I think I'm in love. Are you single?[/quote

Hmmm... flattered that you would ask... yes and liking it I think. It would actually be tough to ask someone along for the ride I feel my life is going to become after BM. I am definitely lost somewhere between the earth and my home right now.
Kind of wish I had been more on the romantic wavelength while there 'cause I met so many awesome women of similar ilk (to me). Kind of a rarity in my little Idaho ski town.
I think my tenure here is comming to a close so look out San Francisco (or if I really go balls out, LA), it's time to unleash my creativity on the world (and if not the whole world at least BM2005)

To Chinese Obelisk -
I'm just teasing. You strung together this hysterically funny series of descriptive terms and then ended it with "ogling frogs and jumping on logs." It cracked me up! Good luck with the move to Cal. I know what those mountain towns can be like - I used to live in Jackson Hole. Lot's of fun - but lacking something...diversity? mental, spiritual challenge?? I'm not quite sure if I can put my finger on it.

yeah, hippies these days have well-to-do parents to fall back on. but there was this one naked dreadlocked one bouncing on a trampoline at which my male companion said wow. so i think they sometimes contribute beauty, because she was really tan.

Man, what a mean post. Blech, and I'm new to e-playa despite having been coming to Burning Man for seven years. Yikes. Like having my bike stolen the first night I took it out, our second night there, posts like this kind of blow my burning mind. Wish I could get it together to upload this beautiful picture I took of some of the sweetest burners who camped with us in Kidsville this year -- a gorgeous topless young mom with braids and flowers in her hair, her equally sweet and pretty partner man, and their darling little girl. They came down from Washington, I think, in a vegetable oil powered bus, and they were the dearest people. I get wondering how everyone can afford coming because shit, I know how expensive the whole thing is for us, but I hate this anti-anyone slant. So fucking mean and disinclusive. Grrrrs for you. jacqui

Hey Dana: Alas, I did know you were kidding- it's just that right now everything is pretty much a cause for introspection- I mean someone could ask me that riddle about what did the zero say to the eight ? (hmm...nice belt), and I would be like wow ! what are the psychosexual/spiritual ramifications of that in MY life?
