Was great! I was bit slow and didn't get there until 10:30pm, and actually thought (as the door was closed) that I'd got it all wrong! But I sneaked my way in... to find that I was the only person there! Or... that's what I thought... there were 5 other sneaky goths hiding by the bar, none of which I knew...

Anyway, the night picked up to medium-busy within an hour or two, thankfully, and some people I knew turned up.

I spent most the night talking to the intriguing and wonderful Sam, who I've not seen for a while except for randomly bumping into her in the Dev briefly when I was meeting Libby.

Also Rataxis' brother, Josh, was there. He's been turning up a load, recently. He's genuinely pleasant company. I hope he stays around! He brought two mundane friends, who seemed laid-back enough to cope with all the gothness, but still failed to paradigm-shift, and revealed their fundamentally untermensch character when one of them asked me "Hey, do you have any single female goth friends, because I keep falling flat...". Oh gawd. I said no.

I was DRUNK! Drunk drunk! Yay! A large bottle of baileys-esque stuff followed by six alcopops made me a pleasant medium-drunk.

Tonight I done kickboxing and loved it! I came out completely utterly exhausted, something which the BJJ (last night) didn't do for me. I want upper body strength, it's my weakspot. So... boxing. And because I actively like proper kicking, running and dancing, I thought I may as well do kickboxing.

I've got a new phone, it is recharging and being activated, receiving SIM updates. Same number.

Also, Club Slut @ Gossips on Thurs night was great, fantastic EBM set to which I danced muchly, but was slightly out of practice. Thanks to Voofy & Reagan for keeping a few of us company in their house afterwards, too, was nice to sit and be sociable.

I wont be at the Furmeet today.

Went to a one off event at Gossips last night, which some have called Club Impromptu because it was only decided on on Tuesday, therefore no promotion... so was quiet. Which was cool, 'cos I got whirl around the dancefloor on my own, or with a maximum of 3 others from time to time. I spent some extra time in the intelligent company of Rataxis and DJ Psyche, which is something I should do more often. It closed early, 2:30 or so, and I wondered around London for a bit before coming home.

I am presently being made happy and snuggly by a lovely large plushie cat... I've promised to look after him, and I'm told that he's promised to look after me too :-)

Sluts meet was good, didn't talk to many people except a few stars. Including Ia'Kat! Yay! Hopefully I'll see him more at some point over the next few days, whilst he's down.

I'm working on rather quite a lot of exciting projects at the moment... music, web pages and social stuff. But I have to go so sleep soon because I'm going to be up most of tomorrow night too!

I had been up all Friday night, and was staying up all Saturday too. But in the morning, I noticed that Slimelight were doing a three floor special, including free entry for members before midnight. Which convinced me to go! So I got a few hours sleep during Saturday afternoon because I hadn't slept on Friday night and went out to see if I could catch some Camden shops before they closed. I bumped into felishumanus in Camden which is always nice and we went and sat in my favorite out-of-the-way-yet-central cafe and I got food. And a coffee. I've given up coffee for the month of February except on Slimelight days.

I arrived at 10pm and it opened a few minutes later. I knew that there would be some changes because there were 4 dance floors, and I know that they only have 3 actual floors. The bottom floor, sometimes called the Basement floor, which is sometimes rented out to other clubs on Saturday, was the trad goth floor and a dance floor. The trad goth section was inserted by the vending machine slightly around the corner from the bar.

I quickly realized that someone had left a car on the bottom dance floor( Read more... )

Slimelight is the most amazing night club ever in the whole world.

Anyway... after the London Furs meet (read the write up) I proceeded to go to Slimelight with Cayenne. He phoned pennypenny who came along as well. They're both great.

Slimelight was superb. I had lots of energy. Up at 10am or so... I survived until 8am on only 2 coffees (one at 3am and one at 4:30am), 2 chocolate bars (a snickers and a mars bar), lots of water and during gloomy hour (2 for the price of one) I drank 4 alcopops (4 bicardi breezers).

Upstairs until 12pm there was a Black Metal festival thing going on... I missed most of it (it was from 6pm until 12 or something like that) because I didn't know it was on. I walked upstairs and found myself in a room full of people holding up the sign of the devil (horns) to a incoherent, deep growly voiced and unintelligable vocalist with 3 guitarists playing so fast (with the drums) that the wall of sound became a flood of inspiration, ego, power and feel good factor. I felt a bit nervous because I bet any money there were a handful of Satanists there who knew of me, but didn't know I was a rivet head (industrial goth kid) and not a Black Metaller!

The proper sets at Slimelight (until 7:30am) were absolutely superb. Back to back tracks of excellent tracks. I danced downstairs for a while, initially, to industrial, ebm and 80s. But then the will to dance really took over so I went upstairs and danced from 3am to 6am to one the best sets I've experienced at Slimelight. Lots of tracks I knew. I danced like a lunatic, bouncing up and down in a confident and energetic way.

I presently feel very excercised, fit, healthy, happy.

There were a bunch of people in Slimelight that I knew. I am famous for not being sociable. mrmime was there. The people in Slimelight are the sexiest and most eye candy people ever... it's amazing just to look at them all. I recognize a hundred people or so, regulars. However... there are too many drugs (speed, poppers... all sorts) to actually justify getting to know them. I've never done drugs, and I'm fit, healthy and natural enough to be able to stay up for 2/3 days with only caffeine, chocolate and excersize as stimulants.

On the raised platform on the top floor I danced for about 2 hours and went into a superb period of automatic meditation. I have no idea what I was thinking about whilst doing that, but I come away from it feeling very good and clear and brain-organized.

mr.mime commented on that... he reflected back to our Uni days, he said when I danced I looked like I was doing programming in my head because I looked so lost in thought.

I felt good after all that insane top-speed dancing. But I realized as I rested that I'd cut my legs again doing it... I've got a 3x1 inch gash in my right leg on the back, under my knee. This is from the friction at the top of boots as I bounce around. So I danced very slow and smoochy on the downstairs goth/80s/ebm floor to some slow goth tracks.

Whilst wondering around and even whilst dancing, however, I had a single overriding thought. It was saddening... I miss my girlfriend. She's not around at the moment. I wanted to dance with her, kiss with her whilst resting, wanted to make sure she had water and wanted to buy her chocolate. I wanted to watch her dance and to dance for her. I wanted to introduce her to the people who asked about her who haven't met her yet. Just an overall and strong feeling of missing her.

Slimelight has the most attractive people, the most sensual dancers, the most amazing crowd. But... my girlfriend is more intelligent, dances better, is sexier, more beautiful inside and out, more caring. She doesn't do drugs either, she's insanely amazing. She's friendly, happy, strong... but... not here!

When dancing slow downstairs after my long meditation dance upstairs, there was an 80s track I hadn't heard before that they played which I danced to. Just one of the sentences in the chorus was something like "I can't wait to hold you again"... it was a sad chorus. I sung along to it whilst dancing and each time I sung it I wanted to cry. She'll read this and mail me a big *hug* :-)

I discovered that a vague acquiantance called Simon (who I've known through Ia'Kat for ages) was actually born a girl, and changed sex. Which was surprising, as I would have never ever have guessed.

Oh... during the night, I saw 2 of the girl regulars who I find attractive and are great dancers kissing and holding hands. Which made me feel a bit "awwww" and warm inside :-)

I sat around for the last 30 mins (got up to dance to a track or two upstairs, but my legs hurt too much to do justice to the music). No-one I knew was going to the cafe in Angel (and I can't remember how to get there) so I went straight to Kings Cross and returned to St Albans.

I very much enjoyed the cold breeze and walked home slowly. I enjoyed the walk. Normally I walk very fast. This time I kept stopping... once I stopped at the bottom of a tree to admire an amazingly beautiful robotic-sounding bird song coming from somewhere in the tree, although I couldn't see the bird. At other points I stopped once just to look over St Albans (I walk up a big hill) and then once to read the plague near a very large Roman wall from the 2nd century.

I looked for an open Cafe (it was 9am on Sunday morning) but didn't find one. I wanted sausage, toast, beans, egg, bacon for breakfast. But I got home and settled for a coffee and a big piece of fish instead. When I got back my girlfriend was on ICQ (2am her time) so I got to say good night to her. That made me happy.

My plan for today is... stay up until 10pm and get 2 extra hours sleep before work tomorrow to make up for not sleeping Saturday night. This is my normal routine.

OK. Have nice lives.

...my legs ache, my arms ache, I'm exhauseted (but have lots of energy)... my ears still ring.... yes I've been dancing like a raver to loud repititive music again. For many many many hours!

I didn't cause my legs to bleed under my boots like last time... although I danced more heavily. Neither did I do much trance/meditation dancing... I felt too distracted by the extra-cute Slimelight girls who turned out! Having said that by surprise I did trance for 20 minutes or so at about 5am.

OK... I met Joe (who I know via iakat) and two of his friends (Adam and ... er... another one). Adam goes to Hertfordshire University. They were bouncy, perky and sociable, yay! But I was only sociable for about an hour after going in... after that I was dancing too much.

During gloomy hour (10pm-11pm, buy 1 get one free) I drunk... 2 watermelon bicardi breezers and 4 lime ones.

The new (I think) girl in the cloakroom was as cute and fluffy as last time (I really should be more sociable!)

I drunk lots of water, had 2 coffees, a snickers.

I danced very hard! I realized recently I've been going to Slimelight for over 3 years! First time was 1998-spring, I think.

People who were not there who I always like to see: mrmime, meteoroid, iakat... erm I'm sure there's more. Actually I'm not normally sociable with Azziza... I should be more sociable!

Oh whilst waiting around London (I was in London from 1pm)... I bought Wumpscut's new album, "Wreath of barbs" and wrote a review of it for Amazon.

So I haven't been to sleep yet... I want to go to sleep 9pm today (Sunday).

I left my house on my own (iakat left 2hrs ahead of me to meet mattlazycat) at 9.30... and arrived at 10.30 at Slimelight. Enough time to get some drinks during Gloomy Hour! 2 for the price of one.

So I started out by drinking 3 Watermelon flavored Bicardi Breezers and a Lime flavored alcopop (the precise variety escapes me). Then I was ready to start dancing! And dance I did....
