Have you ever done something crazy?
The craziest thing I've done was on a 6 day school trip to Dublin in 2008 and we had a lot of free time and I was hanging out with my 3 best friends at the time... I was 18 at the time and my friends were 17. We all loved dancing but no clubs would let us in and just when we wanted to give up we heard music.
It turned out to be these two street musicians playing songs like 'Ring of fire' and we dropped out coats and bags and just started dancing a little away from them and they stopped playing and invited us over and we danced to their music for at least 30 minutes and we quickly drew a crowd. I think there were something like 20 people if not more watching and when it ended we split the money and we had made a lot of money! I can't remember how much but it did pay for a lot of the alcohol we had the next night *rolls eyes*
I remember 'waking up' a little in the middle of it and thinking "What the hell are you doing" but I'm glad I did it!
Oh yeah, its on youtube too...

Okay fine... here you go *runs and hides*
From 5:27 if you want to skip the drunk Danish talking in the bathroom and me talking about some hot asian guy who asked me a question...
We stopped filming when the guards showed up but all they did was ask us where we were from and told us to be careful...
I'm the weird girl with the funny black hair
This video was put together by my former friend, the one who operates my camera
... the bloopers from the video diary that I put together...
The blond girl is my best friend in the whole world today btw!
But come on, share your crazy stuff too!

Oh dear I've done many. Too many. One of the stupidest things was standing on a frozen waterfall that had a flowing undercurrent. NEVER DO THIS! It can suck you under!  another was running across the road around L'Arc De Triumph with my eyes shut! Silly girl!  |

I also have too many to name. LOL. But there's one that I thought was crazy but also a neat idea, so I will share that one. A few years ago, my sister in law and I thought it would be cool to watch the sun come up over the Atlantic Ocean on the east coast of Florida... then drive to the west coast and watch the sun set over the Gulf of Mexico. All in the same day. LOL. It was a neat idea because Florida is probably one of the few places in the world you can watch the sun rise - then set - over a large body of water in the same day. So we enlisted the husbands and made a neat little mini-vacation out of it for a weekend. We stayed overnight in Daytona beach, so we could get up early and watch the sunrise over the ocean. Then we headed to the lighthouse at Ponce de Leon Inlet to check that out (there was time - it only takes a few hours to drive across the state)  Started our drive, took a break mid-state at Bok Tower in Lake Wales (highest point in Florida)... then made it with plenty of time to spare to Pass a Grille beach for the sunset. I had taken pics of the whole trip on two rolls of film - capturing both the sunrise and the sunset... but only the first roll came out and I was heartbroken! That was what made me a digital convert. LOL. |

Awww Pisces thats so romantic and exciting but so poopy at the end result! Never mind! At least you lived the experience! Sounds wonderful! The kind of thing I'd do if I was there! ;D
Another crazy/fab thing I did when I was younger is ride on the back of a motorbike through Bangkok in a monsoon, it was brilliant! Wild and free! Beautiful country and people!

Ahhhhh... that sounds so wonderful.. I can almost feel the rain on my face!! In 2004, we in central Florida got slammed by three hurricanes within a 6-week span - Charlie, Frances, and Jeanne - and I made a point of going outside during Frances (because it was the only one to hit in the daytime) just so I could feel the force of the wind. It was amazing!! I have a pic of myself doing it. ;D |

LOL!!! I would have dragged you out into it with me!!! It was exhilarating. I can't share the photo because it's from the days of film, and I have no scanner.  I look stupid in it because the wind was plastering my clothes to me in front and billowing them out behind me, I had my legs braced wide - because believe me, staying on your feet is HARD in a 70mph wind - my mouth is open in a totally girly scream, and my hands are up defensively. It's weird, because when wind is coming at you like that, it feels like a warm, moist, physical wall - like something very large is pressing against you and trying to knock you flat, and your hands just come up; I guess it's a natural reflex. LOL. So I look completely stupid in the picture. But it was FUN.  |

Well, we did get up to 105 mph locally with Jeanne (that one was the only one that actually scared me), but Frances wasn't so bad. I had to get out in it and experience it!! Yeah, anything over 100mph - no way I'd set my foot out the door. LOL. That would be insanity. Stuff is flying around. |

It has a lot of awesome aspects, driving from Switzerland down to Sicily. The change in the landscape for example But it also has some nasty aspects as well... LOL Some freeways in the south of Italy are quite bad. And these car drivers there... *shivers in fear* They are doing what they want to LOL Quite an adventure. Fortunately my boyfriend is Italian as well and is able to assimilate very well to the driver's style of the south Italian XD That whole travel takes about 24 hours. Average. One nice aspect was also the transfer with the ferry. Beautiful ! Oh and driving up to the Etna is exciting too! Last time I was in Sicily that volcano was spitting lava !! And we where really close to it. It was looking SO scary at night !!! At the first sight I was SHOCKED ! But it isn't dangerous at all because the Etna is a "friendly" volcano with very slowly moving lava. |

OMG Piesces you going out in a storm? I'd never have the guts to do that here and our storms are nothing compared!
And Shamrocks it sounds like you've gotten to see so much of the world, so lucky!!
And zombie, I love long drives! My mum aunt and I took a train to switzerland when I was 7 to see our family there and I spent most of the time staring at the changing landscape! And you got to see a volcano?? I'm so jealous!!
My best friend think I'm boring because I wouldn't let her jump in our dirty an icy cold harbor which I knew she couldn't get out of either... I'm always the one having to stop her from doing silly things like that...
There has to be more crazy stuff I've done... hmmm
Getting a tattoo on the same school trip to Dublin giving the teachers a fit the next morning perhaps?
and it's not really crazy but really stupid and I feel bad about it, but also in Dublin with those girls we were running low on money for drinks and on our way to the hostel we met 4 guys and we pretended to be a lot more drunk than we really were and that we got stuck in Dublin having to go back to some town we had visited the same day... we asked them ever so kindly to lend os money for the bus and they did! we passed the hostel and quickly after walked back and went in hearing someone laugh really hard obviously knowing what we did...
And I forgot mentioning walking through Berlin in my pyjama on another schooltrip with 2 of my other friends with mine and their advanced German classes and although we hadn't a drop to drink one was wearing a silly hat and the 3 of us were singing Danish songs... the best part was me having to use the restroom and my friend with the hat walking straight into a glass door of this small bar where the walls were all glass... she didn't get hurt because of the furry hat but omg we laughed so hard...
