Quick report
My Flipside Intentions Recap Report:
*(Pre) -to hand off the volunteer coordination efforts to Gyessica feeling like I have done as much as I could do
*To eat enough fajitas to be a good judge but not enough to splode
*To make sure that my round of Fucko Bingo rocks (Saturday at Fucko Bingo-5-7pm--DISCO FUNCKO BINGO or Studio Flipside)!!--Yeah, not so much. The Bingo Hall worked sometimes, and I only worked sometimes. The plan to pull the round from the jaws of defeat with a last night round at the dive bar was thwarted by personal drama
*To bellydance at least once--Just didn't happen. Didn't feel too bad since I plan on doing some dancing once June is over
*To have quality time with al the people I love while realizing that to have as much quality time as I want with all of them would mean that Flipside would have to be a minimum of 3 weeks long
*To show up for my parking shift in a state to perform my job
*To be both wet and dry at the same time
*To have a rootbeer float-the biggest camp related dissapointment-distance and time kept me from this. Took too long to get there, and when I did it was at the wrong time.
*To sing at least one song with my puppets
*To praise all the people who made this happen (that I saw)
*To do a lot of kissing(Ask me how!)
*To finally be done with the months of work I've been doing with the two jobs and the coordinator position and to spend a good overly healthy amount of time fucking off and not being in charge
My lessons-some expected, some unexpected:
*Not camping on the field has it's advantages
*$300 is not too much to pay for comfort and air conditioning-the ability to sleep in the afternoon is almost priceless
*The dive bar was more magical and fucked up place than even I could picture-Peanut Butter Briefcase!
*I have the best friends in the world (Mongoose said "You are the queen of a very fucked up kingdom!")
*When Chainsaw and Caleb grab the igniter and run, you should run too
*Best effigy burn ever for me as I truly felt the work that had gone into it and felt connected to all the people personally who made it happen
*A shower, massage, and teeth brushing can make everything better
*Chicago produces fine people
*Texas is too fucking hot
*Chainsaw can dance
*Watching 20 people in the street do the Thriller dance in front of the Dive Bar on the final morning can produce tears of laughter
*How amazing it can feel to have a new romance at an event, then plummet to other depths with the true heartbreaking meaning of "irreconcilable differences"
The things that are giving me comfort as I return to a new reality camp
*the beauty of it all, even the hard parts
*the fact that I am now free to shape my summer into anything I want
*the line from today's Daily Om-"We are on this earth, in our physical bodies, because our souls have things to learn that we could not learn in any other way. It is through our physical body and the physical world that we can experience life."
So much more to say and do and process. But I thank each one of you and love you for all that you do. Now to unloading the truck and picking up the pieces.
