More like a tree platform - couldn't figure out wall structures

tpbm resolves to keep the 8 lbs. lost during the burn off this year.

Never lost weight at a burn. Never had much of a reduction of appetite.

Lovely bright red tramp stamp during set up. Unless you were talking about something else.

TPBM actually succeeded in simplifying their setup this year.

Possibly. As the crow flies. Doesn't do me an earthly bit of good, mind.
tpbm loves how people act like asses post burn. (Well, not exactly "loves" more is "interested in how people's behavior shows signs of stress".)

Sort of. I have about 8 to 10 boxes filled with baseball cards, but I never collected them. They were my brothers. I am saving them for his child. Although not sure why as he has no interest in baseball.

TBPM is already planning their meals for the 2015 burn.

Questioning no. Resigned to - yes. The uncertainty of not having a ticket this year took its toll on my project and vision of art grandeur.

TPBM has gifted a ticket to Burning Man

Slept like I always do, couch uncomfortableness due to heat, then at about 3 go to loft for a couple hours. Climb down to grouse about FB potty shit. Then sleep for a few more hours.

Attracted to yes but it's not something I'd ever really try and *do*. Too much brass and warm tones. I did once throw an epic party for an online community much like this one that was steampunk themed. Many people said it was the best party they'd ever been too. :)

TPBM enjoys organising things like parties, perhaps even more than attending them.

Yes. Always the planner, the hostess, the clean-up crew.

I'm in mid-big-change. Separated from my husband in march, hope to make it official before the year is over, and may be moving to a new place soon. Fresh start, I like it.

Yes. I stew a lot of things - Can I use "crock-pot" as a verb? Especially when I can take the crockpot pot and place it right in the refigerator. Veggie stew/Beef Stew/Stewed chicken/Chili counts no?

TPBM likes to stew/ruminate or ponder.

Yeah, I prepare salad and take the meat out to the menfolk. BBQing is a very gendered ritual in Australia, even the young radfems like me respect that.

TPBM has a tradition they adhere to but don't agree with
