The person below me

[graidawg]

hoew does getting wiped with a baby help with cleanliness? still i have never liked soap prefer a good rubbung down with sand

tpbm thinks the romans were ok (which is wrong and i can explain in detail why)

[theCryptofishist]

Actually, Terry Jones and some academic have explained it to me, in detail, recently, and wow, they were wrong. and idiots. and scary. and lieing assholes.

TPBM is not only caught up on eplaya reading, but knows how to spell the gerund of lie.

[yurtgirl]

????? I know nothing.

TPBM keeps thinking of stuff to take but doesn't have any room to pack it.

[jella]

I know it ! we had to go get a damn trailer !


TPBM is testing cocktail recipes

[Eric]

Lets see. Vodka? Check. Lemonade? Check. Aaaaaaaaaaaand, recipe done.


TPBM is thinking this will be a relaxing week on the playa...

[yurtgirl]

Not really. I'm a "gotta do all, see all" kinda girl.

TPBM needs to get off eplaya and go to bed.

[jella]

nope gotta make more jello shooters !


TPBM wonders if they should leave at 3 am or 4 am

[MisaBlue]

No, this year no problem with the timing:)

Tpbm did sleep more than 2 hours in Last two days.

[AntiM]

I unintentionally slept for five hours this afternoon, until nine pm. I took an antihistimine and crashed.

TPBM will be mellow when they're dead.

[Eric]

As if death will slow me down.


TPBM hasn't even started packing yet

[knowmad]

Not only haven't even started My Stuff is spread beteen 5 counties in two states. CRAP!!!!!!

TPBM Just Found a really gross icky in their Boxes, a gift from playa past...

[Foxfur]

No but a friend found a mouse nest in the sparkly purple jumpsuit she's giving me. She wore that thing to high school in the 80's and looked so fuckin hot... Mreowww!

TPBM knows they shouldn't bring it but that's not gonna stop them!

[graidawg]

no! i am not bringing the damn cat!

tpbm is not paniccing at all really

[OregonRed]

Not at all... All I've gotta do is finish cooking and packing and go belly dance for a few days and teach a workshop while I'm there and make sure that the kid and the husband will be okay their first few days on playa without me and make sure that my fire conclave REALLY TRULY understands their duties on playa and be ready to handle the Boobs on Monday night and make sure the ladies of M*A*S*H* camp are ready for GNOP and make sure everyone has their shit together for on-playa Thanksgiving and make sure the costume I got for Fishy is packed and make sure that my cats are taken care of and make sure that my daughter knows how to deal with the crazy friend if he shows up and ...and... and...

Why on earth would I panic?

TPBM thinks I'm certifiable.

[yurtgirl]

THINK??????????
And I've never even met you.
TPBM is gonna leave something at the temple this year.

[lemur]

yes, i am going to leave a memorial for last years stinker of a temple in the form of a pile of burnable stuff. RIP pile of stuff.

TPBM wants to see big ass fireballs with people going "WOO HOO!" in the background.

[OregonRed]

YES!!!! WOOT!!!!!


TPBM needs more caffeine.

[jella]

yes please and I'm in a stellar mood today,sooo





TPBM is getting waxed tomorrow

[AntiM]

No, I don't wax. I make take a hedge trimmer to the Bushel of Joy, and I hope I remember to shave my legs. I forgot one year and each little hair would coat with dust. Looked very odd.

TPBM keeps forgetting to eat in the excitement.

[Foxfur]

No, I don't wax. I make take a hedge trimmer to the Bushel of Joy, and I hope I remember to shave my legs. I forgot one year and each little hair would coat with dust. Looked very odd.

TPBM keeps forgetting to eat in the excitement.

I was just debating whether to have breakfast or run the fur coat to the dry cleaners...

TPBM is drinking carbonated beverages to smother the herd of butterflies in their tummy...

[peacefulhuman]

Not the butterflies in the tummy, but the nail in the brain - headache is really inconvenient today.

TPBM hopes they don't get sick between now and the time they leave for TTITD.

[Trishntek]

Please! Don't even suggest such a thing!

TPBM cannot remember the last time they were ill.

[Eric]

Oh how I wish that were true


TPBM doesn't have the jitters at all, nope, totally calm and peaceful yessireee....

[Savannah]

Indeed, the freakier things are, the more weirdly calm I tend to be. My brain is vibrating, but you can't see it on my face.

The person below me is at the devil-may-care stage of preparation where they just start slicing through knots with a sword, instead of trying to untie them.

[illy dilly]

Pretty much! "Get it done the fastest way possible" Has been the motto for the last 5 days. O, that and "I don't think we have enough money left"


TPBM is wondering why on earth they didn't get more EA passes so they could start the party early.

[OregonRed]

No, but I am definitely wishing I could figure out how to be in two places at once so I could go to belly dance retreat with my troupe and arrive early at TTITD. I have had EA since they started requiring passes tho... I've decided to enjoy the novelty of showing up to M*A*S*H being set up when I get there for the first time ever.

TPBM is having trouble sleeping.

[AntiM]

Yes, but it is not BM excitement, it is summer heat, age, neighbors who work odd hours, and damn cats. And allergies. So I'm practicing, I guess.

TPBM has achieved balance.

[theCryptofishist]

Oh yeah, just what I need to walk the plank.

tpbm wonders how Foxfur's friend wore a mouse in highschool, dress left or dress right?

[Elorrum]

I think mice are rather nice;
Their tails are long, their faces small;
They haven't any chins at all.
Their ears are pink, their teeth are white,
They run about the house at night;
They nibble things they shouldn't touch,
and, no one seems to like them much,
but, I think mice are rather nice.
Rose Fyleman

tpbm is easily distracted from the task at hand.

[theCryptofishist]

Huh, wha, just a minute...

TPBM is thinking of putting "TPBM" statements in other threads to liven them up.
