It's funny...I've been on this board for nearly seven months, a true lurker for five of those months. Posting like a little *fiend* now. I've seen this thread pop up off and on all that time...and never added my name to the list. Just another faceless name (As opposed to a nameless face? HA..) in a thread, I suppose. Welcome to Bluelight, for all of you new people. Stick around. I think you'll like it here. This place grows on you. It does. I think that a lot of us come here initially to learn more about this e-mazing new buzz we discovered and someone...a friend, probably...told you to check it out. If you pay attention, you learn most of what you need to know about E fairly quickly. Then what? After that, if you stick around and observe, you come to realize that this place has this strong sense of community...and you'll want to be part of it in a tangible way. There are some *totally* down and *kick ass* peeps here. I kid you not. That was not what *I* expected. I guess I didn't really know *what* to expect. All I can say is...it's a brave new world we live in. *Ya* baybee. Enjoy your stay...
Valerie here. {waving hello} 42, but only on paper. If we met, you'd say "No f**ckin' way". I *swear* it's true. hehe...
I'm living in LA now, for the past two years, after spending most of my life back east. Cleveland, Ohio mostly. Born 'n raised. You can take the grrl out of the Midwest, but you can't take the Midwest out of the grrl. But that's *all* good. I tend to see things as they are...a good survival skill to have in a place like LA. A good friend always tells me...Come baaaaaaacck Valerie! You're toooo close to "The Source". I knew exactly what he meant, without asking.
I was looking for some adventure. I dunno. Mid-life crisis of a sort mebbe? Whatever. No Blockbuster Nights for *this* girl. Well, I found what I came looking for. Be careful what you wish for.
I'm "middle management" at a computer consulting firm. I won't bore you with the details. I love to roll and dance...a *total* convert. "What did you say? Classic Rock? What's *that*?" Uhhuh... Ya know what else? I can probably keep up with alot of *you* on the floor too. Ya baybee. "Roll face and dance like a BIG freak." Official motto of mah posse here.
Gimme Trance...gimme House...gimme another bean.
Travel is good...anywhere new. Well, anywhere new that poses no obvious threat of bodily harm anyway. HA.. Good movies are good. Good friends are good. Good food and good drink are *always* good. Bong hits are *very* good. Ya know...the usual stuff.
See ya around the board and I hope to meet some of you someday too! Lot's of socializing comes out of this place. Feel free to say hello when we cross paths here. I'm easy...but I'm *not* cheap.
