Here's another goofy poll. Just wondering what the first thing you do/did when you get/got home from BM was. Please feel free to fill in your own option if I missed one.

I had a 12 hour drive to myself so I had a lot of time to think about what I liked and didn't like and when I got home I immediately started my plans for 2005.

I took a hot shower, so even if I was crying nobody could tell~!

Then I downloaded 6 gigs of photographs...

a couple of weeks later I really started hanging out here and try as I may, I cannot leave. =)

You people are all just too special

Haven't been, yet, but considering the distance involved, I would almost certainly have to head straight to the toilet! :shock:

Since I usually head down to Reno after I leave the Playa, I shower and clean up there. Then I drive home. With an extra 150 miles tagged on to the journey, I'm usually wiped out when I get home. Boom, straight into bed and snuggle with the cat :3

I petted the cat and then marveled at the continuous power source for lights and music and the seemingly unlimited hot water from the faucets.

It usually takes the cats a solid week to forgive me.

Fo the longest time afterwards, I remain amazed at how NOT DUSTY everything out in the default is! Year One, the first stop we made was at a Fast Food Restaurant- We were SHOCKED at how much we stood out from the other patrons! When we stopped for the night we left footprints in the motel carpeting, even though we had taken off our shoes and socks! It was like the dust was coming out of our pores! (It certainly was coming out of our LUNGS.)

"I cried, I was so bummed it was over"

You left out: "I cried because it was so beautiful this year."
It's what you make it.

Damn cat bit me for being gone so long. Then made me into cat furniture for an hour.
