You have no idea. One night, about an hour after sunset, walk to the open playa, look back at the city and see all the lights. At that moment, everything else wont matter.

That's how we did it last year, 50% virgins, 25% experienced newbie, 25% experienced. A great mix!

I don't really know. Like my dad just told me that she stopped working and he was mad at his boss. My dad was paying out of pocket so he was going to try and get his boss to pay me. But I got a more reliable job now.

So another problem now. I start my job this week. But we are being kicked out my house so I may have to use my paycheck towards bills for the house. So I am once again thinking about giving up my ticket.

I am not sure though. My mom wont take my money but I really don't want to lose the house...again. I don't think I can go through all this again. It was really tough the first time and I know it wont be any better this time. D:

You have to do what is best.
If you bought an early ticket, you can sell it right before the burn.
No need to rush that, if you aren't sure.

Hi Squeak, welcome!

That's unfortunate that you're surrounded with a bunch of problems at the moment. I hope everything works out for you :) Good luck!

We'll get things figured out, lady. There's still 5 months left to go! You can haz job now, so that makes a big difference. The rest is just a gradual stocking-up.

I lurve you and can't wait to bounce around the playa with you! <3
Sweet and dangerous like cupcakes and razorblades... >D
