that you have previously read or wrote to you feel like you already know them and chances are that they know you too, its a comfort that you get from old friends.

nods and agrees totally with B.T. :)
i havent been out much in Sydney for the last four to eight months.but i know what attitude and clickyness is around. i have friends who arent Bluelight who i do bring to events such as Two Tribes and Utopia etc...they introduce themselves and BL's say hello...then thats it...the conversation stops and they are left there thinking...'gee thats a nice welcome, and these guys are good friends of yours?'
my non-bluelight friends always seem to be the ones who make an effort to hold conversation...or even start one...otherewise they just blend into the background for the rest of the night :(
but what i will say on a POSITIVE note...the bluelighters they have met and had chats to bout issues in drugs and other stuff,my friends have benefited from them.they may not hold an on going friendship with them but they know that the info given and concerned shares arent only on there minds...but also others.they know that if they want to chat again then some BL's are approachable and will give up their time for an issue of concern or just a chat.
 
I don't entirely agree with BT. Although I'm happy to talk openly and honestly about drugs often the topic can become boring and stale but let me qualify this. If you contastly talked about one topic lets say cars all the time and nothing else with the same people then it comes to a point when you have nothing to say.
My previous post was really aiming at variety. I obviouslly spend quite a lot of time on BL and many of my friends are also BL's and as friends I want to talk to them about a whole raft of topics from world piece to the mechanics of footwear design to how much I hate PvD ;) . As for new BL's speaking to me about drugs that's all good as long as there willing to listen as well as talk (Which is not always the case).
So I guess my point is that BT is right but only to a certain point, yes this is a board dedicated to drug education and many of the people we meet from this board want to talk bout drugs but lets not forget that there is much out there in the world that you can talk about especially on drugs ;) .
 
sometimes i just don't want to get stuck in a conversation, with a new bluelighter or a random. although i confess that sometimes i would rather talk to randoms than new bluelighters (ones i haven't met yet), not because i don't like you people, but because i don't feel like living up to/refuting the preconceptions that some BLers undoubtedly have about me before they've got to know me. i'm not really comfortable with people knowing that "that's DQ" before they know my real name. i don't go to parties to meet bluelighters, i go to parties to have fun and maybe meet some people, BLer or not i don't care.
all of that said, i am elite so it's ok to be elitist, right? ;) haha no seriously if you happen to find out who i am and see me at some event, do come up and say g'day. just make sure you ask my real name ;)
"DQ" ;)
 
I partially agree with Airwalk and DM:
I didn't say people HAD to talk about drugs, but I just don't think that people should frown at the thought of a conversation that eventually leads to drug issues, or entirely revolves around the topic. It is my opinion that discouraging conversation about drugs is equivalent to making it a taboo topic, which it already is in the wider society.
If someone's entire range of conversation with you extends only as far as 'wots your name, wot have you had...' then reach for your taser and light em up safe as fuck. ;) But perhaps this is symptomatic of people being overenthusiastic about drugs and/or bluelight.
You've got to remember that a fair percentage of bluelighters don't read up as much as you do, and as a result, they know surprisingly little.
I'm certain that not everyone wants to read about esoteric aspects of exotic chemicals or neurochemistry, but isn't it the business of anyone who identifies themself as a Bluelighter to educate themselves about their drugs and drug use? I thought that was what we were here for...
So, when the only thing you've got in common is drugs, and you've tried to pass on as much information as plausible, the whole thing gets a little past its used by date.
Surely it is the things that you do not have in common that provide the most interesting conversation? Drug conversations seem to me to be a lot like the drug discussion board posts - some are quick and blunt, some are long winded and cover a lot of ground, some are full of urban myths, and some conversations actually teach you something or make you see a new point of view.
Anyway, my point was - please don't discourage people from talking about drugs. One way or another this site depends on it. Without drug talk - the Bluelight you love would not exist.

decimal dan:
good point. its just too hard with all the new people coming on all the time and creating their own groups of friends. i find myself just reading more posting a lot less. doesnt bother me tho, its hard to retain some friendships on BL if u leave it for a while...its growing too fast.

Bluelighters snobbing people off because they arent bluelighters is retarded. Who would do that - and why would you do that?
Most of bluelighters are ravers - and one reason why they may enjoy the scene is the way everyone is so nice to each other ... the atmosphere, the ahem, "plur". For someone to say they love the vibe and then snob someone off IN the same atmosphere is a bit hypercritical.
Being a bluelighter doesnt make you a better person, it doesnt make you invincible. It doesnt mean you know everything about the scene, and some of the time it doesnt even mean you know any better about drugs. (Come on guys, who just looks in events and social, and havnt touched the posts bluelight is REALLY for) If you want to meet new people, learn new things, get connections/contacts etc... find people who enjoy things you are into - then why would you snob someone who is at the SAME party, enjoying the SAME THING as you are.
Why do people introduce themselves as bluelighters? I always wondered this. Who cares if you are a bluelighter. When I first hung around bluelighters, I didnt know bluelight existed. They all seemed warm and welcoming. Whenever someone said to me "Hi im blahblah, on bluelight" i think in my head, " *SARCASM* cool ... congratulations ... " and personally I feel it is a bad way to start a conversation. What do you say back? It usually starts conversations which revolve around
1. Bluelight posts
2. Mirc
3. Drugs ie. "So what are you taking tonight anyway"
How many conversations about the above topics do you wish to hold? Does every bluelight crave to have the same conversation in variations?? Is it REALLY that hard to figure out a different topic of conversation?
I always dwell on people who introduce me as a bluelighter. I personally would rather someone see me instead of seeing me as a bluelight nickname.
To bluelighters who DO snob people off for not being a bluelighter - PFFT ;)
and those who GET snobed by bluelighters - MEH! Their only friends are probably all bluelighters, and who needs company of an egotistic drug taker anyway.
:)
 
i agree with MoW^WoW totally, the first night i met a few bluelighters i introduced myself 2 them & hung out with them the whole night *hugs KDM 4 the massage & helping Pundi & Munchee with the chick spotting, remember the chick with the white pants hahaha*
i used to go out with ppl & meet other ppl there & it has changed a bit but because there are so many bluelighters i can have a chat 2 them knowing i can message them later on unlike complete strangers where they give u wrong numbers etc or turn around & use their drug use as a means not 2 talk 2 u after the fact
i love meeting ppl & that will never change cos im in an industry where thats all i do everyday is meet new ppl if i didn't like it i wouldn't be in the industry
igained friends by being polite & if they didn't want 2 talk 2 me then i would tell them 2 have a good night then leave them alone
on the senario of bluelighters snobing 'non-bluelighters' off, i've had that happen with a bluelighter 2 me & i was completely insulted, i introduced myself & wanted a chat when this particular bluelighter said their name then walked off b4 i even had the chance 2 start a conversation, i've lost respect 4 this bluelighter but i will never mention their name in case this person is a good friend & wasn't having a good night & didn't want it 2 be spoiled by some1 having a great night

i love meeting new people.. whether they be from bluelight or not i treat them the same... unless i hate there guts or they punch me :) ........
 
posted this in the original BEACH PARTAY REVIEW post... thought it might need to be incl. here tho...
"GEN---> argh, u mean some ppl. didn't experience the warm fuzzy glo of pure 100% PLUR that was thick in the air that day/night? poor poor poor creatures!
i must clear my name however (human nature... :p)... i spoke to xavier for a good 1/4 of the night (i even know what book he's reading atm 4 gawdsake!), and rowan was my glucodin-mirror-buddee... neva let anyone tell you that white powder is only for sniffing, mwahahahaaaaargh! as for the other non-blers (mental blockage) i'm sure i was attatched to them at some stage of the nite...
i really have no qualms about this bl thing. i only get a lil miffed when ppl assume i'm a certain type of person bc of it, or even when blers presume i'm a certain type of person bc of my nic (omg, not ALTERNATING CAPS!!! ARGH!!! save us all! oh the humanity...)"
i think you get wot i'm sayin from this... :D

Well, as everyone knows, i'm not at all cool but I admit being guilty of ignoring non-BLers at the first few meetups I went to because the reason I went to the meetup at all was to meet the faces behind the comments.
If I've been in the right frame of mind and I remember an amusing anecdote of yours I'll probably ask you about how/why it happened. I've got lots of questions and I only really get to see most of the BLers every month or so and I want to meet as many as possible so I can carry conversations with them on here and actually know who I'm talking to.
(after reading that I realise it's not remotely structured properly but I'm still a bit scattered)
