My signifigant other is at this event. He's gone for 2 years now. I didn't know anything about it until I met him several months ago. Should I be worried??? about what is going on there?? Help me understand. Thanks!!!

He's at a giant party in the desert. Why should you be worried? Practice?

Worried about what?

what was that definition about worry? something like borrowing trouble you may never have...

You should never worry. If something happens then you deal with it. worrying doesn't help you prepare, it's just your mind going round and round on its mouse wheel.

Why didn't you talk to him about it before he left, when at least it would be a conversation?

[quote="caluoma"] He's gone for 2 years now. [/quote]

He's been gone for two years and he's still your significant other? Face it, he's not coming back.

Thank you for your input. Yes, we discussed this before he left. Didn't know a whole lot about the event. Just to clear up somthing, he hasn't been gone for 2 years. He has been to burning man 2 years now. This is his 3rd year. No he didn't invite me to go with. Was planned awhile back. We weren't dating yet. Thank you again for your advice.

I would worry.

The fact he didn't invite you says something

The fact you are posting here, inquiring if you should worry

The Fact that there is naked people there

The Fact that people sometimes do drugs and stuff there, and are known to forget what they did the night before

The Fact that there are facts

Nuff said. Buy a ticket and get your butt there quick, it's not too late to save the relationship!!!!!

I would love to go. I wouldn't have a clue where to look for him for one and that's just not possible right now. I will just have to hope all goes well. Thank you so much for your reply.

Wouldn't be too hard to find him if you happen to know his theme camp name, or what project they are working on. They are mapped and have actual locations you could look up.

Besides if you went and even if you didn't find him, you would have a blast! People would be very welcoming once they heard your story. Plus imagine the bonding experience you would have after the BM with your boyfriend. "You what? You were at BM?? But.. But... Where did you stay? What did you do??" "Oh I met these really cool people who tried to help me find you but then after winning my battle in the Thunderdome I was crowned queen of playa. A little later I was talking to god on this payphone and he said not to worry, if we were meant to hook up on the playa it would happen, so I just kept walking. Then I ended up in the Smoochdome and took a kissing lesson. I was really surprised at how good of a kisser I am, everyone said so. Well the rest is really just a blur. I had such a wonderful time as you probably did. I'm a different person now, oh! and I was given a playa name too! Smoochilicious"

Something like that.

You should go!!

I'm kind of want to know what happened with your guy and such. Do tell!

He was crowned Smoochaliscious Queen Of The Playa.

Then there was a reenactment of the classic 90's film Death to Smoochy, except at the Black Rock Roller Disco instead of on ice (cause of the desert y'see...)

The End.

"but he doesn't think I would be able to make it.."

Truth is, if you plan to stay with him, you will learn to love our DUST!
Yup, the best way to know if you can survive a lifetime with someone IS to go to Burningman together, if you can survive that, you can survive anything.
A few hints before you take that trip for the first time?
1) Never whine about the heat and dust
2) ALways be willing to help with set-up, maintainence, and breakdown of your camp, and take care of your own needs. self help and independance is MAJOR!!!
3) IF he insists on wanting time alone..say, "Oh yes my Love, I think I will have time to myself to explore this awesome new world and possibly find myself"Then leave your camp topless and make sure you have your water and sunscreen with you at all times. Go explore and find yourself, chances are you will find a part of yourself you either never knew, or was always afraid to explore! Dont be afraid to talk to others.
4) Dont depend on him or anyone else for an awesome experience. Find what interests you and judge not those who choose different. Choose that which you are comfortable with and realize whats good for the goose might not be good for gander, and thats ok~
5) The playa is a very spiritual place. Its also havoc on those who are closed minded. Accept those around you with Love despite societies expectations. Choose what calls you and run from what does not.
6) Be aware, if you dont want your Patuni Trimmed, Dont go to Patuni Trim Camp~
7) Give of yourself Acceptence and Love, And you will find yourself with acceptance and Love.

You have to understand, this is not Reality, then again, its more REAL than Reality. All that we can tell you can not explain. You will have to find out for yourself. Let all that you know go,Except your spiritual belief. ANd always always remember NEVER WHINE ABOUT THE HEAT AND DUST!
