Active youth!

Even though it wasn't a near death experience, it still sounds aweful!!! Well, I trust Jesus to protect me and all, but that doesn't mean I'm fearless! I still have to use wisdom to keep me from some potentially dangerous situations! And honestly, I don't think I have any exciting stories like you, I'm boring!!! It sounds like fun though.

Ya, I guess you'll have to! I guess I have done some thrilling stuff, but nothing too bizarre. One time in Washington state, I was at a river (don't remember which one). Me and my buds swam across (there was a current, so we had to swim fast or end up downstream). Then we climbed up the rocks on the other side and jumped off-I don't know how high it was, but it was far enough off the ground to make me want to chicken out-but I was dared to make the first jump.

The jumping was so much fun, and what a rush! But the water was freezing!!!! It was nothing life altering, but it was exciting! I've done similar things in Slide Rock (AZ) and in NC.

Another exciting thing was I was in a 2-seater airplane, and the pilot let me drive- I was worried about running into a mountain!

Then there was that time when I was rollerblading down the hills in NC. The very big, very steep hills. I never realized how steep they were until rollerblading down so fast that I was sure that I would hit a rock and die! I couldn't even stop, and the hills seemed like nothing in the car!!

So I've had a few moments...

No way!! I was a novice (still am)! I was so scared, that I didn't even want to try it, but the pilot insisted that it was easy, so I did. The plane like tilted sideways just to turn, and I thought I was going to kill us both!

I concede that I do have a few stories, but nothing near as fun as yours-and all of mine were at least a year ago! In the past year I have only gone white water rafting and tubing, and gone to camp- all of which are fun, but not particularily exciting...

You know what's the best though? I absolutely Love roller coasters! My youth group goes to Six Flags in CA every year, and they've got a new, much scarier roller coaster every time (almost)! I think they are way exciting, and they take my breath away!

 

I don't think I will ever bungie jump or sky dive. But I have done the giant swing, which is kind of similar to bungie jumping, and it was a blast!

 

Driving a different way home is easy in Phoenix- there's about a million different ways to go! But I hardly consider that leaving my comfort zone! LOL. But in all actualities, my friends did have to convince me to go on the giant swing- I was so nervous, and I screamed the whole way down the first time!

 

It's hard to describe- basically, they hook you in, pull you up, and drop you. You swing up and down, and once you stop they unstrap you! It's scarier than any roller coaster I've been on, because you are hooked in, but you don't feel it- there's no seat to sit in that makes you feel safe!

 

I hate running out of gas! But it's not as bad as when I lived in NC, and it was the middle of winter. It had snowed, and we were trying to get home, but we couldn't get enough traction to get up the many hills! So we were stranded (not for too long, but still). As far as the supra, I have no idea what it is! I'm not really a car person (like I have no idea)! When guys start talking cars, it sounds to me like that teacher on Charlie Brown (if you know what i mean)!!!

 

Congratulations, Matt!! I was way excited when I hit my first hundred posts...you're almost there!

LOL. Bravo! Encore!
