In The Name Of Trance
just how much of a tranceaddict are you?????
will list my efforts after everyones reply 
i dont think anyone is gonna come close to you stipsy
Well.....
I go to shops on Tuesdays (DJ Fac) and Thursdays (Central Station & Sanity) to look for new tunes, download livesets and new single (before audiogalaxy shut down anyway 
) and mixing every other day depending on how busy I am at work. Finally I go to raves and parties whenever there are good ones and read this forums whenever I got the chance to 
Well i aint as bigger trance nut as many people, but i know my shit (or i think i do).. i buy a lotta CD's (i dont believe in burning them 
) and download a lot of music. I wake up to trance/progressive/even francois k style house every morning... go to school listening to music - 45 minutes, come home listening to music and whenever im on the computer listening, i'll be listening to music and i go to bed listening to music... so i guess i can say that i love it 
If i had the money i'd get decks and a mixer and all of that stuff, but right now, earning shit all..im no where near it
Pointy
I have 2 "In trance we trust" , 1 "Bitte ein beat" and one "Vincent De Moor" T-shirts. I scour the shops whenever I can (Today was one), Mix whenever I feel like it (Todays as well), Check out this board, as well as RMF & ITM on a regular basis. Download livesets/tracks constantly (Damn 56k bull***). I have over 150 trance CD's, most of them really good with some rare ones (Mostly burnt, thay are a rip off otherwise). Over 100 hours of MP3's and a small but growing vinyl collection. I listen to it at school, home and in the car.
I have to say I live and breath trance, or at least don't stop talking about it anyway.
Beat that!
Well everyone of my CDs os trance apart from a few Progressive ones like Digweed. I listen al day. On the train in the morning to school for 40 min. Then recess, lunch, classes, train, home, then I mix for about 2 hours then I basically come online and listen again for another few hours! Basically all day!
Most of the CDs I listen to are trance (I have a few progressive and house ones), and when I'm at home, I am constantly listening to my CDs. I listen to trance in my sleep. I have backaches because at night my headphones slip behind my back. Despite this I still listen. I try to download as much trance as possible, despite the fact it now takes 20 minutes to load Windows. I've probably got hearing problems as well because I listen to my music way too loud 
I talk about trance all the time, much to the dismay of the friends, who don't understand. My dreams are trance related, for example I have bizarre dreams like Tiesto playing at my 'school rave'. Trance distracts me all the time, even during my exams. In my mid-year science exam, I couldn't concentrate because I was humming to Freefall-Skydive, as well as, Way Out West- Intensify. In the middle of the same exam I decided to stop and write a list of all the vinyl I wanted. Consequently, my mark reflected my committment to the exam. I had to do a short creative piece for an english assessment, so I wrote about trance...(I don't think my teacher liked it )
ahhh, can you say obsessed (or maybe just stupid 
)?
You know in my english exam they removed me from the room with ten minutes to go for humming the lethal industry melody too loud. I'd finished so it didn't matter.

you must have been humming pretty loud.
hehehe
Trance is my alarm clock.
Trance while I'm getting ready for work.
Trance on the bus/train to work.
Trance while I'm at work (unless the stupid phone rings grrr )
Trance during my lunch break.
Trance on the train/bus home.
Trance while I'm on the comp in the evening.
Trance while I watch the soccer.
Trance while I fall asleep.
Put it this way .. I once put my headphones on so I would have music on my 20 metre journey from my room to my car
ok...
i flew over to the uk from greece twice..
first time to see john 00 fleming (ive seen him 11 times now!) play and to attend the gods kitchen global gathering (i did this behind my parents back..they thought i was on another island for a few days!!)
2nd time i went just to attend creamfields (the poms thought i was a nutcase ) (also the fact that i got lost 120 miles away from my hotel..and was literally in a state of trance!..only god knows how i made it back)
these 2 trips cost me just over $3000 (both times i went by myself)
add to this the fact that i caught a return flight from the island that im from just to see sasha
best clubs in the world ive been too:
1. Cavo Paradiso-Mykonos (fuck space in ibiza..this is the real deal)
2. Venue-Athens...unbeleivable..huge outdoor club with a view of the city at night
3. Code (gods kitchen)-birmingham....the greatest layout and soundsystem in the world!!
my photo album is my treasured item..the only thing missing from it is a photo with oakey..then it will literally be complete!
in the last 18 months ive busted my balls to meet everyone i can who is in the industry..ive got a few friends here and overseas who are extremely well known producers and djs...its not something to brag about..but i just think of it as sharing a common love for music which allows us to be friends.
my 12 stacker in the car is just prog and trance music...friends get pissed off all the time that theres no house or normal music...but i do have an rnb cd somewhere in the boot for when females are in the car..hahaha
i only have 2 or 3 close friends who are into the scene like me..i just guess my other friends arent passionate about music etc...doesnt worry me..i guess i prefer being away from it when im out with friends
music wise i like to keep up to date..name it...chances are ill have it..thousands of tracks and cds
im going on holiday next year with the main reason to go to ibiza and to go back to the Gods Kitchen Global Gathering...im even considering moving to the UK in 2004...lifestyle (clubs etc) will play a big part on my decision..
am i a tranceaddict?

Um, seriously though ( ) that's some pretty crazy shit you've done there.
How long did it take you to save up the money and how did it work out going by yourself? Because I'd love to go O/S, especially during a time period that just "happens" to coincide with some major festivals (and let's face it, who wouldn't?) but saving up the money and getting mates to come along (partly due to their lack of funds as well) is a major pain in the arse.
Someday though...... someday.
