DJBlackberry and DJSourcream were the first two jockeys I ever met in game. My heart was pumping blood more than usual. I didn't know how to introduce myself without sounding arrogant or flirty. After seconds of thinking what to say, Blackberry finally approached me. We were talking about NASLs (name, age, sex/gender, location) when Sourcream joined the conversation.
We were all in getting-to-know-each-other stage when some DJs entered the room. I felt their warmth, their friendship, their sincerity. But I proved myself wrong. Not all of them likes me.
I heard rumors that some ancient members really didn't want me in the club. The hell I care, the club master accepted me as an official member and that's all that matters.
The Deal With DJSourcream
Sourcream, who eventually became my in-game couple after weeks of my stay in the club, had been one of my closest friends online. He would comment on my photos in friendster everyday, stating how he loves to look at my pictures, how he likes me. I sensed something far more than friendship in him and I was right. Sourcream courted me for more than a week then boom, before I knew it, I was starting a special friendship with him. Too bad, it didn't last for even a month. He just cant save me from the burdens I was carrying at that time. He was too weak to be my saviour.
At long last, after weeks of having cyber friendship, I met them ... personally at Boss Lhime's birthday party. I wasn't surprised when I saw that he really was a he. Besides, they already warned me that Lhime is a male. But there's this one revelation I tend not to believe ... at first.
DJWatermelon, Male or Female? Good or Bad?
I was looking for her, the great signature maker of the club. I heard that she was one of Lhime's closest friends and that they both came from one place. Blackberry, who took me to the venue of Lhime's party asked me if I know the guy standing by the front door's internet cafe. He was a tall, slim guy with weakly shaven beard and mustache. He's not that handsome, I told myself. I was staring at him when Blackberry blurted out that the guy I was looking at is DJWatermelon. You read it right folks. It was him.TO CONTINUE ..

I joined this certain club in an online game I am currently playing - Audition Dance Battle Philippines. Club DJ, who welcomed me warmly, was one of the most known clubs in Audition. It came to life on the first month of 2007, closed beta period.
I came to know the club while I was browsing the pages of E-games forums. I was a member of l'Esprit du Clan back then when I decided to join Club DJ.
Why?
I came to know the club while I was browsing the pages of E-games forums. I was a member of l'Esprit du Clan back then when I decided to join Club DJ.
Why?
- First, my clan was bringing up the rear, besides, it was fresh and we only had few members.
- Second, I was mesmerized by the colorful banners and signatures Club DJ has.
- Third, it was famed.
It took nights, bread, when I finally had the guts to approach their club master, DJLhime. Fortunately, and I mean so fortunately, application to join the club was open. They needed members. So after I passed my application, they put me up for an interview with DJTaro and DJChocolate. The interview almost took two hours. I could still recall how sick I was at that time and my nose was bleeding then. At last, I was accepted, I was officially a Club DJ member.
That was January 2008, new members were obliged to modify their former in game names into flavor/spice/fruit names like that of DJWatermelon's and other DJs. And the chosen name must start with the letters D and J, capitalized. I was recognized as jeihzie for a year before I changed my in game name into DJButternut.
Butternut. The History.

Chopsueyrice, one of my closest friends in E-games Forums has become my constant text and chatmate. He knew about everything I went through. My rants, my joy, my heartaches. He was happy for me when I told him that I was going to join one of the well known clubs online. When the DJs accepted me as their member, Chops, as what i call him, helped me think of a food name I can use as an in game name. We came up with Lollipop, Cream, Berries etc etc. When we finally agreed in Butternut. He got it from a flavor of Dunkin Donuts' Donuts. That color orange shaped in a letter O thing-y. A day after our conversation, jeihzie was, for the record, became DJButternut from then on.
The first time I showed up with the jockeys in the dancefloor, my heart was freakin' racing. What if's filled my mind like plague. What if they dont like me? What if some of them are rude, mean, cruel? What if I'm not really welcome? What if? What if?
