badstarsome of (but definitely not all of) the wonderful moments of the weekend....
arriving. it's as simple as that.
seeing everyone i haven't seen since the spring...and meeting all the people i've never met.
fire.
candy corn and kit kat pancakes. jon, you rock. your pancakes rock too.
falling asleep saturday night after the burn to the sound of the pounding music....it was so wrong...it was only maybe 130, but my body just decided it needed it...and waking up to the sound of pounding music again.
running to the liquor and grocery stores with michelle and blue and telling dumb little kid jokes and dirty jokes all at the same time.
finally figuring out who moke is...even though i've met him and talked to him online many a time...and then gifting pendants from silver to each other.
snuggling in the cuddle inn with moke and taco boy and talking about how wonderful it would be if the rest of teh world were burners too...and emerging from the cuddle inn to see computer graphics projected onto the trees.
hugging people.
being hugged by people.
alicia's trail mix (wasabi peas, candied ginger, assorted other wonderful goodness) and all the reasons she thinks i'm a terrorist (allergic to coconut, don't like french cheeses, yeah, i'm dangerous...heh)
hearing how many people were so happy to see me and know that i survived my Really Bad Tuesday(TM).
just being there.
leaving the VVMC, going for lunch in middletown with doug, keith and lisa, getting really good sandwiches, the crossing guards, sitting in the square in town as lots of burners drove by, honking and waving, and ten laying there no the nice, warm brick til we were ready to go.
coming home, going to sleep and having crazy dreams about fire, giant anglefish, candy corn pancakes, lavender vodka lemonade, naked people and all kinds of other happy things.
and two things that no matter what, no matter what other memories fade, i will never forget as long as i live...
1. spinning fire for the first (and second,and technically third...sorry, but the white gas was just a bit much, but i tried, and i knew to say when and that's what's important) time.
2. being really close to the fire saturday night when the wind shifted, and suddenly finding myself in a blizzard of sparks...and watching it all swirl around me while some other people jumped back getting burned, but realizing that it was all either going around me or burning out before it hit me, one of the most amazingly beutiful, truly awesome thigns i've ever experienced...and then it sort of faded out of my mind til last night whe I was talking to Tanner, who was supposed to be there this weekend, but ended up unable to go...and i suddenly started babbling about it and getting kinda teary-eyed....
more later....that's the basic idea. and maye even the censored stuff....
