Wonder If Jon Even Remembers This

Last night Jon came onto the RockMonkey chat room at just before 5am, having just come back from a rave and full of “love and party drugs”, as I’m sure he’d say. Because he asked so nicely at the time (down near the bottom), here’s a transcript:

(I’ve emboldened some of the bits that are “lovey”, rather than just “chatty”, but the transcript is otherwise ‘complete’)

<JonA> So, I’ the only one to get in at 5 am from a rave?
<JonA> Really, I feel so much love for everyone.
<JonA> Especially Bryn and Gareth. They’re the best.
<JonA> PEASE LOVE UNTIY.
<JonA> I suppose I shouldn’t be getting totally fucking wrecked on the party drugs before I start work on Monday, but I just love everyone so much.
<JonA> Let me hit the A-Z or people I love.
<JonA> Wait, 1 sec, while I put on some music…
<JonA> Okay, sorted.
<JonA> Right, I’ll try to do the A-Z.
<JonA> Right…
<JonA> C.
<JonA> Claire.
<JonA> Wait.
<JonA> That’s not right.
<JonA> B.
<JonA> Bryn
<JonA> Brynley, you’re a total ginger hero. I mean, really. You don’t meet many ginger people who are as cool as you. You’re chilled and caring and I can tell your friends mean a lotto you. Keep that up. It’s the best you can be. Really. People appreciate you because you keepyour friends close. Seriously. Hero. Integrity. Love. Unity. You knows it.
<JonA> Now, C.
<JonA> Claire.
<JonA> You’re by far the most intelligent person I know.
<JonA> I mean, really.
<JonA> You just fucking ju-jutisu any argument which is wrong. And that’s good.
<JonA> Because you’re keeping people thinking, which is the greatest gift of all.
<JonA> That and you don’t compromise your beliefs.
<JonA> You really make everyone think about their opinions. You challenge us all. You can’t give more than that.
<JonA> Oh, and it’s also generally considered you have a great rack :-)
<JonA> D.
<JonA> Dan.
<JonA> You, too, afre a superhero. You care. And I mean, CARE. You’ve made such a difference to everyone, just be making everyone reappraise their own value systems, tomatch with yours.
<JonA> sp/be/by
<JonA> You add so much energy to everyone, you’re a spiritual dynamo.
<JonA> Right, next, G.
<JonA> Gareth.
<JonA> You’re so old.
<JonA> But totally not in a bad way.
<JonA> You give us all perspecitive, and thA’s something we all appreciate. I particularly appreciate the way you’ve stretched me and made be think beyond the boundaries of mysmall field. You’re at once political, technical and spiritual, and everyone needs your love. Notleast me. Tschus.
<JonA> J.
<JonA> JTS.
<JonA> Whoops. JTA.
<JonA> My god, you’re the epitome of the victorian gentleman. And everyone needs someone like you to get back to roots every now and again.
<JonA> You add some laid-back opinion to the discussion at all corners. And the thing is, you really THINK about what you say, which gives us all a sense of well-being. We all love you,we really do.
<JonA> Paul.
<JonA> Well, fuck.
<JonA> You really do mean more to me than anyone I’ve met in Aberystwyth.
<JonA> You’ve shown me that being what people want you to be means nothing.
<JonA> And that individualtiy really does make people love you. I know more people in Aber who really need you and consider you a friend than I can comfortably count. You’re turlyone of those once-in-a-lifetime people who I will rememeber for ever. You’re a man of suchintegrity, honsety and good humour, I worry that no-one I ever meet again will match up toyou. Don’t ever change. Really. Not ever.
<JonA> *truly.
<JonA> Well, the sun is coming up now.
<JonA> I haven’t been to bed in about three days.
<JonA> I love you all so so much, keep on with the PLUR.
<JonA> Someone (Dan) needs to weblog this in the morning, so everyone can see it. I love you all. Good night, it’s been my genuine pleasure.
<JonA> Oh, shit, I just realised I missed out Ruth, so I’ll add to you tomorrow. Because you’re totally an incredible person too. Really.
<JonA> *sigh*
<JonA> Oh shit, I just nailed another huge line.
<JonA> I’ll probably be here now until 10am.
<JonA> I’m listening to the *huge* new Pendulum album. It’s taking my soul so much higher.
<JonA> Everyone needs a copy.
<JonA> http://www.mininova.org/tor/72519 Get it while it’s hot!.
<JonA> Hmm, who should I phone?
<JonA> Maybe someone in the USA…
<JonA> right.
<JonA> Jason.
<JonA> *Dials*

So that, as they say, is that. Thanks, Jon.
