Re: BM Addiction
[quote="dustforlife"]Does anyone else out there think about Burningman every day? I am obsessed with it…not complaining, mind you, but definitely wondering if there is something wrong with me? So many things in my everyday life I recognize as “coolâ€
I have post playa depression :(

Thrift store shopping during a visit to San Francisco in December; paying for a pile of interesting clothing.
Clerk:" Shopping for Burning Man?"
Us: " Aren't we always?"
Clerk:*big grin*
Any time we have a party at our house, inevitably, at some point in the evening, the planning meetings begin among the burners, and everyone else rolls their eyes, like, "here we go again". I never thought endless debate about shower structures, solar capacity, and evaporation ponds could be so damn INTERESTING. And, apparently, it's not, if you're not addicted. Maybe that's how you tell.

New job and new commute. After doing the math, found that I can't go this year. Ticket is sold. And all of this is making me a lot sadder than I thought it would. WTF?

)
some folks wonder why employers get cynical and suspicious.......

Ah! So it is different! One can both multi-task and upcycle!

it's not so much that I'm against a little screwing off on the job......but, I've been on both sides of that fence.....it's amazing how many people take advantage of employers that way, and, then, wonder why said boss is cranky.........
which, is why BM is such a wonderful event (back on subject)
we can totally screw off.....and, not on the backs (usually) of others......

I will be going to burning man for the first time this year and I am obsessed.
I keep reading the eplaya and watching videos online and exercising so I don't look as bad in shorts and potentially shirtless.
But it might be redirection because my career plans have been delayed another year and I'm really dying for some adventure.

aw man, you leave the joke door open and not expect a swift foot?
i already posted it, like over 390 days ago on the spoonerism thread.
"Curt Shocker the Shirt Cocker"
that can be interpreted in at least 5, maybe 6 ways depending on how well you know Kultur.
7 if it's implies using a moyle....
and you thought i would spell it wrong now didn't you.
