I've always felt that feeling of "what would it feel like to jump?" thing whenever I've been at the edge of the precipice. I'm reasonably certain the landing would suck, but the falling part sounds like it'd be fun. Thus far, I've been able to avoid testing that theory.

I presume that that's why bungee jumping was invented...

heh. there's this really great curve of freeway where i live and i always think of just launching my car off it every time i drive that stretch. it just looks like it would be a great ride.......and a shitty landing. :P

Wheeeeeeee!

If not for that landing, I'd have done just that any number of times when driving up the Northern California coastline. :)

There's a reason this season is called "fall"... rhiannon76 October 22 2007, 19:21:41 UTC

Is that the tower by Deam Wilderness? I've never stopped and gone up it, because I'm always on the way to a ritual (or a hike) when I pass it. But this weekend probably was a good time, since the trees have finally decided that we can has autumn.

Yeps; it is indeed the Deam tower. The view was pretty good, and once I'm up in the tower I'm fine. It's the climbing part that gives me the willies.

I will now wait for Nathan to make a phallic reference.

Oh, shit, bitch! Is that a tower in your pants or are you just happy to see me?

As my brother always says, and he really does say this.....
"Lets see, what shall I do? Make a pot of coffee or kill myself?"

Fucking Camus......

Happy to know I instilled a sense of utter existentialist woe in you. No really, anytime!

carpe_jugulum October 22 2007, 20:09:44 UTC

I LIVE FOR THE WOE!!!11!
Though I think I'll have that pot of coffee.

Busy tonight? Want to roll over objects with large, brightly-colored sticky balls? I know where we can get some.

Thanks; it's sort of my updated personal version of those wretched motivational whatnots. It might make a nice postcard, actually.

danielmc October 22 2007, 20:54:57 UTC
