The day started for me by arriving home from werk at 7am and going straight to bed for a couple of hours sleep b4 hoping onto a train for a 2 hour 44 minute journey to London. So as I got on the train at Axminster at 12:04, I was really scared excited cos I was going up to surprise my boyfriend Twigg! I met Mupster, Ross and Gemma at Waterloo at 14:48 …with no Twigg. Mupster tried telling me that he had a job interview and couldn't make it; I was ready to strangle him. We walked to Burger King at the station, with Ross constantly winking at me (I thought he had developed a nervous twitch), and was told to look for a boy with spiky hair and wearing glasses. I stopped ….looked left….looked right….looked left again, and there he was…some dodgy bloke sat on my left. If he had been wearing nick "liquid force's" chef trousers…I'm sure I would have thought it was Gary Rhodes! I had just walked straight past my own bludy boyfriend, not even recognising him!!! Oh well! After catching up on 2 weeks worth of hugs and kisses we walked to elite records to buy muppys FD3 ticket. Afterwards I realised he already had one…but was swapping it for something else later on. We made our way back to Waterloo and caught the train to Kev's house, standing outside his front door I wondered if he would let me in after the beating I gave him at Elation 2!!! Never the less I was allowed in. Ed opened the door, sounding as if he had just come back from a week in Amsterdam. Funnily enough…he just had! We all went up to Kev's room, muppy made his way straight to the decks - no surprise there then! Gemma and Ross leapt on each other and me and Twigg "disappeared".! I was told that st1x would be coming round in a bit so I hastily filled the water pistol I had found in Kev's room ready to attack! "Ding-Dong"…hehe he didn't know wot had hit him! I attacked and he got drenched! Haha! Nat, Tom "u4ea" and some other people arrived and Erica was going hyper b4 we even left! Everyone got changed and decided that I would be the packhorse for the evening. We all made our way to the station at about 6:30 and missed the train! Had to wait for the next one 15 minutes later. We arrived at Waterloo and had a "mini meet up". We went to London Bridges and then got a taxi to the rave. I was sat in the taxi with St1x, Twigg and some bloke !!! He's cute! I got in the peons line then St1x called me over to the Guest list line. I got me Guest list pass then was "very luckily…but by mistake" given a VIP pass!!!!! Nice one security!!!! I went to the hyper come chill-out room and sat there till the other rooms opened. I was amazed at how clean it was…I was expecting me nice new trousers to get ruined but instead they were as new as the day I bought them . The Hardcore Room was opened and the Chill out room emptied! I went straight to the bouncy castles…which was the highlight of my evening!!! One of them died, but was quickly resuscitated by a bloke with a lot of air going spare! They absolutely knackered me out so I had to rest before I went stomping. Trying to bounce on the bouncy castles to the beat was difficult so I gave up. Paul (ush) got lots of piccies so I was well happy! Two pictures Paul didn't get *thank god* was some rather strange occurrences; lets just say it involved me, Natalie, Twigg and Mupster. Twigg cheated on me (whilst I was watching!!) and it wasn't with Natalie!! So I got my own back…and it wasn't with Mupster, with much applause from the gathering crowds! I went and stomped for a while. Don't ask me who was playing…I have no idea! All I know was that when Vibes set came on, I stomped for ageeeees! I went up to the "special peoples" area and it had carpet. Lucky gits! Then St1x lost his VIP pass so he stole mine. GGRRRrrrrrrr. Oh well. The atmosphere was just like at a 10 year olds birthday party with the bouncy castles…but with more crazy stuff!! Everyone was chatting to everyone and there was no attitude at all, just like the security, although they looked mean and scary, they weren't! Twigg dragged me away from stomping to meet Chris-e and pointed out who Uplift was. I bounced and stomped and bounced and stomped all night. I only slept for about 10 minutes on Ross's lap in the hyper room. Went back to stomping. I actually outdid Twigg for once! There was a USH meet-up and Paul took a few photos and then I posed, wearing Joe-Retro's USH hoodie!! I tried to nick it but he weren't avin any of it! What can I say…. I tried! I can't remember much else although I didn't and don't ever pill, although I felt extra hyper for some reason. Musta been them bouncy castles…innit! That was a nice touch FD crew. 5 am came all too early for me, normally I'm cream crackered by the end of a rave but for some reason I could have gone on bouncing and stomping for another 9 hours or so! We were some of the last to go but I couldn't leave without getting my "scooter" vinyl off of Androooooo! Thanks hunny. Proudly carrying it home we arrived at waterloo station, the taxi bloke asked for 8 squid. I said, "oh no, James have u got £2 I only got £6 " the taxi driver looked at me and frowned as I gave him £6.47 for an £8 fare. I got out the taxi and nearly wet myself looking in my wallet still containing a £5 note. I was not giving the cheeky b*****d £8 for a 10 minute ride! Even I charge less than that!! I had to wait in the station for 2 hours for my train down to smelly Devon but after 10 minutes of sitting on the floor outside WHSmith, we were all ushered outside the station and weren't allowed in for 20 minutes. I was jumping for joy cos I was hoping that there was a bomb scare and that I wouldn't be able to go home yet! Worst luck it reopened and trains were running on time still. ASREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Twigg got on the train to Kev's house as did Androoooo and I waved them off. My one was at 7:10 and I had another 2 and a half hour train ride home. Then to top it off I had to werk from 12-5 that afternoon! Arse. I must admit thou that that had to be one of the best raves I ever been to.
