Is it weird that I truly don't like to spend that much time at a show w/ the people I actually came with? I sort of like to roam alone upon arrival and meet up with my crew randomly to reconnect and tell of our solo adventures. I literally cant go to a show with a clingy person because it drives me nuts even though I completely understand that they just want to spend time w/ me.
I agree. especially at a festival. You meet too many interesting, drugged out of thier mind, people. Usually being drugged out of my own mind...you know maybe it's more a case of losing your friends in a sea of people and forgetting where base camp is more than anything, but I digress
yeh i tend to lose them cuz i wander w/o watching where I'm going but those people that try not to lose you...that just bugs me. It's like..."let me go! If I get lost it's my own fault and I'll find u"...thats why it's always good to set up random meetings...at Coventry I met up w/ my friends at the end of the second sets at the ferris wheel so we could spend the third set together and I could tell them of the strange and interesting people I met...like a guy I saw talking to his backpack...weirdo! haha
I've had some of the most indepth, mind altering, hands down most stirring conversations while waiting in line to use the porta-john.
hmm see it's different for girls...usually when i'm in line us girls r talking about how hard it's going to be to squat haha
i think you're just weird... when i go to shows, i like to remember the experience of it all, especially experiences with friends. and you can meet as many people as you want while still being with the peeps you came with. it's not like, just because you came with a group of people you can't meet any new people at all. you put your effort into it, and you can still be around. btw, i'm usually one of those "clingy" people she's speaking of.
haha yes u r clingly but I tolerate u miami because I LOVE u and you're fun!...I think i'm just impatient and hate waiting for a pack of people...if it's one person, all good lets move on but don't u hate moving 20 feet and waiting for the 2 or 3 people who got distracted...let them do their thing and now it's just me and whoever can keep up!
I've never really thought of it like that, but I always end up wandering around by myself and making lots of new friends. It's fun, but it doesn't mean that I wouldn't wanna hang out with the friends I came there with.
yeh i guess i'm a weirdo...i have difficulty spending more then a couple hours w/ anyone....haha i guess i could the car ride as 'quality time'
I hang with the people I go with. For one thing, it's usually my family....like this past summer my hubbie and I took my two eldest sons to see the Dead. We all hung out together and had a great time.
im in between on this one.... im not clinggy but i like to know that im gonna be able to find my friends when it's over... but i have two fests within the next three weeks and i plan on some solo action for the point of my own solo experience...when you meet those crazy people to chat with that you dont know you can be more yourself than if with friends sometimes (sounds weird, but true because you could say something and a friend willl think:where did that come from...i know you, you're not like that ... because friends dont always know all of it and...ahh this is frusterating to explain.., but yeah, the solo thing is good cos you can be in your own little world undisturbed, in your element!!!
yeh I totally agree! That's what I'm saying...don't lose your friend completely but sometimes it's fun to wander alone. I'm a very social person and I really enjoy reporting back to my crew my adventures and hearing about theres. They become exagerated and interesting. I just hate how I do sometimes feel guilty like I'm 'ditching' my friends b/c when I compare the times, I spend more time alone or w/ folks I randomly meet then w/ them.
there is a happy medium... i used to go to raves (which does tie in)- some of them had over 20k ppl.... i would like to wander off.. you know, when the mood/music and all hits ya.... it's good but i went to a few festivals with someone that would just take off for days with random guys that she met, even though she promised not to. she was the type that would say "ill be back here in an hour, WAIT FOR ME!" and you'd wait- calmly, chilling with people or whatever, but she would never come back and it WAS frustrating and annoying.
See that's just irresponsible...if I say I'm going to meet somewhere at a certain time, I'll be there. I can easily get fucked up on whatever drugs and still manage to make myself leave whatever I'm doing to go meet some one who is patiently waiting for me. That's sort of why I dont get people who say they were too fucked up to figure it out...write it on your whole arm! If that's not big enough for your messed up pupils to read, your...well..something really really bad!
