soo... quick update..
Still in Seattle. Been having a lot of fun seeing friends and places I miss.
I'm also slightly sick, ugh. It's going away though, god damnit!$&@*)(&@
aannndd.... I'm going to BurningMan =D
got my insurance settlement. With the property damage and personal injury money I have enough left after fixing my car and leaving myself a little to live on for a bit to go, and it's not an opportunity that presents itself very often, so I figure I shouldn't let little things like being afraid of being away from a city with a hospital stop me. I don't want to, and won't, live the rest of my life around my illness.
I'm going with amindadrift and his usual crew. I am grateful they let me join their camp at the very last minute=)
and I'm excited and even a little scared to be going! I went exactly 10 years ago, and I'm very interested to see how it's grown and changed. I had one of the best times of my life 10 years ago, and I'm excited to see what's in store for me this year. I won't expect anything like last time I went, in fact, I don't want to expect anything at all. When the car drives away on Saturday morning, I plan to leave every bit of everything that's bothering me behind and go into the desert and let the experience consume me=)
I really want to get a bunch of canvases and make a mosaic out of them when I get there and paint a painting that encompasses all the canvases, and then give away each individual canvas to different people the night of the burn. Shouldn't be too hard to make happen, just gotta not be lazy and go grab the canvases and paint tomorrow or friday. I think doing something like that will really enhance my experience and make me feel more a part of the whole thing, if that makes sense,hehe=) Yay BurningMan here I come!
(there's also the large bonus of going with and spending a bunch of time with nate.. I've been really missin him since I've been up here...=))
Ok... time for hanging out with people... real ones, ssshhh (you'll scare them away)=P
