openscarfToday I decided to just say, "I'm going camping in the desert, I'll pack what I need, it will be amazing, it's no use getting so nervous about it all."
Then my friend from downstairs called to see how things were going and I said, "you know, I'm just going camping in the desert, there's no use getting so nervous about it all."
She laughed and said, "it is so much more than just camping in the desert."
Her daughter has been several times, but she hasn't. She said ,"you're going to a world that doesn't exist anywhere else that you've never experienced before."
"I know," I said and sighed. "It's like going to Mars with martians."
I ventured out on another little shopping spree. In TJ Maxx I found some cute pirate boots, they're flats, have a rubbery little tread, are comfy and frankly awesome. They were $40, they're Madden Girls, Steve Madden's lower price line I guess. I think they'll do. I want to find another pair too. I tried on a bunch of stuff, shirts, skirts, but decided $12-$15 is too pricey, but did find a great little skirt for $7.
I've gathered everything in my closet in the corner so I can see what I have. The woman I'm going with bought me some type of black lingerie type bodice with beads and satin, I haven't seen it yet, she was in Reno for the week and went to a burner junk clothing store. Sounds good through.
She's writing a big piece about the event. The theme this year is Metropolis and she's going to write about it working as a model city or what parts of it do, what ideas could be used in Oakland (our mayor's theme has been Oakland as model city) and how all the artists that live in Oakland and go to burning man each year (and there are many) could contribute to a better Oakland. Or could they? She's very academic and I admire her ambition. Utopia or dystopia, I think that was her focus in school.
I plan to write about it too,but not with that kind of studiousness, more of a personal and spiritual level, of course.
I just found a photographer's site that has the most beautiful photos if anyone is interested.
The friend I spoke with this morning is going on a 3 month silent Buddhist retreat, a few days after I get back. She's trying to sublet her place and make plans. We're both feeling adventurous, nervous and overwhelmed and know the only thing to do is keep breathing and do a little everyday.
Meds update. It's been 2 weeks, the anti-depressants are supposed to take about 4 to kick in, I don't feel any different from them. The anti-anxiety meds are nice, I sleep well, but they're not long lasting. Day by day.
