Maybe not, actually.<\/p>\n<p>I went to a really, really *kickass* party last night &#8211; the last one in the Parallex chain, and E\/S really outdid themselves. Everyone was good, and the last DJ (DJ Treez) was awesome beyond compare. The vibe was definately there.. for me at least.<\/p>\n<p>Think this is probably the best easter I have had as of yet.<\/p>\n<p>I had a breif period, after watching a Peter Jennings special, of thinking I wanted to try E\/MDMA (which has been on my &#8216;no&#8217; list for a long time) after all. But then after talking to one of our neighborhood E dealers (who was very much enjoying it himself) I decided no, I don&#8217;t think I do. He said I would never feel happier than when I was on it &#8211; and something about the way he said it just creeped the hell out of me.<\/p>\n<p>I have to admit, the idea of trying a new drug was exciting to me for a while. But, no dice, it goes back on the bad list. I can&#8217;t even say why.. it&#8217;s one of those bizarre quantitative things.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, I watched a beautiful happy candy kid turn into a miserable wreck when the crash hits. I don&#8217;t think I need that &#8211; I like leaving the party still feeling good too much. I&#8217;ll stick with my own breeds of happiness, synthetic and natural &#8211; especially if that is a typical reaction.. staring out the window looking so miserable that there aren&#8217;t words for it. Mild depression my ass..<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I had a major PLUR hangover today. (You know, urge to smile at everyone, calm, and the beat keeps sounding in your head..) but it was okay. I did another open mic at the LL, I sucked, but I didn&#8217;t even care that I sucked that much. Mostly, I wasn&#8217;t that afraid.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve decided that the next thing my musical entorage needs is some voice lessons. There&#8217;s a friend of <lj user=psyphyte> &#8216;s that gives them, maybe I&#8217;ll give him a try first. Breath control, mostly, I need breath control. I&#8217;m always running out of air, and that&#8217;s no good at all.<\/p>\n<p>So I had at least a day and party of complete freedom from fear.. <\/p>\n<p>Actually, funny aside. I&#8217;m always worrying about my car getting broken into &#8211; my parents were big on worrying about that sort of thing, and they passed it on &#8211; but not once, but twice, I have stopped to get directions or something and then left the passenger window open, and then parked &#8211; once in one of the worst neighborhoods in L.A. (you know, the kind where every car has the Club) and again last night in downtown Seattle &#8211; and nothing bad has happened. This time, my cell phone was sitting on the seat in full view of anyone, and there was not so much as a single call on it that I didn&#8217;t make. And the time in LA, there was not one but two high-performance laptops in the backseat.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;ve concluded that people aren&#8217;t nearly so inclined to break into cars in cities as one might think.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I better get to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, my parents should be happy, I watched the sun rise on Easter.
