I know this is kind of a late response, but I figure, hey, better late than never, right? Like everybody else, I will NEVER forget my first roll. It was on November 24th 2000, the day after Thanksgiving, and I was home from school on break. All of my rave friends from home were home too. DJ Keoki was spinning in downtown Detroit at St. Andrews ('There ain't no party like a Detroit party' Hell yeah!) so we made it downtown for the event. This was my third party, and after going to a few and experiencing the music and the people, I was ready to experience some chemical action. Since St. Andrews is a club/concert hall, getting a pill was not going to be very easy. We waited in line outside in the cold Michigan winter weather for what seemed like ever, me staying alert so that I could get myself a pill. As we were nearing the door, somebody was selling pills, but it seemed really shady, so I passed up that opportunity. We were looking for a girl who we knew had some nice pills. We got in and started dancing out asses off, the warmup DJs were pretty good tonight. Time went on and we didn't see this girl anywhere. So when this kid came up and offered my friend a pill she took it and we both jetted to the bathroom. We both went into the stall and I bit that plain white pill in half and stuck the other half in a plastic baggie in my bra. I was kind of scared that something bad would happen to me, because the last thing I need was for my parents to find out about this. So for the next forty five minutes, we danced, and I was anxious because I wasn't feeling anything. So we took a break in a chill out room that had some mellow lights. All of the sudden, all I wanted to do was dance so we went back to the main room. I felt so energetic and alive, so my friends gave me a light show. I was nowhere near to peaking yet, but I didn't know that. Things were amazing. I kept swirling my tongue around in my mouth, and it felt like a worm twisting and squirming. It felt like the air I was breathing in my lungs was a magical purple sparkly cloud. Water was the most pure thing in the world, a magic potion in my mouth. The lights were shooting through my eyes straight into my head. Sitting on the ground, the hard bumping beat was f--king me. There was this girl who had painted her hair all colorful and I wanted to go hug and kiss her just for being so damn cool. I was amazed at how good I could dance, and if I could just jump a little higher, I would be up in the balcony. Eventually the time came when we had to go, and I was still rollin, although not as hard. We sped home in my friends old car, and the lights were jumping out from under the overpasses and exploding. When I got home, I went in to tell my parents that I was home and got ready for bed. I was still rollin a bit, and I didn't realize how much water I had drank throughout the course of the night, so I kept having to go to the bathroom. While I was in there, I noticed my mom had some magazines, and I was compelled to make a collage about my rollin experience. It definitely opened up my creative side. Finally, at like six am, I tried to sleep, and my heart was still beating as fast as hell. Once again, I was afraid that if I went to sleep, I would die and not wake up. Eventually I passed out. There are a lot of things I realize now about my first time. First of all, getting the pill there was defintely a risk because come to find out there are cameras all over the place. After rollin a second time, I realize that the pill I had was pretty weak, and it could have easily been a bad pill. I still have that half a pill, and I am saving it for a good party, and that pill will be my first and last roll. I had always been a good girl up until that first pill, but I will never regret it, but always look back on it nostalgically. It opened up my eyes and my mind. It made me see the beauty in the world that I would have never seen otherwise. Sorry that this was so long. I hope I have helped.
