You know you're a raver when ........

[Donny]

This may be really old to a lot of you but I just thought some of you may not have seen it before and it is quite funny.......

YOU KNOW YOU'RE A RAVER WHEN...

The total amount of sleep you get on weekends is the sum of how many times you've blinked since Friday night.

You grin like a dumbass whenever you see a commercial for "E News"

You navigate around the city using service-stations as landmarks

The most important accessory for being glammed-up at a party is a pacifier.

You can't pass an empty warehouse, big open field, barn, airplane hanger, phone booth, nuclear power plant, etc, without getting that far-off look in your eye and saying "Wow, what a great site for a rave!"

You're willing to spend &#3630 on a ticket for an event you might not even get into, &#3650 for something that might be asprin, but you're not willing to part with &#363 for a bottle of water.

You have the most interesting and in-depth conversations with kids under 10

You are driving your car home and you feel like you're in a video game

You are convinced that a whistle is a musical instrument and you try out for school-band, but everyone just stares at you and thinks you're wierd

You and your friends hear tumbling noises from the washing machine and all start to argue whether it's jungle or hardcore

You have sleeping patterns that would kill normal human beings

Almost every letter of the alphabet has a seperate meaning to you

You've named your pets '303' and '808'

You forget about your dream of becoming a Doctor and start to wonder what it would be like to be a cartoon character...

You are dead against drinking alchohol, but will snort horse-tranquilisers with no prompting needed

You wallpaper your room with old flyers

All your friends have names like Chronic, Astral, Wizzer, Frenz-E, Bunny, X-Sessive...

You have a one-track mind, and it goes Beep-Beep-Boom-Boom-Beep-Beep-Boom...

You carry enough flashy electronic-things in your bag to light a small city

You've got a huge pile of dead glow-sticks in your room because that you can't throw away because of 'sentimental value'

You start to think of Chuppa-Chups as a seperate food group

You don't own a watch, and if you do it's either edible or able to hide drugs inside

You use Medic-Spray as deoderant in the mornings

You lose 10 kilos in one night and the last thing you think about the next morning is food

You can live for an entire weekend out of your backpack

Air, water, food, medic... all hold equal importance to you

You have to fight the urge to beat the crap out of someone who thinks raves are anything like the club scene in Basic Instinct

You think perhaps Bill Gates was thinking of something else when he designed the Internet Explorer logo...

You're happy when there's a recession because it means more empty warehouses

You've got so much glowing shit in your room that you can't sleep because of the brightness

While all your friends are getting married and having kids, you're collecting yo-yo's and trying to remove chewed-up gum from your phat-pants

You've been close friends with someone for weeks without actually knowing their first names

You get home and you've got absolutaly nothing that you can talk to your parents about you weekend

You automatically migrate towards anything floroecent because you think it might be someone with a glowstick

You buy clothes based on texture

You don't give a flying fuck what you look like anymore and just dance, dance, dance...

You can stand in front of a 12,000 watt speaker for an hour and be loving every minute of it

You won't spend money on things you need, but if someone at a party needs a dollar, you'll give it to them

You can wear out a pair of shoes in only a few days

You find it hard to belive that some people dance without taking their feet off the ground

[Adam Brown]

I think you forgot that part that says "I got these from http://ravinglunatics.cjb.net"

[Donny]

Actually Adam I got it from an email from a friend but thanks for the email address - I'll check it out

[Adam Brown]

Most of those ones have been going around for a while now anyway, but I made up a few new ones myself when I posted them on my site... thats how I knew where they came from because those same ones I made up were in your list, hehe

Actually, you're not the only one who seems to have stumbled upon the "You Know You're A Raver" page on my site... in Australian Ministry Magazine there was an article with the same name, and THEY had some of the ones that I made up as well!

Bastards!

[Rico]

Hey I have them up on my wall - thanks adam.

[Countree Girl]

Tis a tad sad that i nodded at over half of them :biggrin:

Awww Shite does that mean i am a "Raver" Scary shite hey!!

*LOL*

[Dr4g0n]

did they send you the mos SHITEstep the album for your efforts Adam?

[Adam Brown]

No, and I was heartbroken

[fantomS]

I made up a few more to add to your list adam
they pale in comparison but you can decide for yourself
I'll email or icq them to you when i get home from work =]

[hitmonlee]

[Rico]

Yeah? We have eyes too, and we wanna see.

[Aikon]

You know you're a raver when ........ you can start to eat thru u'r nose..

[fantomS]

[JusJamminfoldinchair]

You know your a raver when your jaw muscles are so developed you can pull a doggy rope off a labradaur with your teeth.

[fantomS]

Ok here they are: (but I'm warning you....they aren't any where near as good as Adam's and some are pretty similar....but hey =])

You know you're a raver when:

You're always looking for new places to hide your drugs.

The idea of people going to listen to music while remaining seated the whole time doesn't make any sense to you.

You know all 467258934 meanings to the word 'PLUR'.

You can take a trip into town and see at least 10 people you know yet you have no idea what any of their names are.

You know the creators and the meaning to the word 'GURN'.

Your basic weekend intake consists of line, pill, medic, chupa chup, shit loads of water and endless cones at come down.

You scream profanity at the morning joggers from your car on the way to come down.

Sleeping when it's dark is unheard of.

You kick up a fuss at paying &#3630 for a ticket to a rave with 3+ internationals, that goes for around 10 hours when people who go to concerts pay &#3670+ for a concert with one band/singer that goes for around 4 hours.

You make about 2 or 3 trips to central station each week just to see if theres any new flyers.

You separate your supply into 'things for rave', 'things for come down'.

Vicks inhaler isn't just for when you have a cold. (and again for medic)

The four basic food groups are cigarettes, pills, speed and weed.

Plastic money isn't for spending, it's for rolling up and snorting with.

You're quite happy to lick a razor blade just to get the last of the speed off.

Medic bears, sunglasses, water and lip gloss are the basic necessities of life.

You're quite happy to drive while pilling but drink driving is unheard of.

Your nang machine accompanies you everywhere.

You know the exact price of a box of nangs, you know of a store in each suburb that sells them, yet you have no idea how much toothpaste costs or which isle it's in at the supermarket.

Your ID gets used more for cutting up different things to snort than for actually using it as Identification.

You don't think that digimon, pokemon, powerpuff girls and astro boy are for kids, in fact they weren't designed with kids in mind but rather ravers.

You didn't realize your friends actually had home phone numbers, you just assumed everybody only had a mobile.

You're automatically drawn to anything with reflectors on them.

When clothes shopping your motto is the 'brighter the better'.

Your shopping list consists of 'pill, water, petrol, cigarettes and chupa chups'.

You walk into someone's house and comment on the fact that their walls are the same colour as Pink MTV's.

You consider it perfectly normal to have a 5-hour conversation with a perfect stranger at a rave but god forbid a person in the street should ask you for the time.

You ask the patients at the hospital whether the rave where they got their wrist band from was any good.

Your eager to try sex on all the different types of drugs available.

Your Netscape history consists of 'teknoscape','raving lunatics', 'emerge productions', 'Jacen's homepage' and 'bluelight'.

Drum Club is your home every Friday night.

You can rattle off every local DJ and MC's name but you have no idea who the local sports team is.

Being awake for 3 days straight is normal, but waking up at 6am for a run makes no sense to you at all.

Your video collection is made up of trainspotting, human traffic and groove.

Security guards are the enemy.

Your constantly thinking of new things to stick to your T-shirt for the next rave, taking into consideration 'the brighter the better' and anything reflective is cool.

You'll quite happily give a fellow raver your last cigarette, but you wont lend your little sister &#361 for the bus.

You've got 10 different pairs of sneakers in all different colours but only one pair of shoes for work.

You didn't realize that the rollerdrome was actually for roller-skating.

Any jewellery that glows or sparkles is automatically added to your arm for the next rave.

You know exactly how many nangs come in a box but have no idea how many Tim Tams are in a pack.

Monday morning is almost always painful.

Special K isn't just a breakfast cereal.

Shopping centers are an obvious place to buy drugs from.

You know what FDA means and find it hysterical.

Anything with a cartoon character on it is automatically cool.

Drugs or nangs are the obvious choice for birthday presents for friends.

15-year-old drug dealers doesn't come as a shock, in fact you know most of them.

You cry when you hear about police seizing large quantities of drugs.

You don't need a watch, you know it's time to go to the rave when your parents go to bed, and it's time to leave the rave when the sun comes up.

Your obvious choice for New Years is Science Fiction.

Whether it be rain, hail or shine there will always be an 'outside crew'.

Buckets don't have any other purpose than for filling with water to pull buckets with.

Cream machines are obviously made for inhaling nangs from.

Teddy bears are for spraying with medic

Fifty-dollar notes are for snorting with.

Baggies have no other use than for putting drugs in.

Balloons and nangs go hand in hand.

You knew 70% of the people at the rave on the weekend but come Monday morning you can't remember your boss's name.

You've used your mum's old nang machine more times in the last week than she did in 20 years.

You've got &#361500 decks, a &#36400 mixer, about &#361000 worth of vinyl but you still can't afford a car.

Anything white and powdery was made to go up your nose.

Your quite happy to dance for 8 hours next to a sweaty stranger but you refuse to sit next to a person on the bus.

A come down is a natural part of your Sunday.

You think that glass tables were designed for the sole purpose of snorting lines off.

When ever you see a mirror not mounted to a wall you giggle.

the end....
I'm well aware of the fact that these comments don't apply to a lot of 'ravers'....it's just a bit of fun...so no1 take offense....and no one abuse me for mine not being as good as Adam's....no1 can be THAT good

It's funny because it's true.

Funny, and also sickening.

[Curare]

FantomS, the only reason I say that is beacuse we were having this mass dsicusssion about nangs and some of the points you came up with were also in the conversation. S'all.

yes, but I do agree with just about everything on there.....

[stew]
