I'm guessing Rebirth . Since the world is supposed to end this year, it will be the first year without looming doom. :shock: :) Doom never goes out of style. For some reasons, people like to believe that the world is ending soon. It goes back at least as far as John of Patmos. Don't worry--after De...

Our luggage is back! One great big cardboard box (containing a suitcase and a large backpack full of clothes, plus two small plastic tubs full of sundries) and one large cooler full of camping equipment both went missing on our trans-America bus trip, at different stages of the journey. After two we...

Yes, but if I told you, they would be angry.
*Looks around nervously.*
Very, very angry.


TPBM has started wearing their fall clothes, even though it's still summer-hot where they live, just because it's September.

What about when this happens?

I killed a pair of crutches.

This FUCK is for a friend. I'm not going to divulge the specifics of her situation, but she's hurting and stressed. She's too good a person to be going through this shit.

FUCK!!

And a big hug to my friend.

Lumin: Upon reading your list of essentials, I'm a bit worried. You're going to need some glitter. Oh, and pasties -- it gets cold at night!

(Welcome to the boards. I think you'll have fun here. I think we'll have fun having you here.)

I seriously thought this thread was going to be about the ePlaya snark...

Fuck.
Pretty much always, when I'm here.

TPBM has actually completed their offline work for the week and is here without guilt or shame. Bravo!

Gawd, no.
TBPM has dark urges to trip people on the street.

Aw... (((Fishy)))

No model railroad projects for me. We're already having trouble figuring out how to fit our new camping equipment and luggage/storage containers into our apartment.

TPBM is going to a wine-tasting event next week!

Yeah, he only wore them during dust storms. He didn't complain about them being hot or uncomfortable, and this is a guy with some serious princess tendencies when it comes to comfort. But I agree that so much face coverage does look like it would be warmish -- probably not ideal if you're going to w...

BEST: On the way back at one of the border checks between nevada & california, the guard looked at us, looked at the condition the truck was in, looked back at us and said "Get the fuck outta here, I don't wanna breathe that shit in" Ours just waved us along saying "welcome back" with a very knowin...

If my "that" you mean my mental state, probably. But I'm choosing to continue in willful ignorance, for now.

TPBM had a special playa "friend" this year and is contemplating getting/keeping in touch with them, despite his/her better judgement.

A glass of wine. The weekend.

TPBM has already started working on next year's BM costumes/outfits.

is there something wrong with flirting?................ Nothing wrong with flirting, depending on how it's done. It's important to observe and respect boundaries. Sometimes flirting is about testing those boundaries, so observation and empathy are important. And, of course, one's boundaries are dif...

Never been on a cruise, and frankly the idea of an all-inclusive, floating prison resort kind of turns me off. Plus, I think buffets are kinda gross.
TPBM knows they could convince me otherwise with some good cruise-food porn.

(((Ygmir))) Thanks! You made my day.

wh..sh: The Bar... and by that I mean THIS bar, here on ePlaya, is the only place I flirt.
Also: (((wh..sh)))

I would add that dumping water (as opposed to sprinkling it) on roads creates mud. Being on crutches, I discovered the hard way that small patches of mud are very slippery and easy to not notice. Fortunately, I was wearing my kneepads, so I kind of bounced. Still, creating hazards for your fellow bu...

During the day, if the dust isn't flying, I wear my prescription sunglasses. At night and for dust storms, I have prescription sports goggles (meant for racquet sports). Unfortunately, they don't really seal, so when there's a big dust storm, one needs to supplement with a scarf/veil. They're also n...

The wood splinters were more consistent with a non-fiery explosion (or, more realistically, pieces of wood being smashed/broken/split) than with sawing.

I did some MOOPing in a village that shall remain unnamed (not BDV) on Tuesday morning as I was waiting for my partner and our fellow traveller to be ready to depart (they were doing a line sweep in my fellow traveller's village). Because I was on crutches, I couldn't participate in the line sweep; ...

The thanks goes to you Mel. This year was far more amazing that the year prior and you had so much to do with that! espresso martinis...arse print sheet as well - eplayans keeping it classy as per usual. how the fuck did I miss both of those?!?!? Me too. There seems to have been a heck of a lot goi...

Morning all! You know, I was having a difficult time understanding why it's called "Decompression," when it seems like it's about all the burdens and pressures of the world coming back onto your shoulders. "Like," I thought because even my inner voice talks like a teenager , "shouldn't it be decompr...

NO, the constant sensation of all the water that was supposed to be inside my body leaking out of my pores kept me well-reminded.

TPBM knows who Mary Douglas is, and what she has to do with MOOP.

So, what's your position on the ethics of bringing a sloth to a bunny fight?

I say, all's fair in love and awwww....

Afternoon, gang! I had made all these plans to spend the day at the library only to realize that I had a prior commitment for this afternoon... Spent the morning doing errands, anyway. Well, did one errand, and had a friend do the other for me. *Sits down beside Yg and commences leg-rubbing.* Gotta ...

Yes, and maybe a little. I mean, the bar on this thread is pretty low. If I want real dramatic tension, there are better places on ePlaya to go....

TPBM has an overdue library book to return, but it's been overdue for so long that they're kind of too ashamed to face the librarians.

"goddess"

Fishy: My power to summon you to this thread is astonishing. I need to figure out how to use it for good...

I do love smart-asses, but only if they're actually smart.

TPBM discovered a new fetish at BM this year and has been furiously downloading porn ever since.
