hello everyone! what a crazy long thread! who knew we were so many?
i am a 24-year-old male in ottawa, ontario, canada. i moved here in february, and started partying in march with a deep and wonderful friend from high school. i had a charmed life even before then: lots of kind friends, good job, love for myself and the world, and a sense of a higher purpose. since i started partying, however, life has just been unbelievably amazing. i have felt so much fun and goodness. of course, only part of this is attributable to e; the spirit of the scene, the people, and the music have been as (if not more) powerful.
i love music; i used to find electronic music annoying, and my preference was r&b / hip-hop / soul, with a high tolerance for acid jazz. now i adore groovy funky house and trancey techno. dancing has taken on primordial importance in my life lately.
i have had pretty good experiences drug-wise. my favourite i think was a pure at destiny (WEMF) in sauble beach this summer. in lake huron at 7 am watching the sunrise after a night of frenzied outdoor dancing, i was in direct touch with god.
lately i have been going out a lot without flipping, and i am astounded at how it can be so much fun in the same way. this past weekend at industry in toronto, i was up dancing until 8 am on the vibe alone. previous to this, i was flipping 2-3 times a month, usually 1 or 1.5 pills at a time. don't get me wrong...i have not stopped, just keeping it special.
i have partied in ottawa, toronto, montreal, and edmonton, and each one of these cities seems to have an excellent scene.
i have not tried g or k or speed on its own, and feel no real lure. i do want to try candyflipping, however.
this board has been such a wonderful resource, both for information and for joy. i have learned so much from you guys, and countless times i have sat at work with happy tears in my eyes, buoyed by you.
thanks babies. take care. love, gabe.
