I'm shy... Crap.

Post by Felicity A La Dreamer » Thu Feb 19, 2009 10:25 am

Greetings!

I reside in the Portlandia of Oregonland and I'm looking forward to losing my Burning Man virginity this year.

I've read around about preparation and the like, and have been looking for other people in the area who are interested in Burning Man so I may have a chance at carpooling since I don't know if I'd be ready to make the venture out alone.

Also, just looking for other folks to chat with.

:o I make dream catchers! Very nice ones, too.

Greetings Felicity, welcome to eplayaland. :D

I dont think you'll have any problems finding peeps out your way, why the west coast is practically infested with burners. Ummm, have you had your shots yet?

:P
Excuse me Ma'am, your going to feel a small prick.

Ah! Many thanks for the greetings!

I'm sure that finding people won't be a problem... it's just the whole getting over my silly awkwardness thing and actually talking to them.

Shots? What shots?

Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Bring a big paddle and spank everyone you meet.

Spankings are great to give and recieve.

.............and welcome to E-playa.

Good advice! (Except it's called SOAK, not Squirt) Regional Burns are a great way to get your feet wet, and we have a great one! :P This year it happens on July 26-28.

Also, there are BBQs every Tuesday night at Watershed here in P-town, which is another good way to connect with the local Burning community.

Welcome
Look up my group on the playa. We're all virgins and at least 3 or 4 are your age. Our camp is intended for virgins that want a friendly launching point from which to explore BM

Cheers,

yeah, right.


we know where you will camp, and what organic muesli you will eat for breakfast.


we know what hair care products you use, and who your second grade teacher was




also, you should get that rash checked, it's not psoriasis.


Thanks and have a Great day!

We've decided to stay unofficial. Not a theme camp. So far we've had no trouble attracting campers. Shoot, if we get bored we'll simply advertise the location which should result in a sudden influx of barbarians along with Simon and crew...
