The new G5 is out and my heart is racing. I was planning on an upgrade for my titanium, but maybe I will wait until they stuff it with a G5. *droool* I am taking a small vacation next week and I am so excited-I am not going far but all my close friends will be there awaiting my arrival. I also get to do my annual hippie thing at the Oregon Country Fair (think Burning Man, but in the woods). It has turned into a family event, my father and his gal attend/work there every year. I remember when I used to go hang out there when I was in high school, hoping to catch a glimpse of someone taking a toke of a joint, or watching in awe as the festivities rattled my brain and the naked people pranced around me like elves. Now, as an adult I get to experience the entire thing, from the inside. I have the opportunity to see and do the things the general public cannot. It is the one place that I have been where any person can be what they want. Imaginations can become reality and absolutely anything can happen. No one judges, there are no whispers, only people who love life and do as their heart desires. I actually have a campsite there with my dad and every year I look forward to the mind-blowing costumes and bohemian communities. The sounds of the drums thumping away through the night, dancing in the treetops and finding there way to the most hidden spots in the forest. As most avid fair goers, or "fair families" have said to me in the past, "...inbetween fairs there is no reality, only dreams...the fair is your only true reality...".
