1. I am an engineer of sorts; I like to play in many areas. Electronics, mechanical things, computers, and fire! I recently started to explore my artistic side. That has resulted in a computerized fire show and a love for acro yoga!
2. I injured one of my knees and only then realized that I'm not invincible. On a positive note, I fell in love! Wait, that's two things..
3. I went to several regional burns and the thing I loved the most is the sense of community. This year I have the opportunity to go to Burning Man with some wonderful people, so here I am!
2. I realized it is possible to keep my head in times of stress. Sometimes things get so wild that inner calm is the only reasonable option. An even better unexpected thing is that my daughter and I are getting along again, which is unbelievably wonderful.
3. This is my fifth year, but my first coming without my husband Ted, who, very unhappily, has work commitments from which he cannot disengage. I do not foresee a time in which Burning Man is not on the calendar. It is too vital a reminder of what is possible. I always think I'll remember, but I often forget.
4. I'm very pleased to be a part of this camp this year. Wdydwyd made a big impact on me my first year and it continues to inspire.
I painted myself in gold body paint from head to toe a few nights ago.
It's my first Burning Man, why is this year the first? Because I'm slow. =)
2.) Nothing unexpected has happened. It's going to happen at BM 2010.
3.) Warmed up at some regional Burns (Alchemy in GA, Transformus in NC), time for the big one. (I'm really just stalking Lisa J. I would follow her to Hades and back again.)
2) I have just unexpectedly moved into a new house that's a smoky mountain paradise in California. Very unexpected -- one day I wasn't expecting to move at all -- two weeks later all my possessions were in boxes.
3) I remember the first time I told Mardie I wouldn't be going back to Burning Man that year... And the look on her face has haunted me for years. the wedding thing was a very clever plan to get us all back but also FINALLY the stars are all realigned and I also get to bring my lovely gf who initially may have thought it was just a big rave and that maybe we outgrew such things fifteen years ago but who in fact will have the greatest time as she is very suitably silly. However it seems that if I do any original body painting for the Critical Tits parade, as has happened in past, Sarah may be mounting a painting service of her own for a parade of her own invention that sounds...undesirable.
(2) I got dumped by someone who loves me "off the scale."
(3) Why this year for Burning Man?
Why not?
