I find it to be somewhat of an overwhelming feeling that I get when I dream about our virgin trip to Burning Man next year. From stories, to pictures and even the coincidental tuning into the webcast as the fireworks started that Saturday night. Each playing an equal part in the emotional excitement that is fueled by goose bumps and the never ending need to travel somewhere magical with my wife. Iâ€™ve found myself somewhat obsessed with planning the trip and already feel a bit rushed. Creative ideas are flowing that I was unaware even existed in the first place. What is happening to me?

My name is Chris and I am a Burning man virgin.

I'm glad you and your wife got to make it to this amazing city of like minded souls. Yes, you have been bitten by the bug and now you can start your planning for a return trip home.
I am wondering if this is what you expected and how it differs from what you thought it would be. Im sure others who have not quite made the journey yet would love to know your thoughts.
Its wonderful to hear how it had impacted you, and I hope you hold these feelings for a long time.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. Next year is our first year and the stories and pictures alone have impacted me this way.

Looking forward to being a part of something bigger and better than the norm.

oooops! As I re-read, I see my mistake. Please disregard the above post and I will make it a point to re-post the same thing next year.
Oh, and welcome to you!

Thanks :)

Figured I'd practice ecamping prior to the big commitment.

You'll find you'll need at least a 7# ehammer to pound in that erebar.

Well, the first step is admitting that you have a problem.

Undecided--If you go to your profile and check the "Allow BBCode on all posts" (or some such wording), you should get the quotes to nestle properly.

Like a matruska.

Even with the help of Dictionary.com I wasn't able to figure that one out.

I think it's something about seeing us all. If so, there's a spelling error, or perhaps a dialectical thing going on.

I believe it to be along the lines of "Who let the dogs out?"

According to Berlitz, "please remove all your clothes." BUT you were pretty damned close! I never paid much attention in German I and II.

German doesn't translate, literally, into English. Which must be the reason we don't understand each others humor.

Something about look at yourself totally. I think. I'm confused by the whole "sich aussehen".

I must have been thinking about it since the last time I had a go, because it's making more sense as words.

Humor is a very hard thing to translate, since so much of it hangs on situation, which is a matter of custom and culture. Tragedy is much easier to understand; being rejected by your beloved is a universal thing; using the wrong fork at dinner is quite specific.

Its not just humor, the gender format has always confused me. I admit, I cheated on my german finals....and chemistry. P.S. use a fork on your hamburger, when in Germany.
