Well, it seems my old page (what a beloved and dearly missed space it was!) was deleted. Don't know why. Maybe a hax...vindictive person, or indiscretion-ate content, which are more likely. Maybe the Gov (face stomping, greedy, nosy judge-mentalists) hates me and my ideals. Maybe just an error.
BTW, WORK IN PROGRESS.
Anyway. I'm Analise (pronounced on-uh-lease, ya know) I'm 21, and I find myself constantly changing and learning, evolving and moving forward. You'll find I am of unique mind and demeanor.
Pretty much all of the photos in my albums are taken by me, unless otherwise noted.
I'm usually pretty timid and shy at first. I can be awkward in social situations, I over think most things, and sometimes I get a little anxious. Don't get me wrong, I love most people, and I can most CERTAINLY have an adventurous, (maybe even brave?) side... sometimes. Slowly and surely, as I get to know the people I'm with, I become more comfortable expressing myself in all of my odd glory. *lawls*
I can be unmotivated, yet inspired; Grounded, yet as spacey or silly as an episode of Futurama. I'm part raver kid, people pleaser, and part hippie; Part stoner, idealist, pessimistic optimist, submissive, and individual philosopher.
I'm all lover and all I want is to see everybody happy. What's the point in being alive if you're not going to enjoy it?
I can definitely be a big procrastinator, and, as of late have been pretty sloppy... slowly getting a footing on so-called "reality" as it is. But I feel that, any day now, I may reach a point of transition and shall find myself more determined in succeeding my everyday goals as well as focusing more on leading myself down whatever path that will access my life aspirations.
I've been told I dance to the beat of my own drummer.
(I'm working on it, down tempo, you guys!)
To me, anything is a possibility... naturally, with a bias towards what I think is rational. =P
Yet, of course, who am I to say what is rational and what isn't? I'm a human organism. One of trillions of thinking, feeling animals on beautiful Planet Earth. There are an infinite number of possibilities in our existence, of this galaxy, in this universe, on this plane, in this dimension... ... you get it.
There ARE such things as reputed overwhelming proof of alien life, or the idea that the bible is pretty much an astrotheological literary hybrid ('Zeitgeist' part one). Even the possibility that 9/11 was an inside job ('Zeitgeist' part 2). And the claim that our planet's oceans may not have originated from Earth... So on and so on... Yet again, who am I to be sure?
Questioning things: It's a healthy part of remaining an individual as well as growing as a person; and evolving in awareness, knowledge, experience, and openness.
I feel that quirks, oddities, and differences are what make people worth experiencing.
Why meet the same person every time you meet someone new?
Speaking of new... new and unique things are exciting and, alternately, amazing and fun!
Experiencing, learning, and evolving are the spice of life.
I'm always open to something new and different.
I'm a proud raver kid. One of many that make up a beautiful thriving community.
A RESPONSIBLE RESPECTER OF MY SURROUNDINGS, SELF, AND OTHERS.
A lover of night in bright colorful costumes popping into nondescript places to secretly dance and celebrate for the sake of freedom, life, beauty, music, and individual expression... along with self discovery, community, love, and accountability.
The greatest thing about the scene is that everyone has a role in changing it... whether it's decorations, ideas, attitude, costumes, music, whatever! It's a society run by it's people ever changing and moving forward. That's EPIC!
A key to thriving in the rave scene is to respect and APPRECIATE EVERYTHING, good and not so good.
Have patience and understanding for those around you who have yet to grow and mature, or let go of ego.
Make sure you're getting something out of the event, not merely another weekend intoxicated with friends. (btw, just cause you're messed up doesn't mean you get to be a douchebag to yourself or anyone else.)
Get to know someone new. Make new connections. (Unity is the community!)
Ask a DJ who his favorite producers are. Learn what DJing is on a technical level... Respect the music!
Thank the promoters and venue owners for being so trusting with the masses and endangering their own safety.
And PLEASE respect the venue or property!
No one wants to have clean up raver scunge from their home like they're your momma or something. Nor does wildlife need more disgusting human parasites destroying flora and fauna like mindless zombies, worsening it's condition....!
Sorry... I get a little pessimistic about humans as a species, sometimes.
Anyway.
Don't say rave to people. We have a notoriously bad rep, especially under that title. Absolutely no thanks to the idiots who are constantly giving us that bad rep. *grumble*
PICK UP THAT DAMNED CIGARETTE BUTT, LAZY HIPPIE! lol
Most of all, love the scene for what it is and can be. Put yourself into it, you'll get so much more love back that way.
Oh, and not to mention, I'm an Ethical Slut.
(READ THAT BOOK!!!! DO IT!.... WHILE I'M AT IT, I MAY AS WELL RECOMMEND 'STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND'... AND 'ACID DREAMS'. READ THOSE BOOKS TOO! :P! )
(Not sure where else to put this...)
Fetishes! Masochism! Submissive! BDSM!
All amazing (when coupled with Safe Sane and Consensual play) and truly a part of who I am!
