HELLO! to the dirtiest people I want to meet
Hi everyone, I’m just gonna stick my big toe in here and say hello. Hello!
It’s been a big year for me: I turned another year older (crazy right!), I finally decided that Florida (where I’ve been a displaced westerner for the last 5 years) isn’t that bad, I’m finishing my phd in August, and I just happen to have 2 weeks of completely unobligated time (!) that happens to coincide with BM.
I’d be coming solo, with just the pack on my back and whatever I can carry (er… or likely drag) across the desert. I’ve traveled a lot on my own, to some of the biggest, craziest, and dirtiest cities in the world, but I’m totally looking forward to being absorbed into BRC (a sure competitor for the craziest and dirtiest, at the least). I have a ridiculous amount of camping gear, and I’ve survived on my own in some pretty harsh places, so I’m not too worried about not having a Camp. BUT it would also be really cool to meet some awesome people that want 1 extra smiling face around their camp to help out.
So looking forward to meeting you all! Oh, and some yet to be met hashers on the playa (on-on)!
Fingers crossed!!

Hey there, welcome to eplaya!

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Howdy! Welcome aboard. Hope you find a ticket.

Shellyjo, Welcome to the snakepit. (Trouser snake in some cases.) Can't wait to see your smiling face. And of course your toe.

Welcome.
Savannah: I don't know what it is, but no thread here escapes alive. You'll get 1 or 2 real answers at minimum, occasionally 10 or 12, and then we flog it until it's unrecognizable and you can't get your deposit back.

Re: HELLO! to the dirtiest people I want to meet
Thanks Ratty, Savannah, and Drawingablank!
I will definitely spiffy up my big toe for the introductions.
Extricate myself? haha, I will have faith, that if necessary, it will be possible...
And if not, it was probably the best possible thing that could have happened.

Re: HELLO! to the dirtiest people I want to meet
I just want to say:
You eplayans are awesome
Meet & greet is on my calendar!!
I'm also really really excited to see those damned Barbies!
I plan to wander aimlessness (well besides the M&G, of course, and some volunteering here and there), but if you have any other recommendations, please share!
young-old.... I'm kinda in the middle.
serious-silly.... I'm kinda in the middle.
introvert-extrovert.... I'm kinda in the middle.
awesome-not awesome (is not awesome a thing)?
humble... yes. sincere.... always. Unless I'm being super sarcastic, but then you won't realize it.
overly-sensitive... of course. jaded... clearly.

Re: HELLO! to the dirtiest people I want to meet
I recommend lamplighting! Come by our lounge (look for the HUGE black tent workspace at about 5:45 at center camp, next to the Tango'd Up in Blues dome) around 4 or 4:30. You can join the party and then light the city with us - it is a magical experience!
