What is it with those Hanson boys? I'm glad i'm not alone here!! I got a little unhealthily obsessed with them also when i was...14? My room was plastered with their posters (not a bit of my wall could be seen... including my cupboard!) but i don't have any of them left now... on my wall or in storage!!!!
Although, the Hanson video is still at my parents house and i still own the christmas album *slaps forehead* of all memorbilia i had to get the lamest bit of merchandise they ever put out!
You should change this thread to "Closet Hanson fans"
Back to topic.......
Year 7 - was a bit of a loser (wasn't everyone?) but made friends with a couple of really hot chicks who later worked their way into the popular group, taking me with them. I listened to a lot of Bands thanks to my sisters, stuff like Live, Greenday, Veruca Salt, something for kate, etc
Year 8 - 12 - was the loser of the popular group. I was like the friend that got introduced but no one spoke to. Also, i was one of the very few girls in our "popular" group that didn't care too much about status (was still in the choir and school band... even if i did cop heaps of shit) and i also was friends with whoever i liked, regardless of how unpopular my friends thought they were, although what my friends had to say about all this still hurt my feelings. I listened to top forty and RNB with my "friends" only cos thats what they listened to but liked all kinds of music, started getting into the whole happy hard stuff towards end of year 11 and by year 12 was fully into it
End of school (01)- end of 2002 - moved to sydney and met lots of bluelighters! Became a khandi kid, but wasn't too crazy. Did alot of partying in 2002
2003 - now - started to mellow down a little, don't tend to go out as much but still enjoy going to the odd rave. I'm getting into breaks and hip hop, listen to lots of that plus heaps of bands (tuned in the triple J or 94.5 fbi these days) but i still put the odd trancey/happy hard cd on as i still enjoy it.
Basically i don't really think i'm an anything... anymore anyway!

this looks fun ...
3-7: crazy kid, I was a little bubble of energetic craziness, I used to bite people and all saught of mischefous stuff
7-12: rollerblade kid/bike kid, that pretty much says it all (although when I was nine I began to question things, in a very confused way, but I am cetain that is what has made me who i am today)
12-14: hmmm, I don't remember, but what followed could have something to do with that
14: first smoked pot, it was a novelty, would get stoned and laugh non-stop for hours
15/16 got into skateboarding, listening to hip-hop, continued to smoke each weekend, was having a generally fun-time, but underneath it all I felt something was up, was questioning society a little bit (but had no understanding or logic to what exactly it was I was questioning, just felt a little bit like neo)
16: smoking/ drinking continued, until a few friends died in a car accident (well i kept it all up, but something inside me changed) ...I seriuosly began to question life at this time.. grew up a lot, but not completely
17... a few weeks after my 17th birthday I took ecstasy for the first time, wooah that was amazing, it was at a lighthouse (byronbay) .. and me and my friends saw ufo's (seriously!!!) .. well ok, I still don't know what we saw, but they were moving randomly and we ALL saw them, so yeh it was amazing, the sun came up and it was just beautiful !
went down to sydney soon after this and went to my first rave (and probally last), GODSPEED!... was a pretty good night overall, but I started coming down at 6 in the morning and I realised how much I couldn't stand that music straight, it was too hardcore! to much ... bang bang, not enough oinky-woinky, random sonic-stimuli (ahhh, psytrance, the next step along the path)
when I got back up north I started going to doofs ... bush parties that play 100% psychedelic trance, were the people are real, they think, they are nice, they are a generally beautiful bunch of human beings. (clubbers, please don't take offense, i have just had bad expereiences in smoke filled night clubs ok, I obviously don't think you are all like that) but as far as my existence in this consumer driven, image driven society, this seems to be the most compassionate and down to earth sub-culture I have been involved with. if you have been to a rave, imagine that connection you are feeling with the universe ... IN THE FOREST, on acid .. wooah it is simple bliss !!!
so this is where I am now ... i went to tribeadelic for new years eve (3 day open air psytrance festival in the vistorian bush) .. I had a moment on new years morning (around
clock) on the dance floor, and i new that for the rest of my life I wanted to dance in the bush !!! (hahah, I guess if you are reading this your probally thinking, FREAK! .. but so what, if a freak is some one who takes certain substances and enjoys bonding with universe/natural environment .. then I am a freaky freak !
so, im turing 18 in a few weeks .. and everyone is going ... wooah I bet you can't wait to turn 18 .. so you can buy piss ... go clubbing .. bla bla ... well it simply doesnt mean anything to me actually ... i went to a few clubs last year after my godspeed experience .. and each one has reminded me of how ugly the scene is .. how commercial it is ... and how superficial the music is .. errrg, not my cup of tea !
oh, btw ... i actually haven't had a drink of alcohol for almost 8 months ... and I have no desire too ... and if your thinking ..."well you probally take a shit-load of drugs to enjoy yourself in the forest" you are wrong.. I will have one tab at a doof one weekend ... go straight the next ... take a pil the next .... you don't really need to be completelly dosed up on drugs to enjoy yourself in the rainforest ... the beauty is all around you
the future for me, hopefully... finish hsc, work, save, travel ... hopefully have one of those shaman experiences, that sounds nice ... smoke DMT in the jungle somewhere ....hmmm, whateva this beatiful world brings, i'm in
I also feel that I should give something back for how wonderful my life is, so still thinking about it, maybe volunteer work in 3rd world country, not sure ... any suggestions ???

The original punch e punch (TM) came complete with trendy surfwear and kung fu grip action.
Then the manufacturers of punch e punch felt that the product was out of touch with a new generation of computer geeks and pop culture nerds. Market research indicated that alternative rock was the most popular trend among the target demographic.
The new-and-improved punch e punch was dressed in flannel and jeans and came with optional accessories, such as the punch Electric Guitar (TM) and punch Bong (TM).
With the turn of the millenium, punch underwent another image change. The Matel company introduced Clubber punch e punch (TM) into an already crowded market place. This time his accessories included the punch Turntable (TM) and the punch Ecstacy Tablet (TM).
As the trends continue to change, punch e punch will continue to exploit young people by misrepresenting their culture.
Look out for the "punch e punch and The Rockers" CD featuring all your favourite tunes from the animated series. Also coming soon, Aussie Hip Hop punch e punch (TM) from Matel.

Well it's true i think. Everyone who i have ever introduced doofing to or met at their first doof feels the same way. It's like you finally discover what life is about...peace, love, fun, self exploration, nature, freedom and so so much. Doofs just have such a welcoming feel to them and you just feel like you have delved into a hidden society that has opened your eyes and you think to yourself "how could i be doing anything else"
ps...i miss you
Let's see...
I've been through the:
Totally Uber Social Outcast
This was in primary school, when pretty much no-one wanted to know me. I had very few friends, and was just picked on by other kids. This was mainly due to my lack of uniform (we couldn't afford it), big huge thick glasses, 'Malaka' T-Shirt, 'Damn Pigeons' hat and see-through pants.
Sik Mafia Shoplifter
Bout Year 7 I started shoplifting, and selling what I stole at school. Made a fuckload of money, but eventually one of my partners in crime got us busted. Cops scared the shit out of me, so I stopped.
Fully Sik Gino
This went from about Year 9 through to Year 11. I hung out with the uber-wogs at my school and played lots of soccer. Picked up a lot of chicks called Nadia and Maria. Listened to Lost in Love and 'Sik tekno with sik bass RRRE!" Said a lot of words like 'Chich' 'Habibs' and 'Mohammed'
Lazy Mofo Student
Once I realised that the ginos at my school were a bunch of tosspots, I started hanging out with some real people. Well some of them were real, some were just retards. I never really went to school anyway, but I started slacking off even more. In Year 12 I went to a whole week of school *once*. Failed my VCE, still got into Uni (3rd preference!). Don't ask me how. Then I was a pretty typical uni student. Reversed sleeping patterns and lots of alcohol. Mmm sweet sweet 1st year poontang.
Awesome Raver
On my 19th Birthday, I had my first pill. This started my 'raving' career. Met a girl, got really hammered lots. Took shitloads more drugs than anyone should take in their lifetime (I'm sure many of you can relate to this). Got over it, got jaded. Blah blah blah usual Bluelight story.
Me Presently
Right now, I'm working as a Security Guard, and I guess you could put me in the "Too cool for school junglist" category. Basically I listen to a lot of dnb and hip hop. Get really drunk, smoke a lot of weed and think I'm better than everyone else. Works for me, although I could really use a steady bang. Or even a meaningful relationship (It could happen, yeah, and monkeys might fly out of my butt... (Waynes World).
I'm sure I've missed lots, I'll try and fill it all in as I remember things.
Nice work with the thread Taliana

Excellent posts Punch and Schiz, I can't live up to that, but here's the run down -
One of my earliest phases, in primary school, other than cabbage patch kids and nutella was a group i was in called "the chiklettes" (i think we got the idea off punky brewser?) and just used to get up to as much mischief as possible. Graffitti, making fake cigarettes, waging. Getting up to mischief has been a constant phase tho.
Next onto high school in an all girl group, I won't tell you what we named ourselves
I was one of those long haired artsy types, and I would do anything for a toke and a giggle with the girls. Was very much into riot grrl music, hole, veruca, L7, babes in toyland etc.
Near the end of high school I had my 'spiritual' stage, la naturale. Got heavily into energy healing, meditation, past life regretion, wicca yada yada yada.
Then off to do art at uni for a year, got bored.
Life crisis!- did business at uni for 1.5 years.
At the same time I found clubbing(see schizos Awesome Raver above)
now: I've found Graphic design yay! and have settled down into going to the theatre, cooking and other such delights

13 - offspring, silverchair, greenday
14 - 2pac, snoop dogg, bone thugs n harmony
15 - nas, jay-z, roots
16 - mos def, pharoahe monch, blackalicious
17 - smashing pumpkins, slipknot, incubus
18 - glassjaw, thursday, radiohead
19 - ayumi hamasaki, kidneythieves, aphex twin
20 - hopesfall, envy, hot water music, thrice and alkaline trio
so i started punk, turned into a wigger (i think i singlehandedly made it acceptable in my school to be white and listen to hiphop, i copped so much shit) and then went punk again.
full circle

Maybe you guys can help me out with this...
grew up on 80's alternative rock
Teenage years were heavy metal, grunge, depressing music. Was a scared little girl with a psycho boyfriend, i used to steal perscription pills from my parents and get into all sorts of trouble.
When i was 12 i heard my first up beat dance music... LIVE 105's sub-tronic saturday nights... Spin Spin Sugar by the sneaker pimps. Before I knew ANYTHING about music or high energy drugs night clubs raves etc, i used to listen to Aaron Axleson every sat. and dance with glow in the dark nail polish on my hands (candy kid at heart baby), untill i was 15 i went to my first rave (cyberfest 2001) and turned my life around. I'm just average now with a fetish for the old school rave theme (i have alot of old school party kid friends). I'm real big into trance, and the rave scene has gone DOWN THE DRAIN!!!
Now, Im 18, just moved out of the house, and I long more than ever for that old school feel, the good vibes, the love... the good music... I'm lost!!!
Maybe some one can help me on to the next stage in my life, some niche i can get into, make some new friends. Any ideas hit me up!!!

phases
ive been through a few phases in my time, and up until now, ive felt kinda guilty about it, like im shallow or hypocritical or something. but the way i try and rationalise it is, its just clothes or music or whatever and people should do whatever makes them happy (so long as it doesnt hurt anyone) and not worry about whether or not other people think its 'cool' or not. *end rant begin actual reply*
ok so the phases of me are as follows:
years 7-11
NERD. nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd. i was picked on a lot for as far as i could tell just being awkward.
year 12- 2001
a big fuck you to everyone at school (none of you like me anyway so whats the point in trying to be like you?). i rebelled against my peers instead of my parents-theyve always been cool. so basically this was the beginning of my 'goth' phase, where i didnt have any 'goth' clothes per se, anything black would do. started listening to anything with a language warning on it, lots of marilyn manson and lots of very badly applied makeup.
2001-02
had my first pill at the 01 big day out and it was an epiphany. i no longer felt the desire to dress exclusively in black and, at times, flet truly happy. started going to raves and yes, became a kandi kid for a short misguided while-the phase i regret most, not because i despise kandi kids or anything, but now i feel it was me trying to fit into the scene, instead of really being myself. these were people who were nice to me from the start and i felt like repaying them or something by emulating them.
02-present
after about a year of raving, i stopped taking drugs on such a regular basis (more like once every 3-4 months instead of every month-hey i know thats not much anyway) and suddenly i didnt feel right dressing up in nausea inducing bright clothing & plastic kiddie bracelets. i was in sortof a sartorial void, just wearing normal stuff, nothing that really stood out, jeans n tshirt type stuff. and for some reason, i felt like dressing in black again. i yearned for a pvc corset!!! but this time, i wasnt doing it to try and scare people or rebel against anyone, but just because i wanted to. now i consider myself if anything a cybergoth. i like industrial music like KMFDM, black clothes & big colourful fake dread hair extensions, big stompy shoes and the GORGEOUS reflective clothe by dane

and occaisonally the odd pill or to and dance at sublime. i guess ive gone through such rapid and dramatic paradigm shifts because ive always been a fairly insecure person always wanting to be accpeted. i have no idea how long this phase is going to last, but right now im just going to enjoy it and stop analysing and feeling apologetic for it.
ive been through a few phases in my time, and up until now, ive felt kinda guilty about it, like im shallow or hypocritical or something. but the way i try and rationalise it is, its just clothes or music or whatever and people should do whatever makes them happy (so long as it doesnt hurt anyone) and not worry about whether or not other people think its 'cool' or not. *end rant begin actual reply*
ok so the phases of me are as follows:
years 7-11
NERD. nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd. i was picked on a lot for as far as i could tell just being awkward.
year 12- 2001

mkay. Remember folks, I am young, so this can only go up to how old I am.
5-10 homeschooled in new zealand by parental unit. This probably made me smart or something, So they claim.
10 - 12 moved to australia, moved around a few schools, I was useally the strange nerdy kid, the one who only has like 3 friends. It was probaly cause im fat.
13-15. During these strange years, I started out as a crazy year 7, and wandered my way into a depressed year 11. I went through at first, insanity (damn you adhd) then slight mood swings, into a nice bout of gothic rants, followed by depression. Then as I started to close my 15th year of exsistance, something amazing happened. I discovered the fun effects of chemicals on the mind. Within the space of about 3 months, Ive lost most of what i used to go through, and im happier now. Well kinda.
16-? Well, looking at how i am at the moment, I realise I do more drugs than I probably should, dont pay enough attention to my studies, am unemployed, and generally heading my life down the shiter. and yet somehow I dont care as long as I can get my chemicals. Damn, I think im a junkie.

Poll??
Is it safe to say, that the majority of persons who tried E coming from a depressed, gothic, or pessimistic mind were changed for the better by trying E and going to raves????
