Its new years eve on 1999. I'm round a mates house with a load of others getting ready for the nights activities, namely some JD, some acid and some pills. Eight o'clock comes and we're all getting pretty pissed, the music is playing, people are dancing and some drunken fool has piled up a selection of mattresses and duvets out the back and is proceeding to repeatedly throw himself out of the second story window onto them. This caused great amusement for a number of people inside and eventually lead to him doing it in his boxers with a table cloth tied round his neck, superman stylee.
Anyway so its just gone eight and we decide its about time for some extra mind alteration... 2 pills, a couple of tabs and a nice big fat J each. This, we decide, should add that extra element of fun to the evening. It was great. After half hour or so we started coming up off the pills and dancing our asses off. More J's more JD's and the evening continues...
Now as far as i can remember this was the first time i did pills and acid together. I can remember it being great, twelve o'clock came and i remember running around like a lunatic kissing random people and being generally drunk and loved up whilst doing the happy new year thing with everyone possible. Sometime shortly after this my mate approaches me and challenges me to a few rounds of tekken. We head upstairs to one of the spare rooms and proceed to attempt to play playstation. I say attempt because as i'm sitting there on this huge ass comfy chair rolling myself a big fat joint in preparation for the ensuing battle, i remember thinking to myself. Hmmm, this acid isn't great? I've had a wholely good time on these pills (at this point they were starting to wear off) but nothing too trippy about the evening so far.
Then i looked up.
This is when i noticed the wall breathing at me?
Hmmm, i thought to myself again, walls don't generally breathe do they?
Then my slightly bemused brain figured it out. Aha, the acid! The pills must have put that shit on hold...
Needless to say there was no Tekken. In fact apart from a brief visit from some random partygoer(who found us both laying on our backs on the floor laughing our asses off and pointing at the ceiling) i think that all that happened to us between this time and about three o'clock is that we layed on our backs on the floor and laughed our asses off at all the gecko's we could see running around on the ceiling!
Now at about three o'clock, we'd calmed down a little and been through the worst (or best if you're so inclined (and i am)) of the madness, we decide that it would be nice to go for a walk. Its nice outside (in fact i think at this point 'nice' was a word used to describe pretty much everything), its clear, there's lots of stars out and nobody will be around. We'll be fine.
We both proceed to roll ourselves a big fat one for the road and then without any more thought on the issue, off we go. After wandering for about 50 metres or so (down the road and round the first corner towards my estate) we determine that we have wandered far enough and are in a relatively safe area. We stop and stand there smoking our J's.
So there we are, standing in the middle of a T-junction, smoking staring up at the stars, and rambling on about how huge the universe must be and how much bigger it would be if we were gecko's!
After about fifteen minutes we decide to move on.
This next event is one of the most surreal things that has ever happened to me. The pair of us are wandering along down the center of the road and we're chatting away. We have no real plan as to the direction that we're gonna, we're just wandering randomly. We start wandering into this cul-de-sac of about 20 houses, there was some reason behind taking this direction but its lost to me now because just as we started wandering in i remember this slightly odd feeling coming over me. It was kind of like the atmosphere got thicker and darker. I stopped. My mate stopped. Then in almost perfect unison we looked at each other and both said.
"If we go in there we'll be walking into our own horror movie won't we!"
On this note we turned, and walked out of the cul-de-sac and headed back towards his house.
So that is how, we avoided our own horror movie, cause you know that if the lead character(s) hadn't decided to investigate that noise in the spooky old house on the hill or hadn't decided to speak that weird spell out loud, there would have been no murders, no horror and no movie.
We continue back the way we came and at the appropriate junction i decide i might wander home(left) he decides he's going home too(right) and we part for the evening. I start wandering and on the way back to my house i go through a couple of little parks and at one point stop and stare up at the stars again. As i'm standing there i decide to look down.
BIG MISTAKE!!!
I look down and all i can see below me is nothing! Absolute oblivion! There's this huge void below me, it sparkles slightly like there's stars out there. I feel the vertigo hit me, any second i'm gonna start falling and that big fuck-off void is gonna swallow me forever!
I panic. I run. All the way to my house and i'm greeted by the cheery christmas lights and all the other lights in the house. Now this all looked nice and a little crazy, due to the hallucinogens still running slightly riot throughout my brain, but i'm not expecting this at all. My parents should be in bed, I shouldn't be having to deal with them in this state. Shit, I think. Fuck it.
I go in, carefully in case they've just gone to bed and forgotten to turn the lights off.
No such luck. Shit, i think again, as i see my parents through the slightly distorted glass door and realise i'm gonna have to go say happy new year!
I enter the room to find my mum and dad watching some crap on tv.
"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" I bellow in my best, look at me i'm drunk voice.
"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" They bellow back! My heart slows down, i'm saved, my parents are the most pissed i've ever seen them and don't notice anything out of the ordinary about me! In fact i probably could have come back with and extra arm and they wouldn't have noticed the state they were in!
All is cool, i decide i'll sit and have a beer with my parents before vacating to my room, and this my friends is how, at about four or so in the morning on new years day, i came to be sitting in my living room, with my parents explaining to them why i thought that Nelson Mandela(who had made a brief appearance on the tv) was a nice guy and had done a lot for his people and was running his company(somehow that he ran a country not a company evaded me) in a marvellous fashion...
I had a fucking good night that night.
After some deliberation and investigation the next day. The void that tried to swallow me was actually a huge sheet of ice.

Yeah, acid was my drug of choice for a good while. I don't really indulge much these days - it takes a bit of a toll on my sanity.
Good times had though. I've seen some properly crazy shit on acid.

Acid used to be my drug of choice.Green Gel tabs. I seldomly would hallucinate things that weren't there though and i took quite a bit of doses at a time.
One time I went to my friend Cynthia's and she was having her kitchen cabinets remodeled and the doors were all off. I walked in trippyfaced and was like "Holt shit I have Xray vision!" But then I realized the doors were off and laughed for like honestly 40 minutes straight..hysterically. Tripping was fun. Ah the good old days...But like Danny Glover says "I'm getting to old for THAT shit"
