Wrong because wonder does not require mystery, familiarity need not be percepticidal, because it's not that hard to step outside. For a week I want a night not to stop, in areas and periods of noise and rhythm an all-consuming parade, and elsewhere also the quiet and removal of the dark skin of sea's edge, for clocks to run but not cycle, and for no light polution to dull the sky.

Well, it's been a long long time. I think Friday night captured the true essence of TAB again for me, and lifted me to a new level of appreciation of life; it was amazing. I don't really know why, most of the meet consisted of spontaneous actions, with the final goal of getting to rhps by midnight. It just _worked_ for me, the entire evening, i haven't laughed so hard in too long a time, and I haven't been on a such a consistent high being around multiple people since earlier tabmeets. The magic still exists. Onward. Let's start at the beginning, Friday morning. I woke up at like 10, cuz my bastard english prof canceled class since he's going to be in atlanta or something and the assholes at the ubc english department couldn't come up with a guest lecturer. Sing it with me: Kick their asses. I put on my grandpa's wedding suit which i had previously borrowed, and filled my pockets with props: a little baggie of icing sugar, a rusty safety pin, an eyedropper, and a spoon. An old grey hat, also borrowed from my grandpa also went on my head. You guessed it, William S. Burroughs. I drove to school and attended one of my compsci labs, which was a simulated group meeting on the design of some large software project. I conducted the entire meeting in a Burroughs accent. No one understood what I was doing, and the ones who did only giggled nervously. I hate ubc computer science. I attended the other classes of the day, and met Merlyn (Chris) after my last class. We found Cthulu (Rowan) in the SUB and hiked down to b-lot to my car. Merlyn needed to come up with a costume Right Now, since we had the brilliant idea of going trick-or-treating.. We went to that lame new novelty store near dunbar and broadway, but we found little more than wind-up chattering teeth, and penis-shaped pasta. Dumb. We dropped Cthulu off at Benny's to meet Zamphir Worshipper (Woody), and Merlyn and I proceeded downtown to this other costume store. Act One, I think, near Robson and Seymour. (throughout the night, Merlyn actively refused my suggestion to dress up as Mr. Naked Except For Sparkle Gel Covering His Nipples And Scrotum.) Yeah. I met a friend from stats this year and a friend from physics last year outside, and a friend from Simba inside. twas weird.. I knew I was in for an interesting night. Merlyn bought glow in the dark teeth and I stood outside, looked at people, and ate some crappy dollar pizza. We went back to his house and wasted time for an inordinate amount of t ime, but it was worth it cuz his mom fed us. Yum. We picked up Cthulu and Woody (serves him right for having a long handle) at Cthulu's house and went trick-or-treating. "That house is on an angle street, therefore it has good candy!!" "what??" We also got a good haul from Woody's mansion. They gave us the rest of their candy cuz they had to go to bed or something, it was awesome! Before that we went to this weird house that was playing organ music with this weird cigar-smoking dude that kept blowing smoke in our faces. It was totally surreal. Woody and Cthulu waited in the car. It was 8:43 or so by this time, so we went to Noah's Pet Ark with hopes to pick up Anna. There was no one there so we went to her house. A note on the door said "come in, the water's warm." We got really scared really quickly, and figured that if we entered, we would do nothing but give one of anna's parents a heart-attack. While we were discussing this, anna let us in. The Circuit (Scuby) and Agata made a cameo appearance at this time, since they didn't get tickets to see rhps in time and didn't want to do anything else. I think Merlyn and Cthulu and I learned from our dealings with Silent Knight outside benny's that listening to people whine about not having anything to do doesn't not help the group mentality. After much urging, we left in Merlyn's car with plans to make a _short_ appearance at Niki's friend's house and then head to freakin' New West to go to Silver Angel's (Tilley!) party. Anna brought her whip, which was played with throughout the night. I briefly considered offering to be her love slave for the rest of my natural life. Short was a bit of an understatement to describe the amount of time we spent at that first party. It didn't even get to the second verse of the Michael Jackson song. We said hi to Shauna, the beautiful Nicola and the illustrious Lindsay Paterson, and leave. Very quickly. We pile back into Chris' car and head east to New West and eventually do find Silver Angel's apartment. As we were arriving, a bunch of people were leaving, including Barbara, Beatle (wow!! Drongo at a meet! Awesome!!!), Joanna, and MY FRIEND PATRICK FROM COMPSCI!!! (at this point, I momentarily freak out.).. as well as a leather clad Happyfish (brooke) (I don't care, it was leather to _me_!!) (i took Happyfish aside and briefly kicked her ass.. ok, maybe not, but I certainly wanted to.) Cthulu was putting on women's underwear in the next room with Bast?? (Audrey, RRRrRrrrrr..).. My curiosity overcame my nausea, and I peeked. Yikes. Silent Knight was there, as well as this other guy who I forget the handle of, but said he knew me. Cool. And a bunch of chatboarders, and some other weird people. yeah. This was also a surreal experience. We left after about 20 minutes, to get back to UBC. I sickened myself with the amount of back seat driving I was doing, and I compliment Merlyn on his tolerance. I think I'm going to voluntarily ducttape my mouth the next time I'm in a car when someone else is driving. We get to UBC with time to spare, and rudely budge into where Reiko and her couple of friends were standing. The mov ie was _awesome_, I've only seen it 4 times in the theatre, and this one was the best, cuz we knew most of the calls. Happyfish took the "servants enter from the rear" call that Harry Sheep (Selina) and I were looking forward to all year! She said it too early!! Mental note: kick her sorry ass up down and sideways. (Sheep didn't come to this meet on account of extreme lameness. ) (We miraculously sat right in front of Michelle, who we were going to meet there anyway. After the movie, all of us piled into Reiko and merlyn' cars and went to anna's house. I mis-count on the distribution of people and send more to Reiko's car. Oh well. Merlyn, Cthulu, Anna, Michelle and I went to the compsci building, and broke in thanks to the elite special code (gah, I'm on that surveillance camera, aren't I? I'm going to get expelled. Oh well..) It was worth it for the Nestea. Ah nestea. Urine of the gods. Whoops, I mean nectar of the gods. What??!! The international boycott on Nestle for their practice giving free samples of infant formulas to third-world mothers, where they are used in lieu of sterile breast milk and made with impure water, causing the infant mortality rate to skyrocket??!! Pshaw!! Look, nestle is a good company that is helping the economy, who cares about a couple thousand newborn babies. I'm happy to help them by purchasing Nestea. We also made a small detour to Cthulu's house to get The Blues Brothers on video (a very poor recording quality I might add).. At anna's house we were met with an angry mob that had been made to wait for multiple minutes while the rest of us gallivanted around the ubc campus and kits. They whip us with anna's whip. I briefly considered offering to be their love slave for the rest of my natural life. We gather in anna's house and Joanna makes soup. Yum. We start the movie at about 3:30am, it must've been.. I don't really a lot of it, but I do remember several people trying to sleep on me, and sleeping on several people. After the movie we don't move. Some people left, I think. Yeah, Happyfish and Joanna (what's her handle now??) left. Oh yeah, Reiko and her friend Sophie left before we started the movie. So by this time it was Anna, Michelle, Merlyn, Cthulu Woody, and myself.. I remembered that I was wearing a 55 year old suit that belongs to my grandpa, and didn't really want to sleep on the floor in it, so I got up and talked to Michelle and Merlyn and Cthulu for a very long time. I can't remember what we talked about, but I knew at one point, I had taken off my pants. Uhh, yeah. Sometime just after dawn, I borrowed a pair of anna's jeans, which were just excessively comfortable, and suggested a walk down to the beach or something. The morning was spectacular. We were hallucinating. Or at least I was. Anna and woody were asleep in the livingroom, so we left them there and walked down to some beach. (if I were a kits-dweller, I'd be able to tell you which one.) Time for a new paragraph. The four of us had a mutual craving for Waffles, so after checking in to see if the others were still asleep, we walked all the way to Whitespot on broadw ay. I was so tired, I couldn't even finish my waffles. Yeah. I stopped myself from ordering a coffee. I would've gone completely insane. That would've been really cool. On the way back, we tried to find somewhere to have me shaved, (my face, that is), but the barber shop wanted $10 for a shave, and the guy was really scary. We left in a hurry. Actually, I'm kinda glad I waited (he wrote, fondling his smooth face...) We again walked slowly back to Anna's house. By this time we had lost all semblance of sanity and tried to bodycheck each other off of the sidewalk.. Anna had gained consciousness by this time, and we invited her to help us find out how many tabbers could fit on her newly-bought bed. Four, we found, plus legs of Cthulu. (I was way too tired to do anything but try to sleep through the undulations of Merlyn and Michelle kicking the shit out of each other - but I do seem to recall something about Cthulu's legs being somewhere on the bed with us.) I know we slept for a couple of hours, cuz I do remember waking up several times being clawed by a cat. Why do cats gravitate towards people who are allergic to them?? Grr.. I eventually got used to the feeling that someone was choking me and went back to sleep.. (i'm mildly anaphylactic.) Cats are scary. They'd eat you if you died. At around noon we woke up and lamers had raisin bran, and cool people fed their addictions with the urine of satan. (mmmm... Coffee..) Woody woke up at some point in here and was irritated that he missed out on our orgy, errr, blissful sleep. yeah. Anna's parents came home with the most ironic timing in the world, so we left with plans to meet later and take in the beautiful sun. These plans, of course, never happened. Perhaps we shouldn't have gone against the trend of the evening/morning which was _carpe diem_. We piled into Merlin's car, minus a now-blonde anna, and he dropped myself and Woody off at his house to get my car. I drove Woody to north van, and then drove home to my house in Burnaby.. And so ends the best 30 hours I've had in quite a while.. I can feel tabnet seeping back into my blood, I love it. Thank you all.

Then I got dropped off at home and had chinese food and went to sleep. That's right, I went to sleep at eight o'clock at night and woke up the next day at twelve-thirty in the morning. And it was that perfect kind of seventeen-hour sleep where you wake up in the middle of the night for just long enough to realise how wonderful sleeping is and then fall back asleep until you are awoken by your alarm clock at 8, because the night before you mistakenly thought it was Sunday, except it's all fine and dandy because you immediately realise that you don't have to get up and just turn the alarm off and turn over and fall back asleep for another six hours and it's that perfect kind of waking-up where your eyes just sort of loll open and the room is still dark because of your wonderfully heavy curtains and you just lie there opening and closing your eyes and then you sort of writhe a bit and all the muscles in your body stretch all at once and it feels completely wonderful and everything is totally smooth and just the right temperature for lying in bed for another hour except then it gets even better because when you go upstairs you get leftover chinese food and hallowe'en candy to eat for breakfast and go back to your room and eat and compose magnetic poetry and then it gets even better because you turn on your computer and call up a local BBS and suddenly you have a bunch of friendly people to listen to and you can tell them all about how wonderful it is to sleep for seventeen hours and then eat chocolate and chinese food while reading other people's random thoughts.
