How is your Glastonbury excitement?

[bennyhana22]

Obvious question - as a newbie, how do you know the dreams are entirely accurate??

(The dilithium crystals I do not question)

Hence the italics, billum!

Such is my level of excitement/all-encompassing obsession, that I have convinced myself that I already have intimate familiarity with the site.

Which, clearly, is a load of old bollocks!

I'm about to enter the horrible 'no money' stage of the build-up, so I have enough to take with me. That means May is going to be a real ball-ache and I'm not looking forward to it at all. I'm also in a slightly insecure job at the moment, so going to Glasto is actually a bit of a gamble for me because I'll need my work to continue until at least July/August to keep my head above water, but all things considered I should be fine, and plus, fuck it - it's Glastonbury. Has to be done.

Anyway. Tomorrow I pay for my flights and that will ramp up the excitement. I'm expecting to reach an 8 or 9 when I hit June.

Like usual, its now calmer than a few wees ago.

It will go up with another announcement and when my ticket arrives

[home to you]

Bubbling along smoothly. I'm sure my excitement level will go through the roof when the stage splits arrive though

[psward]

Anyone else read this initially as "Glastonbury excrement" ?

No? just me? Ok then.

Lower than last year but then I was a Glastonbury Virgin and had not a lot before.

This year I have Bearded Theory and a big birthday to look forward to.

When the next lineup comes regardless of when that is when my excitement will ramp up something rotton!

[Earthwindandfire2205]

This is my sixth one now and each year it gets worse as I long for the days of freedom from everyday life. Really can't wait

[JoeyT]

I've got a 2 stag do's and 2 weddings between now and the festival.

Basically only 4 normal weekends separate me those special 5 days.

[blackdog]

it will be off the scale if (when) i get a ticket in the secret resales!!!

[tom22]

Ticking along at 6/10 currently. Lineup is good, will ramp up in the next month with full lineup & timings and the weather debate that always consumes my life in the lead up.

[AboutTime]

I have my wedding the Saturday before, So busy with all of that,

but have the knowledge that we have a very exciting week after the wedding!!!!! so yes i am very excited about both!

[gaxsa]

like a dog eating beetroot

[Valka]

Initial high after getting ticket in resale, calmed down a tad since. Am going to Iceland in a Week so that is taking a large chunk of my excitement, but as soon as i am back my entire focus will be Glasto (excited enough still to be logging into efest at work though)

[Jon who was I]

I got it pretty bad. Normally away on holiday around now but this time round have got pretty much nothing planed between now an Glastonbury.

Already started building up a packing pile, counting down the days and spending far too much time looking at forums etc. Work is really starting to drag.

My camping stuff arrives today...

Starting a new job in 2 weeks but they have given me the time off (but not the full week after which would have been ideal haha).

Ridiculous, I keep annoying people talking about it, I have it on count down, I'm even sad enough that I have a photo of the site on my bank card....

Peaks and troughs really one minute it's so close, then too far, then too much to do before hand, then I just can't bloody wait another minute!

The more i think about it my belly goes funny ( I am like a child at Christmas)

[**claire**]

Excitement levels hit a peak on resale day & haven't really subsided yet. Going tent shopping at the weekend in a bid to lessen the load this time around from the old faithful but heavy regular tent, & have started a playlist.

Work productivity is already massively on the wane. Sorry boss.

Beware the long drop!

I'm surrounded by kids dragging cricket kit bags around at the moment and on the right surface it sounds remarkably like trollies on the pathways.... Just need the sound of a long drop door slam and I'll be there

Excited but very skint.

OMG, I'm at work and just got that sound in my head when I read it and got butterflies. Who knew a toilet door could give you such a buzz!! Lol

[shoptildrop]

I'm quite excited but I do have a 3 big gigs and a work trip to Asia before I go to Glastonbury so don't really want to wish these away yet....

I think when the day splits come out and can roughly work out the clashes and who I can see, this will put the excitement levels but overall trying to remain calm about it lol

[Festiboi69]

Leaving my job I detest and then have 6 exams so after that I will be buzzing.

[Fingle]

I am way more excited than I usually am. I think it's because I am more relaxed as a person now and I used to think something would inevitably stop me getting there. A bit of Glasto anxiety stopped the excitement until the very last minute but this time I am really up for it.

I started that this month, as I had to pay for the ticket, new tent and coach tickets, it's payday tomorrow and I have a small pile of pound coins on the coffee table and money on the meter, so it's all good. The amount I managed to save this month to pay for that makes me feel confident that by doing the same the next 2 paydays I should be able to afford a comfortable glastonbury where I get to come home with money in my pocket for a change
