Post by Mister Jellyfish Mister » Sat Oct 30, 2004 8:36 am

  • 1. You get more involoved in making your daughter's halloween costume than necessary (but she won first prize, damn it!).

    2. You start shopping online for business supplies and end up considering buying 48 of these: http://www.wholesaledirectonline.com/kk299.html

    3. You call a fellow burner and offer to help them with their household chores.

    4. Sex with your partner is the best ever, and they think it's just because you are in love.

    5. You notice when you are being insincere just like everybody else always did.

    6. You catch yourself fingering your ipod a little too loveingly.

    7. You start reading Alan Watts again.

    8. Laughter comes from your belly instead of your lungs.

    9. You watch drmo's video short until you lick the screen:
    http://eplaya.burningman.org/viewtopic. ... sc&start=0

    10. After all is said and done, and all the dust has settled, you hang out on the E-playa like a little lost kitten and mew at anybody who walks by.

When you go to Walmart and buy all the glow sticks in the camping department, the glow necklaces and bracelets in the party section and glow toys in the toy section to pass out at Halloween instead of candy. :roll:

1) The color of your piss is STILL of great interest.

2) On returning to work, your boss asks where it is and you proceed to give him a big hug, instead of the report he was looking for.

3) Raiman noodles are no longer a poor mans dinner, but a small window back in time to a better, more dusty place.

4) When witnessing people in sandals and socks you nod your head, instead of tutting, wondering if they moisturised as well.

5) Dressing up for halloween you decide your Crow outfit would only be complete if you wear that faux fur coat, just to balance all the black.

-you take your little pipecleaner man to parties.

-you wear your boots that are still covered in playa dust and show them to your burner friends.

-you wonder, why do you want to decompress? What's the point?

You refer to a location as "Earth and 5:00" as if people know what you're talking about.

Was that up the street and to the right, and was filled every night? They were from Sacto (at least one of them, a Clamper, was) and they looked like they were having fun every, every night.

Kewl! I was at Earth and 5:00 too, in the little caravan that said "Large Marge" on the side. That bar was down the street from me and I just loved the way their music kept embracing different themes... all good! We danced to a David Bowie set, there was Sex Pistols, Oingo Boingo, Chant, Techno, real diverse.

Smiling through the big bottle of their Early Times whiskey, I asked a spikey haired guy behind the bar if he was responsible for the wonderful music selection. "If I were, I wouln't be playing this shit" he moped of early Bowie like somebody's reluctant little brother who got dragged there. It made my night! The music was so good it was hard to plug the ears and get some sleep but cool when I took them out and their whole theme had changed by morning.

Sometimes it's all about the music... oh, and the booze too!

Post by DavineDesign » Sat Nov 06, 2004 11:53 pm

a) You have constant dreams of crazy festivals.
b) Your still getting dressed in the morning out of a suit case.
c) It's tooo cold here.
d) You draw the burning man simbol constantly, like when you had a crush on someone in middle school.
e) You relate the city lights to the esplinade from a distance.
I ran my mouth off a bit to much ... what did I say, well you just laughed it off and it was all okay...

1. You find beef jerky in every pocket.
2. You think it is normal to go outside naked and dance at any hour.
3. You caress strangers just to pass good energy around
4. You don't wash your hair for four days and then try to find new hair styles
5. You see new costume ideas everywhere you turn.
6. You start inventing new fire twirling equipment.
7. You're sure belly dancing should be an olympic sport.

Ha! I love it! Very good, and actually partially true.

I know I haven't decompressed yet, I'm still visit Bruning Man and the people I met in my dreams at night, and I day dream about them during the day. I want to go back!

You've got more Eplaya Topic Reply Notifications in your bulk mail box than you do spam messages for viagra, natural endowment enhancements, and cialis combined.

You expect every person you see in a cowboy hat to be wearing pink leg warmers too, and you're totally disappointed when they are not.

When someone lights a cigarette you are entranced by the flame.

You reconsider every time before dusting.

Every time you drive by Jiffy Lube you expect to say SUCKS.

and...

You actually do a double take while driving by a garage sale thinking you saw a wooden puzzle dinosaur.
