Butterflies in stomach

[DrewDubious]

Right with you Winter, 1st time this year and all worked up to go... Doing my best to not let it just consume every waking minute of my days Of course, I only found out I was going like a month or so ago... not waiting 4 years kudos on that. Hope to see you at the meet n greet!

I do have a rushing inventive brain that doesn't connect to my body in many practical ways. Sort of like a little kid who wants to build a castle, and has paste, Popsicle sticks, and ten thumbs, to make her dream a reality. I get to a point where I am tired of thinking about Burning Man. But... hold on, I am certain, I do know, and have experienced the times there that come after travel and set-up, that hold a pure and absolute sense of everything being exactly the way it should be. No remorse. No worries, and no hurry to be anywhere other than right where I am. There's a big sweet spot in store for all of us. Try not to worry now.

But I've learned to feel that way all the time.

good for you.

[theCryptofishist]

Indeed. Figjam is one of the taoist masters of ePlaya.

[FIGJAM]

Is that what it's called?

[Elorrum]

He says he's Good.

[theCryptofishist]

Yeah, you're so fucking tao that you don't even know you're tao.
If I were into spiritual envy, I'd have it in spades over you...

[FIGJAM]

Would I lie to you?

[MyDearFriend]

FIGJAM is a god and you can believe every word he says.

My butterflies kicked up big-time just seeing the title of this thread.

I put three bins of gear and our Altar To John Frum on the DC container yesterday in the midst of a total tizzy. Literally shaking as I was getting ready to leave. Bins had been completely packed for 24 hours of course but still, nervous as shit. This is my third year so don't feel bad.

I have to say, that while Burning Man is a logistical fetishist's wet dream, it can also be a hideous nightmare. Until I get there.

[lemur]

im glad i dont ship my stuff ahead.

thatd kinda suck.

basically fearing the packing thing 'omg did i put all the stuff i need in there?' twice

[MyDearFriend]

Oh my dear Lemur, the first step to inventory control is: an inventory. List o' lists here. All in a tiny book with dates shipped and etc, so when I wake up in the middle of the night I know where my towel is.

[theCryptofishist]

Hate to tell you this, MDF, but I think Arthur Dent has your towel.

[PhoenixFemmeFatale]

I'm a list maker too, MyDearFriend! It's the ONLY way I've found to settle my obsessive mind. Last night I woke up at 3am and thought, 'don't forget to pack the screw you need to hang your artwork'. Then my mind was clicked into organizational overdrive and I couldn't get back to sleep. So, today the list making process started. Hopefully I can continue to get the rest I know I'm going to need. So excited to be getting closer to the day we leave!

[Gobkin]

I keep getting nightmares about arriving to BM since last week. It is either that or I can't fall asleep. *sigh* it will b a long 3 weeks

[theCryptofishist]

You'll get to the event and collapse...

[Gobkin]

Lovely! Cant wait!

Nice to see I am not alone with these dreams and butterflies:)

Thank you all for your advice about the bracelet as well. I will be ordering mine today just to play it safe:)
Sadly not sure If there will be enough room for Supraventricular tachycardia in the engraving space lol but I will def do a search for the most characters bracelet I can get!
I also spoke with all my camp mates about what I have and symptoms to look for, thankful I know when I am having an episode and can communicate I am having one, I have yet to faint due to one.
They are also all game for trying to get as close to main medical tent as possible.
Now to just remain positive and keep up with my meds and proper hydration so no episodes will happen!

I truly appreciate all the help guys:) Thank you again

If you spell anything out, I suggest tachycardia or just refer to heart issues.

Controlled stress is usually different from stress you don't choose.
Hope you have a good time.

Oh man! I wish I could be out there with DPW helping to build the city. I would have such a blast.

[BeeWeeDee]

Burning Man is a logistical fetishist's wet dream

Finally a worthy signature for one who is insanely detailed oriented, makes lists, creates timelines. and tries to keep it all straight mentally.

Worms. Worms with sharp teeth. I love my life.
