Refuge: I'll look for some next time I have the cash. Btw, you might know how to answer something... If I get asked by a random person on the street "do you rave," as seems to happen more and more lately, what exactly does it mean if I answer yes or no? What am I being asked?? Secret raver code paranoia!!

Consume consume consume! Do your research before you buy. I recommend them but you may have certain preferences.
I think the 'do you rave' question is harmless enough.
Translation: "Do you go to parties?
Of course what I would be thinking is: Are you fishing for drugs? Damn English! Why can't anyone just say what they mean?

But do they just mean do I ever go to parties, or do I go to them often? So far I've answered in the negative mainly because I don't want to give the impression that I have more in common with them than I do, but it seems to be bad for conversation since "no" seems to indicate there's nothing further to say... (may seem silly to be concerned about this, but all it takes is a few hundred little social fails per week for ten years to end up with practically no social life...)

They just want to know if you go at all mainly. My normal answer is "I like to go to events and I normally come out for [insert favorite kind] type when those are going on." Like all other scenes we have our subcategories (I fall under Househead, Trance Tribesman, Graver, and B-girl based on my music preferences of House, Psytrance, EBM/Industrial and Breaks/BigBeat).
No worries, it's not a yes or no question, we tend to enjoy long drawn out answers to it! Good way to break the ice with fellow party goers, we are none the same.

Haha, the old-head tradition of not using the 4 letter "R" word!!! I must admit I have the same response then snap myself out of it because times have changed.

I think you hit it on the head. They are looking for a conversation piece to bridge the gap. Try saying, "Yes, I go to parties."

I don't mind if other people use the 'R' word. I have always used it as a defacto.

Spam is like anchovies. It's properly used as a seasoning, not a food. Bacon Spam is bloody brilliant.

My mom used to eat spam and eggs for breakfast a lot. I've had Spam once. Wasn't bad or good.

Got my black sandals and black bandanna to go with my action pants. I got the performers
And I'm going to see Toy Story 3 at midnight with a couple of the cutest girls I've ever met, even if they are taken, that does not make them any less attractive The only luck is bad luck.

"action pants" just sounds really dirty right now...
I want one on them Kevlar hats so I can stop dunking and braiding my hair and the matching sleeves!!!
I'm seriously considering them if they are useful, I know the hat would be but not so much about the sleeves.

ARGH! My first time to be able to pick up my poi in almost 8 weeks and practice. It's so true that if you don't use it you loose it! My planes are crap and I have to go back to the drawing board on some things I never thought possible! Seriously, how did I loose a butterfly weave and yet maintain a 5 beat forward weave?

It is very obvious my friend Karen thinks I'm an awesome person
Only thing is to wait for when she opens up, which I personally would rather try with someone else that is actually single right now And that would be the person that is currently 95% sure she can go with me to the Deadmau5 concert. A girl that will do that definitely earns herself a gold star in my book 
And here's what I have to say about Toy Story 3:
It was completely amazing, there wasn't a part I did not enjoy. It was extremely nostalgic. There were a ton of people crying at the end, the end made me so happy I almost cried myself
I did shed a tear though I was so happy that Disney didn't take my childhood and smear 
all over it like they normally do. The only luck is bad luck.
