I went out to Ceremony last night, as I tend to do every once in a blue moon at this point. They managed to play only one song - "Crystal" by New Order - which persuaded me to pry my arse off of the barstool onto the dance floor. Personality-wise, I suppose I am a bit of an antiquated relic, longing for music that no one else cares about anymore. What a waste that Ian Curtis killed himself when he could have done much better to kill other people, namely those individuals who worship at the alter of the 4/4 beat between two turntables with pitch-shifters and dare call themselves artists. But I digress...

It was oneirophrenia who had persuaded me to come out. Wordlessly he had told me that we were there to get drunk and I couldn't have agreed more - especially after I had downed five rum and cokes in less than an hour. Of course, it was at this point of full intoxication that I happened to run into schnookiemuffin, finally meeting her in person. Perhaps I'll get another chance to meet her when I'm sober (though, at Ceremony, that's not likely).

I can't say I had a horrible time, though I still believe that I deserve a refund for the awful music I was subjected to. Still, the one immutable truth about Ceremony is that it isn't about the music: this is a social night. The attitude, I have discovered, is that if you want music that will speak to you now that missjoi and DJ Imperium have departed, you'll have to go online and seek it. Being as this is a social club now, my misery was held at bay by the fact that there were a surprising number of people whom I actually liked at the place last night.

So, if anyone tells you that I hate Ceremony, you can be assured that they are lying to you. While I don't hate it, being a musically-oriented person rather than a social butterfly, I'm not as enthusiastic about Ceremony as I used to be. I'll show up every now and again, but my days of weekly worship have come to a close for the time being.

As an aside, if I am out and Joi isn't, do not ask me where she is or where she has been for the past several months. The question is not only annoying, but unnecessary as she has already answered it and those privy to the answers readily have access to them. END TRANS

Amen. I just still find it ironic all these people ask about me yet NO ONE has contacted me outright.

Whatever.

Glad to hear you didn't shrivel up and die from the misery of terrible music. *staple hand to forehead*
