House music and home fries.....

Yeah so, I spent my evening studying for a sociology exam, that was eventful. Then I spent my morning, taking preformentioned exam, that was ew, then I came home and ate the awesome brekkie my friends made, was all quaint and picnic like, ( see attached pics)

I got a myspace message from Mo today, Not gonna lie, these little headgames with girls are really starting to do my head in...I see myself getting more and more jaded every day, every chick, sometimes I guess I am starting to understand maybe why Erin is the way she is...maybe not...I guess I just cant help my bitterness, my distance, my distrust. I dont want to become like her, but I am scared that I will.

I hate feeling unappreciated.
I definitely hate feeling disposable.

Its hard to not take myself so seriously, when I feel like people just suck me dry like a sponge, walk on me and treat me like a doormat...

people suck....

but then there are picnics, which make me feel like a dick for even saying that...

but yeah, the general population,
sucks.
meh...

More on my imminent depression, coming soon to a blog near you.

Well, today I spent most of my day in a sleep filled coma, but when I woke up I pretty much got a booty call, who says sex cant cure misery, it is definitely a good temporary fix....Its my birthday today....and at 1am, Febuary 8th, It appears that it is off to a good start...one hour in and BAM, Im getting it, and getting it good....who could possibly complain about that? My car, still dead, most definitely the transmission...but for now I have a distraction, which is in the shape of a big loud orgasm....nice. I'm not gonna kiss and tell here, doesn't really matter who, but to say the least, it was unexpected...

I also managed to work things out with Mo, my friend who I unintentionally lashed out at yesterday when I was at the peak of my stress...I was kinda worried about all that...But all is good with that...

Jillian is supposed to come hang out, I'm pretty sure that had there not been 36 inches of snow between us, she would have been here by now....I'm kinda pumped that I managed to break the ice on that one, she seems like a cool chick, and well, we shall see, at least I can talk to her now, dont know why girls make me shy someitmes...its so not like me, because usually I am so blunt and bold, but there are the select few that make me get all dumb, or at least feel like I am dumb...

My living conditions, the who what and where of my home life....

Over the last 5 years, I have lived in 2 houses. Actually, one was more of an apartment, but now I have the luxury of living in a house. Its not a a bad house. I live on a one way street, which is annoying at times because well, when I have a house party, my friends tend to dominate just about every parking spot in a 3 mile radius....They my neighbors however, seem to not mind so much about the constant bassy wobbly noises which emit from my 3 story house, starting at all hours of the day or night....They dont even seem to mind that from time to time, usually somewhere around 6am on any Friday or Saturday night, A plethra of brightly colored fucked up little ravers start creeping up the street and into my house, and usually camp out in my house until I get sick of looking at them sometime Sunday night....anywhere from 60-150 people on an average weekend tend to squeeze their way into my humble abode.....

On the weekdays, I would like to say that things quiet down...I have school, Skoots has work...but really, my house tends to have a revolving door where people just kinda make their way into and out of my house....friends coming over to practice for an upcoming party, or just to lay down some tunes and hang out....We have a bustling little household, There is almost always someone in my house who doesn't really live there...My house seems to sometimes be the refugee camp for UFO, Baggy pants wearing kandi kids and dj's and whoever else shows up....Sometimes it is a little frustrating, because at the end of the day, everyone wants a little peace and quiet, but honestly, on the rare occasions when my house is truly empty, the silence almost is deafening, and I almost feel lonely if someone isnt around....Ive grown so used to having so many people around me all the time, that when my house is empty, I kinda dont know what to do with myself......


The Inhabitants.....Past and Present

My house does sometimes seem to have a revolving door of inhabitants....not really though, but sometimes...Currently living in my house are me and Skoots, and Drea....description to follow....In this house, the past inhabitants over the last year were Red Hat Nick ( who only just moved out recently...because one of my ex's caused him to loose his job and he couldn't afford it anymore...Tika, Official member of the Tripod of Evil She left because she wanted a quieter life, and for a short time she and I just weren't seeing eye to eye anymore, Mostly because I got blindsided and sucked into the bullshit reguarding my ex, AKA - Eryn Evans (I am sure at some point I will describe the "Eryn Syndrome" For now though, I am going to save that for another day)


There have been others, In this house, and well, when I get into describing the 3 years we lived in the COMPOUND ( my old apartment ) you will get to her about some other people who lived with all of us...The Compound stories are really some of the stories of pittsburgh rave legends, and really, I dont know how none of us really ended up in jail, or worse, for some of the antics we pulled off there and yet somehow managed to get away with, I'll get to that a little later...For now though, I am, going to describe my current house-mates....

Right now we have a happy little community, and for the most part me and my roommates seem to be meshing pretty well...

Skoots Is a goofy little fucker, who more often than not manages to get drunk from time to time, and amuse the shit out of me with his quirky silliness....Skoots is the kind of guy, who sometimes is too nice for his own good...But I have alot of love for this kid...he pretty much nursed me back to health a couple of years ago when I really had a mental breakdown because of a bad breakup...he would sit on the edge of my bed, trying to force feed me Ramen noodles because for about 3 months I was so broken I wouldn't even eat, Or he would tuck me in and just make sure I was ok. Skoots is probably one of the most dependable roomates I have ever had...He pays his rent on time, cleans the house and the only real gripe I ever have with him, is his unending, never changing, ridiculous love of Hardstyle...I swear, Hardstyle to me sounds like 2 sneakers, (sometimes 3) bouncing off the insides of a tumble dryer...I hate it...just not my thing...I much prefer him to play Drum n Bass, He is way better at it, and it doesn't make me want to smash my face into a wall and knock myself into a coma....he is a good DJ' I'm not saying he isnt, but damn, hardstyle isnt my cup of tea at all....Oh and he is awesome for doing boy jobs like taking out the trash, and shoveling....and helping to clean around the house- SKOOTS=NOT A SLOB, this is awesome! He really is one of the best roomates I have had, he puts up with my shit, which is admirable...and all around is a pretty awesome dude.

Drea- She now she isnt a DJ at all,
I think she is the first person to ever live in my house that wasnt some sort of DJ She is a raver of sorts, She popped into the scene about a year or so ago, or at least that is when I met her...She is a pretty cool chick, She ebbs on the side of the dramatic from time to time, but I mean, who doesnt....She is still climbing the social ladder, and getting to know the ropes, I think that once she has been around us all for a bit longer, we will mold her into a good and proper little rave minion... She already helps out alot at parties, and I think she sees herself becoming a promoter at some point, I think she just needs to give it a little more time, to get herself out there to become whatever it is she plans to become.

Me....Ill write about me in more depth later, long story short, I moved here 5-6 years ago from Scotland, I am loud and obnoxious, but in a cute and endearing sort of way....I play Bassline, Electro and House ( the good stuff ;P) I have a radio show I do twice a week from my college radio station, I throw parties, I just love bringing people together....And every party I have thrown has been pretty epic...Me Tika and Eryn founded Sisters of Sinister ( an offshoot of Sinister Movement) a few years ago, and ran a clubnight called One Night Stand for awhile, That was pretty fun, and always interesting because EVERYONE got hella drunk...$6 pitchers....seriously, kids would just put straws in the pitchers and drink until oblivion....We would book a handful of local dj's and just jam out on a Tuesday night...and we still managed to pack the place...which is impressive for a Tuesday night. I'm sure many jobs were lost due to the fact that half of the burgh was almost certainly hungover the next day....

I'm tired of writing for now....there are many many more players in this debauchary of ravelore which I am sure you are going to continue reading, once it begins to get a little more interesting....stay tuned, My day has only just begun...its the morning after the shitty day before, and Im pretty sure that by the end of the day I will have something to bitch and moan about...

till then
ciao


Below, pics of some of the people mentioned.... once the pic uploader works again

2 days before my birthday.....this isnt supposed to be like this....

A day in the life

I wanna say, that in reality, I am totally going to protect the names of the innocent here, but reality is, I'm totally not....

I'll start with describing myself, I am Jaime, but most people just call me J-me. Im going to be 31 on Monday, but really, I like to think that I have the mindset of a 22 year old, and I look pretty young, because well, I have about 200 multi-colored braid extensions in my hair. I currently live in Pittsburgh, I moved here about 5-6 years ago, from Glasgow, Scotland. I am a loudmouthed, outspoken bitch, but my friends all over look that, and pretty much accept the fact that that is just the way that I am, and frankly, when my rage isn't directed at them, I think they admire the fact that, I am that person, who will always call you out when you should be, I am the person who says the things that everyone else is thinking, but no one else has the balls to say. I have lived a pretty amazing life. I have traveled the world, and seen many things in this short time on this planet, and I have experienced more than my share of bullshit along the way. I know that this may sound pretty egotistical, but I am a pretty amazing person, But I am human just like everyone else, I have made many mistakes in my life, and I have also been the recipient of the mistakes of others.

Right now in my life, I live in a house, with a bunch of other Dj's, and I spend alot of my time throwing epic ( and sometimes not so epic) parties, in a close knit scene of ravers, who over the years I have grown to love. One thing in my life I know, is that I am blessed, to be surrounded by people who love me, and for the most part accept me for who I am, even when I am on my high horse. I earned that, I believe that I do... My friends are my family, and I love them dearly. In the last 5 or so years I have met some of the most amazing people, and I have experienced some of the most insane antics, that when I look back, have not only made me who I am, but have also provided a source of entertainment, even through the tears...at least in hindsight. But I have also experienced a grand amount of pain, which I have tried, to keep from making me jaded....

Another thing that you should know about me, Is I am a lesbian....I am lovingly referred to as the "lesbi-pimp serial fister" I am pretty open about my sexuality in my social life, But in school, I kinda keep that shit to myself... I figure, I have been fortunate enough to be accepted in my social life, and I just dont out myself to people who dont really have any real impact on my life, because well, frankly, I dont remember ever really giving a shit about what people think of me, and my sex life is pretty much my business, Its not by any means a secret....but well, I dunno...But yeah, I tend to be a pretty hot commodity around these parts, I think my outrageous personality kinda draws people to me, and before you even go there boys, I am all about the ladies, and no, you are not gonna be that magic cock that is gonna bring me back to the dark side of breeder sex, fucking girls is what I like to do, and dammit I do a real good job...

Do I have a big head? of course I do, I earned it, but behind my rockstar mentality, I am just as insecure as the rest of you, but I believe that if you get everyone else to believe your hype, eventually, you start to buy it too. at least on the outside......but inside I am a sweet sensitive girl, who has got caught up in alot of things, but hey, if you cant make fun of your own mistakes in life, what the fuck else can you do, but rot....Some of my friends call me the storyteller, because my over-embellished stories and outrageous anecdotes are often the source of laughter, when all you think you can do is cry....We all party, we all have our vices. We laugh, we cry, we fight and yet, something always brings us back together....and we have a lifestyle, its probably way different from yours, things you could never really see, but here I am, giving you a window, into the Scene, Our Scene, We protect it, we love it, and we live by it, and it really has changed all our lives....It is my family.

Many times throughout my life, I have been told I should write a book, I'm sure one day, when I feel my story has come to an end, I will, because contrary to popular belief, my life isn't all about the party, the party is what gets me through my life....my Monday to Friday is just what I do to fill the space between my weekends, where my real life begins.

What I write about, is most likely going to be the rant of the century, but I think my personality puts an interesting spin on things, and my perspective, tends to be on the elaborate and dramatic side, fun stuff really.... I dont know, read on I suppose, I'm sure it will be enlightning
