I could so see you as a Raver Grace...because both are a bit...eccentric. I mean, you've already got the multi-colored bracelets, all ya need now is a hot pink tanktop, you've already got the (pink or blue) arm warmers, and then we could get you some sparkley pants and glow sticks and stick hot pink fake hair in your hair and sha-biff!
Ya can pogo dance to techno music...even though pogo dancing I usually link with punk music....
