No, not what you think

I was on the bus yesterday and there were these 2 young girls and they had this cute handmade jewelry on. Bracelets, necklaces and earings. SO CUTE! I asked the girls where they got the jewelry and they said it was called Candy and that they were ravers and that they made the jewelry and that the ravers trade bracelets and I just loved it so much and she asked if I would like one and I said YES!!!!!


So she interlocked her fingers in mine and she transfered the bracelet from her arm to mine It is made of clear and white beads to signify my purity and sinless nature Later on when it got dark I discovered that a few of the beads glowed in the dark, just like me a star in the darkness

Anybody else seen these kids. Love love LOVE their cute bracelets!

When I see kids (over the age of, let's say 15) with Candy on I immediately assume they are drug addicts.

Candy Kids gross me out.

But your story was lovely!

I never even heard of it before. I'm behind the times I guess

One of these girls was a sober raver and the other you could tell was a really good girl underneath the glam

GURN, BABY, GURN!!

people still rave

isnt that so pre-2000?

I have never heard of this before.

JustErin said:

Gurney? Is that what you're saying?

horatio said:

I know. But people do still actually rave.

The scene here cracks me up. Bunch of 30+ year old dudes spinning and a bunch of 14 year olds cracked out dancing with their glowsticks and pacifiers.

JustErin said:

What's spinning?

I am curious...would these kids be dressed down club kids?

Nevermind...I found my answer what is the difference between the two.

No, "gurn" is what we, around these parts, call kids that are half dead and sweaty and zombie-like while high on drugs at a rave.

We call it "gurning".

MoniGram said:

They dress like giant toddlers. Bright colours, endless plastic jewerly, they suck on pacifiers, play with glowsticks...

Basically, it's a culture revolved around E. It's very sweaty, dirty and touchy feely.

I'm sure there will be some that say some of these parties are clean...but I have never seen that. It's also typically a very young crowd.

JustErin said:

Are you a candygirl? How do you know all this?! I feel old now that I had no idea

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Omg.

DJ'ing.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I've seen it all, baby!

JustErin said:

D!

JustErin said:

Thanks Erin...I see that they are far different then the club kids....but also very interesting.

JustErin said:

Spinning can also mean someone who is totally out of control high.
As in , "OMG Britney, he is so spun."

JustErin said:

On the flipside tho, is that I'm holding on pretty damn well for 38 There were a few guys in the back of the bus, one was 40 and the other was 43 and they were tore up from the floor up from hard living and I was like Damn! I am only 2 and 5 years younger than these guys and they are missing teeth, baked from the sun and look 10 to 20 years older than they really are!

I'm still getting carded so I'm very thankful

evenstar3 said:

How sad for me I got all excited then

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

evenstar3 said:

I never heard of it nor seen it. I was a Candy n00b

Rhondab said:

Yes, it's pretty much a white people thing.

Yeah, the whole things seems silly but at least it's about love and sharing, even though it may just be superficial.
