The person who took you to your 1st party.. =) **HUGS**
People who dance with glowsticks/Photons (thats me~!)
Using whistles to hype up the crowd
Dancing in front of a massive speaker stack, and watching your shirt flutter with every beat (careful if u do dat! It’s dangerous!!)
Walking out of a dusty warehouse at 8:00 am, feeling the sun on your face, and looking up at a clear blue sky
Trancing watching people dance when the whole crowd moves like a wave
Getting about a million goose bumps the
moment before a song absolutely explodes
with energy
That cold rush when you put Vicks Vap-o-rub on your face
People who bring in backpacks full of
"rave goodies"(THATS ME~!!!)
(Blowpops, bottled water that is actually cold, pixy stix, glitter, etc)
Looking around when you're dancing
and knowng that everyone of those people is having as much fun as you
When people that you have never seen
treat you like their best friend
Talking to a newbie, then seeing him/her
almost every weekend after that
Going out of my way to tell the DJs that they are really good
Having breakfast the morning after with
friends
Knowing what that person who just bumped into you is about to say and you saying it before they do
Hysterically laughing for no reason
Going to another city for a party and
meeting people who ask you if you need
a place to crash afterwards
Singing cheesy songs in line and before
you know it there are about a 100 kids
singing along
When you can yell out "my friend is
puking anyone have any candy??" and
5 hands will shoot up in the air above the crowd with pixi stix, suckers & ringpops
Socializing in the bathroom line
Someone coming up to you and hugging
you after telling you their favourite color is yellow just cuz yur wearing yellow pants
Knowing that if you are in any trouble,
any amount of those kids that you don't
know will come and help you
You can ask someone for their water and they won't look at you like a crazy stranger.. they smile and pass it over
Just the feeling of "if they only knew.
" while they were all asleep"
Being able to hear the bass thumping in your brain long after you've left the party
Being so excited to see the people that you
haven't seen in so long...even though to this day you still don't know their name
Walking up to a complete stranger just to
tell them "I think you're cute" and not have them give you a strange look, like you were trying to pick them up or something.. nah, I was just being nice 
Realizing how many friends you've made
because of this music
Seeing the same kids at 3 different parties
in 3 different states
That moment when someone you've seen
a million times smiles at you and comes over and starts talking to you for the first time
Free parties (my favorite word!)
Strangers who come up to you and tell you that they love the way you dance
Random hugs
